A DIY Weekend Project - Crawl Space Access Door

[@cgilleybsw]

I was skeptical at first that this would take almost an hour of video, but at 2:50 when he puts that stop in - priceless. Perfect for being more efficient and making multiple cuts.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

@@cgilleybsw Thank you for the comment and taking the time. Video did wind up being waaay too long, but was trying to give a bit of instruction on those viewing that might not be too comfortable with the basics of getting the most out of their tools. Hence the drilling hinges, clutch on the drill, the track saw, etc… Have learned since then to keep them between 15-20 minutes. Thanks again for watching.

Thanks for the video. Just what I needed to build a replacement crawl space door for the one that is rotted out at my house.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Thank you very much, glad it was helpful.

[@Psyk0dad]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Thank you. It encourages me to know that you appreciate the work that goes into making a video. Have a long way to go in my videographer career. Hope to get back to making more videos in the new year.

Wow I used the same decking screws and the same idea before I even watched at least I know I did it right thanks for sharing

[@jeffsaunders4785]

Great video. Very well explained and easy to listen to !!

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

@@jeffsaunders4785 Thank you very much for the kind comment. I hope to be getting better at this. Your comments encourage me to keep working at it.

I`m working on building an access door for our new home. Thank you for the video, it gave me some sense of direction of what i want to do now.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

The comments really really mean a lot, and let me know what kind of content folks like. I appreciate you.

[@mavericku812]

Thank you for this video. I learned a lot!

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Thank you very much. It is comments like this one that keep me going. Sometimes I feel as I am in a KZbin dessert and a comment like this is a cold drink of water. Thanks again.

[@JamesGodish]

Great job thanks for the info!

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Thank you so very much for your kind words. You are very welcome.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Well done 👍

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Thank you very very much!

[@TravisTerrell-t4e]

How you gonna put the hasp on wrong

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

@@TravisTerrell-t4e Had to bend the hasp slightly because it was a bit too long.

[@sandrafisher6322]

Thank you

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

You are welcome. Couldn’t have done it without my helper Mr. Jax.

[@whyishow]

Hi can I ask what gauge masonry screws you used?

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

@@whyishow They were the TapKon name brand and came with the masonry bit. I believe the were number 10, 3 inch

[@debbier5838]

In my experience the impact driver will help avoid stripped screw heads.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

10-4, it does help, but in the soft wood and small screws you have to be light on the trigger LOL. I also use the impact as well. I should have mentioned that in the video. Thanks for the comment, as it is much appreciated.

[@hungvu8480]

Drill a pivot hole first for easy drive in

[@hungvu8480]

Thank you for the video. I have 3 crawling space door need to make

[@richardleeclewell]

Why did you remove the concrete at the bottom! The wood will last longer if it sets on top. Off away from the ground contact.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

The concrete was brittle and crumbling. If you pay attention… I stated in the video that I would redo the concrete later. I did make a small form and did replace the concrete at the bottom!

[@jiggidyjam]

My buddy cut 2 of his fingers off with that exact miter saw😮

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Yep, most folks have no idea how dangerous a miter saw can be. It can pull the fingers into the blade just like a table saw.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Thanks for the comment and sorry to hear about your buddy

[@jimmysmif4573]

I could not locate the clip for the Kelly Clarkson show that you referred to.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5WwnIx4YqmGpbc

[@hungvu8480]

Please no oop when using the saw!

[@wellilltellyouwhatiknow]

Change your water filter

[@patleahan1947]

Should’ve centered your planks

[@classic_dude]

I appreciate your skill, but just a tip from an editing perspective, 15 minutes is way too much time to spend on one hinge. You would have a lot more views if you edit this whole thing down to 15 minutes total. Great job on the door.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Very much appreciate the tip. I really really suck at shooting and editing, and will do my best to shorten in the future. YT recommends around 20 minutes. Not sure if I should keep going or not. Thanks again.

[@classic_dude]

@@productiontrimcarpenter I learned a lot from your video and will be building a door this weekend using some of what you shared.

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

@@classic_dude very glad to hear that is was able to help. Thanks again. Dan

[@devillerider]

Video way too long

[@devillerider]

And I didn't see the door open and close😮

[@productiontrimcarpenter]

Both good points Devillerider. Still new at shooting videos (no excuses), and hope to get better. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
