Normal to Hidden Door: DIY
In this video I take a standard interior door and make it disappear into a slat accent wall. I've seen some other impressive videos of people hiding doors this way, including the one that inspired me to do this project by @DesignCraftWorkshop (linked below). In his video though he custom makes both the door AND door frame, all with some fancy green and black tools, so I set out to find a way to achieve a similar result with far less skill (and if you thought I was referencing Ryobi tools, that’s very cute, you’re the target audience for this video)

Check out the DIY mini golf hole I built for the 2024 Dude Dad Mini Golf Open (yes that's a real thing). The event was held at New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, CO, with proceeds from playing the holes going to RespiteCare. Based on the free computer game Space Cadet, the hole features interactive pinball mechanics that give the player a chance at a birdie or hole-in-one. It was a lot of wor...

Ultimate DIY Cat ‘Tree’

When was the last time you saw someone's cat tree and thought "wow, what a nice piece of furniture". In this video I try to change that by building a cat tree/tower (potato/potatoe) out of one large driftwood piece. I made some mistakes along the way and discovered what electric scissors were.

DIY Car Rust Repair (no experience)
Переглядів 1,7 тис.Рік тому
In this video I'll fix a rust spot on my old Audi S4 using a kit from 3M and paint from TouchUpDirect. There are definitely some things I could've done better, or will do different next time, but overall it turned out pretty good for having zero bodywork experience.

      @AverageDadChannel using marker to emulate the holes was a bad idea. Why not find a drill bit the correct size?

    Nice. I would have removed the return vent cover…painted the inside and run the slats right over it. Good work.

    • @AverageDadChannel
      @AverageDadChannel 2 дні тому

      Ya this would’ve been a good idea, thought about putting black mesh over it and having the slats go down through it like you said, but it’s covered up by furniture for our setup so decided against the extra effort

      Had most of it leftover from other projects but otherwise you may be right, but also our room was very asymmetrically cold near the fireplace so this helps a lot with that

    This is great!! I’m currently in the middle of the exact same project. I’ve been avoiding the hinge installation because I’m terrified I’m going to mess up the door. I 3D printed spacers to keep the boards level, but never thought to print up a router guide for the hinge alignment. Such a good idea!

    From a distance it looks perfect and impressive,well done! I’d probably have incorporated a skirting board with hidden up lighting and mirrored the same up to the ceiling. Those dark gaps are excellent for hiding led strips. Lighting will transform it into another dimension. Well, you did ask. 😂 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😇

    What is the purpose of the light switch innthe middle of the wall? Did you think about flipping it around so it is used from the opposite side and you dont interrupt the slat side?

    I am a finish trim carpenter, and have built faux beams of various complexity for my GC's clients and I can assure you that they pay (him, not me) a lot more than a few hundred dollars for a whole room! I watched this because I like seeing creative and frugal solutions. It's very impressive for a DIY homeowner! I'm about to build a few beams for my own house, and I'm not sure if I will do this myself, mostly to avoid the ridicule and shaming when my boss comes over to see the finished house that I've been working on for almost two years! Clever idea! 😎

  • @smanh4644
    @smanh4644 18 днів тому

    very nice idea and workmanship. However in most jurisdictions, exposed polystyrene foam can't be left uncovered due to its toxic smoke if there is a fire. If it is exposed in an occupied space, it must be covered by wood, gypsum, or cement. . My building inspector nailed me on that. I learned the hard way.

    • @AverageDadChannel

      Likely you could still use the slats to cover the break between door and wall, those slats would just be attached to the wall instead of the door

  • @Benjamin-o5r
    @Benjamin-o5r 21 день тому

    Great video. I would like to try something like this, but how would you go about calculating the distance for the door and end up with equal slats the whole way over the wall.

    • @AverageDadChannel
      @AverageDadChannel 21 день тому

      I started with a slat at the hinge area then calculated spacing to get it to overlap the wall in the “handle” side, then just continued on with that spacing on both sides of the door to the wall

    • @AverageDadChannel
      @AverageDadChannel Місяць тому

      the air rising and coming out of the top holes pushes the smoke on the edge of the fire back toward the middle, where it is hot enough for it to burn away
