English Oak Cupboard - Part 3: Assembly and Finish

In the final episode on this little cupboard build I complete the construction and finishing of the door and then install it at the customers house. I haven’t got great photos/video of it fitted so perhaps keep an eye on my Instagram for some photos of it in the future!

It was a pleasure to see a true craftsman at work. You are an artist. I plan on cutting my first beaded face frame this week. Your video really helps.

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Beautiful piece of craftsmanship

[@BradshawJoinery]

thanks Peter

[@paultay23]

Now I have finished watching.... Another quality build.. Craftsman at work 👍👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Paul ! :D

[@michaelking3687]

Very nice. Level of detail in marking out, and explanation of execution was a real treat. Haven’t seen your videos before but can tell a good joiner when I see one. Many thanks, mike

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Mike. Very kind of you and pleasure to pick up your comment.

[@mikehewitt6484]

Great craftsmanship, knowledge and application, with the best materials. You should have a teaching qualification too. From apprentice to master. I hope the new owners of the door and face frame jamb combination, appreciate the level of detail and experience goes into creating bespoke furniture like this. I’m sure it’s worth more than the price you charged. Superb …

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou mike! The new owner is incredibly proud and started inviting people in off the street just to see it! Quite the embarasment ha ha

[@leftwichprojects]

Superb work Ollie, really enjoyed watching these 3 part videos on this door and frame 👍🏼

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Buddy, whatever we can get our hands on right! got to save as much money as possible

[@ColinDH12345]

Binge-watching some of your videos. Absolutely superb, skilled work. Your explanations are brilliant. Thanks for taking the time to make this series of videos. I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed them. Thank you. Cant understand why you don't have 1 million subscribers!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Colin. I get that comment a lot, i wish there was a million haha!

[@robertfrost4086]

Top tip - when you transfer the marks for the frame hinges on to the frame (roughly 26 mins into you vid) use a chisel and lay the flat end on the edge (back of chisel) of the door hinge edge - kind of roll it onto the edge of the frame to only mark 1 -2 mm (no more than depth of hinge rebate. Marks it perfectly - like using a marking knife.~ Also I have seen so Many doors cut square at the 'leading edge' probably because of the common use of electric planes to fit doors now. Lots of people would probably appreciate knowing how simple that is to do - especially with a hand plane :)

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Robert, yeah thats a good shout i will try it! And good suggestion for a quick video that, noted!

[@skuzmanovic3227]

Nicely done! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@BradshawJoinery]

[@mattcable6379]

Another cracking video Ollie. Keep them up. Really appreciated

[@BradshawJoinery]

Niceone Matt,thanks for that :D

[@ianwatson9096]

Beautiful! Really like the sheen you've got on this door.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Ian, it looks really good in person, struggled to get a decent photo/shot if it in the room

[@TheTommy1990]

Really nice work

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks a lot!

[@Dazza19746]

Brilliant! So you don’t worry too much about squaring up the doors at glue up? Just trim them dead square later on panel saw👍🏻 Nice! Eliminating a bit of stress. It would need to be pretty shonky for anyone to pick any variation in top and bottom rail from one side to other ( non parallel)

[@BradshawJoinery]

Yes and no on the squaring. Ive found from experience if the joint look right and your kit is square you have to try quite hard to knock it out of square.... so i generally trust it and check where necessary or where the fit is critical. The panel saw sizing just helps keep fitting spot on. very easy to plane a casement to fit a frame and the frame be slightly out of square..... hence if you know the door is perfect when fitting you can adjust the frame to suit and you have a perfectly parallel and square opening. Just need to take care on edge cuts that the blade doesnt deflect across the width of a door,

[@chriswild2458]

Grand job as usual ,do those socks make your feet go brown when you ride your bike home 😳 Seriously though excellent craftsmanship

[@BradshawJoinery]

Teriibly so Chris! The oil is a git to get out of your toes. makes them shine though! Thanks Mate

[@dennisboisen]

So nice! Hope you will one day make a traditional external oak door! Want to make a new front door for my house, but very uncertain how to go about it with floating panels and avoid water ingress..

[@BradshawJoinery]

When i have one to make i will, but its much the same process. bed the panel in on some flexible sealant, quite often they are beaded in from the inside so if you do get an issue you can remove beads and reseal panel! Still possible if grooved in, just cut moulding off remove panel then use beading to replace on inside. ideally the panel wants a flat part where it enters the groove to allow movement

[@jackphilpott5727]

@@BradshawJoinery I am making a painted finish external door at the moment it is 1m wide by 2.8m tall! 4 raised panels and two lights at the top, what sealant do you suggest is best for the panels and is it better to prime the panels before glueing up? Love your videos mate absolutely top notch! Very difficult to find good joinery info and resources these days I'm trying to search for some good old joinery books too, I didn't have the best apprenticeship, so I'm trying my best to self-improve!

[@GaryHollingsworth]

Beautiful craftsmanship. What kind of stain and clear wax did you use?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Gary, from memory, it was a chestnut spirit stain i mixed myself from a few colours, i think mainly english walnut and a oak colour. the wax is again chestnut, but a hardwax oil, bit like applying a teak oil, but its similar qualities to a lacquer in that it dries fast.

[@GaryHollingsworth]

Thanks

[@paultay23]

Which charity shop do you get your socks from Ollie... I am sending my missus on a sock hunt 😂

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha! brilliant. avoid unwashed ones lol

[@DaveEdmondson]

Hi mate, hope your well?? I have a question in regards to panel saws and I'm interested in your opinion. I have always used a table saw and added sleds/jigs etc to cut sheet material and timber stock. Im considering purchasing a sliding panel saw, only thing I'm not keen on is the floor space it takes up. I notice you use the vertical wall saw and wondered your reason for it? Does it give a good splinter free cut on both sides of plywood etc? Is there any maintenance or things that need replacing regularly on them? I really like the space saving and convineance of the vertical panel saw I'm just not experienced at using this type of machine. Would appreciate your thoughts on why you use it and what you think of them overall. Kind regards from Perth Australia.

[@BradshawJoinery]

They work really well for big cuts and sheets. Incredibly accurate and easy to use. Bit of a pain turning sheets to reference from a clean cut edge but it's as much effort as getting a sheet flat on a panel saw I think. You can't do bevel or angle cuts on them which is a big downfall. If you just want accurate square cuts then that are great. Perfect for my carcass production. You can get ones with a pre scoring cutter head I think 👍. For me it's perfect. I only do square cuts, I don't use it that often but wouldn't be without it. I defimi6 cannot warrant a big table saw capable of 8x4 sheets in my workshop space. I'd deffo have one if I had the space though!

[@DaveEdmondson]

@@BradshawJoinery I agree 100% I guess it one of those things we always do no matter what we purchase, we will always feel we need another machine to make life easier 😂😂 I have felder coming out in the next few weeks to go through there panel saw options he believes for me as a single operator non production based work the hammer k4 is a good all round option. Will see what happens 😀👍

[@Goodwithwood69]

Leading edge off the door? Nah just leave a massive gap like all the wood butchers do in London, leave all the edges razor sharp while your at it!(top work by the way, i enjoy seeing it done right!)

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha Matthew! Planer ripples acceptable finish along with caulk in the hinge recess to cover the gaps

[@Goodwithwood69]

And why bother sorting out the head gap! Quarter inch to rubbing is cool!

[@larryduncan6756]
