Off Grid Earthbag Workshop Part 75 Making The Top Floor Main Doors

For the last week I have been making the main doors for the top workshop. while I was looking for inspiration I found the samurai carpenter had made some doors that I really like and decided to go with that design as it incorporated some nice little curved details that suit the building. you can view his video here. • Samurai Workshop Doors
All the wood used was milled on my homemade bandsaw mill and dried under the workshop porch.

I've been watching this channel since he built his house. Then watched over the years the projects he added and what he has done is just amazing in this day and age. I am not related or even know the guy except for his videos, but I feel proud of him for all he has accomplished so far. Good on you Kris. From Canada.

[@KrisHarbour]

Thank you 🙏 it’s lovely to hear from people they have been around from the start . Thanks for your continued support

[@CazPea]

Me too, it’s one of my favourites. Always a pleasure to watch 🌈

[@johnchappell9232]

To see the whole process from tree to door is very inspiring. Incredible what's possible.

[@230jjordan]

Same here. Always a highlight and inspiration watching Kris's progress. I too have recently moved out of Central London to chase a similar dream!

[@Kartvillian]

@@KrisHarbour Hi kris, first of all I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Andy...I'm a builder.....I have started watching your video's from the start with my wife and i am so impressed with what you have achieved......i have spent the last 8 years doing 2 house projects which have been a absolute nightmare but then on the flip note elevated us onto the next housing bracket........none of which means anything to me as I look at you and believe you are a rich man.....we have my son 21 and my wife's daughter 17 and 13 and I truly believe I would like to get off of the rat race and make a real difference with planting forests and supplying our family with free electric......how would I contact you privately in order to not allow my private details to be shown publicly? I would love to chat about a possible opportunity I have to buy some land with other members of my family.........ps can I just say the log house could have been the end of any man, you did so well to keep posting and building , the lesser man scraped by nearly giving up watching as it was so painful to see but so necessary also...keep posting and I hope to hear from you..Andy

[@survivalskills7184]

Your door is so beautiful, i admire you so much

[@nhatantrieu2172]

Xuan. Is your cabin almost finished? I can't wait to see

[@chautrieu7340]

I would love to vist your cabin

[@trieuhuyuong7220]

I subscribed to your channel

[@shortsweettoo]

Yup. Samurai is good... But you Sir, are bloody brilliant on every level. I would take your door every time. 😊

[@MegaStullenandy]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@gazza2963]

anyone else notice Kris never asks people to sub or like his video's? That in it self deserve a like! ;)

[@aboveallthingslove6349]

37:40 The seal down the middle is an "astragal." Beautiful doors and well-made Kris, I'm looking forward to the energy production designs and component machining you'll be doing there.

[@Jerbod2]

They look absolutely stunning. Great job Kris!

[@ryank8113]

You know you've worked too long when the cat comes to gets you! Great work and great vid as always!

[@anyascelticcreations]

So true! I'll try to remember that the next time my cats do. Lol. Like now. They're telling me it's time for bed. We should listen. The cat's know best. Lol.

[@lyannecb8499]

I found it quite funny how you said the hardware was expensive, but the rest of the doors were not - maybe you didn't pay much for the wood, but you put so much value into them yourself! And got the tools and skills to make them - invaluable! As of course did the smith who made the hardware, turning the raw metal into the hinges.

[@nickyork8901]

That spindle moulder is an impressive machine! The doors look super, very nice work, and the ironmongery you chose is the perfect match.

[@idontthinkso666]

That machine is a f*cking BEAST!

[@enjoying28]

First time I've ever seen one of these, I did not know this was a thing.

[@Richie8a8y]

Maestro! These doors deserved the expense of the hand-wrought hardware. After all your exquisite work the doors would’ve laughed off anything less.

[@Utahdropout]

Kris, I can only imagine what a great sense of satisfaction you must feel from all you have accomplished. I get a bit choked up thinking how much joy you must get when you survey you little kingdom, knowing you have created so much there.

[@anitamitchell3452]

Congrats on completing the doors. Stunning as anything you've ever created. Love the hardware. Merry Christmas to you all!

[@FruitandNutcaseOK]

So talented and hard working, I remember you full of allergy moving from London to Wales for a better life. You have achieved what you set out to do and now are exceeding your own expectations.

[@carlustownsend7588]

Those doors are beautiful Chris. Love the work you put in to create those lovely doors. Respect due to you bro.

[@campbellrocksagain]

I binge watched your whole series since last Sunday. Pretty cool to get caught up to your latest video. You are an inspiration. 💪

[@kevinturner6621]

Great looking doors Kris. My father was a carpenter and furniture makes, I can appreciate the effort that goes into this work.

[@OminiElemental]

You don't realise just how large the doors are until you're standing beside them. Beautiful work.

[@gailhowes9398]

You never stop surprising me Kris and a hair cut as well! You know I have been watching you for a long time now and I’m impressed with how much you have accomplished. Not just your home but the garden, orchard and solar shower, windmill etc. ! When you first started on your acreage did you ever think you would have done such beautiful work? You combined practicality with artistic cosiness.

