From the guy who fell through his ceiling to the guy who makes his own custom bi-fold you have come a long way. Well done.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

For real! Lol thanks for watching

[@albertorozco5981]

Jaime is an awesome boss and friend. Its great that he is always available to offer help or advice to Jay or anyone concerning construction.

[@ianstrying76]

Steph’s so cute. Good work brother that’s the reaction you wanted.

[@ramellesmith1520]

Great job Jay! Jaime’s a super boss and friend. You had the right instinct to keep that beautiful maple natural, good on Nanna for knowing as well. Steph’s reaction to your surprise - priceless!

[@albertorozco5981]

Jay takes so much pride in his work and it shows with all the improvements on his home.

[@thomastimothy777]

Because Steph knows how to reward him 🍆💦

[@Building_Jays_Way]

That’s nice to hear! Thanks for watching

[@RalfErnstBoos]

Never saw a bi-fold door like this and I like the barndoor style you used - more of that

[@wildwheelsdarin]

Your craftmanship (and confidence) is improving with every project! Jamie is an awesome employer and friend for letting you use his woodworking tools like that.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yeah, I couldn’t do it without him!

[@josephrussoniello1623]

Jay the doors came out great. It’s always nice to have a great boss to help you out with supplies and the use of his tools. James is great!! Can’t wait for the next project.

[@Andresmust]

It is nice to see a person who has enough self-criticism and who is not ashamed to admit that he can be wrong. Your videos are truly inspiring.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks!!

Jay great job on the door. Made the wife happy, and that is always helpful. you’ve come a long way over the years, since falling through the ceiling! Also, bout time you did a video on your workout routine.

Great project, Jay. Stefanie's reaction was worth all the work. The house is looking awesome.

Thanks 👍

[@jamiespears1075]

Awesome job Jay. I like how you critique your own work its so honest. You certainly take pride in the work that you do. Having a friend like Jaime with his knowledge to help with different things must feel great. Your videos are great, keep them coming.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I appreciate that!

A KZbin short about the garden would be cool. Thanks for another great video Jay, always makes my week complete.

[@johnchipman5208]

Very nice job Jay, you are becoming quite the carpenter.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Almost lol.

[@ScottGunMag69]

Door looks great! Nice work!

[@seekersofrhythm]

Great work. I like the design very much. My thoughts are on the way you fitted it showing the bracing, I would prefer to see the panels to the front but thats my opinion and your wife loves it and it does show the structure which is so well built. Looking forward to the next installment. Stay safe J.

[@BryansThailand]

Another awesome project Jay well done buddy. Have you ever thought of doing a members channel as the perkins bros do. I would happy to support you same I do with the perkins bros. Keep up the great work it was great to see Steph's face on the outcome 👌😊 all the best from Thailand 🇹🇭 🇬🇧

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Ever really thought of it. Maybe one day?

[@jmac8746]

Jay, awesome video, great job! I got to say you work with the best supporting cast starting with Jamie.

[@mdehlavi]

Looks great, nice work! Put a second knob on the other side as well. Same pulling power and makes it look symmetric. 👌

[@gregsidel3557]

J done very good. The most important thing is. You're mad your wife really happy. Good job.

[@kathyscott]

Jay, love the doors! You did a great job and I knew Stephanie would love them. Thank you for keeping them natural😊. Only one comment and hubby said it and I agreed, you need to put a second knob on the other door so it looks symmetrical. She could use either knob to pull, but it looks unbalanced with only one knob. Again GREAT JOB!!!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I think I will do that. A lot of comments telling me that. Thanks.

[@amazon4716]

Dude is a real wood worker now Looks amazing 👏

[@amazon4716]

* perhaps add a second knob on the other side to match.

Jaime has great advice that he readily offers. Sure has helped me out alot. You would be surprised how much we " dont " know 😂😂😂 thanks Jamie.

[@teresakovach4144]

Great job, Jay! Lucky you have Jaime and his equipment to get you going! I have a friend that's planning to make barn doors for his garage, hopefully he can get a few tips from your video! Love watching all of your videos! thanks!

