[@Ray-hg3ie]

Borrow someone's screwdriver....don't use your own as a center punch ! ha ha Love it. Enjoy watching your videos. Picked up some great tips.

[@BrentDarlington]

Thanks for watching, I found my punch as soon as I stopped looking for it! haha

I love the pocket door. It is suck a clean look when the door is opened (out of sight!). You are so right, I need to get better at measuring as I am still running up and down after each cut. (lol) Nicely done video!!

[@John.Paulis]

I’m really thinking about adding a pocket door in my bathroom. I think I have just enough room that it should work

[@BrentDarlington]

Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@LonghornWorkshop]

You are providing some great content man. Thanks for sharing your knowledge...

[@BrentDarlington]

Thank you very much! All the best to you in the new year!

[@MikeTheMaker1]

Exactly what I’m about to do in a friends house. Thanks for the video.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Those 7 1/4” Kobalts are great little job site saws! Great video man!

[@BrentDarlington]

I'm so tired of lugging around a 12" so I picked it up on sale. I wish it would tilt both ways. Might have to upgrade to the Milwaukee 7 1/4. Thanks!

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Does the Milwaukee tilt both ways?

[@BrentDarlington]

Yes but it's battery powered only which drives the price up. The kobalt is 10% of the price.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Wow! I’ll stick with the Kobalt!

Your chanell in the right way bro.. this can be bigger👍👍👍

[@BrentDarlington]

Thanks!

[@klemorxhannel8116]

You have skills, and tools equipment All u need to do is upload every day

[@BrentDarlington]

Lol I wish I had the time! Maybe one day. Hard enough to get one a week

[@J1WE]

I believe the door sticks out a bit so you can grab it??

[@BrentDarlington]

Nope, there is a latch to grab on the handle to open it. Door should be flush with the jambs.

Im planning on a pocket door for my bathroom, and your comment about that being a bad idea has me concerned. What precautions should i take? This is a 1909, lathe and plaster situ and we cant cuss a cat in there with the swinging door. And is there some way to tell if it is a weight-bearing wall if we cannot get into the attic? Wait, we can get into the basement, so i guess that wd tell me, huh? Anyhow, thanks for a very understandable vid. I'm pretty green when it comes to this stuff (as in inexperienced, not ecological) and appreciate your logical, common sense ways. PS - i will be re-using the original, solid wood door unless you think it is a bad idea. Any thoughts?

[@BrentDarlington]

I would have an engineer out too look before you remove any walls

[@philbo65]

Why did you leave the bottom door guides sticking out or did you just not show how to mount them behind the trim?

[@BrentDarlington]

It looks nice to put them behind the jamb but a nightmare to adjust if you need to, so I usually put the on the outside of the jamb.

[@msenecal]

I like your choice of music. Based on your tat I assume you are a musician.

[@BrentDarlington]

Thanks! Yes, mainly guitar. I'd like to get back out a gig once this covid stuff is over!

[@darwinvasquezoquendo7405]

How much did you charged for that complete job?

[@BrentDarlington]

It would probably be $4000 CAD plus tax

[@andrerodriguez8132]

Looks great! What size pocket door is that?

[@BrentDarlington]

Thanks, it's a 32" which is code in this area for a laundry room

[@Griffith4KS]

Can you tell use the brand of the kit you bought.

[@BrentDarlington]

Hi Bill, I used this one from Lowes in Canada. The hardware it comes with is all made by Stanley. www.lowes.ca/product/pocket-door-frames/pocket-door-frame-with-hardware-for-common-size-32-in-x-80-in-door-slab-54414
