I for the life of me can't understand why you don't have one million subscribers. As always, beautiful work from an absolute professional, full of tips and reasons why you do thing is a certain, smart way. I"m old so I do enjoy and Dad and "the mighty" jokes! I always enjoy your videos a lot, even though I am no woodworker in any way, I'm retired so maybe I enjoy watching OTHER people work. PS get some anti-splinter gloves, ouch!
I agree about the subscriber comment. Been watching Mike for years and he unsurpassed in creativity and craftsmanship!
Thank you for the kind words. Yeah, I wish my channel would do better, it has been slowly dying for the last few years. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, maybe I'll crack the code one of these days.
that's you tube for you novedays.. Same way they count views. And that's on all channels I am subscribed. few years ago all the sudden views dropped everywhere from few hundred views to like 10-20K views. Even on Mikes channel now, 224K subs and only 14K views. All gets manipulated, I bet to not pay more$$ to creators
Honestly I believe the reason is most likely Mike’s skillset is so far ahead of a DIYer and many pros that the projects seem unattainable. That rebuild on the planer was absolutely awesome. I have learned so much from these videos. I agree he deserves over a million subs.
@MikeFarrington youtube unfortunately punishes those who don't post on a very regular basis. Looks like you average about 1 per month. The people posting weekly get the most attention. But regardless... I literally watch every video so please never quit 😁
That lubricity shot of the stile just sliding down those rail tenons was totally lubricious. Keep em coming, my favorite woodworker on RUclips by far!
Thank you very much.
"I don't have the necessary equipment to run around with my hair on fire."
Same, my friend. Same. That gave me a good laugh.
Haha. Good to hear you liked it.
you know technically the saying is just "run around with my hair on fire". It doesn't specify where the hair is located, so unless there is some serous time being spent manscaping there is likely some hair somewhere that could be on fire. 😁
@@andrewr2650 "Nope. I'm out." -- every straight fireman who shows up
@@andrewr2650 Haha. Good point, I'm showing my bias.
Same here as well. My go-to statement: "If I had hair, I'd be pulling it out." Rock on.
This is just plane ol kick ass Woodworking content. Its got it all Vacuum bagging, shop sawn veneer, big M&T joinery. Door building is so cool they came out freaking beautiful. Now I wanna get in my shop and build us a new entry way door 😂
Thank you very much. Yup, door building is super fun.
It's great to see another video of yours! You are unbelievably talented. I've been woodworking for 50 years and I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for that!!!!
Thank you, that is a very kind compliment.
2:22 That many parallel clamps is impressive and are worth more than my last car 😂
Thank you. More than my car as well.
I ran across this video by accident, and I must say your teaching, the quality of the video, and craftsmanship are outstanding! Thank you for the time and effort you are investing in your videos.
Thank you.
An American with a sliding tablesaw, that actually builds stuff. how do you not have a ton more subscribers!
Thank you.
I found a guy that builds door the correct way! Way to go man!
Thank you.
Might be the best voice in woodworking. Golden pipes. Very calming! And the work is amazing, too.
Thank you very much.
Your level of craftsmanship never ceases to amaze and inspire me. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
@@MikeFarringtonbe honest, it’s really the apprentice doing the bulk of the work.
Ha! Every time I watch one of his videos, my first thought is, "my tools aren't calibrated accurately enough". So I run out to the shop with the square, and start checking everything and calibrating...
I came to the comments section to say exactly this. The attention to detail is extremely obvious in the results.
@@locke3141 Ha! You caught me.
Very cool! I worked in a custom door shop for 5 years, I never made my own core though! The front shop had a finger jointer and an rf gluer, they made all the pine block core. One thing we did for knotts on alder and cherry, we used coffee grounds mixed with a clear glue, I don't actually remember the glue now! But it really made a natural appearance to the knot
Cool tip. Thank you.
My absolute favorite style of door. Thank you Mr. Farrington for filming this process!!
You are very welcome
Mike, as you're an absolute wizard of tips and tricks, this one may come as no news to you...but just in case. A variation on your two step cut to help with tear-out on the grooves. Run the first shallow pass as a climb cut. Then run the cut to full depth in the conventional direction. This has gotten me out of trouble rebating some particularly poorly behaved wood. And the climb cut will be nothing but fun with your slick looking power feeder!
Yeah, I could have just climb cut the whole deal. I was trying to show an approach that would work with a router table.
The methodic pace with which you construct your project is stunning. Your work is beyond the woodworking stage, easily into the art form range. Your attention to detail - I am certain - is greatly appreciated by your customers. Doubtless you've heard this, but your voice is definitely "Golden Mike" quality (pun intended). If you need time off from woodworking, try doing some voice-overs
Thank you very much!
