I’ve been told that you need to seal both sides or the sun will warp your boards

[@marymigliore3396]

Your Brother was a good helper . The doors look so nice !! The highland cows are looking good !! I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@user-qp7jv5tf4t]

Hello from New Jersey Al & Gina! Go to your brake and take a piece of aluminum and bend a U-shape to make a cap over top of your door. The water is going in between your tongue and groove that’s why it’s buckling. Or build yourself a small overhang right on top the door trim about 6-12 inches overhang. This is coming from an experienced 40 year carpenter! Love Brutus!

[@kevinmcdonald7693]

Hi Al whenever you paint timber you should always paint both sides otherwise it will bow always happens

You could also have stopped them from warping by using angle iron or square tubing to stiffen them.

Good morning, Al and Gina! I enjoy your videos so much. I also enjoy my “I LIKE IT” coffee.

[@johncarter4412]

When I was involved with varnishing boats a few years ago (almost 60) WE always put the varnish in a hot water "bath" to ensure we got thin even coats that penetrated well - Hence the sealer going on better in the hot sun. Ever since then I always use a "Bain Marie" when putting on sealer - It takes about the same time to put on 2 coats of "hot" as one of cold and it gives a MUCH better surface for top coats (and a lot less sanding!)

[@samvalentine3206]

That's a valuable tip! 👍

[@richskidmore6428]

Al. You may want to put a small wooden overhang with a drip on the frame over your barn doors to help stop the rain from getting into the grooves, otherwise it could happen again. If it does and you have to make them again you may want to try only putting half of each tongue in each groove then it will allow for swelling and shrinking

[@BarbaraMcLamb]

I just love Brutus doing all the puppy things.....the digging at the side of the barn was so cute!

Good Morning from Nova Scotia. Your problem with bowing of the wood is caused by the fact that the wood is only sealed on one side. By having only one side sealed, the moisture in the air can get into the other side and cause it to expand.

[@LMGM5]

[@randyrejer4219]

The new doors are much nicer. My question is I don’t remember you sealing the inside of the door. Definitely warpage. Wood may not have been dried enough because they sure did shrink.

[@francrawford3246]

Good morning Lumnah's! The doors look amazing; the black against the grey is a beautiful contrast. Thanks "Al's brother" for all the help. Hope you got some of that yummy pie. Wanted to mention, although you probably already know about giardia, i.e. beaver fever. It's a single cell parasite, often carried in the gut of beaver, thus the name. First you'll see is diarrhea that has a horrible smell; once exposed to the odor you'll never forget. It's easily treatable once diagnosed by the vet. Humans can get it too. With beavers on the property it's a possibility although it's also carried by other animals.

[@jolenegreer5705]

i built large garage doors out of 2x6 with 6 thermo windows and one bowed more that the other. they have been up for about 10 years. when i take them down to scrape and repaint i will reinforce them with angle iron around the the four edges.

[@clarencewiles963]

Looking good, I would think of angle iron, or square tubing as a last resort but. Thumbs up 👍

[@robertmurray1255]

Hello Al and Gina. I believe you used angle iron on the big doors. How are they holding up. Tongue and Grove typically needs to float somewhat for shrinkage. Plywood tends to curve diagonally when it ages. Perhaps an angle iron frame on the backside with some diagonal bracing.

[@BibiFromSpain]

Oh noooo, the dutch doors are gone, l thought the new ones are going to be dutch doors as well. Don't forget to paint the white trim from the red door, you wanted it black too.

[@dougwalk8034]

That burn technique is not new, I used that on many wood projects back in the fifties, it looks especially good on 6 X 6 wood ceiling beams after using a hand grinder to gouge up the wood, also chairs, tables, etc, I used Butchers wax as a sealer while still hot, it gave a beautiful texture to the wood and it lasted forever !

Finishing both sides. Good idea. I hope these don't warp for you. Remember the edges. Chem trails. Yay, compost is working! I saw some steam when you moved it.

[@chrisoakey9841]

doesn't burning plywood destroy the glue? as for the doors, try adding more hinges to the solid doors. sometimes its just weight on hinges.

[@derekbarratt]

Not a good idea Chris. As the doors shrink and change shape when the sap dries out or the wood expands when wet, the extra hinges will stop the wood being able to move and splits will occur. Wooden doors should only ever have two hinges.

[@chrisoakey9841]

@@derekbarratt the wood being sealed shouldn't take on water, but if concerned then all but one set of hinges could be slotted vertically. the expansion will affect 2 hinges as much or more than 3 or more as the difference in angle should cause the same or more angle. assuming binding is your issue, not the door sticking in the door jam. more hinges risks binding if you don't line them up, but extra weight can be dealt with by a stronger/ better hinge, more hinges or an offsetting the weigh like a counterweight. al seems very good at lining things up so i think the easy way for free swinging solid wood doors is less weight on the hinge pins by adding a few extra hinges. or those cool bearing hinges good for 200kg/hinge.

[@derekbarratt]

@@chrisoakey9841 Hi Chris, I obviously didn't explain very well. May I try again please. This is a long term problem. As the seasons change so do the atmospheric conditions. The expansion /contraction takes place widthwise not lengthwise, so verticle slotting wouldn't work. The three hinges would be continually fighting each other. The only time that you see three hinges attached to a door is because the door is made of hardwood and is considerably heavier, and hardwoods are properly stored in an area similar to where they are going to end up for a few weeks before being worked on, to give them a chance to dry out. Something that we all should be doing but never do. When you buy wood you have no idea where that particular tree was grown and is likely to have come from a high humidity area, somewhere where trees grow the quickest and will be full of sap and being kiln dried doesn't always get rid of enough of it. Hope that helps.

[@chrisoakey9841]

@@derekbarratt in australia 3 hinges is standard for exterior doors. and with expansion isn't a hinge issue. it is a framing issue. as for the tree, you are partially correct. but you can get an idea of growth from the rings and weight.

During the Civil War, the longhorn cattle in south Texas were allowed to roam free for four years and some of them grew horns as wide as a man is tall. The men who returned to the ranches after the war had no way of making a living and no money, since the market for cattle was so far away. These innovative cowmen formed the first cattle drives and drove these wild cattle to markets much further north and east.

[@Og-Judy]