[@gardnerwilson57]

Lots of thought, some sweat, and hard work = a treasure of a door. That looks way better than I could have imagined. Hobbiton would be proud!!! Way to go! Me southern AZ.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

They look superb! I didn’t realize how big they were until you stood next to them. They must have been really heavy! Well done🤗🐝❤️

[@Mindy56743]

What a beautiful set of doors! In America that would cost thousands of dollars and probably not nearly as well made. Great Job!

[@LilDoggy]

Quite pleased. What you do is in its own way just as special if not more than what Jesse does. This is YOUR style of building, he’s perfected someone else’s style.

[@johannes.f.r.]

I usually try to minimize the amount of expised end grain on projects like this, but the through tenons do always give a great look.

[@KurtBoulter]

When you have the right tools, it makes the work so much faster, easier and the quality is far better. Nice work Kris.

[@FarmsVilla]

Damn Kris those doors are a piece of art. Excellent job. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@carolewarner101]

What IS that machine??? Like a giant route, but one that allows you to cut full length door tenons? Wow, what a time saver... At the 31 minute mark my heart dropped as you placed the hinge on the wrong side of the door...but you saw it before any drilling commenced, thank goodness. After making such a stunning door that really would've been a bummer to put the hinges on the wrong side before realizing your mistake. Truly Kris, the end result of your work is nothing short of magnificent; the doors are absolutely gorgeous! From standing trees to milling it up with the mill you built yourself to a stunning set of solid wood doors... You must be so thrilled and deeply satisfied with the results of all your planning and work. I have followed the Samurai Carpenter for a few years now and I'm sure he'd be very proud. Hope he gets to see them to let you know. Your skills are growing with leaps and bounds!

[@davidrickards]

Your craftsmanship and woodwork are absolutely beautiful! My 97 year old mother even enjoys watching your videos with me. The doors are amazing!

[@chrisberry9017]

Oh what a joy Kris! Those corner noggins really bring the doors to life! I love being with you on a joinery project - I can feel each cut as you go along. I bet that they smell good too! Another very satisfying project - thank you for taking us along!

[@brianrobertson6475]

Beautiful doors! And very well made. Were they mine, I'd be playing with them for hours. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out. Going in, going out.

[@karenhargreaves1646]

Every bit as good as the Samurai. Exceptional workmanship Kris

[@yogawithshaun]

Kris Thank you for being an inspiration!! Absolutely love tuning in and watching you build. Just beautiful work always!!

[@runtimus5743]

When you are ordering hand made doors and wonder why they cost the bomb, this is why. Brilliant craftsmanship. Well done you, I hope you and your partner have an ace Christmas.

[@mnamber]

I’m amazed at everything you’ve built BY HAND! Just awesome! You should be so, so proud.

[@robertleigh559]

Beautiful heavy doors. Did not realize how massive they were till Kris stood next to them. Fascinating to watch. Thank you for the pleasure.

[@kiweekeith]

What a Stunning set of door Kris ... A true Craftsman.... Very Best to You and Yours for the Festive Season, Thanks for All your Wonderful vidclip Shares .... Keep well and Stay safe and Wishes to All from NZ

[@MrGreattaco]

What a work of art! And your satisfaction brings me joy

[@agunemnon]

The shut lines on those doors are a joy to behold, cabinet making quality woodwork on a barn door!

[@voneschenbachmusic]

Wow!! Those doors are beautiful! Well done!

[@hiddencarmarthenshire5745]

Them doors look brilliant I bet stained glass would look good in them, but probably not the best for a workshop. It was nice seeing the door fitted to the workshop it really sets the place off. Another interesting video 👍

[@idontthinkso666]

Sure, stained glass would be fine in a workshop! Stained glass EVERYWHERE!

[@tobymlyte]

This is absolutely fantastic. Given you're not a joiner by trade, this is something I'm sure many people would be more than happy to pay for. I've really enjoyed your videos right from the beginning when you built your round house on top of tyres. You never cease to impress! You're an inspiration. Given I live in South Wales, my friends and I have talked about visiting you to volunteer some time.

[@mema1122]

You make it look so easy ! You rebated the frame in a seemingly very rustic way but then the two doors hung perfectly !

[@russellsmith8609]

You have all rights to be proud of that no apologies for anything. They should last longer than most of us, cheers.

[@garyfairbrother5532]

SPEC-TAC-U-LAR!!! I enjoy watching Samurai too and you are at least equally talented. Those doors are really appropriate in design and style to the shop. Great, great work, thanks for the video.

[@wolfe1970]

Hope you and your family have a great Christmas, look forward to what next year brings us from you

[@binbalebardac4156]

Those Dbl. doors look incredible!!!

[@HeadstockFilms]

You are a master builder! Those doors are beautiful.

