Woodworking: Kinetic Door

Watch as I make a Kinetic Door to cover up my laundry room

[@CptSpears007]

I think some doors with shelving on the front would be good there. It would make the laundry room like a hidden room.

Dude, you deserve your own tv show. Natural sarcasm is a commodity you should cash in on. Well done

[@dawnminix3962]

Well said. Impressive tutorial and diy project. Very cool.

[@lavendereyesgal1125]

Love the idea of the door

[@marstemarnie5519]

Like the realness of your video and share the problems you encountered Thanks

[@mrbiggs110]

Poor guy . Good job completing it 💪🏾

[@christianoj.3732]

I like your honesty lol.. u got my sub brother.

[@helmanureygonzales917]

Hello my friend great project an nice design, receive a cordials greetings from Bolivia ,🇧🇴

[@denizencarpentry4115]

Awesome man. My wife is from Mexico. Not the same but closer.

[@chmparcher]

I really enjoy these videos, they motivate me to learn more. I'm just starting woodworking, so it's great to watch your videos

[@denizencarpentry4115]

Awesome man. I enjoy making them and it’s awesome that others like them. I have been doing it for a little over 5 years. How about you?

[@mariomiadze6121]

5o

[@denizencarpentry4115]

That’s awesome

[@chmparcher]

@@denizencarpentry4115 I made my first small project about a year ago, but I really got into it during lockdown, so I've been doing it regularly for about 5 months.

[@Star-uk1kh]

Incredible . You are very funny too 🙂

[@scott3991]

Lol when we park the cars in here sounded like a euphemism to me

[@Kethubim2323]

As an up-n-coming wood worker, I found this greatly enjoyable. You've earned my Sub, which I do not give out often. Keep it up, my man.

[@denizencarpentry4115]

Thank you! I greatly appreciate it.

[@emme6055]

How do you only have 434 subs. Great video, gonna check out some more my dude

[@denizencarpentry4115]

Thanks my friend. I’m going to be making another one today on how I make cutting boards. Should be up over the weekend. Thanks for the sub.

[@froschd6013]

Could have used shocks like in car trunks etc. Would help with the weight but would also take space.

[@garib3609]

Good job 👍

[@denizencarpentry4115]

Thank you!!

[@isharasamarakoon8076]

I think you can put magnets on the squares so they get all the way close

[@seacrestsmith657]

Love your humor. I watched two other videos of this particular type of door and they used a steel frame and metal bearings. It's been interesting what they did. One person is good at metal work, so so at woodworking, door turned out well. Another one was even better at metal work, even made his own bearings and shafts and made a metal skin for the door. Turned out great. What wasn't shown was whether they were balanced where an average person could open them. One of them did say their door probably weighed 80 pounds. The original design was extremely well balanced where it took little effort to open and close. Don't know if part of it is adding hidden counterweights or if there is a mechanism on the back of it one can't see. There is a picture of a different design glass one that does have additional mechanical linkage on the back of the door. My criticism of you is that you are good at woodworking, short on the engineering side. Proper bearings and shafts were needed but obviously cost extra. I've been looking for a door design like this for a garden gate and I personally would use an aluminum frame, metal bearings and attach a wood skin to it but that more aligns with my background in building machines.

[@denizencarpentry4115]

You are so right and spot on. The real areas of strength need to be at the pivot points. It’s seems obvious but it needs to be extremely strong. Not having a solid mount in the outer corners and a strong pivot joint caused mine to fail. Plus even with wood it was very heavy and needed extra muscle to work it. I also made 2 doors next to each other which also complicated things for me. I have seen the videos you mention and they were both single doors. I even saw a cabinet door. I hope you for turns out awesome. Thanks for watching my content.

[@FakurMumInHerAss]

Your video was awesome bro

[@KevBotWorkshop]

Love the comedy, love the explanation. Solid as a prototype, but I get it and support your decision to change it. Im actually making my own smaller verison today and stumbled upon your video. You deserve more subs my man, earned mine.

[@denizencarpentry4115]

Best of luck man. Are you going to post to KZbin or social? I’d love to see what you some up with. And thank you for the sub. I really appreciate it.

[@KevBotWorkshop]

@@denizencarpentry4115 Yep Ill have a video on it and post it to Insta. Ill be doing mine a little different. I think should work out cause it is a significantly smaller scale so I have high hopes.

[@denizencarpentry4115]

I stole this idea off a Facebook video I saw of a smaller door for a cabinet. Also Johnny builds made one but his was out of metal and only a si hole door. You can tell in the video it is extremely heavy. Is your Instagram the same as your KZbin?

[@KevBotWorkshop]

@@denizencarpentry4115 O for sure Ive seen the Johnny builds video as well. Yep my insta is the same

[@denizencarpentry4115]

I’ll check it out for sure.

[@ccg6031]

I love the look of the kinetic door. If you went smaller, like a jewelry box kenetic door, would that work better?. Your kenetic laundry room door is beautiful, more so after you put hinges on it and connected the pieces.

[@DeepPastry]

Maybe use a 1" x 2" inch framing with 1/8" plywood panels, that'd take care of the silly amount of weight. With better hardware, hinges etc., you made a pretty okay exterior set of doors.

[@rubinmortensen]

Take a shot everytime he says "so I went ahead and"

[@denizencarpentry4115]

And then take one more shot just for good luck.

[@rubinmortensen]

@@denizencarpentry4115 haha that's the spirit man! seriously though, good work and cool project

[@bradymiguel]

Were you using a finish nailer or brad nailer to hang those reclaimed boards? What gauge nails? Cool video. Subbed.

[@denizencarpentry4115]

Tha is man. I was using a brad nailer and I used 3 inch long brads. I shot them at angles to hold them in better and they have held up well since then. I also don’t have anything using them for structure either. I wouldn’t hang anything from them

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

Wid yeah with the sawdust/shavings in yer undies Dude, earned you a Sub! TFS, GB :) Oh you want to try cycling with them in your cycling shorts :( then again maybe not...

[@pikachuthegayatheist6215]

I've seen someone make these origami doors out of better more durable materials. The thing is origami doors are very expensive for home Improvement even if you got HGTV to come and remodel your home, and origami doors were used in the remodeling.

[@jeffreycollins7297]

What you did to rectify the wonkiness of the door is probably what most have done since they made their own too. It's just not a practical door.

[@denizencarpentry4115]

Thanks Jeffrey. I posted this on a page on Facebook and I had a hater almost immediately. This door really kicked my butt and had a lot of problems. I think a smaller door and a better center hinge would do wonders for the design. The next one I make will be better for sure.

[@fayazahmedt1530]

Gape is coming in centre point

[@ainhed370]

Doesn't close properly.

[@Lans888]

lacks precision though

[@jeffreycunningtown5730]

Woodglut plans are amazing!

[@countesslady9]

Talk too much

[@danielrivas2813]

Horrible

[@sslime4649]

You talk too much in the earlier minutes

[@rudianaaja6213]

You too much talking, please silent just explain by working 🙏
