the door is not in your house and if his wife likes the second stain just keep quiet and deal with it. when you make it in your house stain it however you want to.
First stain: excellent, gorgeous, deep, rich colors, grain just pops Second stain: still good, good grain and color Third stain: disgusting, like, WTF was she thinking?
I really loved the way the doors looked before they got sanded down at the end. I still think they look good, but losing the clearly shown woodgrain and the coloring just isn't my thing. More to that point though, it's ya'll house so even if other people don't care for it, what you guys like/want is what matters. Love your vids and can't wait to see how the rest of the room/house turns out.
Agreed. I went from thinking they were OK to looking bad. I hope that is just because of the camera but I wouldn't be surprised to see a future video of the doors being sanded down one more time.

@@husainramakdawala5588 OK. thanks for reminding me this is not in my house, I forgot. All I was saying is there is a good chance his wife saw it a second time and actually didn't want to say do it again a 3rd time immediately afterward. I'm hearing very negative vibes. I'm OK with them having it any way they want. I'm also OK with them doing 10 more edits. It gives us more videos. Sorry If you heard negativity that wasn't intended.

Got to be honest man, the way the doors looked before you sanded them was so so so much better. You could see the grain of the wood. Now they look patchy with big cracks in them. 🤦🏻
i actually really liked the stain that your wife didnt. it went really well with the white room and the final stain just looks dull. but not my house and probably one of those things where in person it looks completely different.
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan ruclips.net/user/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
Just an FYI, it's likely cracking because of the end grain to side grain connection. The middle (chevron) pieces are drying out and shrinking across their width, but are constrained by the rails (and the dominos used to secure it). You've essentially made a giant breadboard end without allowing for wood movement.
That was my thought too. If I remember, the reasons that shaker panels are installed into rabbets is to allow the panels to move independently of the rails and styles. This would have worked better if the chevrons had been cut with a spline that allows them to slot into a grove along the styles.
Hey guys, I'm considering building an outdoor gate with the same design. What would be the right construction method to avoid the cracks? Should I use tongue and groove to connect everything? For the inside panels, should I use glue or leave them loose to allow for wood movement. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
@@EduardoAndreotti2 There are a few things to consider, the way you join the frame is up to you (dominos, dowels, tongue and grove, etc). The most important thing is that wood expands and contracts across its width, so you need to account for that. The easiest way, for a door in that style, would be to construct it like a frame and panel door and make sure the panel part (the chevrons) sits in deep enough grooves that it can move. It would also help to not glue them all together, so the movement can be spread across a few different panels. Veneer or using plywood for the chevrons is another option that would work. Using plywood strip instead of solid wood for the chevrons would let you glue everything solid as per this video.
Gotta agree with other folks in the comments, the first stain looked better in my opinion. Also, I’d love to see an episode where you addressed what you learned about the cracking in the wood. I get that the doors are up now and you’ll just look at them as “adding character” (I’d do the same thing), but you didn’t intend for them to be there. So, I’d really get a lot from an episode where you discuss what you’d do differently if you could. Regardless, huge respect for you and our family for putting all of this out there for us to see. That takes courage and I look forward to your videos and watch them as soon as they come out. Keep up the great work, it’s inspirational for all of us DIY’ers out here.
Call you Danielson with all that sanding, poor guy. It turned out great though and the festool domino joiner is a game changer. Keep up the great work as the goal is for us to continue to inspire others to build something awesome! 👍🏼
I definitely prefer the original stain you put on it. But having said that it doesn’t look terrible. Really like the hardware you put on at the end. It’s a nice accent and ties it in really well to the hanging and sliding hardware. Been waiting for this video, our house is being built and I’ve decided on a barn door for our “bonus” room.
I loved the second stain on the doors. Having said that, the way those boards are cracking, the last stain makes the doors look older then they actually are. The final effect is awesome!!! 👍 This does highlight the importance of doing tester pieces so the chances of sanding and re finishing go way down 😋😅👍👍👍
I congratulate you for making exactly what the customer wanted, even when it was different from what you planned. One of the biggest reasons to make your own stuff is that you can make it perfect for one important person, and it doesn't need to sell to anyone else. The shrinkage-caused splitting does look interesting too.
The very first stain you did was so good! I definitely agree that the second stain wasn’t it… it was too yellow. Even a dark walnut stain would’ve looked nice.
I thought the second stain was too yellow too! It was clashing with the rest of the colors in the house, especially the floor. Definitely should have chosen like a darker, cool toned stain.
Great. I break my back working to bring all of this into fruition, only for my wife to pass by and tell me "she doesn't like the stain" that she specifically picked. So, if my wife wants something specific done with the colours and she changes her mind or becomes disappointed, I will let her do all the work so she can make it as she wanted.
Here’s my take- she picked the stain based on the final color. It’s his job to color match the actual stain to the wood he used, not blame her for not knowing it would be different based on the wood. Dudes at fault here, not her.
