Big thank you to JD from APEX welding, Couldn't have done this with out his experience and wealth of knowledge! the doors will get insulation from inside in due time! thank you brother!

[@ollie4dad]

You need to make a "What's the Password" Slot in the man door. Other than that it's an awesome door.

Your gunna want to check out, @doorsrus512 on instagram

[@1pcfred]

When I saw the gaps between those boards all I could think of was drafts come winter time.

[@WilliamMoser]

Paul Frederick I used to wonder about the gaps like you, until I caught an arrow in the knee. and then read the video description.

[@Whey2010]

Well done!

[@lynnstevens4772]

Jimmy Diresta this was a great build. My grandson and I really enjoyed watching the barn doors being fabricated. Again, I'd like to thank you for the Ice Pick, the " if it looks straight " poster and his favorite of all time, the I Make postcard that you autographed for him. I cant thank you enough sir and I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day.

[@stilcrazychris]

You sir are a jack of all trades. Just like my Dad was. RIP Pops. Just in all of that shop you've built. Plus you have so cool toys. Keep up these great videos. I watch just so I know tools. Bc God knows I sure the HELL wouldn't even try to do some of the stuff that you do. Chris from Missouri

[@imbok]

It's impressive that the angle frames were completely rigid enough without any kind of sag bracing. Nice welding job and I really dug the heavy duty pin-hinges. Hard core!

[@ЕрболНурбаев-б7к]

Строительный рай, все есть в сша. Как мастеру там легче, но в СССР настоящие Кулибины. Джими вы супер.

[@aaronblakely5873]

Hey Jimmy I am endlessly impressed at your ability to get old stuff to look just right where you put it. In my minds eye I had thought you'd plane, sand and finish those boards but once everything was done I could see why you did what you did. It looks at home.

[@protect.your.digits.creations]

I love the "Keystone Cops " speed.... Every time I see another finished part of the Maker Mansion completed it makes me very happy for you my brother and I feel the knowledge that will be pulsing from it will help the world of Creators. The pilot light is BLAZING !!!!!! Stay well my brother

[@rcollinge5818]

Every time he uses that speed mode it reminds me of Benny Hill. Amazing video skills!!!!

[@c.brooks7199]

As a locksmith.......I loved watching the building of the locks....Awesome !!!

[@stumorrison27]

My son just asked me if I'm going to make doors for my shop, I guess I have to now that Jimmy and JD showed me how! Great build guys, I love the comradery built by working together...

[@munched55]

I know people talk up lithium grease but I've used copper paste for years in the worst environments (like on brake pads) and the stuff never fails. Years of sleet and snow, hot and cold and parts come apart like they were put on yesterday. Plus I love the color. Mmmm copper.

[@iDeviceChgr]

I came for the barn doors, and stayed for the latch system :) I love watching you engineer mechanisms like that latch and lock. And that last scene of you opening it up and the bright light shining in, is what I think it will feel like when you first arrive to the DiResta workshop! Nice work Brother!! 👍🏼

[@tommypetraglia4688]

Eyeballing every step of the way, without a blueprint or even sketch in sight or as my CT Yankee boss would say 'Kentucky Windage'

[@pimuir]

Jimmy, once again you've inspired me on many levels: metal working, reclaimed wood, framing, welding, hinges, locks and oh so much more. Thanks for taking the time to capture it, edit it and share it! Cheers!

[@JonMarHannah]

I've got a thing for hand made door handles and latches. Matthias has a good video of some in his family cabins. Love it.

[@Waxxumus]

I very much enjoy watching your videos. They encourage me to build things on my own. I have become quite the carpenter watching you jimmy!

[@Vikingwerk]

Bravo for not going with yet another lousy roll-up door! beautiful work as always.

[@LRSS2455]

That shop is awesome, whoever built it really takes pride in their work.

[@BoomerKeith1]

I love this project. With everything except for the dead bolt, this could have been made in the midevil days. Simply awesome.

[@user-jt9cp4nf5r]

These music adds a very dramatic touch to your movies and the building process. I like it.

[@MoonshineMetalworks]

I wouldn't have done the hinges like that.... but that's the great thing about KZbin, I get to see things that I wouldn't have done, get done and work great! Thanks Jimmy. Of course the other great thing about KZbin is seeing Brett in the background and going "Hey I know that guy!".

