MWD HQ New Door English Oak

Simple,……just a piece of art! RESPECT,!

[@bollox57]

Absolutely brilliant Andy 👍👍👍👍

[@torsteinhagensen-drnen7375]

If I could give this a thousand thumbs-ups I would. First of you’r videos I’ve watched and already learned more new tips than from the other last 50 random woodworking videos!

[@theofarmmanager267]

A very comprehensive, well narrated video. That 5-centred door style, when well executed as here, is among the most stylish possible. A couple of comments, none negative towards MW, that might help others. All the equipment that MW has makes a precison job easier and quicker than in my workshop which has normal “trade” machinery (very much in the Axminster Trade category; so very nice but a level or 2 below MW). But it’s entirely possible to do for most serious hobbyists. I can say that because I’ve made oak doors and very pleased with it. We had to make a new front door and frame for our Grade II listed building. Anyone in the auto probably knows this but having a building listed (ie it has some architectural importance) means that there restrictions on what you can do without the guidance of the local Conservation Officer. Grade I is the “highest” meaning you can even paint a wall without approval for the paint and the colour. Grade II is less restrictive but we had to get approval from the Conservation Officer who, frankly, knew little but spoke a lot. Anyway, he eventually agreed a European oak panelled door. The frame and door had to fit into the existing opening which was theoretically a rectangle but was anything but. We made a template from the opening for the frame and, from that, the door. Do it slowly, accurately and it’s not hard. We made the door out of 40mm thick European Oak with only 3 horizontal braces - also 40mm. All glued and screwed. I was expecting splitting afterwards but, strangely, it hasn’t happened. What does happen almost on a daily basis is that the door warps left to right. Not a huge amount but you notice it because some days, the bolt slides in very easily; 2 days later and you have to use a bit of force to get the bolt in. Ours, like MW, is under a small canopy or porch and I think that’s essential .we used Osmo undercoat and top coat on it and, since 2013, it hasn’t needed a re-coat. So, don’t be thinking you can’t do it. If you bought ready planed oak and had a track saw and router, then you can make these. You won’t do it quickly, you will be making multiple passes whereas a big machine can do it in one and couldn’t make a profit doing it, but it’s entirely possible. There is no secret but the key for me is templates. Templates, templates and more templates for every curve. Spend a lot of time making accurate templates and you will make all the other operations easier. In fact, I make 2 templates of everything so that, if one template gets damaged, I have another exact duplicate ready to had. I keep one of each template in store and use anything else as material for the next templates. My workshop is a fraction of the size of MW at 8m x 8m ( never measured it, so a guess). In that, I have a timber rack which has a footprint of 2.5m x 2m - so, a luxury space when set against most serious hobbyist but space can be tight. My band saw, planer/thicknesser, router table, drill press, sander and lathe are all on castors with shop made castor-lifting so that, when required, all the units sit on their solid feet. All are set around the perimeter and I can use them all there for small pieces but when I have an 8’ length for example, I pull the machine out in the middle and get the required space either side. Like MW, I work mostly on my own; unfortunately, I’m probably 30 years older. That means that easy lifting is absolutely essential. The Felder FAT or RUWI tables are very nice but the price! You can buy less expensive ‘nearly’ version from many places and I seriously looked at the Itech version. In the end, I was able to get a used mains-electric static lift table for £220 delivered - and I’ve seen others since. Boy, this is heavy. I made a torsion box chassis with very HD castors and had to have help lifting the table on to that. I have a MFT style top ready to put on top but just haven’t done it yet. The mains electric is a blessing but you have to be careful. In a small shop like mine, a power socket is never far away and I just uncurl the mains cable, plug in, lift or lower, unplug and move the table where i want it. In that way, I use it just as MW uses their lift tables except that mine Laos operates an an infeed/out feed table for all the machines. So, if you decide to give it a go, just follow all the steps shown by MW but substitute your equipment for his.