[@mesthead]

The doors are stunning.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Kris those doors look 👀 absolutely stunning 🤩

[@DanDavisHistory]

They look amazing, wonderful work.

[@nick.caffrey]

Magnificence doesn't really do it justice. Your work is exceptional!

[@123turby]

Hey Chris, all I can say is WOW WOW. I have been around for a long time and all I can say is Samurai could not hold a sword to you. Your whole philosophy on life , nature , consumerism and so much more. Just watching you split those shingles was something that so many people would not have taken the time to do and that says so much about you as a person. I could go on and on but I’m sure everyone is on the same page as I am. If I only had the talent in your little finger I would be a happy man. Take care and have a beautiful Christmas. Much love from Canada.

[@MariaCCurry]

yeah, well pleased indeed! come a long way since the tires on the ground before the house build - just so awesome to see the progress over the years - and not only that but to be a small minuscule part of the patreon channel - i guess I’ve helped pay for a few of those stainless steel screws - haha- super proud of the hope for humanity with people like Kris -

[@chrishenderson6500]

Hi Kris, I normally watch your videos on my TV so i cant comment. I would like to say thanks for your videos, they give me ideas and encouragement to do more woodwork. So thanks for them and keep it up.

[@MrFatdaz]

I stumbled on this channel a couple of days ago, absolutely addicted! What a top fella getting the most out of life! Oh to have the enthusiasm and mindset of kris! Keep the videos coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@RagingBlade1]

I love the attention to detail on the joinery, I don't know if anyone else feels the same but just seeing it being done, making sure the cuts are just right and not over, the rounding off the edges, top class. I did notice the slope just before you fitted the doors in but with a little adjustment was all you needed, check if water will drain towards the ACO once you've added back some concrete. In the funny side, those doors are making you look small, 😂😂😂

[@Capfka]

Stunning workmanship, Kris. Now you have all that woodworking gear, there'll be no stopping you! 😄

[@jeandupont9140]

Very beautiful work, a real garage door in real wood as many dream of but few can afford, well done!

[@natalieferraro8048]

I'm working my way through your old videos as well as eagerly watching any news ones you post. It's amazing to see this project compared to the stuff you were doing years ago with essentially just a chainsaw. Either way, the things you create are so impressive! Thanks for sharing your passion, hard work and creativity with the world.

[@MrDavidock]

Wow. That all came together beautifully. The pressure on the sealed trim looks perfect.

[@LitoGeorge]

You're right Kris - superb joinery and doors. I must add that I prefer your organic, natural, flowing style of door/window making compared to Samurai's - yours are superior in my opinion. Congrats on getting those marvels done.

[@robertreid7221]

The kind of work one would expect from a master carpenter Kris, superb finishing!!!

[@zildjian4life433]

Kris, absolutely gorgeous doors man. Brilliant work! A joy to watch.

[@GhostPrefix]

Smashed it - the finish of the tenons - beautiful, elegant work.

[@lindanicholas1705]

Beautiful door, love the clasps or whatever they called...lol...2 big 1 smaller looks planned......great

[@DuncanCox]

Those doors are an optical illusion! Kris looked diddy stood in front! Awesome work!!

[@johnwhelan6115]

Spot-on ! Those fantastic doors are enhanced further with those hinges. Well done - again.

[@nickjacobsen8733]

I rarely comment but these doors were beautiful!!! Gorgeous work my friend

[@averyintrusive7610]

Some of the best content on youtube. That upper workshop will be in full swing very soon. As always, thanks for bringing me along.

[@larrymcdowell6920]

You can certainly be proud of that workshop. Well done.

[@asharmstrong8605]

I've been watching this channel for many months and this is one of my favorite wood working videos i've seen (must have watched a thousand). No nonesence film making, top quality craftsmanship and what a finish as a result. One of the most saitsfying videos I have watched in a long time. I will be back for my next fix soon.

You skills just get better and better! What a beautiful set of doors and the hardware is gorgeous too! Well done, you would make a small fortune in the states making barn and log cabin doors. The project has really came together beautifully

[@rohanfielder6796]

Nice. I reckon doors like this look fantastic but they make you work for it. Your perseverance is stellar. The workshop layout is great. You obviously put tonnes of thought into it and the productivity just keeps increasing Look after yourself mate.

[@michaelfrancis7072]

You're right to be pleased with those doors, they look just great. Well done.

[@weeoutdoorfamily2022]

Beautiful craftsmanship as always Kris.

[@comedianmattrossey]

DAMN BEAUTIFUL DOORS KRIS!!!! I think these are the best doors you've made yet! I love the simplistic design look with the incredible joinery and detail hiding under the surface, it just gives so much more to appreciate when you see them knowing how you put them together. Masterfully done!!!! Matt - Toronto, Canada

[@douggibson9084]

Those are beautiful doors Kris!!! Great job!!

The Samurai Carpenter is a true master carpenter. Yet, you give him a run for his money. Awsome doors as well as all that you have done.
