How I build a Solid Wood Entry Door

[@ROBERTGOSHEY]

I for the life of me can't understand why you don't have one million subscribers. As always, beautiful work from an absolute professional, full of tips and reasons why you do thing is a certain, smart way. I"m old so I do enjoy and Dad and "the mighty" jokes! I always enjoy your videos a lot, even though I am no woodworker in any way, I'm retired so maybe I enjoy watching OTHER people work. PS get some anti-splinter gloves, ouch!

[@jporterfield]

I agree about the subscriber comment. Been watching Mike for years and he unsurpassed in creativity and craftsmanship!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you for the kind words. Yeah, I wish my channel would do better, it has been slowly dying for the last few years. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, maybe I'll crack the code one of these days.

[@marcelo403polo2]

that's you tube for you novedays.. Same way they count views. And that's on all channels I am subscribed. few years ago all the sudden views dropped everywhere from few hundred views to like 10-20K views. Even on Mikes channel now, 224K subs and only 14K views. All gets manipulated, I bet to not pay more$$ to creators

[@Aaron-nj4ou]

Honestly I believe the reason is most likely Mike’s skillset is so far ahead of a DIYer and many pros that the projects seem unattainable. That rebuild on the planer was absolutely awesome. I have learned so much from these videos. I agree he deserves over a million subs.

[@TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

​@MikeFarrington youtube unfortunately punishes those who don't post on a very regular basis. Looks like you average about 1 per month. The people posting weekly get the most attention. But regardless... I literally watch every video so please never quit 😁

[@BWreSlippySlope]

KZbin has gone downhill on DYI but this was a masterclass. You touched on so much as you made the video and awesome that you included why you did it. Someone who knows his materials. Love the tools. I use My big radial saw often. Can't beat the power and the height of the cut.

[@MikeFarrington]

Wow, thank you!

[@Rubbernecker]

It's great to see another video of yours! You are unbelievably talented. I've been woodworking for 50 years and I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for that!!!!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you, that is a very kind compliment.

[@louisevad6091]

Nice doors. I custom built wood doors for 20 years during my 40 year wood working career.. 100s of custom wood exterior doors. Only veneered a couple doors similar to your technique. Never had a shop or even clamps as good as yours. It would have made it easier. I started out using 2 1/2" dowels with a custom doweling jig. Most of the time I used a lap joint construction and gradually transitioned to a Top Lamello biscuit joiner. Two rows of biscuits passed my shop strength test out performing the dowels and were way faster and way positively accurate. I would never build an exterior door for someone that didn't have proper overhang or hidden direction from the prevailing weather. Wood doors cannot survive direct exposure no matter how you build it. I know of some doors in use today that are forty years plus that are still in great shape. Watching you brings back memories. I'm retired now and just have some hobby wood working tools. Your doors look fantastic. A quality custom door is statement to any home.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much for sharing. Sounds like you did well for yourself.

[@terryhastings1553]

Haha. Good to hear you liked it.

[@andrewr2650]

you know technically the saying is just "run around with my hair on fire". It doesn't specify where the hair is located, so unless there is some serous time being spent manscaping there is likely some hair somewhere that could be on fire. 😁

Very cool! I worked in a custom door shop for 5 years, I never made my own core though! The front shop had a finger jointer and an rf gluer, they made all the pine block core. One thing we did for knotts on alder and cherry, we used coffee grounds mixed with a clear glue, I don't actually remember the glue now! But it really made a natural appearance to the knot

[@MikeFarrington]

Cool tip. Thank you.

[@nathanielsnyder1511]

This is just plane ol kick ass Woodworking content. Its got it all Vacuum bagging, shop sawn veneer, big M&T joinery. Door building is so cool they came out freaking beautiful. Now I wanna get in my shop and build us a new entry way door 😂

Thank you very much. Yup, door building is super fun.

[@mateostabio]

Love seeing the entire process of this door. I really want to do this and thought it would be way too complicated. But I think I’m able to. Just gonna be a little hard with just a table saw 😆

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much. This project would be doable with a Table saw, small joiner, planer, and router for sure.

This is the first time I have had a suggestion for your content. Well worth the watch. You have a nice shop with lots of tools that have left me in aw. Great job on explaining why you did the different things. I didn't know that the core was a different wood in exterior doors. I'm subscribed

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much. The core can be the same lumber or different, maybe factors will determine that decision. In this case, it was to reduce weight, and cost, white oak is very expensive around here.

[@David-Reed]

@MikeFarrington I am trying to put together a small shop in my garage to start doing some woodworking. I'm disabled and on a fixed income. Doing it one tool at a time, used or new. I want to build small stuff that goes along with my wife's air plant business. Someday, I would like to build us two different bedroom sets so we can hand them down someday to our 2 adult children. Maybe build some things for the grandchildren, too. Thank you for your great instruction

[@richardnwilson]

Great video thank you! You have a great understanding of wood and its properties and how to build an excellent door. I only have one suggestion and that would be to prefinish the door panels before glue up so that when they shrink they won't expose unfinished wood. Prefinishing the panels also helps prevent the panel from being glued by fnnish into the dados.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. That is a good idea.

[@sixpotshot]

[@kmparadice6254]

The methodic pace with which you construct your project is stunning. Your work is beyond the woodworking stage, easily into the art form range. Your attention to detail - I am certain - is greatly appreciated by your customers. Doubtless you've heard this, but your voice is definitely "Golden Mike" quality (pun intended). If you need time off from woodworking, try doing some voice-overs

Thank you very much!

[@SonsOfThunder229]

I like how you used the domino to make the shelf and didnt use it on the joinery for the door. 😊

The only problem I have with you Mike is that your videos are too far apart, like Christmas and Thanksgiving. However - just like my favorite holidays - your videos are well worth the wait. This video was no exception, it was a wonderful treat to share with my son. Thank you very much. You have a shop full of beautiful machinery and you sure know how to use them. Unlike others you have a radial arm saw and you use your bandsaw for ripping. Good for you - you are a smart man. Keep up the great work you are loved at my house. Art & Joshua from Ohio

[@mark_leonardjackson]

Mike, as you're an absolute wizard of tips and tricks, this one may come as no news to you...but just in case. A variation on your two step cut to help with tear-out on the grooves. Run the first shallow pass as a climb cut. Then run the cut to full depth in the conventional direction. This has gotten me out of trouble rebating some particularly poorly behaved wood. And the climb cut will be nothing but fun with your slick looking power feeder!

[@MikeFarrington]

Yeah, I could have just climb cut the whole deal. I was trying to show an approach that would work with a router table.

[@Joe___R]

Large cvg boards can be difficult to find in most wood species, and if they are sorted as such, you will definitely be paying quite the premium for it. For something as important as a front door, it is worth it to spend the extra time and money to get the best material possible for it. When it is something that will always be seen by the owner and it is also the first thing greeting guests, you don't want any flaws, if at all, avoidable. I have installed a fair amount of solid oak doors, and one that size would likely be between 180lb and 200lb. They are only an issue if you don't install the hinges with structural screws well into the framing instead of just into the door frame. They are almost too heavy to carry on your thumb to hang them.

[@MikeFarrington]

Around here, with the insane building boom, I just don't have access to what I would consider good lumber for an entry door. The larger shops order tons and get priority over my tiny operation. Yes, good hinges and screws are a must.