So amazing to watch someone else do something that I’d never ever want to do. Looks so painstakingly time consuming.
Yeah, it takes a lot of time for sure.
Large cvg boards can be difficult to find in most wood species, and if they are sorted as such, you will definitely be paying quite the premium for it. For something as important as a front door, it is worth it to spend the extra time and money to get the best material possible for it. When it is something that will always be seen by the owner and it is also the first thing greeting guests, you don't want any flaws, if at all, avoidable. I have installed a fair amount of solid oak doors, and one that size would likely be between 180lb and 200lb. They are only an issue if you don't install the hinges with structural screws well into the framing instead of just into the door frame. They are almost too heavy to carry on your thumb to hang them.
Around here, with the insane building boom, I just don't have access to what I would consider good lumber for an entry door. The larger shops order tons and get priority over my tiny operation. Yes, good hinges and screws are a must.
Amazing Door, even without it complete yet. Looks like a lot of work, but well worth it!!! Love the humorous bits. Truly, next level craftsmanship.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My wife ask me replace our entry door and your video is just in time - thank you Mike.
Thank you. Time to get working.
Whilst appreciating your raconteuring stye, your careful attention to detail and minutiae is icing on the cake.
Ha! Thank you very much.
The good ole stave core door. This is how doors use to be made and they would last forever. Great job as always. Awesome shop.
Thanks 👍
Stunning door! The client must be thrilled to have this on their home! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!
Thank you very much.
Craftsman Door Proper! Absolutely Stylish door that will never go out of style, Thanks for Sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I have door making on my wanna-do list for sure.
Tons of fun. Get to it.
The only problem I have with you Mike is that your videos are too far apart, like Christmas and Thanksgiving. However - just like my favorite holidays - your videos are well worth the wait. This video was no exception, it was a wonderful treat to share with my son. Thank you very much.
You have a shop full of beautiful machinery and you sure know how to use them. Unlike others you have a radial arm saw and you use your bandsaw for ripping. Good for you - you are a smart man.
Keep up the great work you are loved at my house.
Art & Joshua from Ohio
Thank you very much. I have considered growing my channel on several occasions. Each time I am somehow reminded that I am in no way in charge of my channel. So, I'll keep it small and enjoy making videos when I can.
Not just great woodworking , but a great teaching style too! Super nice work all the way around!!
Thank you very much.
I ordered my "More marking is better than less marking" T-shirt. Thanks so much for the entertainment.
Haha! love it.
Lubricity is my word of the day.
Ha! It's a good one.
Now I know what I’m doing on my house, outstanding work, as usual, thanks for the inspiration!
8600 ft above Boulder!
Cool. Sounds like you are in a beautiful area. I'm way out east.
"it would be a bummer to cut one of these wrong."
I feel you, I become forgetful when I'm tired, and the proper markings will save me. Second guessing my markings kills me. So I have to understand what I am doing, mark it, and move on.
Totally agree.
I second Robert's comment! I have not found many exterior door videos, now I can try one!
Thank you. Let me know how it goes.
Outstanding! Not many RUclips woodworkers can get away with appropriately using the word ‘lubricity’. Nicely done!!
Ha! Thank you.
Awesome video as always Mike!! I know you’re experimenting to improve your videos, but please don’t remove the humor! You keep it real for us “amateur woodworkers”. I never feel intimidated by your video content and it inspires me to work towards your level of expertise!
Thank you. I appreciate the input. I'm just trying to get a little more juice out of my videos.
5:47 your ace Ventura 2 nod has not gone unnoticed.
Haha! Love it. Thats one of those quotes, I been using it for so many years, I forget where it comes from sometimes.
Great video thank you! You have a great understanding of wood and its properties and how to build an excellent door. I only have one suggestion and that would be to prefinish the door panels before glue up so that when they shrink they won't expose unfinished wood. Prefinishing the panels also helps prevent the panel from being glued by fnnish into the dados.
Thank you. That is a good idea.
Love door projects like this. I only wish the video was longer. Great job, it looks fantastic
Thank you very much.
Watching the piece slide down into place was satisfying!
Thank you.
Wow! From my 60 in. TV, I'm pretty sure that your machines are wonderfully tuned. It would awesome to learn your tips of setting those tools.
Thank you. That is a neat idea, maybe a tool setup video.
Thanks for the instructions, been thinking about building my own Door for the front of the house
but it faces the East and gets lots of direct sunlight until around 1:00pm each day, I've got to yet research a good finish to stand up to our changing Temps ( Michigan , Lower part of the lower
peninsula) Thinking about White Oak. 38 year furniture builder.
White oak is a good place to start. Also, just plan to refinish the door every couple years. If the door gets lots of exposure, it will need the maintenance.
