[@dokmanian]

hi Scott great job on building that door frame but wondering do you have any codes on how it have doors open in my area all doors inside or exterior have to open into room so nothing blocks it incase of fire. Thank you

[@kizzjd9578]

How are you liking the makita L class vacuum on the drop saw? Ive just ordered the M class one but something like that would be good for small timber work.

[@geewhiz5050]

The tiny square did come in handy

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

And in more ways than I thought

[@steinarholstad9964]

in norway we use folding rulers for almost everything. mostly Hultafors rulers, the good thing about the Hultafors rulers is that they sell them with the length of 240cm. most of the rooms in normal houses dont go above 240 due to codes and module messurements, so its nice to have the extra 40cm.

Ha ha. Can I ask you a question because I'm thinking about this. Are you an atheist? I get alot of joy from you. Because you are a Fellow Sentient Human Being. And we are KIN. There is a certain LAW in the universe. The law of good behavior that guides all our actions and thoughts in relation to actions in Life, circumstances, relationships . The law of friendship. that means we are feeling we are in our complete purposefulness when we are united in the gathering with friends.

whats your hinge jig you use? love the simple design of it

How many tools do you need. Just one more .......... Question what hinge jig are you using, thanks

[@JohnMcGuinnessScotland]

As a keen and fairly accomplished DIY'er in Scotland who suffered at the hands of a cowboy builder in the past, I find your videos entertaining, informative, and therapeutic. So thanks on all accounts.

[@MsElijah16]

Come ooonnn 100k subs !!

[@ouagadougou62]

How much gap do you leave on exterior doors? I left only 5 mm but had to bring it to 8 mm a year later after the door swelled too much and was hard to open. Thanks

[@myRefuge3710]

Whoa. 8:00 Where can I buy that door hinge jig? But yet again, great freaking work. Here in America, they dont appreciate craftsmanship anymore. I'm glad you're out there setting it square.

[@West3720]

Scott did you ever do any metal stud framing?

[@orangemozzie]

What was that router guide you used on the door hinges?

[@zeevzafrin3314]

Hi, love your videos! Is there a link in a description for your hinge jig and Japanese pull saw? Thank you 😊

[@philsg13]

Some shiney new cactus pants, how good?!

[@884manal]

do you have the heavy duty or the light heavy duty dewalt table saw? not sure what one to go for, about $400 different in price

[@sofloexoticlife798]

Why did you use the Japanese saw instead of the miter? Just curious to know if there is a method behind that that I don’t understand

[@bartnettle]

How do you like the Tough Built compact foldable horses

[@ameerahme]

What's the name of that particular jig clamp? Do they come in different sizes for different size hinges?

[@robertneale7326]

Hey Scott, I noticed you were using those foldable steel work horses, what do you think of them? I also noticed a piece of plywood attached to the top, what's with that?

[@thriveimagedesign]

Robert Brauer I was just headed to Bunnings to grab a pair of the toughbuilt c700, they look pretty sturdy. I’m guessing the plywood is there just in case you slightly over cut / drill etc. Hitting timber instead of steel will save your blade/bit 👍🏻

[@rayana4250]

Hi Scott, quick question, are you a minimalist?

[@kyalftw]

Hey mate, where'd you get the hinge jig from? Cheers

[@BrentDarlington]

What is the Smoko Time music from? It's driving me crazy, I can't figure it out Haha Video game or something

[@grzegorzwesolowski676]

Hi Scott

[@AwesomeKazuaki]

What Is the pen at 4:55 ??!! when I do an under 1mm work I use a ruling pen, but the pen looks like very useful.

[@EmBotBeepBeep]

Are the hinges constructed so you can’t just pop the pins out? I’d be worried that having the hinges on the outside would make it really easy for somebody to just remove the door if they wanted to break in.

[@michaelplays2449]

How many tools do you need ? Great question, i buy tools to reward or treat myself, bought a lot of tools this year as i live in Ireland and lots of people here feel that Brexit when GB leaves the EU will cause items to increase, found Amazon to be good value on most items coupled with a good exchange rate a few weeks ago , bought Makita trim router because seen it used on your videos great tool

[@kevinmoore2506]

Need more videos

[@surfsydney]

Hey Scotty what brand of hinge jig is that?

[@davidmoseley6896]

What are the done screwdriver you use in your impact driver

[@richdensem6414]

"How many tools do you need?" Try and find a Silex Butt Gauge, perfect for swinging doors in rebated jambs. There must be heaps in Auckland, sitting in old guys garages.

[@richdensem6414]

@@JT-pc5kp www.thewoodworks.com.au/blog/38-butt-gauge-available-again It sets where the hinge goes on the side of the door and gives a perfect clearance.

[@UKRussellSmith]

Really like the look of that hinge jig. Have you got more info on it please, I’d like to buy one for work.

[@vespagd67]

Same here would be very handy

[@icarpentry8739]

@@vespagd67 i still find a fence on a trimmer/router is more efficient than that jig. We used a similar jig out of ply wood and found the set up was too long when it came to hinging 300 doors . in the end you still have to chisel the corners and you will find you have more control if you use only a fence.

Where did you jet your hinge jig from

[@MrTooTechnical]

cool music,. sil pans baby. lates

[@Alex-rq9jj]

Does it not worry u that the door is an exterior door and it opens going out? People have access to the door latch, unless r u planing on putting a steel plate to protect it form people tampering with the latch and deadbolt to try and break in.

[@joshuajay6549]

hey scott, what was that grey looking template use used for routing out the door hinges

[@bg73]

It's a grey hinge template. You answered your own question :)

[@TheDarkie89]

Hi Scott, you dont have premade doors/doorframes in NZ ? in Scandinavia we use premades, where all you need to do is to level it and make sure its diagonal when you install it , seems like alot of work , interesting work but still ^^

[@locominyana8916]

Diagonal......like ../...? Lol

Yeah we usually use premade, it worked out a bit better cost wise to out this one together though

Thanks scott top man

[@michaelgulo6014]

Question how long did this take?

[@stich1960]

In the US even if we want a custom door we usually havee it built to order and then the "builder" installs it pre hung. Is it differant over there? Same in the UK also?

[@stich1960]

Also I know you guys ate really super insulated over there, I was surprised not to see insulation gaps, foam around outside perimeter (maybe you would do this later) and no caulk or adhesive used as a sealent in the frame joints. (Not trying to put you down because I know your quality, just interesting to see you do things so differantly from us over here)

[@stich1960]

Inquiring minds need to know, anyone else know?

[@ginglyst]

8:36 how come your door hinges are square? (all hinges in my house have the rounded corner as a router bit)

[@zaneh6224]

Because your doors are mass produced and were made by a machine that uses a router bit to make the cutout, squared hinges are hand fitted and look much better

[@egonmilanowski]

Thanks for answering the questions about the folding rule! I like having one for smaller projects and using the tape measure for larger projects. I also like using the folding rule to make a star. My younger nieces and nephews get a kick out of that.
