I listen to the Petersens quite a bit in my shop. Beautiful music.

[@steveshoemaker6347]

I THINK THAT DOOR WILL LOOK👀 REALLY GOOD....An Nathan you got some fine wood working machines...Thanks so much 👍 Old Shoe🇺🇸

[@texasjetman]

Yes sir that John Wayne Brand Gold Handle coffee is mighty fine. I will let them know you approved. Loved the details on the door. Yes fine craftsmanship with well made hand tools is very therapeutic to the mind and soul.

[@texasjetman]

PS sad you must paint that door for protection. How about clear epoxy coating

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

I’ll look into that

[@frankanderson1580]

When I taught woodworking to high school students I made them use hand tools to make their first project. I gave them a piece of rough 4/4 mahogany. This was in the late 70’s. I hear from some of those students that they still have that project and they appreciate me making them learn to use hand tools.

[@olleroma]

Couldn't agree more, the feel and sound of a well sharpened hand tool can't be beat.

[@texasjetman]

Absolutely agree 100%

[@terry.jamesrobert]

Hey Nathan. My wife works for Agriculture Canada and did an experiment using wood pulp as fertilizer. The results were that the decomposing wood pulp took away Nitrogen from the soil during the first year of application but returned it during the second year. Also, if you do not plant a garden this year, talk to one of the local farmers or farmers co-ops to find out what type of cover crop to plant to plow under next year.

[@dan1694]

Simple solution to that is to plant soybeans the first year and then test and plant another crop the following year.

[@brucebello2049]

Remember, you asked us to be brutal with our opinions! Looks beautiful, my only thought is I can’t incision the doors being black, you are the artist and I know we can trust your vision, great job, look forward to the next door instalment, say within three weeks?

[@erkeltree]

Wood bees are voracious and persistent. they don't like dark wood or Spar varnished wood.

[@jeanneprice6736]

Lovely haircut!😂. What I like about Amazon is they receive returns w/ no questions.

[@richardcrossen9480]

Pine shavings make great chicken bedding. You don’t have to buy them! Also, after the chickens are finished with the shavings the compost is better!! 🇨🇦

[@robertkayhs2049]

Brutally Honest. Your tongue and grove work reveals your consistantly hidden talent: Square and Plumb. It makes all these pieces fit so nicely, and it is built into your processes.

[@juliehenry5353]

When I was an In Prosses Auditor at Conestoga Wood Specialties part of my job was going around and checking set ups on machines - as well as quality of the Wood that was worked on

[@michaelcraig5735]

Being a doorman myself, Damm good job its been a long time for me since I’ve retired but I do have an eye for good craftsmanship and that’s all you. God speed!!

[@zildjian4life433]

I'm very jealous of your amazing shop and I think the doors will look great!

[@DavidSchmidt-b8r]

Work with hand tools is a great pleasure. Very calming. I enjoy watching you while I’m in my shop. Thank you for your content.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@joebufford2972]

And I totally agree with the setup on the tools. Sometimes when I set up a table saw with a dado with the fence, or a router or router table. They stay that way till the end of that task which could be a week.

[@russsanders5403]

Thanks for the explanation on the hand tools. I totally get it.

[@TBizzell68]

I don’t know why watching those chips blow out of that pipe outside is so satisfying to me, but it is. I totally understand the peace of using hand tools.

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

Your doors are Lovely, practical and insulated, what’s not to like? Sturdy too! And hand tools are just that, extensions of your hands. You can feel the shavings being cut and the sounds made are like music and each wood has its own sound, smell and personality. And old tools have the energies of those who used and Loved them. Sometimes you can feel the history as you put them to work. The satisfaction that comes by your hands using well crafted tools is something there are no words for. Enjoyable, delightful and rewarding and always used with respect. Kind Thanks Nathan and Many Blessings to all the Elliott Family! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

[@inqwit1]

That's a decent reveal, really like the look.

[@brucewheeler8072]

Nathan love the doors and mostly love your show, also thanks for keeping your video short so us working folks can enjoy them!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

The door is going to look great Nathan. Hope you come out okay on the nailer. Stay safe around there and keep up the great work. Fred.

[@thomasroach1183]

Nice hair cut!!!!

[@ddevlin13]

Nathan, I have to say there is a powerful simplicity to your style of video making. You have this way of making us feel like we are your neighbors, dropping by for a cup of coffee and a chat. Please don't ever change just to chase the numbers.

[@deanmills5106]

I make custom furniture and your channel is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I also love using hand tools, it's back to basics.

[@joebufford2972]

I agree. Handworking wood is very fulfilling and most of the time therapeutic you see here and feel everything including the birds outside as you said 🪚

[@kevinallen1761]

Those carts may save back strain as you get "older" . Might be a favorite tool in the future. Good purchase

[@phillipduncan2497]

I look forward to seeing the finished door. Nice start to the project.

