🔷 ABOUT ME 🔷
Hey guys, Sam here and welcome to Samcraft! My channel is all about the happenings in my small workshop. From CNC woodworking to laser engraving, shop projects, small business talk, and more -- you'll find it all on Samcraft.
In this video I build the door for my shed workshop using the off cut from the siding and some simple materials. This door will not warp or sag and is super strong and easy to build!

The addition of construction adhesive in building the door will take it to another level.

[@ferenkmendez2083]

Always.!!! I'm happy to watch your new videos, every video is a class for me.!!!

[@BlurpeeBaggins]

I built the door on my storage shed the same way except I put the 2x4s turned so the door was thicker and I filled it with styrofoam packing peanuts I had laying around just in case I someday wanted to weatherize the shed. I figured better in my door than in the garbage can. Really enjoying this series!

[@robertbates5537]

Great idea.

[@jeffvoght1632]

I loved the speed-up! I wish that it went that fast in real life! That door is strong, you can tell. I dont think I'm strong enough to install it. Loved the video.

[@gigichristensen2547]

Thank you for being so easy to catch on to. You have a Nice way of explaning the steps you take, and I Will be following you from Denmark. Thank you for your videos Gigi

[@johnleonard5857]

Love the door. It’s basically a torsion box. They never flex.

[@ChuckisOutside]

I made some trusses similar to this about 40 years ago. I used wood glue and galvanized nails back then. I preloaded them 1/2” in 20’. The shop is still in very good condition. Good video. New subscriber.

[@tylercarpenter3648]

Good video man I’m a craftsman brother let the haters hate

[@DaveGatton]

Great job Sam. 👍🏻The new shop is coming along great. Well done.

[@echothegoodwolf]

I’m going to use this design to create a Dutch door for my shed. Looks very user friendly!

[@ronnorris1504]

Great job on the door. Have really enjoyed videos on the shop build from the start. Look forward to the rest

[@Samcraftcom]

Awesome, thank you!

[@kellycarroll6829]

hi Sam & Angela & family, you are doing such a good job! Blessings to your fam. : )

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you so much!

[@patrickoconnor2941]

Great job. A real life solution for a custom door.

[@penman1289]

What a great idea , i will be building a backyard gate and i will put some angled braces inside .thanks from the UK .

[@howtodoitdude1662]

This is a common sense build. Much faster than building the frame first as many do. Thanks for sharing!

[@daviddeangelis1532]

Looking good! One tip I would pass along is put some 4” casters on your wire rack shelf. I did that a few years ago and it works great! Makes it easy to clean and for now will let you move it easier during construction. Can’t wait to see the next one and what color you pick😎

[@foundrylabz]

I agree with David here. Put casters on rack shelf. I bought mine from Costco, those already come with casters, but i had one from some other place and ordered the casters from amazon. Makes is so much easier to move around if needed.

[@Samcraftcom]

Oh, very cool idea! Off to see what I can order! :)

[@cheriethompson7725]

I love building as well as lazor. My Dad used to build and sell. He got ahead and finally owned our last house. It is good. You and your family do good.

[@Samcraftcom]

That is awesome!

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Nice to see the progress on the shop. Keep at it!

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks 👍

[@mlm7598]

Great job Sam. I can't wait to see the painting and the rest of your shop go together. Actually, I am envious. We have a garage the size of your work shop and now I want a craft shop about that size...........LOL Great door! Love it and it's going to last............best of luck to you all. Blessings

[@wiltheisen7873]

Nice job on the door. And great production value on the video. Intersecting your comments with the sped up video is great. Thank you.

[@Samcraftcom]

Much appreciated!

[@markduggan3451]

It's coming along well.

[@IM-iw7wd]

I just want to thank you for helping me out, I built my shed door the same way. It’s heavy door!

[@Samcraftcom]

Happy to help!

[@bryce86777]

The osb turn the form into a torsion box! The added weight is worth it for strength and solid closing of the door over the years.

[@raloem8119]

I just followed your instructions and it works great. Thanks a lot

[@yellowhammerwoodcrafts]

Really enjoyed watching the new shop go up. Great job! I wish I could have built my own shop but wood was so expensive I went with metal.

[@gkbuilding]

The price of wood has stopped several of my projects!

[@michaelsandoval9353]

Thanks!

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you!

[@TheWoodHaven]

I like that door style. I really like the price tag.

[@Samcraftcom]

Just about can't beat it for a shed building like this. :)

[@thomasrogers7614]

Good job bro 🔥

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

Thanks for the video. I'm in the middle of building a shed and was debating how I want to do the door. I'll use your method.

