You guys at A&E have created a monster with Pete haven’t you? He’s taking over the channel isn’t he? Absolute top man, love watching his videos

[@jethrof3462]

Pete has helped me no end with my build. But when he had that dust mask on his head like a party hat had me in stitches! 😆😆

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Loved the party hat Pete . Can we all wear them in Monday for our final day 😆🧱👍🏽

[@fireblaster9961]

Used the trend jig probably when it first came out in 2000 but since then now use my sabuer mortise jig, any lock or latch and hardly any bits to loose, plus you can mill out the lock once you’ve hung the door in place, not rally a big fan of keep taking the door off the hinges once hung it

[@marknadin770]

Nice one Pete👍👍🍺🍺

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks Mark! 👍

[@colinlivall9591]

Everything is always so well explained in your videos, I’ve been looking at hinge and lock jigs, now you’ve made my mind up, new toys coming my way. 😜👍

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

Great job Pete 👍🏻! And top tool tips 👍🏻👍🏻

[@iantarncarpentry4285]

Get in Pete! I like watching you work, keep up the good videos! 💪🏻

[@Deidera1997]

The man is a master

[@bobmartin5101]

Hi Pete. Nice Pete. Thanks Pete.

[@scottyenzo]

Can't beat good old fashioned way though 💯

[@richardbood4795]

Top video and top job..👍🏻 Well done Pete..😀

[@Blood-pack]

These are great videos, can’t wait for the next one… 👍👍👍

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video, thanks !!!

[@Ultimate-roofing-square.]

Nice work Pete. The lock jigs help make a very neat finish especially on a veneered door. If you have any movement between the metal plates and the main body of the Trend lock jig then a piece of insulating tape over the edge does the trick. 👊🏻.

[@garyquinn9432]

On that type of door i always think the lock and handles should go on the mid rail looks better than half way down but just my opinion

[@ehudmigdan]

Thank you good sir

[@christophermclaren6119]

The way to never lose the screws,,,when taking the door of ,put the screws back in the screw holes on the door frame,,,simples,,,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@corcoransullivan1562]

I’ve worked on many of these old fashioned handles and always marveled at the amount of work it would have taken to install one. Are these common where you are? Are you in England?

[@Benzknees]

Could do with tips for when the fitting doesn't go quite so well & you need to adjust things!

[@viankalobosvalenzuela7456]

Excelente video 👍 👏 👌🏻 🙌

[@BuildWithAE]

Thank you for watching Vianka! 👍

[@jakeboyle11]

Great video Pete really helpful what router I like the look of it

[@DerekTJ]

A tip from me: on doorknobs, sometimes the grubscrew can work loose over time. My fix is to file or cut an "x marks the spot" where the screw hits the thru-bolt - it allows the screw to bite better. Great work btw.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Derek much appreciated great shout thanks for sharing your tips that’s what I love about KZbin it’s really important that we share tips and knowledge all the best Tony 👍

[@DerekTJ]

@Build With A&E Thanks for the reply - would hire you guys in a heartbeat if you were in Dublin. 👍🏻

[@dickdoc3337]

Interesting thank you "Carbon Footprint" on chisels that a new one never heard that before. And yes you may be correct about better quality steel on older chisels or higher carbon. Company i knew used to take down old steel frame factories for a price. The price would change depending on the carbon content better scrap value. Not sure why they do not use "Removable Pin Hinges" saves finished doors from getting damaged. while work is still going on each to their own of course. Must be hardest thing to do video yourself for all to have a go. "One Man's Meat Is Another Man's Poison" as they say..... Nice work well done

[@Pj-yy2my]

great vid will this jig do the tubular latch as well or just mortise locks thanks

[@morganskinner3863]

Nice work - one question though. Where did the door handles come from? I like the pattern and they would fit well in our house. Thanks!

[@freddieleethompson3536]

Seen so many bad reviews on that jig I gave up hope of having one.

[@conradsmith7752]

Be Warned! To use this jig you need to use a 1/2 inch deep depth router that plunges min 80mm with long bit, otherwise it's not going to go deep enough. Very few routers can do this. Really only suitable for use with the Trend router used in this video

[@jurek374]

nice joob

[@I-am-not-a-number]

That is not an MDF core, it is Chinese farmyard sweepings.

[@yourmasterrenovator86]

Is this an advertisement or showing how to? 🤷‍♂️