Regarding the cracks you mentioned at the end: Did you use framing lumber? If so the boards probably weren’t completely dried. As they dried they shrunk a little causing the cracks you noticed.
@@waynetibak1828 that doesn’t entirely address my point. Dimensional lumber could be green or kiln dried which have drastically different moisture contents. Kiln dried should not have the problem I was describing
@@teejer90 Even kiln dry dimensional lumber is not dry enough to not get movement after it dries. I made a "nice" table once with kiln dried lumber. After it dried it still shrank 1/4 in some places.
When doing body work on a car we use guide coat to help sand everything perfectly. Same technique with the pencil before sanding. As always great work! I will say I did like the stain and clear you used when you first hung the door before changing it to the final stain.
Excellent job as always. Man you did the right thing sanding down and repainting the doors, because she will remember about the color every second of you life. So is better have a happy wife for a happy life.
I must admit I much prefer the very first stain you used (the grey one) before you even hung the doors, it was more of a sort of grey wash over the wood and looked really great. . . . But at the end of the day . . . Happy Wife, Happy Life.
Good looking doors, man! I did like the first stain, too, but I understand keeping your wife happy. Ultimately they have a better eye than most of us dudes.
Dang, I love how you show the pain and agony of finishing something just for the wife to not love it. The things we do for our wives! This happens alot at my house! Good work! Your channel is very inspiring and helps with my confidence to try projects I've never done!
hahahaha, literally my life! I am convinced I NAILED it, did exactly what she likes. Then she asks, " when are you going to stain it"? 9/10 it's because I wasn't listening. Oh man, this is amazing. I am so sorry, but I do have empathy level 10000 for you. All good man.
Dude, you are a stud. 99% of the people would have quit and left it at the fruitwood.. you saying that was the hardest doors you built and that's why you wanted to finish it right and strong is a lesson to all the quitters out there. Good job, man.
Amazing, I really liked the first stain, it look really cool but when the wife says something you gotta do what she says, or else you're sleeping in the couch lol
Man i feel u right now bradah from the wifeys comments to the comments here lol!. I love your builds regardless, sub'd and watching a marathon of your videos.
The cracks were there when you were using the planer and sanding before the first time you stained, so when you say they weren't there before when are you referring to?
Mate you did such a nice job with the doors, the fruitwood stain looked fantastic, showed off the hard work and timber grains, it's a shame your misses likes the look of mud instead of timber, I think they would have looked better white than the final colour, but each to their own.
I feel your pain, been there done that with the honey-do list. LOL. The door build was great and I too like the previous stain. Is what it is, build is solid. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more vids….
So you went from crocs to a tank top in only ONE video--nicely done. I do agree that the original stain looked better, but I agree--happy wife, happy life. Cool project.
Hey, the doors look great. And he knows that it doesn't matter what you, or I, or anyone else here thinks. When it comes to the inside of the home, It's what his wife thinks that matters. Super good call. End of story. Same way in my house. Nice job on those doors and kudos for your patience and fortitude. 🙂
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The doors looked beautiful before your spouse complained, however, you needed to make her happy. Honestly, you do a great job, I wish you were near me you would have lots of work to do which I would gladly pay for. Looking forward to the final reveal of the entire home. Stay Hydrated & Cool this summer... Abrazos
I loved the doors, but fruit stain was the best color and best color for those doors. But if wifey loves it, then it is a "win!" Beautiful work as always
Gorgeous doors! Amazing build glad you did the stain that fits your house style. I feel empowered for my 8' doors for my master bedroom. Please send me a link to this sliding hardware for massive doors. Thanks!
I am not a fan of barn doors but, that said, you did a beautiful job on these. I am so impressed with you knowledge and skill. Really enjoying your channel.
Definitely been there and stained something 3 friggin times hahaha either way doors came out killer! Just need to replace that yellow'd smoke alarm @17:04 :)
Lesson learned: Triple check with the wifey before pressing on. Oh third stain looks like dried mud. Fruit wood (second stain) was the ticket. Not sure how she likes the third. But I don’t have to look at it daily so there’s that. Awesome build though!!
I've been there before with the "stain remorse". I think I preferred the first iteration, but there is no substitute for 'happy wife happy life'. Impressive build.
Gorgeous Alex. I hate gel stain. I always show the customer a sample piece of wood before staining everything. It's crazy how different woods can take the same stain and look wildly different
That second stain was beautiful absolutely gorgeous. Your wife tries to make it seem like she’s always right but she’s not. I’ve been watching your video’s. Good luck with the rest of the house man. I appreciate all the manhours you’ve put in to make someone else happy.
Awesome job man!! Also I’m pretty sure that wood started shrinking because it isn’t fully dried from the stores anymore.. I helped my boss build a deck and we didn’t even put spacing between planks and now they’re all evenly spaced out by about a quarter inch! Nice job though those doors are sweet!
The differing variation in grain orientation is going to get sketchy from a wood movement perspective. Hi likelihood of warping or cracking as moisture levels change.
Man, I feel like the doors got ruined with that third round of staining. The first two iterations looked so much better.
The first stain looked much better, like way better.
the door is not in your house and if his wife likes the second stain just keep quiet and deal with it. when you make it in your house stain it however you want to.

