I thought building doors would be boring but this project challenged me and taught me a lot and best of all, brought a new appreciation and meaning to the word door.

Samurai magician. You're creating great memories for your sons. I look back to the many hours helping my dad at his business, holding a trouble light while he got something fixed. Sometimes I wished I was home and didn't have to do all that -- but today I relish the memories. My father passed away over 2 years ago - I miss him daily. The memories of him teaching me plumbing, woodworking, electrical, and the ethics behind good honest hard work have stayed with me my entire life.
I lost my father last summer. I echo every word!
My young life helping my brothers and father making furniture is priceless .keep them in your heart
Very beautiful John, thanks for sharing
John Marquardt Like many of you, I have tears in my eyes when he teaches me his tool of trades.
I've been building for 30 years. My wife and I have 5 amazing kids, all out on their own. They all worked with us from a very young age until they went off the college or joined the military. We miss them dearly everyday day. Seeing you with your little own is something special. Enjoy each moment with them . Awesome door, awesome father for taking the time to slow down with your kiddos.
In the world of UA-cam I know it's customary to say how I "woulda done this differently" or how I coulda "done that better", but as a woodworker myself I just wanted to take the time to tell you that even other craftsman admire your work. Great job on the doors and thanks for all the entertaining videos.
hcwd workshop When you say 'customary for [other craftsmen to say how they] coulda/woulda done better, you mean 'common for trolls to shit on other yt'ers' work, right?
Right? and look how easy it is to just say, wow, man, i really enjoyed that. Thanks hcwd, keeps my faith in humanity.
He should not have used maple for an exterior door which will be directly exposed to the elements. Also, he should have sealed the top and bottom edges of the door with some kind of oil-based finish, exterior glue, or other waterproof sealer, before hanging the doors. This is good advice, not trolling.
Amen to that the fit on those hinges was tight!!
Your plane and chisel blades always look as if they are super sharp but you never give any indication of when you stop to sharpen them. I get a mental image of you spending the last 11 hours of each day sharpenning your blades.
Keep the great videos coming, they truly are inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to make them and having the generosity to share them.
Not only does he do it in the snow, but he goes to the effort of documenting it, too. Thanks for the upload(s) matey. Really appreciate the channel.
All respect to the hard working men of the world. Job well done
That's so sweet. Teach a child in the way he should go... you're doing a great job
You are a good father.
You can tell you take pride in your work, but your children are you top importance.
When I have kids I want it to be this obvious that I love em.
I cannot express to you the joy it brings me to come in from working all day in my own shop and be able to sit back and relax to one of your videos. Your Japanese hand planes have improved my leisure time by leaps and bounds.
Your work young man exudes confidence and quality. I’ve been a carpenter for nearly 35 yrs and there’s only a very few I’ve had the pleasure of crossing swords with. Thank you for your channel.
"Daddy, build a deck" "I will, just gimme a minute" HAHAHAHHAHA
Manish Kumar hahahahahahahaah
Manish Kumar That moment is pure gold ^^
Manish Kumar Hahaha best part
That was a great comment! It had me laughing!
Kid is a slave driver haha! Get on with it Samurai
Samurai! at 6:26 you drew circles to pre-drill for the hinge screws. Do yourself the biggest favor and try a Vix bit. It's a bit with a collar on it that fits into the holes in the hinge and perfectly centers the hole. Anyway, door came out great!
Sitting here trying to recover from a cold. Watched your video and all that work made me so tired I think going to bed. Great Job keep up the good work.
Great to see another generation learning. Maybe not in their eyes yet but little do they know they're picking up one of the best trades in the world. I know I love spending time together with my son building houses. At age 7 maybe not always the best help but a good thing for him to know.
Ive got a french door build coming up that is making me nervous so this video helped. I know what I'm doing but sometimes you need a little confirmation. Good work friend!
I could watch master carpenters work all day long. Nice job
Nothing motivates you like the samurai! Always love the videos!
