Solid white oak door gets custom moulding

[@jamesruemenapp2495]

Great door. Love white oak. You should put the finish on the panels before you assemble. When the panel contracts it will show the unfinished part. If the panel are already at it's largest size, then no problem.

[@andrewkennedy9704]

With the bead you won't see that

[@antonvink]

@@andrewkennedy9704 Yes you would, if he would have finished under the bead before he put it on you wouldnt. But if you finish it now and the wood panel contracts you see a small line on both sides from under the beads.

[@davidzapalac6977]

Great job! Who doesn't love a solid hardwood door?

[@jaimegurrola2048]

Finally somebody agrees with me “ less is more “ that’s correct, beautiful work!

[@allansheehan2033]

I hope you stop and take a breath and acknowledge how proud you should be with what you have accomplished ! Beautiful work !!

[@jerryleejohnsonjr1377]

It is just as satisfying to watch how satisfied you are, Great job!!

[@jefferyholland]

The beaded molding made it all come together. Easily a thousand-dollar bathroom door. Very nice.

[@mauriceryton]

Beautiful.

[@Mike-dy8bq]

I would say on the low end, easily between $1,800 & $ 2,000 (unfinished)

[@jefferyholland]

@@Mike-dy8bq Yeah, I was just referring to the blank. I just had an exterior door made out of solid oak for our church and the mill shop charged us $2100, finished and installed with new hardware but without the jamb.

[@Mike-dy8bq]

@@jefferyholland Cool, God bless.

[@bonniebarber6114]

The bathroom was the perfect door to start with. Now you can sit on the toilet and just stare at the majesty of all that oak goodness. I know I would 😂❤

[@walterkucharski4790]

Here's a tip never stop moving your material when routing with the table learn to switch hands to keep going till you are through. If you stop there's always a burn or dimple. If you had a shaper the speed is slower and won't burn also. Good luck.

[@ds61821]

It's good to put painter's tape under the surface of the bar clamps to prevent the bars from marking up the wood. I love the doors, btw.

[@bullybluecoal1831]

This project got you my sub. Simply awesome. I waited from the beginning before commenting. As uncommon it is to see white oak used, it's simply gorgeous. I have often wondered why it is not used over the prevailing red oak. I've seen some furniture of white, but not much else. FWIW, it is very weather resistant, and fairly impervious to rot and bugs. I am planning to make my basement bilco doors from rough cut white oak, lathered in oil. I hate the prefab metal doors for exterior basement access. I'm glad to be a new sub here.

[@jeffnhelen]

Beautiful door! Love the bead trim idea…as you said it’s an understated classic now. Great job guys!

[@groovy1937]

Amazing craftsmanship! You are exceptional! I love the door, I love the raised panel and how you milled it - just so skillful. I love everything you do.

[@adamschunker3715]

Perfectly put. This man is not only a genius but one of the nicest guys you'll ever see.

[@HBSuccess]

Beautiful job Richard. At $500+/pop you're going to have some money tied up to do the entire house though. You could save dollars and hardwood by veneering your rails and stiles- mill out of MDF and then laminate with white oak. Doesn't have to be paper-thin, I'm talking about 1/8" or even thicker - the material will go 4x farther (one full 4/4 piece will make at least 4.maybe 5, 1/8" veneers after subtracting for your bandsaw kerf and surfacing. It's a bit of extra work but you have all the machinery to do it - laminate the edges first . If you plan it right the edge seams will be nearly invisible and the structure will be even more stable. Many commercially available "solid hardwood" doors are built this way. They leave the strike side and the bottom veneer a little thicker (3/8-1/2" typ.) so the door can be fitted to the opening. The only downside is you have to get the sizing within that 1/4" or so right out of the gate. Everything else in milling and assembly is the same. RE: Moulding - I would have glued the beads (only to the rails/stiles.. not the panels) and I do agree with the comment that it would probably be better to put at least a scratch coat of finish (assuming you know what you're using - that's usually the hang-up) on the panels - at least the panel edges, before assembly. If you can't ...as long as the wood is dry to 8% or less, and the house is climate-controlled, you won't get much movement but it could show a hairline seasonally I suppose. One more tip - try not to push-stick on the waste side of your blade -it's not safe, and you're apt to ruin the last inch or two of your cut. I've always made custom push-sticks for narrow stock that work, but a cpl years ago I bit the bullet and bought a couple of the fully tricked-out Micro-jig Grrippers (spelling). Those things really are a game changer for narrow moulding - so much more control. But you do pretty much do need two of them, and they take some practice. But I don't feel safe without them now. Take care - enjoy your channel.

