Man, this is some complicated sh*t. I'm really impressed that you had the gonads to tackle this project and the mad skills to pull it off so perfectly.

I have made door panels like this before, so I knew going into it what to expect. But, I agree of all the woodworking tasks I've done this is easily one of the longer and most involved processes.

Great to see how you work and order your stages. I'm so glad you showed the drill bits skipping - I've often thought it was my bad aim even with brad points but nice to see it's a common problem. Thanks for sharing your work HB.

Nice results. Gotta admit, a shaper and mortiser would do you well.
@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks9 ай бұрын
I have a mortiser. I sometimes just like to show that some tasks can be accomplished without expensive tools. Hence why I choose to use a drill to make mortises. A shaper would be a time saver for this project, but I have no plans to get into the door making business, and wouldn't have much use for it after that. Realistically speaking I barely even use my router table with the work I get. This is a barter build, so it doesn't have a set timeline. I am able to work on it in bits and pieces, so if some tasks took a little longer it didn't really matter on my end for this one.

I am sure this video will be an eye opener to some people as it shows just how much work goes into making a set of doors, they are turning out great and will look fantastic, had no idea about heat and Titebond 3 which is something think about as I use it a lot because of the extended open time due to the heat we have here a lot if the year 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks9 ай бұрын
The Titebond issue was news to me as well. French doors like this are hands down one of the more involved and harder things I’ve made. Especially start to finish with weather stripping, install, hardware etc etc.

Nice production. I had never heard about the Titebond glue doing that either. Always a learning experience is available. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia.

It was news to me as well. I had a gut drop moment after reading that trying to rack my brain about all the exterior projects I've done, and what direction in the sun's path they are facing.

The cost of the bit is minimal compared to the extra effort and time required for the extr work and once you have it you will sure as hell use it again! I bought a 3/8 cmt bit online for 15 bucks well worth it to get a job done! Looking good! Just remember unless it's a by the hour job theore time cuts into your profit! Time is money and that's the only thing you have! I love it when people say you can't count all your time! Nice job!

I was going to buy another bit. But, I could not find this profile in a coping bit. This is a barter build, so tracking time isn't an issue on this one. I work on it in bits and pieces in-between my customer projects.

Hi HB, as per usual, well done, this brings back memories, Since I’ve started making doors and windows long these similar lines, I was very lucky as I had some serious projects , I think you might like my machinery that is sitting in my basement, Wadkin EKA , though this machine is very old when I purchased it around 20 years ago, I stripped it and had it rebuilt with new bearings et cetera in the motors, I picked the machine up for £1000, but it cost another 4 to £5000 by the time I had rebuilt it and brought all the new modern to for it, Leitz , Then the tooling set to go onto the spindle mould/profile machine, of course, nowadays, if you are in mass production work, most of this work is now done on the CNC machine, keep up the great work. Stay safe.,

@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks I have been very lucky with my work over the years, but not very good with my ex female partner as she had scammed me, back the early 2000s, I was lacking on space for my workshop, I could not build a workshop on the premises that we owned, so I ended up renting a property and old farm building on a massive farm complex, the downside was it was about 11 miles away from where, I did end up doing five bar conversions plus a load of renovation work for the farm , this is the main reason why I bought some very expensive equipment, a lot of it paid for itself within two or three months, some of the biggest equipment probably took a year or so to recoup the money, but well worth it in the end, Good luck with yours look forward to the next stage of your door project,

Wow. Super tricky build. I wonder if doing the muts first and then do the rails and stiles might be slightly easier. I say that because dialing in the correct length on the muts is tough because of the complicated profiles on the ends. Seems like it’s easier to dial in the length of rails and stiles to fit the muts. Just a thought.
@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks9 ай бұрын
I think order of operations most times is personal preference in woodworking. But, I personally have never seen someone build a door from the inside out. I think doing the mutts first would present a whole other set of math and dimensioning to deal with.

Small bottles of JB Weld two part epoxy is in every Home Depot.
@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks9 ай бұрын
I don’t care for JB weld epoxy, I prefer DAP. And that’s five minute epoxy. I needed a long open time on the epoxy so I have enough time to align all my pieces and get them clamped. Also, with the amount I need to glue the doors together it would have been more expensive to buy small bottles. Once it’s all said I done I will have used 3/4 of that kit.
