    This book is a great source of inspiration for anyone who wants to build high-quality tiny homes. Instead of settling for ordinary materials and designs, you can learn how to create structures that are durable and aesthetically pleasing. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxLum--iPp9YKZ09j1BMdHaBMLkrGfIbcm The book does not provide detailed engineering drawings, but it offers plenty of photos that illustrate the concepts and designs. The book assumes that you have some basic building skills, but it also provides a range of ideas that can suit different preferences and needs. I found this book very useful and informative, and I appreciate it greatly. Thank you for providing such a valuable content in these Shed Plans. It is remarkable! For long-term service, it seems like it is worth investing a bit more money. Ryan, you are very generous to share such extensive information with us at a very affordable price.

    Hopefully your cornea rather than your retina. The retina is at the back of the eye :). Great episode, good to see the time consuming/fiddly steps involved with renovations!

      I've done both in both eyes. You don't even feel your retina detaching. Red hot metal embedding in your cornea is not pleasant - it cauterizes its way into the surface. Yes, I was wearing safety specs for that one.

    Even if it was not cost effective to make your own door, every time you open it you will get the reward of thinking of the process and the pride in making your own piece. Lovely work. Jealous of the blueberry tasting, that sounds delicious. We have strawberry tastings here.

      Not cost effective? Have you ever seen the price of an exterior double door 8' x 6'....$6000 plus and that's for a cheap one. I built mine for approximately $1000. It's absolutely gorgeous! This is minus hinges and door set. That I'm not able to build!

    You know, something that isn't really talked about, but I think is a major shift in society is RUclips as a source of education. I fix my own white-goods, I just installed a tow bar on my car, I do my own home repairs and renovations, I'm installing cheap Lithium batteries in my home at a fraction of the cost of Tesla power walls. I'm renovating two cars and three boats, upcycling a solid oak sideboard/buffet that I found in a goodwill store for $40, rebuilding my pool shed, building a new fence around my (corner block) property (doing red ironbark posts with horizontal dark grey corrugated aluminium sheets in between 👍), building all the cabinets for and renovating my kitchen and laundry and so much more. I'm a computer programmer and I would have no idea how to do any of those things without RUclips channels like this one.

    I can honestly say in the 26 years of being a carpenter I can count on one hand how many custom door and jams I have built. They are a creative challenge a pain in the ass and they always take far more time then you estimated that being said I love doing them. They give you a warm fuzzy every time you look at them .

  • @rz3877
    @rz3877 Год назад +7

    Hey Scott! Dutch door(frame) maker here. Your french doors are looking nice! Here are some tips for next time if you want to make it again; you don't need to make fancy bridle joints you can just join the frame together if you just cope them and use some decent PU glue and screws. But the one thing you need to do if you dont make bridle joints is that the stiles are inbetween the sill and the top because of the way the load is being transferred to the bottom (otherwise you just rely on some screws and glue). Also I wouldn't recommend using biscuits again to line and glue your sill together. They are made from beech wood which is the worst to use outside ( if they get severely wet they will expand a fair bit and they rot quite easily).
    Btw is Ray also a dutchie? I worked in NZ as well doing my WHV and worked for a joinery that build supermarket stuff and when I was there (8 years ago) did the New World supermarket in Motueka! Good memories.
    Cheers René

    I went the on-site custom fab route once for 3 double 6 foot by 8 foot french door jambs for a country house with an old fashioned breezeway design. I re-sawed and machined them from a big pile of Douglas fir and Western Red cedar logs salvaged from old hydro transmission towers being replaced with new metal towers - Hung beautiful salvage 2 inch 36x96 fir doors on them with ancient salvaged hardware. They weighed in at over 300 pounds each and are breath taking.

    Hinges on the outside are a non starter up here where we get snow. Aside from the security concerns, they just don't last. .. great job on the doors, though.

    • @Hubris2
      @Hubris2 Год назад

      Was thinking that as well. There are hinges which don't have a removable pin so are less of a security risk if they are installed externally - that might be what Scott was meaning when he said they would work but weren't the ideal/finished product.

    In my opinion you should leave the bars on the doors as they would fit nicely with the windows. You can have “fake” bars by just glueing or siliconing the existing wood (trimmed down in thickness of course) bars to the glass. This would give the double glazing but preserve the look!

    • @135Ops

    • @beaunorman9863
      @beaunorman9863 Год назад

      Fake bars look bad on double glazing unless there is a bar inside the double glazed units as well. Otherwise when you get close you can see the gap between the inside and outside bars and see the glue used to fix

    After leaving School back in the never never I completed an apprenticeship in Engineering. My shed is full of metal working tools, a good size Lathe,milling machine and a number of welders to join several types on metals together. But your youtube channel has shown me the wonders of working with wood. I am converted to working with timber. Our 105 years old house has been upgraded to concrete piles, new wiring and rejibed. With your help and Jess's I have carried on where the previous owner had got too. I am fitting a new bathroom going well up to date. I have learnt that the difficult stuff that should not be mixed in POWER and WATER. Thanks Scotty and Jess love your work.

  • @BindingOfDoh
    @BindingOfDoh Год назад

    I'm all for recycling materials like this! The "Stored Energy" that it took to grow the tree, process the timber, deliver it, make the door, deliver and install the door, pull out the door from it's original house, and deliver it to you is a lot.
    To throw that in the bin is kind of disrespectful to the planet and everyone involved in that process to date.
    Good job

    It’s interesting to hear your story about the epoxy injuring your eye!
    Years ago I started working at a lumber yard at 18 and didn’t know a thing. Those plastic bands that wrap the dimensional lumber and keep them intact during shipping had lacerated my eye. It wasn’t from cutting the banding.. it was from wrapping it into tight bundles to toss in the trash. As I had let go of one bundle as I threw it away, it unraveled and cut my eye twice before I could even blink. No permanent damage, just hurt pride at the time lol.

    100% correct in saying that it's not the most efficient way to whack in a set of French doors...by creating the set yourself...but nothing quite like the feeling when the result turns out like yours has...the cost for it would just be astronomical and very unlikely anyone would pay it...but the result...especially on your own place is well worth the investment in time and effort...great job as always...and once those doors are painted up...those extensions will be invisible.

    Hi Scott and Jess. Love your videos and watching your house progress.I notice you are very keen on priming and back priming. I have spent most of my life as a painter and totally applaud this process. I have found doing my career that acrylic (water based) systems will allow moisture in. The theory is that it also will travel back out. I have see so much failure with with water based systems that I have been a strong advocate for using oil based primer or undercoat to ensure the timber will survive for future generations. It is not as convenient but it will provide the protection you are looking for. All purpose undercoat is my go to product since it dries quicker than primer and works well on both hard and soft woods. Have a great Christmas and keep up your wonderful standard of work and great videos.