[@JackStevenson5045]

You are correct, less is more, and it’s perfect. Incredible taste in design. Obvious craftsmanship.

[@michaela1655]

And all this time I thought you were a hollow core door kind of guy. Just kidding. That door is a beauty.

[@DJPICKE349]

Exquisite craftsmanship as always and I love the extra attention given to making tight fitting precision miter joints.!

[@craigwarman88]

Can't wait to see it painted Makita blue!

[@adventurebegins1]

Looks good! Must be small width to fit in existing frame and casing. Looks like a 2'4.

[@darylzeitner2966]

That is exactly what the door needed. Amazing how the right little moulding can change a look.

[@askor2000]

It looks so right! Must feel great - your own design to a finished product and by your own hands

[@patrickdudek8480]

Yeah man. It's way cool. Your craftsmanship is to notch.

[@mag4973]

Dude! Incredible craftsmanship! You should be proud and I hope your family is also! Your attention to every detail is amazing! I see many jobs coming your way from people that appreciate the beauty and pride in what you do!

[@Mtbeaver9]

A beautiful door build. Your talking about brushing on finish. Have you tried Arm R Seal finish? You can foam brush or wipe on with stain pad with thin coats and it turns out amazing. Very durable. I prefer the Satin finish. Try it, I think you’ll be very satisfied.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

It's really beautiful Richard. You've done a lot nice projects for the channel and this might be the best one yet. BRAVO!!

[@Greg_Gatsby]

That door, to me, is most impressive with its subtle details. 👍

[@hansangb]

@1:15 Richard, you *have* to try the 3M Xtract or Cubitron sandpaper. You'll never go back. And @8:40 I wasn't loving the moulding idea until you put it on. Man alive, does that look great! Oh, and if you want to blow peoples' mind, paint it! 😂🤣

[@shawnfoos7844]

I think if you ever moved again, that door would be coming with you. Excellent craftsmanship.

[@albertm8576]

That door is beautiful. Simple yet elegant. I just love, like you said, the less is more and it definitely is in this case . Keep up the great videos.

[@migdi242424]

You just crafted a door for your grandchildrens grandchildren. Very cool door.

[@whatthehellimbored]

Better use some heavy duty screws on the hinges for a door that heavy

[@Timmy_P711]

Amazing work as always. Super impressed and love your love for your own projects!

[@xspaddriver]

A door anyone could be proud of but it looks upside down to my eye. I can't wait to see what kind of hinges you'll need to hold all that weight. Well done!

[@wilahinely]

That door is amazing! You said it best with less is more. It screams quality.

[@iggyandangus]

I love that fastcap lefty/righty tape measure. It’s the only one I buy now.

[@kennyshipman7136]

Another job well done! Outstanding Marine.

[@doorjumper2549]

Dang, your bathroom door is better that most front doors. Your bathroom can double as a storm shelter with a door that stout. Great job!

[@christianvachon2235]

That is one sexy piece of craftsmanship! Bravo! Raised panel is gorgeous and the beauty of the bead is that it lets the outstanding grain of that would shine through. That is some incredibly gorgeous wood! I have to admit that I had a gigantic smile at the close-up of the grain. That is some incredibly outstanding looking wood! Just Bravo! Cheers! No

[@photog1529]

Wow...that is one beautiful door. Great job as always.

[@spenegdt]

the door looks beautiful. You will probably need 4 hinges and some long screws for that beast.

[@laszlodesimon4768]

Unbelievable with your precision and quality of workmanship! Great job and thank you for sharing the build. I hope you're going to use four hinges to offset the weight! Can't wait to seeing the installation video! Keep them coming, you are so inspiring! Thank YOU

[@kenwoodruff4597]

Absolutely beautiful !! You have amazing skills as a trim carpenter Richard!! I love watching your videos. they are not only entertaining but encouraging for us week end wood workers! keep up the good work!

[@aiserock]

The door looks great. I've been following this channel for some time now and it's awesome to watch your talent progress. Thank you for allowing me to follow your journey brother!

[@chrisnash2154]

The door is stunning my man. What’s better is YOU DID IT. May take a year or two, but I told everyone to only give me Rockler gift certificates for B-Days and X-mas cause I’m saving up for Domino.

[@garybensel6680]

Door looks perfect! Put a coat of poly or varnish and hang it.

