Head slap: when YT inserts their totally unrelated ad into the middle of your sponsor break! 🙄

[@camaro6810]

Dumb question from a rookie...why did you cut the faux beads on the MDF with the table saw? You have a nice cordless tracksaw, could you have just set the desired depth on the track saw and lined it up on your marks and zipped down the panel rather than fighting the large sheets on the table saw by yourself? Or is there something Im not thinking of....assuming you have enough track length to do that...

[@youtukang]

Nice 😍😍😍😍😍

Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

[@thematthewlondon]

the trick i've used on the screws in the door technique is on one side you only put 1 screw, then from the end with the two screws, you can pick them up and it will spin on the single screw on the other end

[@michaelwilmes8239]

I wanted to say that too

[@scottparkin2930]

I wish you would of posted this 2 days ago. I just bought closet doors. It would of changed my mind on custom closet door. This is the best KZbin video on closet doors.

[@kevinkeenan3333]

I have never seen someone write a 7 from the bottom to the top. Fascinating.

[@jd-kr8bo]

the L shape of the 4 was done bottom up as well

[@fishbiscuit2000]

When cutting the grooves in the panels you can cut two in each panel without moving the fence. Cut groove one from top to bottom, then flip the panel and cut number 7 from bottom to top. Cut number 2 and then flip the panel and cut number 6 and so on. Saves constantly measuring and lessens the chance of compound error.

[@dennislnbrewing]

I came here to make that comment. I figured someone else had this idea first. I was not disappointed.

[@tbddevelops]

Just spent all day watching older videos, to find a new one up! Bonus! I can't wait for tomorrow, I've been inspired to go out and make things this weekend.

[@achillesbuilds2432]

Hahahaha the weekend is hours away. Feelings change. Hmu when you're on the couch watching TV 😂. I know how this goes.

[@josephdecesaro1528]

They look great and I once helped a buddy replace all the doors in his house including closet doors. We made one mistake and it was that we replaced his hollow core closet doors with solid doors very similar to what you made. We noticed they weight difference but didn't think it matter much. A year later all of his rollers had broken. A few years later working at a contractor store I learned why. It seem most closet doors are sold as a kit and the roller set is just good enough to work with that weight of door so if you do change then it can cause it to wear faster. Just something to keep an eye on.

[@jayp6990]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.... 🤔

[@steari]

I'm pretty sure you're right. That would be a heavy front door let alone sliding closet door. It's a beautiful product but definitely needs some reinforcing. The previous doors must feel like foam in comparison.

[@jmoery]

Make your own floor guides! It's so easy and they look so much better. You can match the finish.

[@deboz8793]

Just learned something new when cutting wide boards fought cut. At 1:47 you made the first cut at the outer edge, then closer to the fence, and then completed the by starting from the outer edge and back. I wouldn’t have thought of doing such a cut like that! Thanks!

[@LordOfTheSnoop]

That screw idea for painting doors is has just completely changed my timelines on painting....GENIUS!

[@katig.4094]

Great video, I like that you don’t swear they older guys in KZbin

[@nightmaremermaidanimations5649]

I love to watch your woodworking videos with my dad

[@peterk7428]

I appreciate that you stained where the bedposts were before filming the last shot.

[@tutekohe1361]

I was wondering about the colour choice, until I saw they matched the internal doors. Great video.

[@pimuir]

I’ve got a series of doors I need to build at my house I built myself…this video gave me inspiration and solid skills to practice. Thanks Jason!

[@luctoulouse]

What a better way to start the week-end...With a bourbon moth woodworking video.. Thanks Jason.

[@donsinger4288]

Regarding the screw trick for painting. Put first screw like you did close to the edge of door and the second offset from center only a few inches. This allows you to flip the door easily with one person. Grab the outer screw and just rotate it around the inner screw. You do need a little longer support doing it this way. Just make sure the second screw is not too close to center of the door could move unexpectedly but otherwise it will stay nice and stable.

[@rtanderson2]

I’ve got a $1M policy thanks to you and policy genius. Plus I’m inspired to make closet doors now.

[@joscythe556]

Since the center panels are symmetric you could have saved time on the grooves you cut for the panelled look on the table saw by cutting at both ends with the same position set on the sled, effectively halving the times you have to measure and adjust the saw.

[@mtnbikeman85]

Also could have used the track saw and it depth stop and not needed to pick up each heavy ass door 7 times.

[@bjbailey12]

Educational, entertaining and eye candy. One of my favorite channels!

[@raydriver7300]

That is a fantastic idea with the screws for painting. As my French daughter in law has taught me, tonight I go to bed less stupid 🌞

[@lnambz]

Had to reload the way you draw a 4, not right or wrong, just fascinating!!

[@tomhostetter8516]

Nice build Jason,

[@grant3226]

Cool, sneaky tick, tilt table saw blade to 45 degrees to create a V groove

[@RichsModelingTrains]

4:13 While on a job sight doing some plumbing, the home owner was doing his own molding and was holding the cut the same way you are. He cut 90% through his arm. Since then I never crossed my arm that way while cutting.

