Thanks for the reply Josh..I am enclosing a partial area of a patio to accommodate a sitting room for a severely handicapped person abd I don't have the height to get a regular door there so I'm thinking that I nay have to build one. It will be a sliding exterior for wheelchair access..

[@tonyalangdon763]

what of the door was made to short, is it possible to add a 12 inch extension? 🙁

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

@@tonyalangdon763 lol, we have all been there. Maybe you could edge glue a 6" piece on both the top and bottom to keep the symmetry... I think that may be the least noticeable fix but maybe you will think of something better.

[@tonyalangdon763]

@@JoshWrightWoodworking that makes sense, I'll work on that. I made this shed and doors from skids, would it be possible to share a pic with you. I measure the top board, 7'2", I still did 6'2"

[@johnmcook1]

Look up wobbling the blade its like a dato of sorts. Great job on them doors.

[@johnholder4208]

Pro-tip: as you were assembling the door, you were wiping the glue spill out off, after clamping everything together, let the bead of glue dry then just snap it off later. This will keep you from having to sand to get all the glue smear off and your whole surface will stay plumb. Just a light sanding will clean up where the glue was.

[@garrettp.5018]

Agreed! I learned this the hard way after doing a few glue ups. It is also easier.

[@patrickpreston8424]

You can also use a lightly damp and sponge or rag to wipe it off after you Pin the door

Box fan with a home air filter zip tied to the intake end of it! Got that one from a friend who would stick it by their door and brush their cat in front of it. That cat is larger than a raccoon. And we have some big raccoons in the area

[@yougetagoldstar]

Same as mine, though I did once tape a regular home-vacuum hose to my orbital sander and then twist tie the tape around the dust chute of the sander when I was sanding paint off a door. I sort of had to do that to prevent the paint from clumping onto the sanding disc.

[@MochiMoose]

[@francesjohnson7474]

You have a couple years on me but this female having only the very basic skills and tools is feeling confident now that “she can”!

[@bryansimmons3723]

I have done this before, and it works great. A couple of things you might want to add to your shop to make your life easier is a couple of folding saw horses and a 1/2 pc of plywood to make an offload table, and a rolling stand to feed. I do a lot of stuff on job sites rather than in a shop, so I have had to make do a lot, but anytime you get stuff over 2-3ft long having a little extra support makes it easier, safer, and gives you a better product. But that said I really enjoy both the way you are doing things, and the way you explain them. As a teacher I enjoy watching others that teach, and explain things in a simple understandable way. It doesn't take a genius to make complicated well complicated, but it does take one to simplify things.

[@patlyle2621]

Very nice job Josh. So nice to see such a young man with these skills! Never lose respect for your power tools as you continue to build your skills. Consider always using a push stick no matter what your depth of cut is! My rule of thumb (why I still have two at 73 years old) is to never allow my hand to pass over the blade on my jointer and table saw no matter what the depth of cut is set at. Enjoyed your vid! John

[@cliffgrimes895]

I use that same rule. My dad worked for a man when I was kid that built gazebos. One day the man was cutting a large rabbit in a 4x4 cedar post on the table saw. He was guiding the board over the blade with his hands, not really thinking much of it, I guess, because the blade was only cutting through half the thickness of the board. However, there a really bad knot in the board and when the dado blade hit it , the board pretty much exploded and his hand went right down on the blade. Lost his pinky, ring finger and a quarter of his palm. The stuff of nightmares.

This is exactly what I needed. Unlike a lot of videos out there, you showed us how to build quality doors without expensive specialized tools. I am curious about something. I noticed that you didn't use a planar. Did any of your pieces give you problems with bowing? Excellent camera work and narration, without annoying music and other nonsense.

[@PFirefly06]

I just made one of these myself with a table saw and circular saw in a parking lot on sawhorses. No planer. Just picked 5 super straight kiln dried boards at Lowes. Took 10 minutes to pick out 5, but no issues with bowing, just some cosmetic sanding on a few of the joints by the time I was done.

Great Job & you’ve inspired me to “DO” this! I don’t know about anyone else out there but it bothers me that I don’t have real wood doors! We can build our own and way cheaper than the cheap hollow doors they mostly use today!! Hopefully mom & dad changed their mind on painting them!!!

[@mhughes1160]

Goes to show what you can do with ambition and effort . Great video

[@azurplex]

Dude, I saw a shop vac in there somewhere, adapt that thing to collect your table saw dust to cut down on mess, fire and breathing hazards. I adapt one to connect to every tool I can. You don’t need an expensive dust collection unit with ducts everywhere to benefit. There’s even how tos out there for making a cyclonic first stage out of a trash barrel to increase capacity and help vac filters last longer.