[@michaelplays2449]

Beautiful work Richard !!!

[@IMDunn-oy9cd]

I wasn't sure abut that last bit of bead molding, but you made the right choice in doing that. Nicely done.

[@timh7156]

Sweet! I think the wider doors will look even better.

[@richkocher3330]

Richard, well done. Sure beats store bought

[@jackww839]

From mdf to master! Absolutely inspirational👍

[@GDOG520]

Great your right not to crazy as design wise but beautiful craftsman ship that people will recognize whether there wood workers or not

[@birddogmi67]

Can't wait to see finish....I'm doing a copy pair for french doors...gonna be alot of work ....Great Job!

[@donf1526]

Super classy. Looks excellent!!!

[@shaynesabala]

That 's awesome. Like you said, it's not overwhelming to the point it stands out but when you look at the detail up close it looks very nice. You should make a modern 3 panel interior door so I can see how to do it for my house. lol

[@patricklacasse2877]

That is a nice looking door

[@stevenrueda4604]

Dude move to Florida so I can hire you lol...Great job as always!

Save the old door and take the new one with you when you move. That door is a part of you. Forever.

[@holdemNE1]

Hey....you're like that door. 10:20 You have just enough class without screaming for too much attention.

[@hillbillyrocker3257]

Been a while since I've been on KZbin and I just saw your video. You've come a long way man. I haven't seen the shop yet and it looks good! Awesome to see. 🤙

[@TheLablujan]

Would it be possible to glue the beads instead of brad nails ? Just to put some oil and enjoy real good without any holes.

[@customcraftsbybruceslaton4872]

Beautiful door. I am building my own doors (9 of them, including my front door) from Red Oak. Hope they turn out as nice s yours!

Holly Molly, the first 100lbs 28” door😂😂😂. Time to use some long screws. All in all that’s one awesome door 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@colejones4238]

Great work as always. Need more video series like this!

[@russalbright4213]

What an absolutely beautiful door! The only concern I would have is having such a brutally heavy door with little kids. When they are chasing each other and one runs into a room and slams the door shut, if someone has a hand anywhere near where the door closes, it will chop fingers right off. I remember as kids, my brother chased me into my bedroom and when I slammed the door shut, he screamed bloody murder. It broke three of his fingers, and those were just solid core 6 panel doors, probably half the weight of that door. Just a cautionary tale, but something you might want to consider with little kids around.

[@danieldunn6284]

Kids got to learn somehow 😂

[@mattcranmer5238]

Grew up in an old house with solid doors. Slammed the door as my little brother was running behind. His pinkey was in the hinge side and got split down to the first knuckle.

[@calvinelias5439]

Thanks so much,this is more of an entrance door to me, it looks smart and humble. Let me share this with my dad who is a carpenter. just allow us to replicate it😂

[@FB-111A]

You are a great craftsman

Less is absolutely more. Great looking door

[@daniellarrabee9741]

Nailed it!!! Beautiful work and design.

[@The_HomeHandyman]

Looks super nice!

[@larrylotter7190]

I really enjoy your videos. I keep thinking that if somebody like you can make it, maybe there is still hope for me.

[@jeradmiller4575]

Your best work yet!

[@tdmallet]

Outstanding as always.

[@marshallmurrell4583]

Beautiful door. All that weight is going to require more than two sturdy hinges.

[@thomasalison6188]

Turned out great!

[@michiganporter]

If you can lay doors flat you can brush on an excellent finish. No need for the sprayer

[@damianokon6209]

This door speaks quality!!! Easily a 2k door!!!

[@andylowry8439]

Very very nice, excellent workmanship, that is a very cool bead well done on a job well done 😁

[@johnthebimmerman1406]

Fantastic work, and having the right tools is also vital. I have 17 doors in my house, no way I could justify over 400 bucks per door. The hollow cores will have to stay. 😢

[@ag_usa2544]

But how many hinges to handle this beautiful and HEAVY door ?!

[@TheSeriesofTubes]

That’s a 4 hinge-r for sure

[@jeffreybrookes9731]

You have every right to brag, that is one beautiful piece of Millwork!! Could you make a door like that for a customer for less than $1,000?

[@MrRadtech22]

Beautiful door man!

I agree. Less is more. Great job!!!

Are you not worried about those miters opening up? Especially as the wood moves. Just curious

Confused me as well.

With as heavy as that door is I strongly urge you to use a hardwood for the frame.