[@bobwollard9105]

Nathan, have you considered saving short sections of previously moulded lumber to use as setup pieces to help with later setup of your moulder? We have a nice collection of previously moulded pieces that we use every time we have another run of each type of trim. Just a thought. BTW, the ongoing evolution of your shop is fantastic👍

[@richpeggyfranks490]

I don't have a moulder, but I use previous-made samples to set up bits on the router table. Good time saver, improves accuracy and saves material. Good of you to bring it up.

[@mazevx2451]

We used to make those examples from engineered woods so they keep the shape. It's a game changer for machine setup.

[@njkay0033]

When it comes to cordless nailers.....Milwaukee really is at the top of the game.

[@alfabsc]

I had the same Porter Cable nail gun. Mine worked, sort of. You will be happier with a different tool. It had a weird delay when you pull the trigger. Drove me crazy. I agree with everything you said about hand tools. No dust or noise. The finish from a plane is always superior to sanding.

[@ralphpezda6523]

Sandpaper makes dust. Handsaws make sawdust. Scrapers make wood dust along with thin shavings.

[@bobh64]

Good thing you caught the dust collector. Nothing ruins big heppa filters then it being clogged up with sawdust. Keep the great videos up :)

[@Beav7681]

The door looks awesome. I really appreciate the use of hand tools. It's relaxing and shows true craftsmanship.

[@ronnielloyd4514]

I am impressed with what you do and the tools that you own.

[@markgruenberg6277]

Really enjoyed the wood working lesson. Much appreciated. Looking forward to the next video. Be well and stay safe.

[@johngagne986]

Another fine day at the farm Nathan! Thanks so much as always I really enjoy your videos and the time and effort you put into them for us.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@grisslebear]

6:46 - Now THAT was a cool cut, Nathan. 😎👍

[@robertbamford8266]

It will look great! Hmm. 3/4”x8” ship lap. I used blocking every 24”.

[@tjjewell4115]

Nathan, as usual your Video's are always top notch, when it comes to the door, outstanding job and I can't wait to see it up.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks again!

[@billytyson1748]

I have bought from uline fou our fire department. They make good stuff.

[@jerrylittle8922]

Nathan your shop looks good. Hope you make a video of hanging those doors once there complete..Shiplap was a good idea. Watching your work motivates me to get more creative work done. Thank you.

[@dalgguitars]

So much stuff in my shop has rollers. Totally on board with that.

[@patwright6317]

FYI , as the wood on door moves the unpainted overlap will show . You could paint just overlap before install .

[@Jeffy2n]

They look great, and I am sure they will work out just fine.

[@richardcorcoran1151]

Are you concerned at all that the reveal will allow water to run into the door, especially after the wood shrinks. Love your shop, you got a good set-up. Thanks for your videos.

[@randydobson1863]

hello nathan it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy

[@techauthor324]

Good hair cut. Got mine done today too. Hope you get the brad nailer sorted, something that fails straight out of the box causes me to look at other brands. lt's a trust thing.

[@paulotts]

Those steps make a long trek!🤣

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

I am a Tennessean, born & raised. Dad built a house with shiplap siding & painted a dark green. But, his ship lap had a different profile. The lumber was installed horizontally with a curved face along the top edge. This let rain water glide off the surface away from the joint. I see where it got the name "ship lap". Your ship lap must be for a different ship.

[@johnaddis1022]

My Grandfather used the type you are referring to he called it cove lap and put it up same way. Nathan's ship-lap and is used for vertical or horizontal runs

[@erkeltree]

Double check that your nailer uses the gauge nails you put into it. I goofed that once on mine.

[@pazmaniaoh6341]

Doors look great. I did something similar for my shed. A lot less awesome, but similar. 😂

[@mikefromwv1010]

They look good so far. Can understand the hand tool peace nothing like that feeling

[@michaelmeyers1827]

They will turn out good

[@kylekroft9154]

Man has all the cool tools! I feel your pain with dust collection. I fill a bag up every week with my cnc

[@ronnielloyd4514]

I am so amazed at all of the new equipment that you always have. Everything you have looks new. Do you have any employees?

[@erkeltree]

I like your doors they will be great. almost tornado proof and beautiful inside.

[@fredbrooks1386]

Great as always. I hope to see a video of you using the hand tools on the outside of the doors. Thanks a lot😀

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks for the idea!

[@johnbresnahan2374]

Hello Nate. Doors are going to be killer. Top quality.

[@robbiebaker2412]

Also, if you want to do something other than paint the outside of the doors that will waterproof it and deter the bees, spray it with a mixture of red diesel fuel and automatic transmission fluid (mixed at a ratio of 1 quart of transmission fluid per 1 gallon of diesel. It kinda stinks at first but the smell will go awake in a day or two. Reapply every couple of years. Works like a charm

[@Wiscotac]

The doors are great! But ah, black? Hmm. The task counting was a gas earlier too.

[@kevinh3002]

love them doors looks awsome

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Stay safe young man.

[@bobblossom2713]

I like the shop doors, but I would be hesitant to paint the exterior surface black or any dark color. Too much heat gain. How about a lighter, more reflective color?

[@jimmychandler9328]

The shiplap looks great. I have always heard it called nickel gap shiplap. Looks great.

