Building a Huge Door for the Workshop: Tiny Timber Frame Pt 9

The door is on! In this video, I build a ledged and framed barn sized door with a smaller door housed inside. The frame is built with traditional mortise and tenon joinery which the shiplap boards are attached to. The door is held in place by huge 42” strap hinges. As usual, most of the work is done with hand tools.

Thanks, Rohmat!

Great work. Just seeing this series now. This episode reminded me of a quote from on of Roy Underhill's books, "cheap wood, expensive joint!"

[@patrickkingshill2133]

reminds me of the New England lumber schooners of the late 19th century, known for their impeccably crafted front doors.

Thank you so much for this display of conspicuous craftsmanship. All of your amazing joinery skills, all of the time that was required to acquire the skills to build this simple object. Wow. I’m blown away.

Thanks, Isaac! Cheers!

Wow man that is one massive door. The title didn't lie 🤣 your hand tool skills are exceptional.

[@NicTaylorWoodworking]

I’m honestly surprised this one worked 😂

[@jblewis1975]

I watched all of your shop build videos, and they're great! I can't wait to see what you do on the inside of your shop!

[@NicTaylorWoodworking]

Glad you’re enjoying them! I have a lot of ideas for projects once the shop is done. Stoked to finally have a roof over my head!

Holy crap, Nic! That's looking amazing! And you can saw straight! (Some people are impressed with big doors, other with a skill like sawing straight. But it is a beautiful door!)

That door is massive! And you did it all alone, as usual. One question: is that top hinge not getting in the way of possible window trim? Great work!

[@JeffMartinez648]

Good point.

[@NicTaylorWoodworking]

It’s a big one for sure! I actually don’t think I’ll be putting any window trim on, but yes, it would likely get in the way if I were. Thanks for watching!

[@SimonStevensakaSnetty]

Hey Nic. Lovely workmanship. I was surprised to see no diagonal braces, particularly on the small inset door. Can I ask what your thinking was there?

[@NicTaylorWoodworking]

Time! haha.i’m going to be adding diagonal braces to both the large and smaller door. I was rushed for time and wanted to get the video uploaded before I was out of town for a few weeks.

[@dangermike529]

Love the videos! Quick question, where did you acquire the adjustable buck saw? Did you build it? If so, how to video would be awesome. Thanks

[@NicTaylorWoodworking]

I made the saw, but it’s not my design. Checkout Blackburn Tools. They sell parts and plans for frame saws and also have a video on how to build them. www.blackburntools.com/new-tools/media-and-related/dvd-build-your-own-classic-frame-saws/index.html

[@dangermike529]

Awesome. Thank you. Keep the content coming!!

[@kjayisme]

Am I right that the floor went in between last video and this one? I am interested to know how you did it. I.e. Is it tongue and groove structural floorboards? face nailed? And did you make them or buy them? Awesome work by the way, I'm very inspired to build something similar 😊

[@NicTaylorWoodworking]

Yep, it’s tongue and grove. I actually purchased ready made stuff from a local lumber yard. Didn’t seem quite exciting enough for a video. Cheers!
