How to Build a Door that LASTS and looks Great?

[@vaughnrossi3245]

this is the best video on the internet to learn how to make doors well. Hands down. look no further. listen to no one else.

[@billk8780]

Brent, As a materials engineer, I just love your attention to them and the mechanics of construction! Many, many thanks for the excellent tutorials!

[@MrMrremmington]

If I had it to do over again, this is the kind of stuff that catches my passion. Great video Brent thanks

[@kitsurubami]

When I searched youtube this evening for "building a door" I did not expect to find such a detailed, well made, highly educational video. Honestly I'm blown away.

[@Hugo25920]

You can leave that to Brent

[@gregellis589]

LITERALLY THE SAME EXACT THING

[@classifiedinformation6353]

I have restored a small building built in1920. There are plenty of Craftsman details. It has a door that is smaller than today's standard measurments. The door is pretty much unrestorable, so I will be building a replacement. Thanks fot the eductional video. Subscribed! John. Bethel, Missouri. USA

[@tvolz40]

ive watched this a few times, very important info for someone who wants to build doors for a living

[@zacharyseybert7557]

True craftsman. Great video.

[@samuellourenco1050]

Great video! Explained with detail.

[@aeonstar5867]

Thankyou for this content! I truly appreciate your knowledge, a true skilled craftsman.

[@Casper_Espresso]

Nice to get some history.

[@arzawood]

My mind is blowing...🙏

[@wenceslaobunge6557]

Best video i ve seen in a looooooooooooong time. Could you perhaps recommend some further reading? Thank you very much, sir

[@mandi5417]

Fascinating, thank you!

[@siwood1981]

I get the ideology behind the faceted pegs for Mortise & Tenon, but how are you not damaging the surface holes as your driving in the square portion of the pegs? Visually, your faceted ends would show a loose fit in the drilled holes. Would you putty those peg ends once seated and flushed up with the rail surface? Hmmmm....

[@TheSalazara]

I am not a carpenter, but damn this was an interesting video.

[@ИгорьКвашнев-о6п]

Ok!

[@YuriyKhovansky]

This time I will do it manually with the help of woodglut designs.

In today's disposable society, we're very fortunate to have people who still desire quality craftsmanship and the skilled trades people who know how to build it. Very nice job and thanks for the content, you have a new subscriber.

[@weekendwarrior3420]

Everyone desires quality and craftsmanship, only fortunate few can afford it. It's no different today than it was a hundred years ago. People of limited means have cardboard doors today, and had the one at 1:30 a hundred years ago.

[@alejandromazariegos9223]

Let me tell you I do construction I can build doors but is not worth it unless is my own house. Andersen and other companies sell you door already made ready to hang in very inexpensive, those type of doors this guy is making or talking are door for rich people.or people upper middle class that makes good money. Even Andersen are pretty expensive for most of the USA

Just looking to see if I could make my own entry door and stumbled on a master class. Thank you!

[@emilcasas2707]

My God an effing encyclopedic accounting of doors! Blown away!! Amazing content!!!

[@aus71383]

I saw the title and figured the answer would be "with a million dollars worth of machinery in a giant factory" - instead I learned about stave cores. Thank you.

[@Wood_Slice]

Just curious @20:00 you talk about the dowels locking the mortise/tenon together. How about a DRAW-BORE method? Would that work with a dowel same size as the hole?

[@ericslater9666]

And/Or a tapered dowel.

[@rushbayou5230]

wow... u opened doors for me and a window of opportunity to build mine successfully ;)

[@steari]

I wish more people making videos on wood working had the kind of thorough knowledge and understanding that you do. Thank you so much

[@SoundsLikeZach]

Man, incredibly detailed and fascinating information. You’ve really opened some new doors for me!

[@baxodirergashboyev94]

[@freaknoid123]

Thanks Brent! I have an Amish friend who builds doors. Only doors. He says he doesn't build doors... he does art and they happen to be doors. I'm going to show him this video and see his reaction.

[@baxodirergashboyev94]

kzbin.info/door/etKTntSyrQs0g2yP4QHz5g

[@rickhissen1904]

Good info on doors but you should offset hole in tenon for drawbore with square peg

[@CaedmonOS]

If I'm correct what you're describing is using the peg not only to hold the door in place but also to pull it together

[@AWFarmer]

This is a great 'history of technology' for doors.

I start my first carpentry job tommorow at a custom door and window company

[@gavinfeargrieve4874]

What a great educational video! Thank you soo much for taking the time to put this together . I have a small shop and have been building solid hardwood projects for a number of years, including doors. For the most part, I'm self taught and I definitely learned a few things as well as raised a few questions!

[@eddiereyna2998]

I’m from San Antonio and I truly enjoyed the amount & the way ya shared the history of proper door building. I was on a REFORGER exercise in Germany and we were stopped in a ole small town & we met a Panzer unit & we were Redlegs . So , I had asked about a ole looking house as our group was walking to the Gasthaus and the Sgt of the Panzer told me that the numbers of the house weren’t the address but the year it was built, so it was built around the 1400 ‘s . It had wonderful looking doors . I think when I have more money I’ll do my due diligence and order the wood as ya explained and I do have a question about the selection of woods that one might use . What are your top recommendations for an exterior door and for it be a mixture of the styles that ya covered and would a mesquite veneer be possible ? Thanks 🙏

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

This is a great detailed video! I feel I now completely understand how to make a good solid wood door. I have two questions: The Veneer on the stave core, does it matter the cut type? ie. Can it be flat sawn? Type of wood. Are we talking the hardness and rot resistance of the wood? My current options are construction grade SPF or my own Birch. I might be able to find a maple log to cut.