[@mountainousterrain1704]

The door looks fantastic, but put me in the same well-equiped shop and I will NOT be able to do what he does. It has more to do with the expertise, talent, and creativity of the worker (artist) than the money spent on tools. Great tools will of course increase your throughput, reproducibility, and precision but are not a substitute for the years needed to develop your craft.

Wow ! When I started as an apprentice in the workshop in 89 the one main thing I was taught when doing circular work on the spindle was NEVER PUT YOUR FINGERS ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE WORKPEICE ! If that cutter snatches that material your didgets are straight into that cutter.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Pleased your enjoying the cutterblock 👍 I designed it, made all the drawings and paid a fortune for Whitehill to make me one an as a custom block, now they stock it on the website for cheaper FML. Mine only has the two knives, after some feedback they added a third, I assume it cuts quite smoothly? I ought to be getting royalties lol

[@ManorWood]

Hi there, I have no idea who designed it. I’ve been using Whitehill stuff for years and I know Drew quite well. I had an order for a cabinet which will be coming soon to KZbin and wanted me to copy the details of a magnet kitchen believe it or not on the side. So I looked around how to do a bead and that’s the first thing I found well done for the design mate hey. Seems to cut really smooth I’m not exactly sure which speed to run the sora been experimenting with different words but so far so good

That is a beautiful door! It reminds me of the old door on a Tudor-style house we used to own. The door had what I called a "peaked arch" like the one you made here. I had not seen one before or since until this one. The door was out of walnut and it was also a real beauty like this one. Thanks for the memories!

[@ManorWood]

I love that style door and am a massive fan of old English oak from c11th to c17th .. I have seen many examples on my time. So in the UK you would never see a Walnut door as its a fruit wood and not for outside use here . thx for you comment man:)

I presume the very same door would be doable to make with tools for £2000 but it would literally took 10 times longer if not longer and time is the 💰 🤑 💸

[@ManorWood]

Long before videos I made a tour exactly like this 25 years ago, all I had was a trend router and a Dewalt circular saw handheld no track, I had a small planer thicknesser, cost about 200 quid, it is definitely possible how do you say just a bit slower I’m big toes like this without lift tables and heavy machinery sometimes you need an extra set of hands, another really good idea is to have the oak of the word planed up a machine ready for construction if you don’t have the big tools that’s the main difference

[@milkod2001]

@@ManorWood fair enough

[@gregormarquardt4192]

Looks very nice much respect for how confident you drive the nails in on a finished surface If you glue up wood 90 degree in the grain direction won't it bend hard when the weather changes?

Cheers, I live in the UK I don’t expect to have any problem with any twisting or bending

[@emielvisser621]

Beautiful door and thanx for showing the hk cutter! Only thing I really have doubts about is the glueing of the frame with crossing grain direction. Especially with this beeing an outside door you will get moisture levels varying between inside and out and with that different rates of expantion. It is bound to warp or crack, so why do it this way?

[@ManorWood]

Open them at this for years including outside doors I've never had a problem there will be some movement but nothing that extreme.

Nice looking door. Have you seen parallel jigs for the sliding table? Not sure about Altendorf, but definitely available for Felder sliding tables. It makes cutting boards very easy and you do not have to rely on the rip fence. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David

[@ManorWood]

I haven’t, sounds like a really good idea though. I guess the one thing is now I’ve got the motorised fence and I’m getting used to using it is pretty quick I could see a parallel fence would be really handy

[@drmkiwi]

@@ManorWood It's much easier cutting long boards (provided they're not longer than the sliding table) with the sliding table than trying to wrestle with them against the RIP fence.

[@EastLondonKiwi]

Beautiful detailing. A novice question: You did not add in any diagonal bracing to prevent the door racking over time from its own weight. Are these features not required when using a glued subframe?

[@ManorWood]

Glue does the job ! Plus large hindges

[@MrHighflyingclive]

Wonderful door! But how will you prevent the iron nails from staining the oak?

[@ManorWood]

Cheers .. I Like the staining :) and the oak going grey .