[@YuraKvadrat132]

Джимми вы мой кумир. Мастерская просто супер. То что вы делаете великолепно. Жаль я никогда не смогу встретится с вами. А так бы этого хотелось. Встреча с кумиром.

[@luisduque3584]

Eres un chingón!!!!!!...me quitó el sombrero.....!!!!!......😎..You... jefe ....boss....saludos desde Morelos México......

[@areyoumad]

That's the most enjoyable video of yours I've ever seen. The clever opening mechanisms, the carefully chosen music, the gigantism of the project, the smiles on your faces... Thank you!

[@NJFLIPPER]

WOW, The doors are great! The locks and deadbolts are just Amazing Jimmy!! Thanks. Be Safe!!

[@IanLConnors]

I know I should be used to it by now, but your brilliance always surprises me.

[@michaelwallace897]

Now those are only about a tenth of a percent away from being considered the pearly gates to heaven. Beautiful work as usual my friend.

[@Mcphilsmith]

Great job Jimmy, JD, and Brett. You should be proud of this.

[@jeremyfisher2767]

Everything about your locking mechanism was amazing. Only thing that put me off was all the cracks in the doors. With you living up in NY I’d think you would want to tongue and groove those boards. Aside from that absolutely amazing stuff. Love your videos

[@davelester1985]

I smile to see how happy you are working with all your toys.

[@DaveDaHunt3R]

i'm shocked by how you continue to amaze us with your crafting skills! those locking mechanism are insane!! You're the biggest inspiration for all of us makers! Thx Jimmy!

[@ThisOldTony]

sweet doors. I'd high five you both but your hands are probs dirty.

[@jdbrewer6638]

Yeah, that tends to happen when you hardly wear them 😂 thanks, ToT!

[@nowayjerk8064]

LOOK WHOS HI CLASS NOW HE HAS AN OPUS, WOULD YOU LIKE A MOIST TOWLETT WITH YER GREY POOPON?

[@alexnosheds]

This old Tony I got your Tshirt delivered today! so happy :-)

[@0ohoaxo0]

Oh shit its TOT hows the nail biting going??

[@jimmydiresta]

I am still dirty. 😝

[@63256325N]

Beyond good, on the doors and the hardware. Wicked clever as New Englanders say. Thanks for the video.

[@jdgindustries2734]

Yet another awesome video on the construction of the maker temple. However, as long as it's been without siding, I'm thinking you should have installed the zip boards on their side. You could have just used a clearcoat sealer, and claimed they were giant-sized, earth-friendly, (read: green) bricks 😁. Thanks for sharing the process with us Jimmy!

[@DerekPlace]

The shot of you at the end opening the doors, was really well done. Congrats. It's looking amazing.

[@MBayas1]

As simple as the mechanisms were they still impressed me. Grey Job Jimmy!!! Looks great!

[@EdOfTheNorth]

Jim, even a rifle barrel will bend when left hanging under end to end tension for long periods of time. For doors that size and weight, it might be a good idea to put a corner to corner diagonal steel strap across each door. Just a suggestion. The doors look nice.

[@pablovilas3984]

not a great build sorry.

[@japanwoodworker6910]

Agreed

[@japanwoodworker6910]

Agreed, a bit sloppy with the woodwork., Latches and fittings are interesting but let down by the woodwork.

[@BESHYSBEES]

Took a while but i knew someone would have beaten me to it ...

[@rpomusic]

Agreed. It's quite sloppy, although diresta is not about accuracy though. he is a "let's get it done quick for ok quality" guy.

[@jamesweil3470]

I love the barn doors, they look great. The only problem I see with them is if you have a strong wind blowing towards the doors during a rainstorm Waters going to come in. You might want to think about making lap joints or possibly TNG to make it a little more watertight.

[@aniket.khade27]

Loved the locking mechanisms. Everything looks built to last a lifetime.

[@404BOOMER]

Cool doors. Like the clever locking mechanisms. Like the music goin on in the video. The doors if not beefy enough can always be upgraded later. The shop is awesome. I love it.

[@w.w.oklahoma6010]

Jimmy is has to be a great kick working with other Masters of the Trades??? I sure enjoy the shop build projects, thanks for taking us along, w.w..