[@michaelsnell4034]

torsion box construction. Insulate with DOW board or some rigid insulation if you intend to do the rest of the shop while you have the skins off.

[@Samcraftcom]

Insulating inside the door space is wasted money. The dead air space inside the door is plenty.

[@gkbuilding]

Seems like a simple and sturdy way to build a door!

[@cheriethompson7725]

Thank you for sharing. I'm not so organized. Maybe someday.

[@mickeygrogan2979]

for a big guy you sure do move fast

Hey man, what you shoulda done is-- Lol! I'm messing with you. So many armchair quarterbacks on KZbin. Love the video, bud! Really great way to approach this part of the process.

[@Samcraftcom]

I appreciate your humor, you're dead-right about all the experts. :)

[@unionse7en]

I like the door design. You know this by now ;-) but don't forget to Z flash the top edge of the siding below the door.

[@lazarofranco1493]

One more follower and thanks for you videos

[@carlosrg68]

i remember grizzly adams, real good

[@CarstenDittrich2014]

Looking good. I like the way you built your door. I was wondering whether you should/would have used some insulation in between the sandwhich panels? Here in Denmark, that's a must for sure 🙂

[@Samcraftcom]

Dead air space inside door is insulation.

[@GTOoo]

Hey man. How are you liking the Craftsman tool? Thanks for the feedback.

[@lizzapaolia959]

Excellent video, great common sense as well. My husband and I built a gate using the same method, except we used 1/4 plywood for the back as it's an outdoor gate exposed to rain. We then put wood laminate on the front. Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@mhess427]

How much smaller did you frame the door than the rough opening?

[@bobnicholas5994]

The secret is that you didn't spare the screws on the door. I am addicted to my router. It is an intimidating tool until you use it and have the ooohhh moment. Why didn't I use it earlier. I am going to AC my workshop in one of the doors. I was skeptical about doing it but you have convinced me it's a great idea. Thks..

[@Samcraftcom]

True... screwed the devil out of it! :) I only have one router and it's lived its sad life in the extension wing of my table saw. I rarely think of using it until well after the fact. Poor Mr. Router...

[@huntingtimes5474]

Every video you upload, why do people put you down by telling you how it should be done!? I’m a happy watcher and glad you’re doing something rather than pay cowboys to build it.

[@Samcraftcom]

I really appreciate that! You're absolutely right... every video there's the comments...

[@jwb0323]

What kind of plywood is that ? Is it multiple panels ? Do you need to stain the door ? Looks great !

[@razvanilea]

When you put the door in place I was screaming Watch the fingers!!!

[@irwinjimenez]

Great video, bud. Thanks. I'm building the exact same thing now. What thickness OSB board did you use?

[@enoch327]

I think I am going to borrow your idea for an interior door. The skins will be made out of 3/8 inch plywood and the frame will be made out of 2 by 3's . Hopefully it will be light enough for me to lift.

[@terrypen]

6:12 Is that an unpickable lock? 😁

[@rowanchong7225]

That door must have weighed a ‘ton’ lol… great job

[@Samcraftcom]

It sure did!

[@gitss7367]

A missed opportunity for the building time lapse, Yakkety Sax from Benny Hill

[@solinrf]

What are the dimensions of the opening versus the door dimensions? I am wondering how much of a gap needs to be left for the door to open properly.

[@EduardoJimenez-rk8nw]

Great door ! I would have insulated it . Just saying . 🙏

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

I figured you were going to use the cut out for the door.

[@skylarhigdon1787]

Looking to build new doors for my grandpas shed. Is this door design good for limiting water from getting in the shed? Having to replace the floor as well due to water coming in under the door when it rains. Thanks!

[@jonathonpevehouse3641]

what about water leaking around the door?

[@morick11]

I really enjoy your videos. I found your channel when searching for Shapeoko information. Thank you for those videos. I was wondering. Are you going to insulate your shop? It looks like your old one might be. I was wondering why you didn't put insulation between your door panels? Not to be critical, too many of those people already. I was just curious. Keep up the good content!

[@Samcraftcom]

Yeah, I'll insulate the walls and ceiling eventually. The door is insulated--the dead air space is insulation. :)

[@stevedonalson5675]

That is a super hollow door. The only thing different I would’ve done is, put insulation in the door before I closed it up.

[@HalfAssHomestead]

I would have bought some rigid board insulation, and installed that in the door during the build so it is done when you get ready to move forward with insulating the rest of the building.

[@Samcraftcom]

It's already insulated -- dead air space is R3.6 per inch.

