Building GIANT Doors!

The biggest doors Ive ever built! 16' tall and almost 10' wide and we built them in just a day and a half. These were built to divide part of my friends art studio from their work space. Check out Serena and Aric's business here:

Great build! my knees hurt watching both of you kneel on the concrete like that

[@jayyambrovich3740]

Great job in engineering the hinges and including a grease fitting!! I have been replacing some rusted / seized hinges on outdoor gates recently and have been doing something very similar, on a much smaller scale. Drilling and tapping the top for a grease fitting was an idea I had that has worked brilliantly on two repair jobs so far. Keep up the great work and the very instructional videos

[@TheArtofCraftsmanship]

Awesome work brother. Those are serious doors. It’s impressive that the simple x pattern works at that scale. 👍🏼

[@johnghatti5435]

Simple designs would probably work better for just about everything. We tend to over complicate everything with fancy designs. That’s great if doesn’t have to be functional.

[@MaybeDave]

Congrats on an incredible build! So fun when the skills you've acquired transfer over to something out of the ordinary.

[@Ezzell_]

Awesome job....love the ball joints

[@billkamps9360]

Those doors are BA! Thanks for taking us along. Good to know a 110 welder is capable of that type of result. Love it.

[@diggy-d8w]

It's fun watching things like this come together as it's much more than your average doors. I can't do all this metalwork so it's great seeing people who know how, along w/ their tricks of the trade. peace

[@jeremyspecce]

Nice work, working within the confines and inaccuracies of a space really are what makes on-site work such a challenge when compared to a standalone piece.

[@hornetboy3694]

Amazing work awesome video thank you sir

[@mouradabdi2207]

Bravo 11/10 c'est un vrai régal de vous suivre, le process et les explications très utiles. Merci.

[@tonybilco1317]

Great video thank you ❤

[@Dr.CandanEsin]

Perfectly detailed and produced. 👏👏👏

[@EngineerMikeF]

FYI Simpson StrongTie makes a concrete screw anchor with a beveled head so you can have a flush countersink finished look. Sweet work getting 2ea 16ft slabs flat. I always check the concrete slab I'm building on to see if its level, flat, etc so i don't build bad concrete work into a steel frame I'm building.

[@chrisgenovese8188]

thats a big, badass door!

[@raystormont]

Love the hinge. Only need one ball bering for each door. Ray Stormont

[@tooljourney]

Nice work ! Does the evolution saw work good without clamping the material?

[@MakeEverything]

Absolutely! I didn’t clamp anything I cut during this build just gotta hold on tight. I will say that’s probably not advised by evolution, and for round material definitely throw a clamp on wick.

[@DaoMyBuilding]

Hello, you are amazing, your designs seem very meticulous, I really like your videos

[@MakeEverything]

Thank you very much!!!

[@jerrybanks9216]

I would love to have some of those tools yo i love that miter saw

[@Ernie-zk3gb]

Nice job. I like it!

[@CallumRepairs]

This is really neat!

[@adambergendorff2702]

Interesting video, fun project!

[@davidtown6825]

Great work!!!!!

[@giorgiobrescianini3881]

I have a question! How much time it takes to the bearing to worn out? I want to try and make something like that and i Wanna know if its convenient. Thanks

[@waheeddawodu9892]

Bunch of toys. ❤

[@lobitojavi]

great job, congrats mate

[@skovgaard79]

Awesome work

[@garagemonkeysan]

Wow. Nice video. Great work. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@MarkWeiner-jx8qv]

Top job. That's why you make the big bucks! When s hits the fan, and it's coming. don't kid yourself. I want you on my ark!

[@alexibarra4675]

Take a shot every time he mentions his mag drill

[@douwetendam5097]

Small question, is there a reason for not tacking in the diagonal braces before welding it all together? My thought is that it would help a lot with warp prevention

[@casycasy5199]

nice job

[@Devellaro]

No handles yet? Ever? They should paint the cross bracing of the door a light silver to match the aluminum. Also looks kind of weird with their rectangles over the X's. Great job on the doors though! Interested in seeing their whole facility. I assume the extra large doors are to be able to fork lift large items through? Or is it all design?

[@Bigfoot14000]

Your skills of design and fabrication are equaled by your talent at videography. You could earn a living creating instructional videos if you ever decide to forgo the hard physical stuff.

[@joaoalegrio6433]

wait until the ball flattens 🫣

[@freakiilol]

We need some Matt commentary!!!

[@bigcat1067]

what's keeping them in the closed position

[@MakeEverything]

@@bigcat1067 we have to make some handles and a lock but for now they just stay closed from the little bit of friction in the hinge

[@tonybilco1317]

I can never get the square to stay square when i weld?even when iv clamped and tacked? 😢

[@bradley3549]

Do they have dinosaurs living there or what?

[@Bills_Bicycle_Rides]

I'm surprised you assumed the floor was level...

Scissor lift is scaffolding according to OSHA.

[@sergnemo2379]

без подшипников -это ерунда полная.

[@CallumRepairs]

The steel ball inside the hinges acts as a bearing, hence the smooth motion of the doors.

[@sergnemo2379]

@@CallumRepairs согласен. это классика. следовало меньше уделять время показа сварки и больше времени схеме конструкции и расчетам.

[@NileshKumar-uf4vh]

​@@CallumRepairs we need a spoon feeding version of this video showing the back ground planning and the problems you faced. I know it'll get you less views but heh heh let us learn a little something something from yourself.