[@johnbolwell5969]

I hope I am going to learn something here... slightly surprised at the cross-grain glue up over such a wide door where the panels have been glued together. I wonder whether that large door panel will be restricted by the horizontal bracing when it expands and contracts and may split? I thought you would screw through slightly enlarged holes, no glue to allow it to move. Beautiful piece!

[@plexuswoodworks1771]

Gotta remember, he’s building it for him self. I brake all the rules when building for myself.

[@Kevin-tk9tr]

Regardless of who the piece is for H & S should be considered at all times especially when it's on a public platform. Yes I'm as guilty as the next man sometimes for not maybe being 100% safe but something so simple as that isn't great practice.

glueing that frame to the back of the plank door is a mistake, the ouside face of the planks are going to want to expand with the they are constrained buy frame on the other side glued to back meaning its going to bend like a banana.

Didn't make an external doors like this for almost 20 years, the only difference is been using the domino to make the rear frame quicker today never had a problem if I do and it bananas to be seeing it on the channel thanks again for your comments really appreciate it

[@martyn1678]

Timber moves more cross grain than it moves long grain youve just stopped it moving on the back, itll bend like a barrel We used to make internal plank doors and used to glue the battans on the back just like you just done, they would come back all the time because the bent. So we stopped glueing the battans on the back and just started screwing them, they stopped bending.

Nice Andy. I love your oak projects. That is one heck of a pair of hinges I have often wondered the strength difference between traditional M&T and lose tenons (dominoes) if modern glues are as good as the propaganda says then no difference

[@ManorWood]

Pros and cons to all types of joinery, since the domino come along accuracy and time is definitely increased with minimal kit and minimal set up and almost no test cuts , if you have the machinery for M&T and you’re going to do a lot of repeat work and that’s a way to go. Also being paid by Client for a top-notch job you can take your time and use the largest biggest wood joint possible to help secure things, if you are generating work for yourself sometimes using resin and a domino just keeps things more fun quicker and less the time

[@adriansams6066]

No allowance for expansion and contraction of the the Oak Tongue and grooved boards. When you make a framed,ledged and boarded door or a ledged and boarded door its vital to allow for the timber to move with the seasons/heat,humidity etc and this door allows for none of that and you should never glue the joints and there should be 2mm spacing between the joints depending on moisture content of the oak. That door will bow ,100% guaranteed and when the boards shrink they will more than likely split because you didn't allow for movement. There is a fabulous Joinery book called "Modern Practical Joinery " by George Ellis. Highly reccomend it and although its a very old book it explains why you need to allow for movement when making joinery along with how to correctly make Joinery . If you make another one, make a traditional Framed and ledged Mortice and Tenon door , hang the door in the frame and then last job fit the tongue and grooved boards last that way you've done all the humping around with a lighter door. On external oak doors always avoid using the sapwood as it rots very quickly. With respect the way you used the spindle moulder and had your left hand over the Oak (ie spindle side of the oak was terrible.If that spindle block snatched the Oak your hand would be pulled into the block quicker than you can blink. I would strongly urge you to sign up on a coarse on how to use the machine. I enjoy your channel ,making tables etc is really good but the way you use a spindle moulder and make Doors etc is pretty poor. Sorry if that sounds negative but you are showing others how to make Joinery so at the very least you should know how to use the machines safely or put a disclaimer up. Spindle moulders and table saws in particular can take hands off quicker than you can pull your hand away. New workshop looks great and my advice is based on 35+yrs as a qualified Joiner but feel free to ignore my advice.

[@ManorWood]

All good points , as I said if the door twist I will re make them in a more traditional method, what is the shops completely finished i’ll have more time more detailed work on my own stuff ! But as I said done these before (for my own use) and don’t expect a problem based on the location of the door . These videos when making furniture are not instructional and should not ! be used as a reference to how to use a tool or machine. You can’t see on a video how a particulars task feels and often Camera Angle play’s a big part in what people see. Modern sharp cutter block with bears guide taking off very small amounts , is a long way for the old days !! And people should also know that . As always thanks for you support and feedback Andy