I just love watching your work...and learning. But also love watching you be a dad. Keep up the great work.
You are a Ninja Samurai Carpenter. Gotta say, probably the most talented on youtube.
your children will be great carpenters !!! they learn from a very young age !! congratulations for your way of educating !!
Congrats, that was awesome!!! Nothing better than things made by ourselves!!!
Like the bow-tie. Nice touch and you were able to salvage that piece of wood.
I love the way you let the kids participate!
Absolutely beautiful! I found this video while trying to find a french door with 18" sidelites to replace a 108 x 80 sliding glass door.. It's amazing how hard it is to find a door! Anyway, mad skills there!
Nice to see you're teaching your sons even at this young age. I have a father that believes he is the only one that can do it right and I didn't even touch a paintbrush until I was married. Many things I know now are self taught it would have saved me considerable time if I had started the learning curve much younger. Kudos to you!
one of the coolest dads of all time, God bless.
absolutely talented. building French doors from scratch is gangsta indeed!!!
Nice Job and glad to see the boys involved.
Looks great. I think it will be so nice with the deck and stairs. Wish you and your family a great week
very nice workmanship, u can see your little helper's are learning from some one who takes pride in his work..
I just wish when I was a kid there was you tube and people like you to watch. you're like a damn carpenter apprenticeship class on video. a shout out all the way from Chicago. dude, you absolutely rock man. keep it up
I think this is my favorite video so far man. You are a true craftsmen. Keep it up.
yeah, just mistype hootwood. Lol!
The way everything fits together, so perfect!
No bullshit, just pure skill. Kept thinking why the edge of the frame had a line in it, then I saw you put the frame seal in.
It's so satisfying to watch you work...
My current challenge is installing my exterior french doors, so I really only came on here to see how you installed your french doors and I am amazed at your quality of work, your candor and your work ethics. You have won me as a new subscriber now and I look forward to more of your videos! Cheers :-) Mrs. TJ
These are the kind of vid i love from this guy...
Love the plane you use at 4:37
Would love to see a tutorial type video on doors, particularly the creation of bifold accordion type. There is a complete lack of anything useful out there and your videos are always so well done! A great addition to the internet of learning, even without the tutorial. Cheers mate
There's already hundred of people telling nice job but i want also to say it . Excellent job.
I was touched by seeing your son helping out. That's the marrow of life right there!!
Also, cool mortiser! Used similar machines (incl. a four-head, double-sided multi-mortiser). If possible I'd suggest bolting it to the floor or a much heavier base as a solid foundation increases realiability and consistancy immensely.
Superb work and excellent dad skills. Thanks for sharing.
Você é o melhor carpinteiro que já assistir vídeos no UA-cam .. parabéns ..
Wow, really amazing. I''ve been watching you for like 2 weeks now and I rarely subscribe, like and comment on one channel but your channel is the first one. You are such an inspiration. Everything you do leaves me with a great "Wow!". I hope one day that my carpenting skills will be as good as yours!
Loved the family part. Thanks for reminding me of the important things in life. Your a great craftsman!
Great builder, great father, i wish you the best
That's a very nice build. This is what it means to produce value.
excellent carpentry skills dude, much respect from across the pond in Britain
Scandinavia, Canada, America literally still teach complete carpentry skills which is amazing tbh.
here in England they have Segregated carpentry i to certain skill sets so when a English person says there a carpenter basically they actually mean i hang doors.
there aren't even many people in this country who can cut a traditional roof seriously
Without the mortise machine, no way it could be done with such accuracy! Outstanding job! I am looking at building something similar, but about 20 ft wide! Cannot afford to buy, will manufacture just like you!
Beautiful work. Make sure to apply a few coats of sealer, paint or whatever you're using to bottom edge of door!! Looks fantastic, Vinny
Dude, you are awesome! As a father, I can tell you, you are doing it allllllll right.
awesome video. helped me unwind after a long day
Your videos are very inspiring to me and, your craftsmanship is second to none, I wanna be like you when I grow up ( I'm almost 40) 😂!! Thank you for making for all of us!!! 👌🏻
Absolutely beautiful work! God bless your family Samurai! You're a good dad!