Wow that's a lot of work! I have made doors from solid oak and although heavy if the correct hinges and finish is used I have had no problems. Lovley finished product though.
Thank you.
I loved your video, I don't have the sophisticated machines you use, but the most interesting thing is the process and technique of achieving a light and excellently constructed piece, I hope to reach that level one day, greetings
Thank you very much!
Wow, what a treat. Looking forward to Part 2. So nice that the apprentice likes to pop in after school.
Thank you. I'll have it ready soon. Yeah, it's a treat to be there when he comes home.
thank you thank you thank you , im in the prosesess of building a huge door out of old palletts and i have the panells and mullyens stiles and rails all glued up now i know what i have to do to put it all togeather but i'll be doing it all by hand tools
Wow, all hand tools is impressive.
@@MikeFarrington i dont have the electric tools to do the job
the little shelf below the window having a slight downward slope (parallelogram) so that the water runs off was a nice touch, it pays to think ahead
Thank you.
I’ve been hoping to see a comprehensive craftsman door video for a long time. This one is superb! Thanks as always for continuing to share this content. Looking forward to part 2
Thank you. Stay tuned for the next one.
Your work is always on point and your pro tips are always appreciated but that piston fit come on how satisfying was that to watch I think I got goosebumps. Well done sir see you on the next one
Thank you very much.
Well done sir, turned out beautifully. You make it look easy.. always appreciate the tips tricks and explanations, it really does help a hobbyist like me. You belong on This Old House!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow! The algo served me a new, relevant, and above all awesome channel. That never happens!
Ha! They get it right once in a while.
Nice matching screen/storm door. Always a pleasure.
Thanks again!
Dunno how I missed this by 2 days but you have the mantle of best woodworker on the planet no question pedulla studios close 2nd 😂
Thank you, that is a very high compliment. I do know that I agree, Pedulla is very very good.
Good commentary along with your work progress. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely beautiful Mike. Thank you for this video. I strive to make items the same caliber
Thank you very much.
I'd be happy to someday have half your woodworking skill and a third of your dry humor. The dad jokes and craftsmanship never disappoint
Thank you very much.
Looking forward to watching this. My front door is junk, and new solid wood doors are crazy-expensive! $1,500+ from what I've seen. I assume it would be much cheaper to build my own, but I guess it depends on the type/cut of wood recommended for a solid door that won't warp.
Around here, I couldn't buy a solid wood entry door for 1500. I would have probably gone that way for that price. Around here more like 4-6k. This has been a fun project though.
Your shop and equipment are life goals. I'm so jealous
Thank you. I have been at this a long time. I couldn't afford to go buy my tools today, its taken 25 years of collecting.
Wow. That white oak is stunning.
Thank you.
You know Mike means business when the Mighty Biscuit fails to make an appearance on a job. 🤣
Ha! Good point.
Nice work. That heated blanket dial brought back some memories.
Haha, yeah that thing is like 20 years old.
Pipe clamps and the PC-100 router take me right back to my Dads shop .
Great to see the shop apprentice still thinks you're cool.
Good stuff. Yeah, I think I have a few more years of cool dad status.
Several comments on radial arm saws. I used one for years. Big thing to remember, they self feed - coming toward you and your fingers
Yup. Something to keep in mind for sure.
Love the commentary about tools. It was cool to see a mortiser sharpened
Thank you.
Thank you for showing us how you buit this door. The shop apprentice will soon be designing and building too.
Thank you. He is getting big for sure.
This is the first time I have had a suggestion for your content. Well worth the watch. You have a nice shop with lots of tools that have left me in aw. Great job on explaining why you did the different things. I didn't know that the core was a different wood in exterior doors. I'm subscribed
Thank you very much. The core can be the same lumber or different, maybe factors will determine that decision. In this case, it was to reduce weight, and cost, white oak is very expensive around here.
@MikeFarrington I am trying to put together a small shop in my garage to start doing some woodworking. I'm disabled and on a fixed income. Doing it one tool at a time, used or new. I want to build small stuff that goes along with my wife's air plant business. Someday, I would like to build us two different bedroom sets so we can hand them down someday to our 2 adult children. Maybe build some things for the grandchildren, too. Thank you for your great instruction
Stunning. Love your work. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
… Mike, you’re my hero - and the fact that I share your name; is about as close as I’m going to get to that skill level!!
Also, where’s the Bike these days???
Hmm. Good point, we need some more moto photos.
Beautiful man, a pleasure to watch! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that looks great. I'm making new interior doors for my house now, good to watch your video for tips and to realise I've made them strong enough to be exterior grade. :D
Thank you. Yeah, I build interior doors with biscuits, so if you are using M+T, you're good to go.