[@jv17251]

The wood prep was great. This is how I should have gone after. You leave the panel a little wider a little longer. GLUE The panel, straightline on jointer or with a plunge saw. Then cut it to length. You may need a piece of metal 3/16 x 1 1/4 so your panel doesn't cup, that face on one side may not be enough to keep it straight. You cut a notch on the face piece to hide the metal. Glue the face on, use 2 nails to keep it from moving and clamp the pieces.

[@floopflarp]

I love these videos. It's so fun seeing your humor in the Perkins Builder Brother videos but I love watching your smaller projects. So many woodworking videos these days are the ideal woodshop furniture builders but sometimes I don't need the perfect piece of furniture milled from lumber I harvested from my backyard, I need to see how to make it look great from a carpenter that knows how to do it super efficiently with what they know, bonus points for Jaime providing sone tools you dont have though. This project looks awesome and I'd love to have that in my home, and since I'm redoing our closet doors and flooring I learned some things from this.

[@robinharrison3907]

Great Work 👍👍Love watching people working with wood 👍👍Fantastic end product ❤️❤️

[@bfuisting]

Great looking door! Jamie has got some nice wood! I'd go with a bigger knob but as you said that is an easy change later!

[@garymcdonnell]

Great looking door Jay! You're becoming quite a craftsman. And you've created a solid shop as well.

@@Building_Jays_Waywe’ve got a new to us house and the previous owner left all their rough sawn pine. You do a good job of highlighting the work it takes (even though you don’t know until you do it!). So glad I saw you featured on the Perkin’s brother channel. I wanna support the small guy. Perkins has enough 😂🎉

Just wanted to say, my family and I love your videos. Very entertaining. We had pointed something out on Perkins Brothers last video,about the Mega house that they haven’t noticed. At 22.14 minutes in Jaime looks like “Little Debbie”. All he needs is some curls. LOL. Check it out. Too funny. Been watching you all for a long time. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😃😃😃😃😃

[@AlAmantea]

Nice job, Jay! The only things different I would have done would be to make the door bigger, as you suggested, and the pull placement. Sitting where it is now, when the door is open, it's a catch hazard. Had the pull been placed on the fixed panel, it would be behind the door when it's open and completely out of the path of movement. I love the clear finish, that was an excellent choice on Nana's part. The look on Steph's face says it all, dude. I'm certain that will pay off big for the relationship! I have done quite a few barn doors, but had no idea the hardware kits were available in a bifold version. Thanks for the video, because this opens a whole lot of options for my clients now!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Awesome! Thanks for the pro tips

[@tkn1715]

Wow, looks and functions great. I've got a doorway just like this, no room for sliding, a new project begins. Thanks so much for showing the building pains. Gives the rest of us a reason to try even if we are'nt perfect in the process.

[@Twztedmatt]

As a cabinet maker in Australia i do a fair bit of Bi-Fold doors. We normally place 2 handle knobs on the internal edges same distance you did. Center from height and 50mm in from edge. But with the 2nd handle even though its not required visually i think it plays much nicer.. But either way really like the look and it is awesome bud!

[@dennisbrown3717]

[@ethanhorton323]

Killer video Jason!

[@DR52783]

Nice job! My OCD would agree with Jamie about the placement of the door handle- I am actually driving my husband crazy right now designing a kitchen remodel- everything has to be even and centered. For me I personally would add another knob a few inches to the left just for looks. BTW- love your videos!

[@rossmatheson4303]

I had the same thought about the handle. Even if it's not used, I think the symmetry of one on the left-hand side would be excellent. What a great project, though. An excellent upgrade on the original doors.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I’m getting that a lot about the two knobs? I will ask Jeff what she thinks and do what she wants! Thanks for watching.

[@DaCheat100]

I'm no builder or anything but I wonder if putting the knob in the same position on the other door might have been a better choice, that way when it opens the knob is facing outwards and won't catch on your clothes or whatever. Look, either way, what an amazing job Jay! Totally the right choice on the clear coat, that's some beautiful timber right there, be a shame to try and cover it with a stain. Looks amazing. Kudos from Melbourne Australia.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Someone else had said that same thing. Never thought about the knobs sticking into the opening? I guess it would make sense to put on the other door. Just don’t know if you would get the same pull effect on the other door. Thanks for the pro tips and thanks for watching.
