Phenomenal work obviously but the cabinet installer for 27 years. It’s great to see all the great tools being done professionally dealing with wood movement beautiful job.
I build custom door in FL and I have to say, I think you did a really great job on that door (but I really don’t think you needed me to tell you that 😂)
No, I haven’t. I’m not familiar with contact adhesives exterior uses. The few times I’ve done interior veneer work I’ve used urea resin formaldehyde, otherwise I’ve always used epoxy with great success, so I stick with it.
Great video. How much do you undersize the glass by? Just built my first door, for myself, went with 3/16 undersize L & W. A little worried that was too much, although think the silicone and space balls should still keep it from noticably shifting.
The sizing of the glass really depends on the size of the tongue of your cutter. In my case it was 5/8”, so I typically go 1/4” undersized, sometimes slightly more depending out how it works out, I shoot for a 1/4” undersized, but will go to 3/8,” because I have 5/8 on each side, so a total of 1 1/4” to play with. The space balls I use are the 1/4” ones I usually have to cut them in half. One thing to keep in mind is the cutting allowance, some times the glass could be 1/8” more than you specified and tempered glass can’t be cut, so 3/16” undersized won’t be too much… in my opinion. Thanks for watching and the comment. Best of luck.
I have limited experience using polyurethane glue, I don’t like how it foams, so I usually use epoxy. I’ve had great experiences with epoxy, so I stick with it.
I've never really liked Polyurethane much. I've used plastic resin and of course epoxy. I was using Dap plastic resin, but now they took it off the market unfortunately.
The flooring pieces in the vacuum bag are a great idea. Thanks for the tip and the videos.
Great job man. Love the explanations. Appreciate the new videos recently. Beautiful door.

Thank you for the kind words!
We use the same freeborn tooling. Also the domino and the space balls. Only a few of us know how much work is involved here. Cheers from Montana
Hey Stu, yeah it’s time consuming and expensive. Freeborn cutters are real nice, but they too are quite expensive.
Beautiful work, I was really hoping to see what the inside of the door looks like too.
Thanks. The inside of the door and the outside look the same.

Joshua, thank you. I appreciate all compliments.
Beautiful keep sharing ❤️
Have you ever used contact cement for the veneer layer? if not, why not?
No, I haven’t. I’m not familiar with contact adhesives exterior uses. The few times I’ve done interior veneer work I’ve used urea resin formaldehyde, otherwise I’ve always used epoxy with great success, so I stick with it.

@@Capefearwoodwrights Yes I will agree about the glass size, I ran into some minor trouble once when the glass came oversize. A bit of a surprise.
Thoughts on polyurethane glue vs epoxy for exterior applications?
I have limited experience using polyurethane glue, I don’t like how it foams, so I usually use epoxy. I’ve had great experiences with epoxy, so I stick with it.

@@Capefearwoodwrights is it a special type of epoxy?
I used West systems epoxy
