Rustic Oak Door Project Ep12 | Penultimate Episode of 'How to make a front door'
Uncle Al adds some finishing touches to the rustic oak front door by adding the beading to the door window; fixing the sliding gate to the inside of the oak door so it's got that prison style, or Prohibition era, feel; and fixing the letterbox in place.
There's a few bits outstanding that will be added when the door is hung - locks, handles, escutcheons and drip beads.
One last episode to come and then this puppy is done! In the meantime we'd really love to hear your thoughts, and if you haven't already... SUBSCRIBE!

We've got a couple of episodes in reserve, just working out what bigger project we should take on next - thanks for comment, it's always nice to be someone's guilty pleasure - like a French aristocrat's mistress waiting in her maid's outfit in a lonely hotel room. Or something.

Nice job Al! I had a couple of critiques but not important enough to mention. I think the customer will love it!

[@DirtyShedCreations]

Peter, what's on your mind? Al's a big boy, he can take the critique...

[@petervalcanas4219]

@@DirtyShedCreations Well! I mentioned one issue on the last video about the mail slot being so low. The the other issue was already mentioned and I hadn't noticed and that was the grain direction of the sliding window but the door still looks amazing. Tell Al to stop crying now it will be fine. haha

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

Evening Peter, I did get back to you on the mail slot didn’t I? Just gonna check!

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

Yep on the letterbox! Do agree on the grain direction - it wasn’t till tonight that it really hit me though. I thought a bit of grain variation might have added a bit of ‘flare’ (or flair?). Hmmm, it just didn’t work! But you live and learn. Cheers for watching! I am crying though, like a big girl!

Because we are either before our time, or we missed it due to all the drugs and booze.

Yeah, guess so! There had to be a reason, knew that much!

Been asking the same for a while now. You deserve a helluva lot more views, and you've been stuck on 1730 subscribers for ages. That is just wrong on so many levels 😥

Sikaflex 298 is a wood glue. I work primarily on boats and it is just about all i use as glue. If you buy the sausages it is cheaper.

[@DirtyShedCreations]

Thanks for product info, and also me and boys are getting through Hanna on Prime - thanks for the recommendation!

[@simoncroatia]

Dirty Shed Creations Bosch is quiet good too oh and Goliath. 🤷‍♂️

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

Hmm, interesting stuff Simon! Think you need to tell us more about your boat building??

[@simoncroatia]

YorkshireJoinery My Job title is skipper and project manager of the rebuild of a 27 metre steel sailing boat. She is 20 years old and we have replaced some steel but mostly wood within the boat as well as new wooden deck. New electrics throughout and new engines. I do some of the carpentry as well as I also trained as a carpenter when I left the army.

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

Sounds really interesting. My Dad was a very keen yatchman and had his master’s ticket! He also built model boats, but building the real thing is quite a thing! Is there any chance of you getting us any photos of your work? We’d love to highlight ‘what our stalwart subscribers are up too! You salty old sea dog you!

[@DirtyShedCreations]

If you're UK based I can put you in touch with Al directly. Or are you just imagining your dream home scenario? Either way, thanks for commenting!

[@simoncroatia]

290DC is for caulking decks and a bit more sensitive but again a fantastic product.

[@DirtyShedCreations]

Thanks Simon, finishes is something we're gonna delve into at some point, we might have to tap you up for some inspiration when we get to it.

[@simoncroatia]

Dirty Shed Creations I always try to finish first if I can. 🤷‍♂️

[@simoncroatia]

Dirty Shed Creations Finishes I’m no expert and what I’m about to say is my own personal experience. Currently I’m using 2 component Polyurethane based finishes. I like the quality of finish and the longevity of the finish. They are easy to apply with brush or spray and until now seem to last much longer then oil based varnish. Hi gloss varnish is extremely difficult to get perfect and looks terrible unless it is perfect, mat finish isn’t everyone’s cup of tea so I usually mix equal quantities of mat and gloss to get an eggshell type of finish. When applying I always thin the first coat by 50% to help it penetrate the wood. When reapplying varnish I am mindful of the amount of time between coats. If the previous coat it totally dry/cured then sanding is required to get a mechanical bond, if the previous coat is still soft or slightly tacky then the bond is chemical and no sanding required. 1 mistake i see some people make is to sand between coats using a high grit paper, this just polishes the previous surface and isn’t rough enough to get a mechanical bond. I won’t use a higher grit then 150 between coats. Another advantage of 2 component PU varnish/paint is that once fully cured you can sand with a high grit paper 1500-2000 grit and polish of you need a perfect finish. About 15 years ago a friend was building a steel ship and asked me to make all the windows for him from oak which I did, on completion I asked if he wanted me to varnish them and he did, he asked that I use oil based varnish and he wanted 12 coats applied. I laughed thinking he was joking but he wasn’t, he told me to try just 1 window and see the result so I did. Wow! After 9 coats the window looked amazing so I applied 12 coats to all of them. The main problem I have with brush on oil varnish is that it needs revarnishing quiet regularly and applying 12 coats is quiet time consuming and you can’t apply too many coats without through drying or it will become quiet orangepeely and look horrible. Chopping boards I make my own finish using board oil and beeswax, just melt the wax mix in the oil and ready to go. Nice finish but doesn’t last long before needing reapplying. I don’t like water based products and have very little experience with them. 🤷‍♂️ Hope this helps. 👍

[@eliasschreiegg1745]

thats a nice looking door and all but i´m curious how its supposed to stay flat and consistent in size? if you answered that in another video let me know, didnt watch them all.

[@DirtyShedCreations]

Great question Elias, and tbh idk. The door was biscuit jointed, glued, and then riveted together, but Al's shoddy workmanship doesn't come with a guarantee! It'll undoubtedly warp and bow and turn into a complete nightmare being an outside door open to all the elements the UK weather has to offer. I'd ask Al to defend himself, but he's taken the cash and done a runner!

[@georgecalcei8068]

Too bad the grain direction on the window slide didn’t match the door.

[@DirtyShedCreations]

Hey George, that was Al's decision - think it works being counter to the grain of the main door, but maybe next time!

[@georgecalcei8068]

Only I would notice the grain direction. The door is a work of art! I hope people appreciate the time and work involved and compensate you accordingly.

[@DirtyShedCreations]

@@georgecalcei8068 As Al said, he's notoriously terrible at pricing, so the client got a real deal - live and learn!

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

Evening George! It’s Al here (secretive account)! You know I really gave it some thought with the grain direction for the ‘gate’. I thought at the time, a contrast would just show a little flare! It wasn’t till tonight that I totally agree with you! It was the only thought I had whilst watching this actually! Bad decision on my part! Cheers for watching though, appreciate your thoughts too! All the best!

[@georgecalcei8068]

YorkshireJoinery Al, I understand your decision. Door looks great. I love your content and sense of humor. Makes my day when a new video comes out. I only hope you get compensated appropriately. I understand, however, you price like I do....too cheap. Thanks for your comments.