[@finnigan16]

Wonderful job on these doors. Now that it's been about a year since you built them I'd love to know if you have any comments on how they've moved over time? Any issues with expansion or contraction of the solid lumber? any warping as they've dried out?

[@woozy607]

Good question, I would be curious also

[@cmhuffman1986]

I came to the comments to ask this myself, would love to know

[@permaguard3166]

Probably should make sure your using good quality lumber that is dry. A store bought door can warp a Iittle too

Thank you for the video. It is the best woodworking what I have seen. I am planning to make similar door like you. With basic tools what I have. Table saw, cheap plunge router and now circular saw and of course chisels and handsaws. I had some theory how I could do that, but now I seen it in reality, that it is possible. Not just with tools from best toolmakers.

[@kevinwaycaster]

Excellent work. You have some good skills to expand from. I know it’s been said but please consider your shop safety a bit more. I’m mostly concerned with your tablesaw procedures. When cross cutting, try using a miter guide. Even if you don’t need it. Boards can easily get mis-aligned and will catch the blade and kickback. Also wouldn’t ever pass your hand over the sawblade no matter what. Use a push stick even when you don’t “need” it. I saw later in the video you were using a stick and that’s great.

[@John-e4p1x]

He’ll learn 😉

[@brettchevy1870]

I would also add that maybe one of your next projects be a table saw cabinet. There are many examples out there of rolling ones but watching it wobble while cutting made me cringe. Woodworking accidents can change your life. Maybe a shop vac on the dust port after the cabinet as well. Other than that, the doors look awesome. Good work.

[@garybush2671]

You are doing good for a young guy pushing. Keep pushing ! Remember with really good woodworkers, there is no "BOX" . doesn't exist, do not let folks try to drive you into or even tell you the "BOX EXISTS". Always think outside that "box". Your imaginary rules you speak of are a very very good growing tool to keep you looking in all directions for solutions. Woodworking is a series of challenges and all we do is dirscover the solution and apply it ! I like your vertical (Not up and down, ha , nice verbage) solutions. You got it going. Keep at it !!!!

[@pfarabee]

Pretty much the exact doors I'm planning to build. Thanks for the detailed guide! Gonna try to tackle them as both interior doors as well as thinner versions of them as bifold closet doors.

[@TheRaker1000]

10:12 PSA: running wood tight completely between the blade and fence can throw the wood across the room, and if you're in front if it when it happens, like at 10:12, you can impale yourself in the gut. Sometimes you do have to make a cut that's a little unsafe, but stay outta the way of the wood. Google kickback videos you'll see some injuries.

[@TheRaker1000]

those long small pieces of wood become easy spears, too

Well done, as soon as I seen you using your table saw to make your female grooves it took me back to my woodworking days a few years ago.

Hi Josh, you are soooo talented. Thank you for posting and I truly enjoyed watching this video, you have inspired me to us what I have to build the doors I need for my new pantry. Keep up the awesome work.

[@TheJMBon]

Nice job. Only things I'd change are 1) glue the vertical slats to avoid them rattling when the door expands and contracts from temp changes, making the slats looser or tighter as the temp changes. 2) Depending on the use, you may want a sound absorbing core between slats. Ex, a laundry room door would benefit from such a sound absorbing core to dampen the washer sounds. Same for bedroom doors. If doors you make in the future are going to be entry doors, you may want to place some rebar reinforcement around the outer frame and secure it to each outer piece.

[@71youths]

Great job with what you had! Honestly well done. Like everyone commenting I did a lot of wincing when you were at the table saw. One moment I don't think anyone has mentioned is at 1:11 when you drag the piece back between the blade and the fence. Yikes! It is easy to get over confident with a table saw. Accidents happen and they are unpredictable. When I was 11 I had to help my father drive to the hospital after he cut half his thumb off on a table saw and he was a professional, worked maintenance in sawmills his whole life..

[@Dandoestilla]

Great job, however I you need to work safer, that table saw needs a proper stand and out feed table, stay safe

[@patricktkeegan]

I was so nervous watching that part. I just knew one of those tenon cutoffs was gonna bind at the front of the blade and eject towards him. Now I know how other people feel when they watch me work and I’m like “it’s fine don’t worry so much!” 😂

[@joshuastevens2013]

Yes! please be safe. A kickback while your pulling that board and you could lose your right index finger.

[@BenNawrath]

And use a miter gauge for the cross cutting of the tenon shoulders, and a spacer block, not the fence, to get the length.

While hardwood is dried down to 8-12%, construction lumber is only dried to around 18%.
