Nice work and nice music! Thanks for sharing.

Not necessarily a how to, but a great video anyway. I didn't see how you made the pockets for the louvers. I assume the router but interested in how your setup was with those angles.

[@HandCraftChannel]

Hi, there is another video with a jig to make that pockets, hope you enjoy it too :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5mrpImdaLqfo7s

God damn it that vintage look which kind of stain is that, it's perfection mate

[@HandCraftChannel]

I think the key of this nice look is the alder wood I used. For finish I used clear varnish spray, then some sanding and final - dark patina varnish, it's kind of varnish you need to wipe out very quickly after coating before it finally dry, so the most of color will leave only in scratches and dents. After patina - any wax paste for brighter colors. That's it :)

[@takiclintonharness1449]

Thanks a lot my friend. I was wondering if you can make a chair and finish it the same way, cause it would remind you of the old bourboun days, plus it would match that door, Good job for real.

[@HandCraftChannel]

I'll need some chairs for my island kitchen table soon, if I have some time, will try to build my own rather then buying

[@user-ef1mf2ig8c]

Молодец , всё очень качественно!!!

[@gallop8499]

Hello, can you tell me how much room you allowed for spacing between doors so they would swing well. Thankyou!

[@HandCraftChannel]

good question, I was planning to leave about 5mm gap, but mixed up a little and now have about 15mm spacing but it still works and looks pretty good also, as my friend noticed, this bigger size spacing is more safe for fingers :)

[@danbirch8939]

Really great craftsman! Almost a lost art now-a-days, with China and the big box stores. Congrats!

[@HandCraftChannel]

thanks Dan!

[@erindav1]

Could you tell me where you got the hinges from?

[@HandCraftChannel]

Hi, I bought it at local seller, but I saw exactly same on aliexpress, just search for "double side hinges"

[@valfridopereira6037]

boa noite você não mostrou como fez as canaletas para as ripinhas !

[@HandCraftChannel]

hey, did you see this video ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5mrpImdaLqfo7s must be the answer to your question

[@user-yu2br5is6v]

Дерево какое?

[@natedogg9696]

You're not really showing me how to make one

[@gustavoquispesalgado4516]

like si te quedastes viendo solo por la musica

[@infantryblack]

If you would stop to explain what is going it it would be a “how to” but this is watch me make this door.

[@jaromejacksan6934]

Woodglut has a very large project base.

[@hafzamacie8858]

Stodoys plans is a good solution for every woodworker.

[@figueredoruley8050]

I heard very good opinions about the Woodglut plans.

[@maximusaugustus6823]

you abruptly ended video too quick and we did not get a chance to see the finished product, wasted time.
