As a Brit, I'm always in awe of how young American dudes always just seem to have the money and space for their own workshop with tons of power tools like table saws and I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to do the same jobs with my tiny cupboard of manual hand tools 😄

Beautiful informative video. Home Depot wants $20 for a generic 3' long transition strip you can custom make yourself. Generic wont be ideal for your own application which requires modification cuts for that perfect fit. Thanks Kraftmade for an excellent video. Keep-up the great work !!

great that you recognized that a chamfer edge would helped eliminate a tripper but Why would you not just undercut the door stop instead of notching the threshold. IMO would have been a much cleaner installation. But very good illustration in its own right.

Much better option compare to cardboard or laminate transition moldings that some stores offer that can cost between $25-35 per piece. They are standard in size and can easily break.

I am surprised with all of your skills, you did not cut the door frame and you did not shape the edges. A portable router does this job with amazing results. Great job either way. I will be making several of these for 2 custom reno jobs.

I saw you bend the tape to measure the threshold and remembered the old days (1 month ago) when I didn't know to use the body of it to get an accurate reading. Thanks to SEEJANEDRILL, here on KZbin, I learned that measuring tapes have the exact size of the length of the body printed on them (usually bottom back), so one can include it when taking inside measurements -such as this one or inside windows, etc. Just make sure the slide-thingy on the end is not extended, because it's 1/16th of an inch, which you need when making outside measurements (as when you use it to hold on to an edge and pull on it. Why can't I just say "nice vid, thanks!"? Ugh, I'm such a mom!

You could chamfer the edges a few ways. You would use your table saw on a 45 degree angle or use your router with a chamfer bit

Nice job... I wonder when you notched the saddle to fit with the jig saw, why you did not follow the angle of the stop? The saddle has a 90 degree square notch cut against an angled stop creating a gap.

When installing a floating floor, do you glue and then nail the reducer molding, or should glue be enough? I have a 1/4" expansion gap all the way around.

Personally I would just nail the molding to the wall. Glue is overkill.

You know, even after you had notched out the bottom, you still could have chamfered the top edges; just turn it upside down. What you have now is a serious trip hazard.
