495. HOMEMADE pocket door kit for my NARROWBOAT

- I’m trying to save money and space by making my own pocket door kits for the boat. I need three of them so if I can do it right then it’ll save me much needed space in the bathroom and midships cabin

Lubricate the rails using graphite powder perhaps.
I don’t know, just a thought.
All the best ❤
We have 3 pocket doors in our boat and you definitely want door rollers either side of the door so that the force when pushed is evenly distributed. They will rock otherwise.
Maintenance is key along with adjustments so keep that in mind James
Great vid

I can't believe how much things are changing now on a daily basis... and looking so good. Leigh
James, have considered maintenance of the rollers? If I understand your design, you would have dismantle the whole bulkhead to access them.
I hope that bulkhead isn’t too close to that window. There’s not much space for the facing ply there.
I really do admire your ingenuity though. Two bogies has to be the way to go otherwise how will you stop the door dropping?
Nice work, though, James.
There was a gap of 9mm to allow the bulkhead timber - all shown on the next video titled “first bulkhead” - it’s edge of the seat stuff 😂
Now I’m off to bend some beech ply to see if that works for the galley
Enjoy your day
Thanks
James
A bit of silicon grease or some grease PTFE based would be good to help the slider, may cut the noise down slightly too 🙂
Having fitted such a door think I would advise two "bogies" at each end of the door top to prevent the door swinging around and thus binding against the floor.
Brilliant idea for the door kit James 👍
Great work James nice to see things happening! Can’t wait to see how it progresses. Have great week 😊
Who did the "RAMS" for this ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well done mate you see an inspiration to anyone who is thinking about buying a narrow boat . good information as regards to what is needed when remodeling a boat.
You have no idea of how much people admire your total commitment to the task of fitting out what was basically a total mess . Any other person would have taken the work on .
I was going to ask or maybe I did, if you had applied that protectant to the previous installed panels off air?
Well, this answers that question, better late than never. ;-)
I wonder if the welding heat has damaged the paint on the outside of the roof?
👍
Have you looked into unistrut and the trolleys that can go into them.
💜💙💚
Are you going to anchor the bottom of the door with anything? Window? Vents?
Good old sweary Dan ! Your a very lucky man mr James !!
Master class in Health & Safety. Love it!
Amazing!!! Maybe add some grease or some sort of lube to make the wheels less noisy? Or is that something that is stupid to do 😂 id so im sorry... But enjoying the vids :) been a subscriber since day one of your channel.
Make sure the rollers can’t lift
Can you not put some of that rubber weather stripping on the inside of the din rail to dampen the sound ? Looking faward to seeing what batteries you got.. keep up the great vids mate
Will the track with the prop holding it up not foul on the window when open
Boats looking greater every day ....
You mentioned about rollers making noise as they go through their channel ...
For pocket door ...I'm curious ,is base of door supported ...if not what's stopping them from clanging about ??
Handy to have a great mate, like sweary Dan around ...cheap as chips, for a case of beer, ..great job,...👍👍
Great Dan gave you a helping hand hope the door works out well done tc the oldies 👍🤗
Use a couple of clinch studs in the centre of the rail bolted through the timber to prevent the rail flexing along its length. As clinch studs have no head they will not impede the rollers' movement.
@@IDKline They couldn't be simpler. Drill a hole to suit the size of the stud, push the clinch stud through the hole, tighten the stud with a flat washer and nut to get the stud to grip into the metal (in this case the din rail), remove the nut and washer and the stud will now be fixed in place almost flush with the material. Perfect for his centre fixing to allow the rollers to clear. His studs will need to be long enough to reach through the timber and he may prefer to use a couple of them along each rail's length to completely guarantee nothing will flex, but this solution will mean he won't need to adapt his hanging cradle to accommodate a through fixing in the centre.
I’m going to check out my local “has everything” shop and will report back
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt I get mine from Kayfast Ltd., one of the best and fastest online fixing companies to deal with, although I appreciate getting stuff delivered directly to you might be an issue.
We just need a bit more of flat bar for the rest mate
Subbed! Great work!
good vid thanks lee
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
Did you know?
DIN stands for -
“Deutsche Institut fur Normung”,
(Sort of translates to - German Institute for Standards or standardisation...or something like that 😬)
Knowing is growing 🙂
🙂🐿🌈❤️
I don't know what you mean. Sweary Dan always comes across as a consummate gentleman of perfect manners.
Happy days.
Thank you xx