[@razorwired130]

I cheered when you cut that bed down to size!!

[@rootriverwoodworks5883]

I need to make closet doors very much like what you just made. Thanks for the video of inspiration. Now to clean the garage so I have enough room to make some doors.

[@thezfunk]

I literally just did this (I bought the doors, solid wood). That looks exactly like the Johnson Hardware that was on my old doors. I tried to reuse them but the new solid doors were far too heavy. Johnson makes tracks for heavier doors and if you replaced hollow core doors I would strongly suggest upgrading the hardware. I also noticed that the handle you used looks exactly like the Emtek pulls that I bought too.

[@photog1529]

Beautiful set of doors. I love using Sherwin-Williams' Emerald...used it to spray some master bedroom cabinets that I built and the finish is as smooth as glass. Expensive paint, but well worth it.

[@pablomax9376]

Cool trick with the screws for painting. You may want to try a slightly bigger screw directly in the middle to take the weight. Then use skinny screws at each end. Only 1 on each side. at one end the left and the other end of the door the opposite side to stop it from moving. Then remove the screws from the side and just flip it over using the middle screw as the pivot. Save your back!

[@featherboards1565]

I'm happy to see my Hedgehog featherboard and new push block in action. 💪🏽

[@Bourbonmoth]

🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@raeannclark859]

I like how you fixed the footboard, at least you have a nice shop to sleep in

[@anthonyjohnston1618]

nice shop man, that jointer is no joke! highly recommend you add something grippy to the floor to prevent your feet from slidding!

[@sparkyprojects]

Surprised you didn't cut groove 1 then turn the board to cut groove 7 etc, 4 set ups instead of 7 ;)

[@joni4757]

I did think the same thing 😅

[@JOJO-se5cm]

I thought the same, but i think he did that to keep the lines parallel. So it make sense to saw all from one side.

[@kevindadams]

I was just about to say the same thing. #GreatMinds

[@hansblonk1465]

He also could start in middle and fixed spaces to both sides

[@johnmetzger7185]

Alternatively, could used a router with a Groove or V-bit and a straight edge guide...

[@dlandes14]

Awesome stuff. Bonus is learning a really quick and easy way to do a faux vertical shiplap panel!

[@joecool509]

perfect timing... I need to build 4 of those for our bonus room using barn door style track

[@lka55364]

it's only 7 lines and since the symmetry you could run first pass and then run through other edge to get two cuts per adjustment for one sheet, then only 4 adjustments are necessory.

[@2HME]

I was gonna say this as well.

[@tj49b]

Was going to say the same thing. Great doors.

[@tomas6700]

I wasn’t going to say that. But, it makes sense.

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

i was going to say that, too. did it once for a headboard and felt smart for a minute.

[@vjenkinsdb]

hahahha was thinking this too

[@evertkleynhans2617]

@21:30 -- So, you finaly came out of the closet...... Love the doors and your work!!!!

[@succubusstop]

I grooved an MDF panel once with a router; I clamped a board to it as a guide rail.

[@kwiknikk]

Absolutely fascinated on how you draw your "4's" starting from the bottom. Also the doors.

[@mikegman7502]

And He was never heard of again after his wife got home and found the canopy on the guest bed chopped in pieces rip lol!! Great videos man

[@mikeh819]

Painting door tip. Put one screw just off center and one on the edge. Then you can spin the door in the “center” screw without picking up the door. This does depend on how your saw horses are made and width of door but you get the idea.

[@The_Planted_Eye_1]

This is on time. I am going to build doors for my closets over the winter. Thanks.

[@WizzardofOdds]

Like the style of the doors, better than bi-folds. As for the bed, drill half inch holes, glue in dowels, replace the uprights and call it a day.

[@achillesbuilds2432]

The door is nice, but I'm more impressed that you were able to get those jeans on.

[@Bourbonmoth]

[@achillesbuilds2432]

[@cjlamber]

I recently did a similar groove cut on a narrow panel but these were horizontal. My saw is metric so only had to add 20 mm each time. Easy Peasy lemon squeezey.

[@brentfrench752]

I’d paint the door frames black. I personally think it would look better, but maybe that’s just me. Nice job on the doors. They turned out great!

[@Norwegianwoodworker]

Hi. Greatings from Norway 😄 Love your videos and projects. Did my own closet last month in a not to different way. A lot of good tips in the comment section her to, and mine is to use 3 screws. 2 in one end and one in the center on the other side. So you can lift and turn easy on the single screw. That way you do not touch the wet paint at all. Looking forward to the next vid. Have a noodle week.

[@robd.4319]

If you use three screws instead of four screws it's so easy to flip the door over. put two screws in like you did then put one screw in the middle on the other end. pickup the end with two screws and rotate it on the single screw. you flipped the door over very easy.

[@Mindspectrum]

I need to go to bed, it is late here in Germany. But then this video comes up.. :D Very nice work!

[@joshmiddleton7948]

Once again, great video, great narration, outstanding skills! You have became one of my favorite channels to watch! Always entertaining and informative!

