I just finished adding an addition to my garage as a dedicated modest work shop. I didn’t want to sacrifice the ceiling height with a roll up door so the plan is making my own doors……just like yours . Window and all. I’ll be watching this video several times on my big screen TV (first thing I put in there plus it was free) . Also tell me that’s not the shop apprentice. If so I’m getting old. Wasn’t he just playing in his first snow day in a big warm coat. Thanks for all you show us and the entertainment. Happy new year.

Hey Mike - Nice build. I wanted to point something out. Years ago I bought and had installed highly custom (read very expensive but not high quality) Jeld Wen interior doors for a customer through Lowes. This was pre-pandemic and the lead time was 6 months. I see that you pre-punched and drilled the holes for the hinge screws and the screws were perfectly aligned and laid perfectly flat. Just one of several defects on the custom doors was that nearly every screw on every door were crooked and did not sit properly. I'm now a painter and explain to everyone that the smallest details when added together make a huge difference in the final results. The popularity of your channel is in part because you take the time to show us those small details. Thank you sir. When you begin the donation link to your channel, I'd like to buy you your first cup o' joe.

[@MikeFarrington]

This comment means so much to me. I see very little education on the small details of carpentry, yet they are soo important to the end product. Was this level of detail on carriage doors overkill, maybe, but I always like to practice those skills. I'm certainly not perfect, but I keep working to get better. Thank you very much. If you are interested in helping, I do have a Patreon page, and I answer every question asked by a supporter.

You have a serious gift with words and the manner in which you express your thoughts! in your spare time, have you considered writing a book? As a voracious consumer of books, I’d love to read something you authored. Great video by the way!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you for the kind words. If I am to be honest, much of my style of communication comes from the fact that I struggled greatly with learning to read, write and talk. I didn't say my first word until I was way past 2.

The building may warp but I expect those doors never will. Nine months to completion, wow. But think how much longer it could have been if the shop assistant hadn't stepped in to help out. I guess we're not supposed to mention the lack of exterior sheeting on the building. Of course those magnificent doors do draw ones attention away from that. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. Hopefully the doors stay flat. I didn't mention it in the video, but I did remove the old fiber sheeting and installed some OSB stuff, then installed the house wrap show at the end of the video.

[@Joerg79_DE]

The usage is identical. They are made of mahogany, as normal dominoes are made of beech wood and are not actually suitable for outdoor use. But after you paint the doors, it's probably not a big deal. Keep it up, I love your videos. The passion and precision is unique. Greetings, Jörg

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you, good info. Plus these dominos are just there for alignment, they really aren't holding anything. Also, we are pretty good about painting, so they should hold up.

[@CorwinBos]

Nice work Doors that big are a pain to build and hang. Last set I built was 8x8 so 2 4x8 doors. I elected to use 3/4 marine grade as a core and 3/4 cedar external, and a 2x6 frame internally. Overkill, but the owner never wanted them to rot externally, and I wanted them as stiff as possible so they couldnt warp. Ill also add this homeowner tends to not be great on doing maintenance like painting so that influenced my material choices as well. Personally my 72x96" shed doors are cheap external grade 1/2, with a 3/4" pine frame inside and outside. Keep them caulked and painted and they will last a long time!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thanks for sharing. I'm with ya, I'll keep these painted and sealed.

[@Joerg79_DE]

That's true, of course. It's more about the fact that beech wood rots quickly and Sipo doesn't. But it is probably more important for benches or furniture that are unpainted and are more exposed to the weather. I used them for a larch table. 😊👍🏻

[@MikeFarrington]

Yes, that is totally true, any amount of rot on an outside bench is critical, for a door mullion, not so much.

Hope that your choice of materials works out long term.

Yeah, it will be fine if I paint it regularly. I will say for anything I really care about its cedar or white oak.

Best woodworking videos on youtube. I learn so much from this channel. Does lamination, a plywood layer and finishing make seasonality in an extreme area like Colorado pretty negligible?

[@MikeFarrington]

Yes, This is going to be about the most stable door in terms of expansion, the key with plywood, especially stuff that gets baked in the sun, then freezes at night, will be flatness over time. I did my best, we shall see how they hold up.