[@17allen17]

Looking good as always. Can't wait to see your shop layout. Did you decide on a table saw or not? BTW, I bought the Genmitsu 600x600. I am building an enclosure under my Shapeoko CNC.

[@Samcraftcom]

I have a feeling the table saw will travel over with me for the sake of not spending money right now. I'm not excited, but it may just have to be what it is at this point in time. Congrats on the Genmitsu!! I want to build an enclosure for mine, too.

[@17allen17]

@@Samcraftcom I am just trying to get the smoke outside. I am trying to learn lightburn as we speak. Slate coasters, here I come! Any thoughts on the combo table?

[@Stickyickygnar]

Those fast-forward saw sounds are horrendous😂

[@mikerallo4851]

Loved watching your build of the new shop. Did you ever consider spray foam insulation for the new shop? It can get COLD in Tennessee just like it can get cold in North Carolina. Insulation works both for heat and cold. A lot of Sothern builders didn't consider insulation when they were building some years ago.

[@Samcraftcom]

I've not looked at it lately... I'm not a fan of how spray insulation locks your electrical into place or forces you to use conduit and exterior runs. Last I looked it was also extremely pricey.

[@workswithwoodyeg]

I would consider putting the hinges on the inside rather than the outside, a little more secure.

[@susansmith574]

No insulation in that door?

[@Samcraftcom]

It is insulated. Dead air space.

[@susansmith574]

@@Samcraftcom oooh ok I’m learning from you as I’m building my she shed this spring. I’m from Saskatchewan where the winters are so brutal, I’d never be able to make it warm enough if every inch wasn’t insulated to the max lol. You have a lot of great tips 👍 can’t wait till I can get started.

[@Samcraftcom]

@@susansmith574 Ahh In that case, insulate everything!!!

[@trvman1]

It looks like you used a new piece of siding? Or did you put up a whole panel and then cut out the piece and reuse that piece you cut out?

[@robl496]

Just concerned about the hinges .. built a door like yours with only one side of plywood Door is heavy …. Not sure what type of hinges to buy

[@jerryhubbard4461]

Why did you go 24 centers on the studs?

[@Chopperdoll]

I’ve built 3 catios and every door sagged. I’ve checked the the hinges, square and everything people said to fix a sagging door. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong.

[@bubbajeph]

Insulating?

[@jimmyfonce9330]

Hello sir so what is the opening size?

[@jeffreyhearn8404]

We get a lot of snow where I am, would it be OK to do an in-swing? Any disadvantages?

[@Samcraftcom]

I can’t think of any problems with an in swing door in this manner. It’s basically a slab door, so would work fine. :)

[@jeffreyhearn8404]

@@Samcraftcom thank you.

[@samueladams584]

How much space did you leave for the door edges

[@Samcraftcom]

About 1/4"

[@jamesbarton875]

Could this work for up to 72" width? I am trying to decide between this and a roll up door for a 6 foot opening

[@Tinnitussss]

would it be possible to use a door made this style as interior doors? What do you think? I want to have better doors in terms of sound isolation, unfortunately the doors are in the market not that great, one option would be to go for solid doors, but they are crazy expensive and generally considered in luxury class.

[@nicecobra1991]

The way we soundproof and insulate our doors in Russia we covered existing doors with some fiber insulation material , then covered it with with faux leather and nailed it with decorative nails. It was warm, soundproof and looked rich. You can do it on one or both sides of the door. Also, sound goes well through the gaps around the door. So make sure there is a good seal around the edges ,top and bottom of the door. Good luck!

[@Tinnitussss]

@@nicecobra1991 sounds like a good idea!, thanks for the suggestion!

[@bernardlauer2582]

If I was I I would have put foam board in it as I was building it

[@Samcraftcom]

That isn't needed at all. The dead air space is enough insulation by itself.

[@robertbates5537]

Sam.... are you insulating the workshop?

[@Samcraftcom]

I will -- the walls and ceiling.

[@russellparkerart]

No perline!

[@robertbankhead8661]

As per google, "Insulation R-Value Material R value(ft^2 °F h/Btu Flat glass (0.125 in thick) 0.89 Insulating glass(0.25 in space) 1.54 Air space (3.5 in. thick) 1.01 Free stagnant air layer 0.17" Cost wise, for me, 3.5" of Rockwool is about R 14. In Western Arkansas, it can get hot & cold. Do as you wish, but for me, I would fill the hollow door with rockwool. 1.01 vs R 14, the numbers speak to me.

[@Dredster747]

Why not make the center 2x4 angled from corner to corner? Would make it even stronger if you angle it correctly relative to how the door sits.
