Your home office will NEVER be the same.

Picture this: a door that's not just any door, but a door with a personality! Electrified privacy glass?! Yep. Oh, but wait! There's more! Brace yourselves for the pièce de résistance - a walnut cat door! Yep, you heard me right. A door within a door, tailor-made for Lola and Jerry's incessant need to be involved in everything I do throughout the day.
But, the real question: Is this privacy film the real deal, or are we about to burst the bubble of expectation? Watch and find out. And I'd love to know what you think!

I came to this channel for the awesome woodworking….but was rewarded with the wonderful cat cameos!! I had two furballs that followed us everywhere and did everything with us too…woodworking, gardening, riding in homemade cardboard contraptions with the kids, helping them with the obstacle course….such great memories. These two probably have better woodworking skills than many of us (LOL). That was an amazing design, the only thing missing is the feline retinal scanner to open allow them entrance!! Looking forward to the rest of the build.

Since you don't do too much paint-grade stuff, you should look at Bourbon Moth's tip on pin nailing (or at least that's where I learned it from)! Take some blue tape and pin through it, apply wood putty/filler, and then remove the blue tape afterwards. It removes the step of having to clean up the excess putty/filler and risk taking off those nice edges! Love the door!

For the glue up sliding problem: use a small amount of washed, coarse sand. It will prevent the wood from sliding and will not mess up the chemical prozess of the glue itself.

When there's no contact, it automatically becomes glazed? I wonder if it exists the other way around? So if I put it on windows and there's an issue, I'm not stuck with a glazed window

Correct. It needs power to be able to go clear. So, when the door is open and the contact switch isn't engaged, it's frosted. That's a good question about windows...my guess is if the power goes out, you would have a house full of frosted windows. Unless you install some kind of battery backup.