[@gregorymacneil2836]

Great Video - on the subject of plywood I might have considered marine grade plywood just because standard exterior construction grade (besides being thinner than you think it should be) is only rated for a limited wet dry cycles. I find the standard construction grade warps and delaminates just being stored on a job site with one rain. I will be interested how they hold up long term.

[@gregorymacneil2836]

@@cmmartti It will be interesting - I have no faith in plywood any more. Bought a sheet of 5/8 last week and left it overnight in the truck - I returned it the next day due to delaminating and warpage. It just seams the quality has gone away.

[@MikeFarrington]

Couldn't agree more about the low quality of plywood. I decided to give this stuff a try, we are pretty good about painting, so they should hold up.

[@gregorymacneil2836]

@@MikeFarrington Did you know that exterior grade standard construction grade plywood (ASTM tested and approved) only has to pass 4 wet dry cycles? My best guess is that it will work because the edges are protected from the weather since they are set in a dado. I am not trying to be smarter than anyone else but I am interested from a wood science perspective since your joinery is excellent and the material is well finished. I would really like you to monitor it and report back - what I would really like is for you to take a scrap of the same material (painted) but with exposed edges and hang it outside in the same location to see how it stands up. We don’t do enough tailgate testing anymore. We replaced some of the red cedar siding on my father’s house 5 years ago due to a window replacement. It has not stood up as well as the original that was installed 45 years ago. Old growth quarter cut vs the best I could buy today. It’s a bit early but..enjoy the seasonal holidays with your family!

[@MikeFarrington]

@@gregorymacneil2836 I am a big fan of doing my own testing on projects around my house. You are welcome to email me in the future for an update. I can also offer another updated. I used this same grade of plywood on the two large carriage doors on the back of my shop. That was a few years back and they look good as new. They have been painted recently, as we got our whole house painted. I have a video showing that build, I think it's called mammoth sized carriage doors.

Awesome project, albeit looooong. I need to re-do something on my shed, since the exterior metal-clad doors are ok, but the entire frame is hosed. I felt you on the plywood rant, but for different reasons... I can deal with the wacky dimensions, but lately plywood just sucks in quality overall. I bought some 1/2" ply that turned into a literal rectangular Pringle-chip shape, and then there was the 3/4" sheet so full of gaps that I 'accidentally' drilled an 1/8" pilot hole into my forefinger. Yay.

[@MikeFarrington]

No, the way they are built will keep things from binding.

What was your order of operations in determining the final dimensions of the doors? Did you roughly decide the width of the jamb first and make the doors to fit that? Or did you determine your final door size 1st, and then make the jamb to fit?

[@R53Driver]

Sorry if that sounds confusing lol

[@MikeFarrington]

I measured the walls and determined what size opening I could frame. I then built the jamb and doors to fit that, but I undersized everything an 1". Once everything was built, I re-framed the walls and installed. Hope this helps.

That helps. Thank you.. I wanted to do a project similar to this for a long time and your video explained everything very well.. do you know if jamb mounted strap hinges would work in this configuration as well?

[@atomictyler]

the plywood thickness is usually based on the metric system, and then they call it the closest imperial unit for us freedom unit folks. Of course the 7/16 is a really weird outlier. edit: check all the typical "nominal" plywood sizes, they're whole numbers in metric. I've gone around with my calipers set in metric before and it made a lot more sense after.

[@MikeFarrington]

I'm good with some being lost from a metric conversion, but right on the plywood it gave a fraction and a decimal to three places, those numbers were not even close. I don't mind the undersizing, but it just seems to me that will keep undersizing as long as corporate profits go up. None of this helps the craftsman on the ground, which is where my heart lies and furthermore, it doesn't help the customer.

[@harlanbarnhart4656]

Just a guess, but maybe plywood is sized according to pre sanding dimensions just like construction lumber.

[@atomictyler]

@@harlanbarnhart4656 It's really just manufactured in metric units, at least anything not manufactured in the US. If you're buying plywood that's manufactured outside of the US then it's going to be based on metric. They'll add standard imperial units for us Americans, but if you check the size in metric it'll be on right at the metric equivalent. 12mm for 1/2"