[@jeffgannon1]

Bravo! Always something very satisfying about barn door building! And I’m glad someone still stick welds every now and then.

[@rootorecreations9844]

these are my favorite barn doors ever...from the materials to the hinges to the locks. Everything is awesome. Love it Jimmy!

[@kostello19]

That must be so emotional finally got doors in your great workshop! And you made themself! Congratulation Jimmy :)

[@kaycox5555]

Awesome! Can't believe you all accomplished this huge project so (what appears to be) quickly.....and can't believe how brave you men are to weld with beards!!!!! Congrats.

[@HercoVanDyk]

Those hand made mechanisms! 😍 Absolutely love the simplicity behind it. Amazing how quick you get something working if you don't have to worry about the wear, maintenance or serviceable parts... If it breaks, there's just another opportunity to create it again. Very well done Jimmy! Love the large projects you are doing these days. Can't wait for the canoe video!

[@الجنادريةبيتحائل]

عندما يكون الابداع جنون . الاتحاد قوة . بوركت الايادي . (lughatan earabiah)

[@John_Malecki]

So awesome, love the Ingenuity of the locking system!

[@CraigRippon]

That was brilliant - I could not think of those tricky mechanisms in a million years

[@thegentlemanmaker]

Fantastic! You’ve taught me plenty there that I will attempt on a much smaller scale. Thanks chaps.

[@girliedog]

Another great video, thank you. Those Fireball squares are a revelation​ for fabrication.

[@jonwills4670]

I love how you include when JD is giving you tips! We never stop learning!!

[@ilmondodimassi]

I would be watching you work for hours and hours. Thank you teacher. Max

[@g3718]

Hi Jimmy. The different gates and closing mechanisms. I think that in large air curtains, steel balls and a little grease will be superfluous.

[@GetMeThere1]

Ah well...I love these doors and those mechanisms. It has to be said, though: The sliding door is an easier, cheaper, and more robust choice structurally. Sliding doors have been working like gangbusters on barns for well over a HUNDRED YEARS (in fact I have a couple that are that old and working great). Futhermore, sliding doors are not nearly as susceptible to hindrance from a couple of feet of snow, as these will be. A sliding big door containing a human door (as you did here) would be ideal. All of which doesn't change the fact that I LOVED watching this video!!! Nice job!

[@VartaBok]

Epic build, the barn door swing >> last seen over 100 years ago

[@blessedbiped]

Fist bump for perfect fit! Nice hardware, I can see you're having fun with that new lathe. On hinges: maybe try drilling and tapping a zerk fitting in them so they can be greased periodically.

[@danbarrett6113]

Those doors and hand made hardware are sweet. They really fit your style Jimmy.....

[@X3WorkshopDesigns]

Awesome build Jimmy! I'm blown away at how simple you make things look. My girlfriend, however, has a concern. Since she loves her silver fox she wants you to next time use a ladder when grinding the welds instead of using that apple box.

[@Bill-YellowDogWelding]

Sweet! I wouldn't expect anything less from the two of you.

[@saartal4524]

Very impressive work. NICELY DONE. Simple yet smart and with an elegant locking mechanism. Super functional approach - love it.

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

What a huge and beautiful Maker Space. Those doors! Oh guy mosh! Those doors! Great job! My lady is going to finance a small maker space/barn for me. I'd be happy with a cement slab and maybe a roof. working on machines in the wet grass is not fun. Wood working in a drafty barn with only one electric outlet isn't much fun either. Getting things done though, is satisfying.

[@Ghammer240]

When Jimmy opened the finished doors, it was strangely inspiring

[@DavidSprings]

It's gratifying to see your dream shop coming together. You deserve it, bro.

[@ffsneednamealltaken]

The constant sound of chain sawing and metal clanging soothed the edges of my soul

[@jackbrennan8723]

The inside of that building is majestic. So inspiring. xo

[@BitsandWood]

Dude, that’s going to be a sweet shop when it’s all done. I don’t normally like the look of aged boards, but that looks good.

[@dustysparks]

Be sure to Lithium grease the ever-loving-s!*# on all of those metal-metal contact points. That's an awesome build! :)

[@sportstertaco]

When I grow up I want a shop like that. Holy wow!!