[@johnaddis1022]

Old timers called it that since a nickle was used on each end to set the gap.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

yeah I hear that also here, guess nickel gap is the better term,

[@mickthefixer2010]

The doors will look really good Nathan, not sure I'd paint them black though, also is there a sheet of plastic installed to stop the insulation getting wet/soggy from the outside??

[@ron.v]

When I worked for AT&T (back when it still owned the entire Bell System), they only bought premium tools and equipment for their storerooms and warehouses. Uline was a favorite vendor for portable tables like the one you have. We used them in the Western Electric Warehouse over several shifts 5 to 6 days a week, every day of the year except holidays, for years and years. People would fill orders from those roll around tables. We must have had a dozen of them. I don't think we ever wore one out. You asked about the doors. I think they're gorgeous! I'll bet they're really heavy, too.

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼…………………………………………………..I think your doors look great along with the whole shop. With the metal and different kinds of wood, I think the whole shop is cool!

[@daveandcindyamos5537]

I really enjoy your videos. I wish there was smellavision. Nothing better than fresh wood smell. Thanks.

[@hillbillyinthephilippines303]

I like too save a finished board for a template makes setup a lot easier

[@richardthornhill4630]

You have a very attractive, practical, and functional shop and the shiplap doors will be very attractive. Maybe a good quality matching oil stain would be better than the paint.

[@garyknable1155]

1 word for brad nailer is Milwaukee love the door very nice

[@deladally1286]

Is going to be a beautiful door!

[@KillingerUSA]

Living the dream! You should.______

[@craigsudman4556]

Nice work on those doors Nathan; what about a vapor barrier? Great video thumbs up.

[@johnaddis1022]

Door looks great and strong, When you take back the nailer hold out your charged battery and a few nails so you can test the replacement tool.I have had brand new tools not work and the replacement didn't either. Your chickens should love you for some of the shavings, My neighbor has horses and wants my planer shavings to put in the horse barn. do you have anyone up in your neck of the woods that does that for horses? I ran a lot of cedar but she couldn't use it as it irritates the horses hoofs.

[@robbiebaker2412]

Just a thought but if you're going to be rolling the table around with a load on it, you may want to bolt on a couple of pieces of angle iron or something (you could probably even use a couple of pieces of 1x4 lumber) to reinforce it. It won't add much weight and will make it more sturdy and easier to roll around, especially with a load on it

[@akdouglas6633]

Doors look great

[@michelem9341]

Cool vid, Nathan. Question: did you start with 1x8?

[@jefflormans5441]

I think I'd put some bracing on that table.

[@johanneslaxell6641]

We usually stain/paint the male tongue before installing so that there is paint when the wood shrinks. That way there are no unprotected wood showing...

[@michaeltonyseel]

Doors are going to awesome, looks like your going to need some serious hinges though have you thought about a latching system yet ? Thanks for the video's ,been trying to watch all from the beginning of the channel 👍🏻

[@ralphpezda6523]

Mr. Elliott: Don't you have room to back your truck into your barn or partially so?

[@stewartew]

After you get your molder set up for the ship lap couldn't you save and small piece to use as a template for setting it up for the next time ? I think those doors, painted black will look fantastic on that building.

[@howardnielsen6220]

Thank You

[@garysuderman174]

I'm sure the door will look awesome. To save time, why can't you leave one edge of the shiplap alone so you could just butt it up to the door edge and save time cutting and milling? Keep the videos coming Nate.

[@johnaddis1022]

His molder machine is set to cut both sides, on one run. I would do it the same

[@garysuderman174]

@@johnaddis1022 OK. Thanks

[@duanebrumage5281]

I think your doors will be pretty heavy and very solid.

[@bluenoser3016]

Appreciate your videos. Always look forward to a new one. I'm curious that you didn't include any vapour barrier between the insulation and the shiplap boards. I live in Nova Scotia and of course we have significant precipitation throughout the year so I think I would be inclined to include barrier.

[@jimlane6335]

[@deanwilliams93]

Questions. 1. How do you get so much done in a day? 2. Do you ever sleep?

[@bpaul1110]

Doors look really good. The only thing you should have done to make your life easier was to have had the color paint you are going to do the out side of the doors with and painted the inner edge of the shiplap. It's going to be a pain getting into that reveal and when they shrink you'll have a light line.

[@gregwitkamp5583]

Nathen you can use your drain oil from your truck engine to stain and preserve the door and the carpenter Bees dont like it . take a small pc of that wood you used and put two coats heavily applied and soaked in to see if you like it

[@lounar482]

Exterior painted wood...unless you do a perfect job with the paint, moisture will want to wick laterally in the joint and since they aren't back primed or painted, can lead to rot. Since the wood is moving there's also a good chance of exposing bare wood. But, that will probably take decades or longer if the drying cycle is longer than the wetting cycle.

[@justjane2070]

Does it have to be black? What about a bright red ? ❤

Nathan , have you ever considered keeping all your sawdust and shavings and turn them into wood stove pellets ?

You could sell all those shavings to a farm with chickens or other animals for barn floors.
