Sliding Barn Doors | JIMBO'S GARAGE

These are Metal Sliding Barn Doors that I built for a client. I've wanted to weld sliding barn door for forever and finally got a chance.

This sliding barn door project was a fun welding project. These barn doors look industrial made of metal standing about 8 feet tall. I fabricated these out of some square tubing and angle iron. I like the hardware for these rolling barn doors, they roll really smooth.
Tools I used in this video:
Barn Door Hardware: amzn.to/2AtgIhi
Fein Metal Cutting Saw: amzn.to/2CUHlyU
Metal Marking Pencil: amzn.to/2CtSHIP

I really enjoy your format with sped up video with voice-over commentary. It's great for those who understand what's going on and just want to observe your technique and project build without a lot of filler. Great job!

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, Jimbo!

[@erikslagter3231]

Very nice look in the end! I think this would even consider a great beginner/intermediate project

[@rhinomite5203]

Great videos, no doubt, one of the best on KZbin that I've found. Clean shop, Clean tools, clean work. I'm also in contracting in NM and your videos a really good example of clean work. I get more comments in my biz about organization and cleanliness. That's a big reason you always have work and projects. Keep welding

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, Jimbo!

[@rustrtal]

Hey Jimbo, a trick I use when working with small pieces like the handle is to leave the short legs long, weld them and then cut to the final length. This way you have more to hold/clamp or put into the corner vice. Nice project!

[@joseluissotomoreno1854]

Hello Jimbo you seem to make all this proyects so nice and also very enjoyable it's great to see you in action congratulations.

[@AbamAdy]

superb finishing

[@Skeetmgeett]

You knocked that one out. Good job

[@damiang6892]

Very good work I’m actually about to do start on some and wasn’t to sure how to start them, thanks Jimbo.

[@JustinCrediblename]

cleanest barn I've ever seen.

[@phillhuddleston9445]

I was wondering where all the animals were.

[@davidlenz4552]

This is probably my favorite project of yours. It’s very inspiring. I think I am going to try to add steel sliding barn doors to my catalog for my clients, this aesthetic matches closely with my clients tastes.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching David, Yes that would be a great home project for someone! Jimbo!

[@timsworkshop85]

I appreciate your attention to detail on your projects. well done, nice build.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Tim, Jimbo!

[@dasmith3054]

Really nice looking work on the doors, as usual, keep up the great work!

[@angelojoson1736]

I like Jimbo because he is like a veteran fabrication instructor :)

[@shutterbugg5217]

Very nice. You should try TIG welding. I think you would have liked it for the handles.

[@mikefurnas3997]

Strong Work!!!

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Mike, Jimbo!

[@eddiekawecki2510]

Great job! I really like the way you present your projects. Reading the comment from Gary and your reply I understand where you're both coming from. I'll bet we are about even with burn holes, you in your socks and me in my tee shirts and shirts.LOL. One thing I did long ago was to quit wearing work boots with laces, always high slip on boots. I got tired of shortening and replacing laces and the occasional jump in a puddle when a hot one just laid on the tongue of the boot and burned through. My work was mostly outside on heavy equipment. Thanks for the videos, keep them coming. Ed K. Cleve. Oh.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching and your good comments Eddie, Jimbo!

[@theanvil5288]

[@BTZBanana]

Really nice video!

[@danteruizpecchio5588]

Excelente. Entiendo poco inglés. Pero me gusta ver su forma de trabajar. Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos. Tengo 47 años y hace 3 años que estoy aprendiendo a soldar con electrodo. Más adelante voy a comprar la MIG.. Gracias saludos

[@gabotrial]

Dejame recomendarte un canal muy bueno, "herreria casera". No esta al nivel de construccion de jimbo pero es en español y hace proyectos muy interesantes con herramientas mas basicas, mas al nivel de lo que se puede conseguir en latinoamerica. Sigue aprendiendo!

[@jeffhulett4194]

Nice looking doors.

[@hhprogressiveconstruction1140]

JIMBO'S GARAGE it’s billy jimbo 👍 . I have William on my Instagram page which ever is fine .

[@PLAWorkshop]

Looking good 👍

[@pedroeldoroveri1275]

Grande Jumbos....

[@wasanoix]

Those welds 😍

[@ChrisGraham00]

i was surprised to see you measuring each piece prior to cutting esp when cutting several of the same length. figured youd have a cool saw stop setup to create consistent repeat cuts.

[@JDAfrica]

How was the glass installed? Was there a cover strip - or perhaps they just used epoxy or black silicone?

[@christopherthomasson5418]

I am wondering the same thing? I'm in the middle of a similar project and looking for ideas

[@bagheadbaby]

@@christopherthomasson5418 did you come up with a solution? i have a customer wanting a similar job and thinking how to secure the glass

[@gusorviston1]

Inquiring minds want to know. A similar 1/2 with set screw could work but 1/16 leaves nothing to tap. Mmm

[@BigLeafDropper86]

I would like to know also

[@justtestingonce]

A lot of European versions use putty.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nicely done! 👍👊

[@4seasonsbbq]

Jimbo I love your videos, have you ever done French or patio doors. I want to do some patio doors so your video on that would be great. Keep up the great work my friend

[@Godofhouse]

Brooooooo the corner vise looks like this thing we sell at my job Strong hand tools

[@garywilliams7233]

How was the glass mounted. Thanks Gary

[@elsart0]

Hi Jimbo. You did a good job, as always. In your opinion, this project could be welded with stick (with some light rods like 6013) or the tube gage is too thin to do so? Thanks for your videos. Sart0

[@Kaliereamsbottom4]

Five years late, but 1/8 6010 will work

[@droy333]

Those handles were the perfect opportunity to cut a 90 out of one side and bend it to a 90. Then you have a nice smooth show.