Beautiful work Mike, as always.
Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much!
I've been waiting for this one....LOVE IT MIKE! I was out in Denver area for vacation a few weeks back and was driving down 25 and thought of you....(not stocking...just saying)
Thank you very much. Next time stop by.
Thanks for the new content. I know it’s a lot to do.
Thank you.
Just incredible. Top 1 woodworking channel.
Thank you very much.
Nice to have you back with this project, Mike. I look forward to the second episode.
Thank you very much.
Well done sir. Beautiful to behold
Thank you kindly
Another excellent and informative project. Thanks Mike, can't wait for the next episodes.
Thank you very much.
Great work once again Mike, I graduated from pipe clamps to Bessey's many years ago but totally agree that they still have a place in the shop, especially when you get in the 8' range. I also like your clamp bench, maybe it could have a "shout out" in an upcoming video ?
Thank you. Yeah, I have bought nicer clamps over the years, but I keep plenty of pipe clamps just incase, especially for the longer projects.
You truly are a craftsman.
Thank you.
As far as combating tearout on the shaper, I'm sure the spindle on that Felder will spin in either direction, and that feature, along with the immense utility of the often underestimated feeder, makes it possible to climb cut safely, including heavy, hogging single passes.
Of course, tearout isn't a particularly pressing matter in a pedestrian operation like a blind groove. And I'm not sure how much adjustment is necessary to convert your shaper and feeder for climb cutting, though I expect it's a pretty trivial process on the F700. (Though my saw was a Felder, my shaper was not.)
But, where tearout is a primary concern, and especially when you've got hundreds or thousands of feet to process, foregoing that second pass while obtaining the same results as a multi-pass conventional cut restores to you an ample measure of precious time. Once I began to more fully exploit this capability on my shaper, I used it all the time, including on short runs.
Notably, in this episode you make reference to the same considerable advantages conferred by a feeder, though with regard to the bandsaw. I think you only have to see a bandsaw and feeder performing a resaw operation once to be convinced of its huge appeal. After that it's just a matter of watching the various classifieds for a cheap feeder lol.
Yeah, I have shown climb cutting in other videos. One down side is dust collection isn't as good.
1/4” Shim for your first pass??? Brilliant my man! brilliant thank you
1/2" shim, but same idea.
Tip: Use a vacuum cleaner to suck glue down into cracks.
Just place it on the underside of the crack in the wood and add glue on top.
That is a very good idea. Thank you.
Is that a DIY vacuum bagger? First time I saw one of your videos. Awesome content. I didn't get bored one time. Thank you Mike!
Thank you. That is a polyurethane bag. I don't remember who I bought it from, but its commercially available.
You have a very nice workshop, very spacious and clean, comfortable for creativity
Thank you. I am very fortunate to have my shop.
I've been wanting to make the front and back doors for my new house for months but I don't think my skill level is there yet. Custom prices have been anywhere from $2200-5000 per door (I need three) and after watching this video I can see why.
Thank you. Custom work is expensive, no question there.
Absolutely superb work and information in the narration! Also, love the Zelda shirt!
Thank you kindly!
Excellent work, Mike! The doors look awesome! Thank you for the detailed video.
Thank you.
Excellent work and content Mike. Thanks for putting these videos together.
My pleasure!
Your shop is a land of dream for me.
Thank you very much. Me too.
I use the timer on my phone, of which I can set multiple, and label for any glue ups and finishes.
That is a good idea as well. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing build. Such a joy to watch u work man. Great job.
Thank you.
Rad design, I’m a big fan of arts and crafts style
Me too. Its timeless.
Looks great! I envy your shop. Larger projects would be so much easier for me! 😅
Thank you. This has been a very nice shop to work in.
Amazing workshop and skills……..respect…….
Thank you! Cheers!
Really looking forward to seeing how you install the glass.
Thank you. I will cover that in the next one.
Amazing tools! Well done !
Glad you like them!
Looks amazing great job
Thank you! Cheers!
I would enjoy watching this man build a popsicle house. Great video as always my friend. Stunningly beautiful doors!
Thank you very much.
Nice work. All process thought through and worked with care and precision. Even threw in slick and thought out balled joke! I really want to attempt on of these. I don't have the your expanse of shop equipment, but feel I can make it happen. I've thought of joining a maker space shop for access to a few things for projects. Then cancel when I don't need it. Join again if I do until I get the space/funds for things.
The makers spaces can be really awesome. If you have one close to you, go that way.
More great informative craftsmanship from a top quality craftsman , keep the videos coming 👍 👌
Thank you.
"Homey Depot"! Hahaha! I love that video!
Glad you liked it!
magnificent door! Thanks for another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