[@afsarmstrongfiresafety7460]

Safety Note: At 4:12 you make a cross-arm cut on the miter saw, which is one of the common factors in saw accidents. It's best practice to always keep limbs out of the cutting plane of the blade. We can't have you losing any arms on us.

[@germancruz2491]

I noticed that in couple of videos

[@SeanChYT]

14:00 I would recommend using a much smaller square than that, to get the extra precision.

[@gerrystevens4954]

Love your stuff Jason! Both entertaining AND informative. The track saw can make an "easy peasy lemon squeazy" groove in door panels too.

[@captain92morgan68]

Looking forward to the bed frame build. I need to make one for my spare room

[@HandlebarWorkshops]

It's funny that you ended up painting them black. At the beginning of the video I was going to say that those orange-y, shellacked, 80's lookin, red oak furniture pieces (cabinets, doors, etc) look surprisingly good painted a satin black. I see a red oak door and I want it painted black No orangey anymore. Never to go back

[@earlelzy7243]

I like watching your videos because you do such good work. And you make me laugh.

[@Bubbles-up]

Well I gotta say those are awesome looking doors and I think you do an awesome job at trying to tell everybody how to go about things and that doesn't happen with a lot of people! You taught me something today that I would've never thought of about cutting a little grooves in that to make it look like a shiplap or make it look good and I appreciate that because when you learn something every day it's a great day any day you can learn something new makes everything better at least in my little world so thank you very much truly appreciate that keep up the good work on your videos love them!

[@michaelmcleodwriter]

I’m wondering, since you were so careful to layout the ship-lap cuts on the face of the doors,why you didn’t flip them around while you had them on the saw. There should be two cuts on each door that are the same distance from their relative sides. In other words, cut once, flip the door panel around (not over, the same side is still up) and cut the other side. That way you reduce you saw set up by half, and also physical reduce handling because you can use the saw as a third hand/pivot point. Good implementation of a good idea. I enjoy your humor and your projects.

[@crouffer]

I just came here to make that very same suggestion. Start by cutting the middle line. Move the fence, cut the next two lines out on each panel. Repeat until they are all done. 🙂 I like the effect. I'm going to try the same thing on some smaller doors first.

[@kevinglennon2770]

@@crouffer Ditto! Figured it was one of two things: 1) I missed something and was hoping to learn it in the comments, or, 2) Totally didn't think of it during the build. If I made a list of the things I didn't think of during a build... it would be a very long and boring list to read.

[@utedahlberg5260]

It is more comfortable to use only tree screws. Two on one side ans one on the other. You can lift the side with two screws and turn the door around the screw in the center of the opposite side. I like your Videos. Greetings from germany.

Great Video - Love the pretend joins on the MDF - I think you could have saved time - instead of cutting the slits all the way across the door the distance from the left and the right are the same so you could of flipped it 180 degrees 6 less times measuring

Great project! Every time I see you use your saw cutting something big or on your last project with the shuffle board table I thin you need some of those Jessem TS guides.

[@TimfromAlabama]

Loved the look. And you make it look so easy. Only suggestion I have is...Jason...you need an outfeed table on that table saw...lol. I see you fight long boards all the time and I just want to come up and help catch them on the outfeed. I've tried doing cuts of long boards or plywood without an outfeed table and gotten to the ends only to find my wood jumps out of my hands. Or worse they move slightly and my cuts aren't straight. Definitely an outfeed table in your future build. It'll make your work so much easier. And the foreman will like sitting on it while he watches and makes sure you're working elsewhere in the shop.

[@nightmaremermaidanimations5649]

I live your videos you inspired me to more woodworking

[@VE3AVA]

Great idea with the grooves in the MDF! We are rebuilding our closet this winter and I may have to try this out. Thanks!

[@SenselessUsername]

If the lines are evenly spaced, he could have saved 3 fence-settings from 7, by running each panel twice; once in each direction. Because groove nr 7 is as far from the right edge as nr 1 from the left.

[@teeram100]

as a tip, put some soft tape on the bottom of the door to prevent them from being scratched during use

[@gioazzarello1333]

[@chriswilson6952]

Surely lines 1 & 7 .... 2 & 6..... 3 & 5 were the same distance from the fence and the fence gets moved or set 4 times total .... Love the channel By the way...!

[@yggmahbollen]

A tip. When you painting the doors, have a screw in the middle so it can swivel on. Then you dont have to pick it up och flip

[@JoePelayo1]

Great idea. I'll be doing exactly that later this week.

[@danielbuckner2167]

Okay, second Pro tip: when you are hanging any bypass closet doors like these it is easiest to put both doors in the closet before hanging the outermost one first. That way the one behind in back is already in the closet and easy to get to the track behind the first one.

[@richardschipper5989]

you can't hang the outside one first. the bottom of the door needs to swing out so you can get the rollers into the track

[@jasonmyska2326]

Hey, our media room is that exact color!

[@pdubs7069]

Awesome self flip @ 19:10😲

[@MrTrollhammar]

If you put just one screw in the middle of the top and two in the bottom (or the other way round, doesn't matter), you can even turn the door without having to call someone over to help you :)