[@royervalenzuela7163]

Love this video , I have a question, how you measure everything,? From the frame of the door to the installation?

[@chrisjames6349]

How is the glass held in place? Many thanks

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Chris, Silicone, Jimbo!

[@89a1stakesauceban5]

Hey bud nice work. How did they wind up holding the glass in the frame? Adhesives?

[@duncpap]

How did you hold the Glass inside

[@mudhaula]

Wow great job 👏🏼👏🏼... gotta ask do you adjust your slugger for that 45 degree cut or is it the factory setting? Those cuts are perfect I’ve never been able to cut a perfect 45 using my chop saw.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, Yes adjust it anywhere from 0 - to 45 degrees. Jimbo!

[@Rattletrap2]

You sure are getting some interesting projects these days! I guess it comes with the territory between your contractor contacts from the concrete business and just plain word of mouth. It seems like you be busier than even you want to be? lol Anyways, another good one Jimbo! Happy New Year!

[@JimbosGarage]

Yes Brian, it's kinda fun! Jimbo!

[@AW-Services]

Lovely build

[@fabiangonzalez1391]

Jimbo's garage how was the glass installed?

[@javi-g9161]

Saludos jimbo's garage. desde argentina javi-g

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching from Argentina!! Jimbo!

[@markcnc]

Very Nice! How do they open the doors from the other side with no handles?

[@danieloristanio6322]

good question

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Mark, Not sure i'm the builder not the designer. Jimbo!

[@amanuelyos6644]

What sort of welding is this called? Also, what is the easiest welding to learn ... THANK YOU

[@shootingspears2670]

Two thumbs up. They look pretty heavy duty. I know it was two years ago but do you remember the weight of the doors?

[@philerdley8432]

First! Awesome project Jimbo!

[@timraeoi]

Great work man. I'd like to upgrade to the welder you used on this project. I know you mention it but can you post a link to who sells it? Thanks, keep up the good work and professional videos.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watchingTim, It is a HTP mig 2400, You can order it from USAWeld.com Or call 800 USA - Weld. Jimbo!

[@argotungsten4336]

Nice doors. On another vid , didn't u mention that u use PAM cooking spray to minimize spatter ? Do u still use it ?

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, yes i still use it, It works great! Jimbo!

[@paulc9395]

Nice build. Do you have any idea how much they weigh with the glass? Also what brand of hardware did you use to hang them?

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Paul, I don't know the weight, I know the hardware came from amazon. Jimbo!

[@thijsterdenge1647]

Hi Jimbo, Nice video as always. Did you grind off the welds or are those welds still visible after powder coating? Keep up the good work. Thijs.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Thijs, I ground them off before paint. Jimbo!

[@mateusoliveira6687]

Goooood

[@citroenhy7949]

Can you share a hint how did they manage to place glass in place? is a rubber seal or something?

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, I think they used silicone. Jimbo!

[@hawkdaddy64]

Why didn't you use plug welds on the angle iron to hide your work?

[@grzegorzfyda3139]

[@dmstudiofoto8784]

how do you prevent rust? i dont see u use galvanised alot sir

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Marvin, They were powder coated. Jimbo!

[@jagboy69]

Marvin, Jim is in the land of fruits and nuts. It's pretty dry in Cali. Welding galvanized steel is no no. The doors look great, but I hate that black powder coating look. It's good for car parts, not interior doors. Shows someone has zero imagination. There are thousands of metal finishes out there without resorting to boring black.

[@melgross]

Actually, welding galvanized is a very common practice. Just be aware of the fumes, and protect yourself.

[@vigisbigtm]

Sorry, what's the thickness of the section?

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Nice work. :-)

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Richard. Jimbo!

[@eirikskogh]

Hey, what is the minum required welder for this type of project?

[@jaimemendoza5163]

Start with a flux core wire machine they are inexpensive, and easy to get started with.

[@cleanearthhaulingjunkremoval]

Hey Jimbo great video as always. I wanted to ask how did the contractor end up securing the glass in place.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, Silicone. Jimbo!

[@carloceglia4]

@@JimbosGarage just silicone or make a 'sandwich' like usalo you do with the iron-wood projects? i'm in the middle of building somethin like this!

there is no part how to install glass on the door i really want to know.. 🤔

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, I did not do that part, I think they siliconed them in. Jimbo!

[@melgross]

I worry about not wearing gloves and sleeves, with t-shirts. It’s not just sunburn, it’s melanoma that’s the long term risk. No cure for that.

[@GarryFullerSr]

I can't believe the people on you tube Welding, Grinding and moving large pieces of Steel and there wearing short pants and sandals. It's just unreal to me. I've been a Millwright/Welder since 1970. Seen quite a few ugly injuries.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Garry, I agree with you, what i do and wear is not right most of the time. But i do live in Southern California were it is 75-80 in the winter, And 90-110 in the summer. I try to be as comfortable as possible.. My shop is on my property, Where i have been do this for years, I'm saying that is right, I guess i take it for granted. I know i should practice more safety. i'm also 245 lbs. it is hard for me to bend down. with pants and boots on it would feel like i had a suit of armor on. Thanks for your concerns and advice Garry, I will try to change my ways.. Jimbo!

[@GarryFullerSr]

JIMBO'S GARAGE we'll thanks for replying. I just don't like to see anyone get hurt. I'm in Nv. So I know about the heat. I know that everyone is diff. Watch your channel all the time, ( even with your short pants ). Take-Care