[@robertkeyes258]

I live in northern Maine. We don't get much heat in summer, but we do get a lot of humidity - so, swelling is an issue. In the winter, it gets cold. I am wondering if that French dual-panel design would be appropriate for this climate. Another issue I am concerned with is heat transference. I'd like to make a thicker door out of a wood with a high R-value. Can anyone offer me some advice on this?

[@woodymiller3895]

Wow that was a great video on doors and door history. We just bought an old home from 1886. What a great lesson.

[@tylernero6671]

I'm glad to know me just buying some woodworking tools and winging it is 1880s technology with titebond 3

[@larsvanbeurden5332]

Real top video. lots of info. A door is the way whats in the mind of people who life there...........

[@josephlathrop1914]

that is because you drawbore a Mortise and Tenon and modern glues don't last 50 years there are hide glue pieces that are 300 year old and more

[@shakejones]

great video + explanation! well done mate! thanks for sharing!

[@natrone23]

Why shouldn’t I just buy a metal door? No expanding or contracting issues.

[@jaxturner7288]

Metal does the job just fine, each his own. Some people are happy and comfortable living in a pole barn with a tin roof and roll up doors.

[@timothydillon6421]

I prefer thermally broken fiberglass for exterior but the gravity of a solid wood door can't be, well, keep your stick on the ice.

[@harvestcrops3983]

Aye,Tony. Wooden doors? Come on.

[@pbamma]

The one and only KZbin video that I took notes on! Cheers!

[@PottersPorch]

Wow! Awesome instructions and knowledge given. Thank you for sharing your experience! New Subscriber.

[@thekalevar]

I used to think doors are just on plane of wood, and I knew it’s not that simple. This taught me a lot

[@turtlemouth]

7:10 - I love that door. I've spent my life referring to that style as the "private detective" door.

[@maciejfassa4394]

They do look great. I just want to leave a small note, a good company for modern doors is Dako.

[@MirroredInMud]

“Which really aren’t a door in my opinion” I like this guy. 😆

[@theredtruckwoodshop2722]

Thanks for the instruction. I plan to make a door and this helped tremendously.

[@Rick-tb4so]

What If you sealed the ends of the boards would that eliminate expansion?

[@peterbeyer5755]

I have a glass and aluminium door that was made along with its frame and adjoining window that is fully sealed when shut. My wife just saw this video and wants a solid wood door, she thinks they are beautiful and have character.

[@theunknownkadath]

I think it's cool to hear about the history and also get a glimpse into how to apply the useful bits today. I'm comfortable with mixing materials to achieve my goals and so I automatically envisioned a metal drip edge on the bottom. Otherwise pretty much solid.

[@15bujo]

Great video,so much informations,so usefull,thanks for your time and effort

[@dlanouette]

Great video! You emphasized wood choice several times. Do you have any resources about wood choices? Especially species selection based on locale and weather.

[@baxodirergashboyev94]

[@matthewlockhart7435]

To choose to build an exterior wooden door that will last 100 years takes money, time, skill but mostly a shift in mindset. Thank you sir for your passion. We are blessed by your decision to share it.

[@lgl_137noname6]

you just opened my mind wide about doors ......

[@mongonius]

He never built a door. 😏

[@marklindemuth2958]

Great video, and thanks for sharing your knowledge! Soooo, how is the weep hole integrated into the design of the door? Where does the water exit, under the moulding?

[@number6396]

Amazing! Appreciate the history, descriptions, drawings and products. I actually learned something. Thank you.

[@awahlmubdi4372]

Very educational and thanks

[@ernestoesquerra2302]

Any books that you recommend.

[@tlangdon12]

Thanks Brent. I found your video when looking for information on building composite doors. I need a very well insulated door for my parents home, but the style of the door needs to be that of the 1930s! I had already arrived af the idea of a three layer door, an insulated core, with the two outer layers being overlaid versions of a panelled door. It was great to see two layer doors that had been built in history as this validated the idea somewhat. I think an insulated door would be a good solution for the Texas court house with the very wide temperature variations on each side of the door.

[@stephensarkany3577]

I remember seeing a product for wood turners that replaces the moisture in wood with a glycol type of fluid, it is suppose to keep the wood from drying out & cracking.

[@veelut]

wow i had no clue that doors were just floating panels of wood. mind is blown

[@LuisSanchez-wf9zw]

What prevents termites from flying in that weep hole and destroying the door internally? Is it chemically treated besides using a species that repeals insects or do you do something else? Great video!

[@robertcarullo4926]

the Victorian period started in 1820. you should go to Savanna Georgia and do a tour. Yes the industrial age started after the civil war, but the doors your talking about started way before that.

[@cameronbowen4430]

Absolutely incredible explanation! Thank you so much, time to go build a door!

[@brianb9410]

Excellent and interesting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@robertcarullo4926]

Really, How many wood exterior doors are made, and they don't have trip edges. I get why you want to do it, but to say there is drip edges on doors, or you would have water coming in.

Hello, Thank you very much for posting this excellent video on how to build doors that last. I am trying to expand my business into building custom interior doors that will last and this video gave me a lot of ideas. At a time where many of the products on the market is poorly made and hardly last few years, especially when it comes to windows, it is refreshing to watch this video. Thank you again and look forward to watching more videos from this channel. MB

[@mikec7445]

I agree. Great information!!! Please stop with the “ok” in every sentence.

[@CaedmonOS]

I will try my best

[@dal2888859]

This is absolute gold. Very rare to be shown the details by a true craftsman. Planning my 12x6 sliding garage doors build out of wood and I will be utilizing every element you taught on this video. Can't thank you enough.