The second stain looked like shit. Definitely should've stood your ground and kept the old color. Awesome build either way.
couldnt agree more, no color, no vibrance, nothing.
Gotta agree with you on this one.
I agree. Looks like you patted off your chalk erasers on the second color.
Do all you guys mean the third and final one at the end? Cause I agree that looks awful but I loved the second one.
Agreed, the final doors lost their charm. It looked a lot better imo as it was first hung.
Got to be honest man, the way the doors looked before you sanded them was so so so much better. You could see the grain of the wood. Now they look patchy with big cracks in them. 🤦🏻
He did not reapply the pre-stain after sanding off the fruitwood color. That is why the 3rd and final stain color looks patchy and blotchy.
Looks like the poly wasn't 100% removed
i actually really liked the stain that your wife didnt. it went really well with the white room and the final stain just looks dull. but not my house and probably one of those things where in person it looks completely different.
Bro, the doors were awesome with the fruit stain. Now they look like you tried to paint over them. Awesome build though.
Whenever my wife asks, “ how much do you love me?”. I say, “ not as much as you think”.
Lmao, exactly!
This is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
🤣🤣

“Looks good, when are you gonna stain it?” DEAD 😂😂😭
Good on you for making your wife happy but the first stain would have been my choice.
Yeah, wife's aren't always right. But gotta make them happy. lol
"In about 2 episodes, I'll be wearing a tanktop." 7 minutes later in a tank top.
What a build! Personal preferences on stains aside, this is incredible skill and so inspiring
As soon as I saw that last round of staining, I came running to the comments and you all did not disappoint
Same! lol

Awesome job man!! Also I’m pretty sure that wood started shrinking because it isn’t fully dried from the stores anymore.. I helped my boss build a deck and we didn’t even put spacing between planks and now they’re all evenly spaced out by about a quarter inch! Nice job though those doors are sweet!
The differing variation in grain orientation is going to get sketchy from a wood movement perspective. Hi likelihood of warping or cracking as moisture levels change.
I definitely liked the first one better, but happy wife, happy life! I really enjoy your channel!
All that glued together, what happens in a humid environment? BTW, I LOVE the first stain color when the doors were first hung
Beautiful craftsmanship. We all have different tastes when it come to stain. What matters is that YOU love it!!
I loved the natural coating from the fruit wood. All your effort to sand down, but taste is important when you diy your own house.
The good ol "how much do you love me" line. Doors look amazing!
Gets us all the time
glass inside the barn doors would let some light through but still looks awsome
Happy wife happy live i think 🤣
Great work Buddy keep iT up
Worth the change. Great looking project. You’ve got some serious hours into that project !
