Awww man, the black bag in the planer was hilarious. 😂

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

😂😂 was a stupid mistake

[@dougieranger]

@@ttdowgcarpentry2390It was funny af. I’ve had a miserable week and you made me laugh.

[@JULIANPARCELL]

Great job on the doors. Just a little tip, I always plane the leading edge ‘under’ a couple of millimetres. Just helps the door close on the brush seals.

[@potatusha793]

You've got some balls mate, got there in the end but that was painfull.. Whenever I get a new tool, or have to fit a lock or something I've never done before, I always do my research, practice and do a test run on a scrap door.. Did you figure out the confusion with the router yet? I think it only has a 50mm plunge and the bit was too long to sit flush with the base and plunge with.. What you did works but im uneasy about starting the router in a hole like that, it could kick and possibly split some doors. I'd probably use a shorter bit and do it in two passes, route out the max 50mm with the shorter bit then switch to the longer router bit to finish it off. Also, good on you for not editing out the mistakes.

[@karlfoster8654]

great job, at least the smoke seal was in the frame 👌

[@Chippie_Brandon]

I remember one of the jobs I was on I saw an apprentice borrow the Foreman's planer through a string line haha took hours to fix. That black bag reminds me of that.

[@drewinstallshardware]

Nice video. For both those doors if I was changing them out I would make them swing towards the wall. Makes better use of space. Thanks for sharing!

[@nascorob]

Ye good idea though the light switch may be covered when door is open which is not a deal breaker which might be deemed to be unintuitive ✨💚🙏

[@SimonBrooke-ei3dt]

Nice work mate, great vids, also good to see you are getting some decent gear to make the job easier, let the chisels gather dust 😂

[@ronnierobinson1502]

Love the trend gear........ive also done that black bag trick with same outcome hahah

Fire door and timber wedges behind the frame 😮

[@justinbrown471]

I like your videos, thanks for doing them. I'm looking to get into carpentry, I'm not sure if those fire doors are up to standards, the linear gap needs filling. But, I'm no expert.

[@peterchristou9118]

Great video as always

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

Thankyouu

[@noskills9577]

Have a word with trend - fancy not giving you the cordless router. Also I’ve been caught out with no dust bag before. If the plane has a round outlet sometimes you can use a bit of waste pipe on it then the black bag - gets you out of trouble 😂

[@ImranKhan-dr8bb]

Great video yet again, thanks for showing us the mistakes and mentioning the corrections and fixes. Just a request with your videos, when you mention you have done something in a previous video add that link that shows up in the top corner (in this case I know it was from the last upload - i watched it :) ) and at the end add a link to another video of yours. I think you have enough of a back catalogue now, and it will help others see more of your videos.

[@doctorlove2022]

trend trend trend !!!!!!! you forgot to mention trend

[@jimbow2310]

Used that jig many years ago, found it easier to machine before door goes on. How long did each door take?

[@zephyr1408]

Using a corded trim router 4 your doors is smart! Consistent power for a bunch of doors where it matters !

[@alextheman422]

Absolutely no power issues with a cordless router!! Sds yeah planer yeah /circ saw yeah router NO

[@zephyr1408]

@@alextheman422 to each his own ? Its how I make my living hanging a 5 amp plus battery off a small trim router is odd ? I know I run them all the time. As opposed to using a light corded router hooked right next to your work area like here ? I carry both in my van! In this case I will every time plug it in and leave the battery switch out (3amp hour is what I run sometimes 5& within an hour or 90 minutes I need to switch out batteries ) . So I know what I am talking bout. It’s my bread & butter!

[@truth3358]

Great video Great detail Keep up the good work 👍

[@charleyryans]

👌👌👌

[@georgelfc1]

I think the instructions say you should take the door off and cut out the lock

[@JoeDexter-gg5fd]

Good video , need intumescent pads behind lock and door keep too tho

[@joshy3602]

Looks like Sparkhill!

[@aaronw717]

Can you do a video on how to set up the trend router for doing hinges ?

[@frankmckie2992]

I enjoy your videos and your straight forward approach..... keep them coming, if your camera is working lol👍

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

I will try I may need to get a new camera though 😅

[@jabtothehead9942]

Why did you replace one jamb instead of putting in a fresh lining? it's not going to match up nice with the head...

Is that £150 a door supply and fit or just fit?

Ok we get it, your sponsored by trend

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

nope but they did give me the tools 😅

[@andyfisher1906]

At around 4.19 i can see your apprentice adjusting the door height to fit the frame, i was under the assumption this is not permitted when installing fire doors, only 6mm can be taken off from the bottom?

[@Seanjames570]

How do you fit a door with out trimming it to size?

[@andyfisher1906]

@@Seanjames570 fitting a fire door you have to comply with what its been tested to, so the alternative is to buy a certified cut and re-sized certified blank and not an 'off the shelf' std size if the opening is not standard

[@ZAL70]

@@andyfisher1906 100% right not allowed to cut the top off fire doors label on the top tells you this, label has to remain in place for inspection. only have to fit pad behind one side of the hinge as well either door or frame. Tough job and inspectors can be a nightmare

[@andyfisher1906]

@@ZAL70 cant touch the top as you say because of the label, but only the bottom can be trimmed by 6mm on these jeld wen doors (from howdens), it vary's depending on the manufacturer and how its tested, its a mind field!!! its why they are so cheap to buy off the shelf, purchasing a purpose made blank lipped 4 edges is about 3 times the price and thats why people do it

A joiner that doesn’t hang doors is like watching jaws without the shark 🙈

[@clementing66]

Doors are tricky, I am just so slow doing it, so don’t do it much anymore. I am not a carpenter and don’t have all the jig. Using the router horizontally is a bit crazy in my opinion. Better of removing door from hinges, especially if you have a nice stand.

[@samvid4930]

How can i be an apprentice?

The black bag on the planer and trying to plunge the router into the door 🙈 what were you thinking? Total amateur 😩🙈

[@ThePhilvantwo]

Labels on the leading edge when the doors finished? You're obviously not putting any lead on the doors.

What thee good Lord is your apprentice wearing? Is that his mums coat ! Your gonna hv to stop this right now ! Your scaring your viewers and customers ? Kidding he is young and happy leave him alone ! Not to mention the young man has a huge heart !

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

😂😂 true true he is a good kid but I do need to get him some better work clothes

[@Christian-y9z]

Please please please stop doing fire doors It’s not you fault but your not fully up on current legislation.. You cut off more than is recommended off the bottom of that first door which states by the manufacturer also when you took out the leg of the frame there was no fire foam or intumescent packers which means probably non behind the whole thing and also the other doors too on the job Legislation now says all frames have to be fire foamed in and intumescent packers used or intumescent mastic I’m only tell you this as I’m a uk fire door registered inspector and installers

[@Dale-11]

No leading edge on fire doors poor.