[@ahmetcomlekcioglu2671]

Doors are pretty but the barn will be cold in winter. I would love to see you build a big rocket stove that will be able to heat the whole barn, diresta styla. I am also aware that filling the blanks of the door will not cut the cold and draft. All the best.

[@matthewyoung917]

Absolutely love those final shots of the Maker Church

[@focalplane3063]

I can't wait to see the 3 inches of frost on the inside of the doors in the middle of winter. Metal is a great conductor of cold.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Jimmy, you and JD did a phenomenal job on the doors! 👍👍👊👊 .... great work on the locks/latches too, and really cool shot at the end with the doors opening!

[@taylorhud]

That place is badass! Diresta is honestly a genius

[@celticwarrior916]

Thank you for sharing so many of your projects and adventures with us! It really helps motivate me, to keep getting out in the shop.

[@anthonyjones657]

I love your style Jimmy. Westernish music with some huge barn doors.

[@allen2905]

Having a type "A" personality, I love the project videos sped up. Plus the ingenuity of creating the locking mechanisms including the metal lathe. Gosh, my man, you got all the right tools. Ps. Love the swing.

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

Love those big heavy hinges... I know it's probably a little overkill, but it's nice to never have to worry about them failing

[@arfink]

It would be nice, but there aren't any grease fittings, so that plus the doors racking wildly from having no corner bracing means it will probably fail all too quickly.

[@steve4675]

Very nice work. The door in door reminds me of an old shop from the nineteen teens or twenties. I love it.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

That shot at 13:29 really showed how massive the workshop is! What insulation will be used? And why?

[@dominicdelprincipe2583]

wow. one of the best things about this is the sounds echoing from the mechanism at the end. Incredible!

[@Denali822]

Awesome job JD and Jimmy! Love the shot of JD rockin' out while burning rod at 8:41. :)

[@woodjoee]

Amazing that these big doors work without any diagonal support.. Good job!

[@Stubones999]

That's a real shop! Way to go, Jimmy!

[@channel0123]

i'm starting to like the green outside, also with all the trees next to it. maybe an option to do the siding in dark army green. Will blend very well in the surroundings.

[@GregsGarage]

I'm digging all the latch mechanisms! The doors kick ass too!

[@diva2042]

the fabrication of the hardware is fantastic

[@jmakes3745]

The door mechanisms are genius! Great job jimmy!

[@ecrusch]

You probably couldn't get me off the swing to help... Nice job Jimmy & JD.

[@billymartinozarkmountainfo225]

Right on bub love them doors. The ways you made them locks rock bub. Great job.

[@giovannifiorentino8947]

First time I see wood being welded and it looks great!

[@Sergey-wg7ne]

Jimmy is the king of makers.

[@randynovick7972]

Neat! Very much liked your robust hinge design. Congrats on less drafty environs.

[@dessertaz5560]

Wow one of your very best videos ever in my opinion!! Functional and what you needed.......

[@singJJBplay]

Those are some bomb-proof hinges. Love the overall end product!

[@jae878]

Really cool idea. I would add some plate to the inside so someone can’t “jimmy “ lol the lock mechanisms through the gaps in the wood. Locks only keep honest people out.

[@vladimirpronyashin2707]

Навески шикарные получились, но желательно было выточить посадочное место на оси под шарик из подшипника. Так как масса двери приличная и она так будет легче открываться. А сверху или сбоку верхней навески просверлить отверстие и сделать тавотницу для возможности смазывания петель

[@vastyesaltydog]

Love the hinges and the latches. Great video Jimmy

[@FigmentsMade]

These doors are great and I love the vertical bolt system! I can't wait to see the whole building finished to see your full vision.

[@DaddyBear3000]

I haven’t had one of your vids pop in my feed for a while, but randomly thought today, “I wonder what’s happening with the Diresta ranch?” Progress! Although I can’t see barn doors without thinking of The Walking Dead anymore 😜

[@Pickledpepperpicka]

Everyone seems to like to put in their tuppence worth! Nice video, entertaining, enjoyed it. It's great making big stuff! I liked the rotating mechanism throwing bolts up and down. High fives all round!

[@MikeBramm]

Every cathedral needs large doors. Nice work.
