Making Shed Doors, from reclaimed timber.

Welcome back to my workshop 😁
In todays video i show you how I made a set of re-claimed timber doors for my shed build.
These were made from some old decking that was recently given to me to see if i could make use of.
All i need to do now is get some treatment on them before they decide to rot away 😁
I hope you enjoy the video, and possibly pick up some hints and tips.

Cracking job it’s coming on well now.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Steve. The end is in sight. A bit hampered by the weather now. Still need to protect it and get some guttering on it 🤔. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@SteveMonk1956]

Love those doors Frank, they'll stop the wind blowing the shed away! nice job.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Steve. It has stopped it filling with water with the sideways rain we keep getting 😁. Thanks for watching 😁👍

Nice shed Frank! Love the sanding bit, very funny😂

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😆 The sanding was going on for ever and ever 😆 I had to try and make it interesting 🤣🤣. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@davidjm955]

Well done. The shed does look good.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks David. Just got to get some protection on it now so it lasts so I need a few dry days to get that done 😁. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Watched every minute of it Frank. Them doors not going anywhere mate, solid as a rock.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Harki. I really appreciate your time 😁. The doors are so solid, I am pleased with them... but they are so heavy 🤣🤣. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@lizzapaolia959]

Outstanding job, that door looks great 👍🙏

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Lizza, they are lasting well. No warping or distortion so far. I am pleased with them 😁. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

Great job on the doors Frank, they'll outlast the rest of the shed but you'll never regret how sturdy they are. Locks look strong but it's worth putting a couple of bolts through instead of nails on the hinges to stop anyone just unscrewing them to get in. Whole structure looking really sound now.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Ben. Security is not really an issue. We have some "very attentative" neighbours 👀, and I have far too much CCTV 🤣. But a bolt ot two wouldn't go amiss. I will need to modify the hinges though, they are cheap ones and don't allow for a coach bolt 🤨. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

@@frankslittleworkshop That's good to hear. I've really enjoyed the build, thanks for taking the time and effort to film it.

[@FixitFingers]

It must be such a great feeling to stand back and look at what a huge and impressive build you've done singlehandedly Frank. Nearly there!

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Yep, I can stand back and admire it with my hands in my pockets....... and realise that my pockets are now very empty 🤣🤣🤣. But it could have been a lot more expensive if I hadn't used reclaimed material wherever I could. I am pleased with it but really need to get it finished before winter sets in 😁. Thanks for watching James 😁👍

Shed's looking good Frank. I'm sure Leo won't mind you pinching his design.

[@ricardoedwardo5799]

Outstanding! Coming to the end of my shed too and on to the door. Some of my cladding overlaps the door and I’m worried I cut it and it goes wrong. Only have a jigsaw and hand held circular saw and would like your advice on a straight cut

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Hi Ricardo, obviously a bit tricky to give any advice as I haven't seen your build. But all I can say is never underestimate how good a good old hand saw can be and you can pick them up for very little money. You don't need to use power tools. A hand saw will allow you to control every stroke of the cut which will in turn minimise the chance of any big mistakes. It can always be sanded after to make it look nice 😁. Hope that helps, thanks for watching Ricardo 😁👍

[@alastairwallis9499]

Looking good Frank. (The shed that is ) 😀

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😆😆 Thanks Alastair 😁👍

[@cindyharrison4191]

Nicely done ✔ 👏

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Cindy. Just need the weather to get warmer and I can crack on with the inside 😁. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Frank, that is a novel way to use those hinges, the end of the hinge is supposed to go on the outside of the door jam, not inside. Also, if you look at the hinge one of the holes is square, this is for a carriage bolt to add extra strength to the hinge, loved the re-use of the old timber, great thinking.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

Hi John. I didn't have much choice how I mounted the hinges. They wouldn't sit securely enough on the log roll cladding and if you note how close the right hand door is to the window... it just wouldn't work. I really needed a more robust exterior door frame but didn't have the wood. The hinges I have dont allow for coach bolts (cheap ones from Wickes) so there is not a square hole. But I may modify them and fit bolts. The doors are off again now so I can treat them properly. Thanks for watching John 😁👍

[@JerryXM991]

Nicely done. I can appreciate a man who admits when he made a mistake. My only concern is the lack of vertical studs in the walls! OMG what are they 72" on center? And no header whatsoever above the window? I'd go 16" on center, maybe 24" because it's a shed, but not what you have there.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Hi P, yep I agree totally. There should really be more verticals, yep there should be a header above the windows... but yep, its a shed. It wasn't built to any "traditional" building regs... because its a shed. It really only needs to keep the rain off my lawn mower 😆. However, it now has extensive partitioning and supports inside which create smaller and more ridged box sections. And additional bracing which double up as shelving. Its now well over a year old and there has been no movement / bowing / sagging / door misalignment or settling. In addition, half of it is for project wood storage and it is keeping that dry enough (averaging 16%) so I'm also happy with the venting and protection 😁. So overall its much more robust than any kit I could have brought for even twice the price.... and yes... my lawn mower has never complained 😆😆. Thanks for watching P 😁👍

[@handyjim]

excellent job great video as always little bit curios as to why 2 doors

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Jim, I'm pleased so far. I think I mentioned in one of the previous videos that the left hand will be partitioned off just for "good wood" storage so I can free up some space in the workshop. The rest is for real shed stuff 😁👍

[@mathewgallimore1484]

When cutting multiple half laps, it could have been quicker to use the track saw as you could cut multiple pieces laid next to each other at the same time? P.S. love your videos, light hearted and always an enjoyable watch, keep em coming

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Mathew, I have done the "multiple cuts" trick before with good results. But as you can see... space was limited and my mitre was already set up so that was the quickest option. Glad you enjoy the videos, I hope they are helpful and entertaining. Tell all your friends how awesome they are... I need all the views I can get 🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for watching Mathew 😁👍

[@PhilsWorkshop1953]

Well done Frank but where’s your mask you naughty boy lol 😂

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Well spotted Phil 😁. I need to get a new one. I spent so much time sanding on my last project (the buzz games) which was all MDF. My mask is a bit "past its prime". I have one on order 😁👍