Your work is pure artistry!
Sam is good teacher n fun to learn at same time 😲
Excellent stuff, just the information i was looking for, i'll be trying to do the same thing only 4 of them.
Samurai, indeed you are wise and awesome. There are many ways to skin cat and build a door. If I can be so bold though to make a few suggestions for the next time you make some doors, or windows. Mainly with the glazing aspect, in NZ doors I have made were always glazed and beaded from the outside. The bottom stile is beveled slightly as is the bottom bead to match, this prevents any water sitting on the edge( i know how much you hate water sitting on things). Also I sit the glass on little bits of rubber as well as running a couple of saw curves in the bottom bead to allow any water did get in a place to exit. Granted this does take a little extra time, I know you love these bits of extra detail though. Love your work!!
Not technically a "how to build", more "watch me build" lol but... I'm in love with this channel.
Beauty mate, can't wait to see you build the deck.
Give hime a minute... hahahaha!
Always cool to see the Samurai knock it out the park! Handsome boys! Wranglerstar gave you a shout out!
something very peaceful about watching especially when he just fixed the crack in the door, no drama he just repaired it and went on.
What a great dad! Nice job on the doors.
The true art of craftsmanship!
Love you work. Just a quick question @5:25 why isn't the bottom rail recessed into the vertical rails to close out the bottom holes. NOT a criticism, just a question
Samurai - You truly make beautiful pieces and your skills are amazing
AWESOME job they look incredible knowing you built them with the boys is even better
Cute kids and very nice French doors👍👍👍
Bonjor Door. Awesome video, Tons of work
Wow nice making and installation. thanks.
Outstanding. I watch your project videos many times over, and I am always inspired to build/make/create more every time I do so.
Really enjoyed this one. The doors look great.
Very nice video and work! I really enjoyed watching that.
Amazing work beautiful doors!
Pure talent. Thank you.
Whoooo! more Samurai!
This was an awesome video. Love seeing the care you put into your work. Its cool seeing the kiddos get involved too. Keep it up, man.
Awesome seeing the interaction with your kiddos. Now I want to make new doors!
Thank you for posting up Samurai. Been waiting for this since last week and you did not disappoint in the slightest. Fantastic work!
You make it look easy and beautiful. Great work.
This is easily one of my most favorite of your videos. Great build!
The wife and I were just talking about how absolutely ridiculous it is that you don't have a yt channel. Ridiculous Jonathan!!! Ridiculous!!!
What kind of channel should I do?
A video without bragging. Thats why its the best video so far. Best like/dislike ratio.
it is a fantastic job and doors! I wonder how to handle solid wood doors getting warps after using years?
Loved this build! It's cool to see the kids included in the build process. Great carpenter and an even better dad!
really beautiful work
beautiful work
I love this video but I have a question. At 0:39 he does a major glue up of four large boards. At first I thought it was because he was going to do a stave core door construction but all the doors look like solid boards. What were the boards in the glue up used for?
Good job bro. Of course everybody would have done SOMETHING different. I appreciate the motivation on a project i am about to tackle. Its fun to have the kids around!! Hopefully they learn something. We are a dying breed.
Just the channel I was looking for. Electrical tape bandaid and all. 👍
Looks good, great video. Well done.
It's cool just watching you work.
awesome workmanship. love getting the kids involved.
Beautiful door. Great job.
Well done and inspiring
Great video. Great job. Great music.
Great stuff. Looks like you are living the dream. I enjoy your video production. Right amount of time, visuals to get the idea of what your are doing, great music and adding the touch of father time incorporated into your work. Keep up the fine work Samurai Carpenter!!
Worth the wait. looks great!
Well done Jesse, well done indeed
Awesome video man 👍🏼👍🏼music added that final touch
Amazing work!! And I love your custom home too!!!
