@@carlroge great to hear, can't wait for future videos, my son and I do small projects together and take great pointers from certain ways you do things Much appreciated.
The first half of the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.
Probably the best Ryan's Shed Plans on building a shed is hardly found ever . ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxcLVQopTIucrxiVRQA0khLGQEnDVKCSMG And Ryan's takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
First video of yours that I have come across. I’m a woodworker of 45 plus years experience - as a serious hobby and sometime business. Lovely work. There are many ways to do something right and a few ways to do it wrong. These are therefore observations and not criticisms in any way - I use a lot of European oak sleepers to produce both country and fine furniture. It’s a lot of work in preparation but I have found that I get as good a quality timber as I do when I buy “premium”. Now retired, that extra prep time is not an issue. - the hardness of the sleepers varies but is generally harder than timber yard stuff. More prep time but more durable product? - I have to get help - human and/or rollers - to handle the long lengths. Bloody heavy. - I either cut my sleepers on the band saw or table saw. Sometimes it is so hard that I have to cut the width down and then glue back in order to avoid stress on the machines. When reglued, you really can’t see the join - personally, I don’t like those resin table where it’s 50/50 resin and timber. I made a few for customers but that’s business. However, using smaller amounts of resin do mean that there is less waste. For instance, I would not have cut off the knots but dug them out and put in resin. Observation, not criticism - timber movement due to changes in weather does not seem to happen in the UK anywhere near as much as in the USA. However, I would be fearful in completely glueing on a breadboard edge on a door for a bathroom, fearing that the greater amount of moisture one side would cause warping (hence breadboard ends) but also splitting (no room for the verticals to move). Just me being over cautious and if your way works, please tell me and I can be more flexible in making my doors! As I say, my first video of yours but, notwithstanding that we are nearing the end of a large barn conversion (modern barn but balanced by a lot of my product in oak, chestnut, plane, cherry and some Australian timbers bought back with me). So, I will be subscribing and watching your library. Great stuff.
That door is so beautiful. There is something about using old wood in an old building that gives the place character that you just cannot get from new wood. A lovely piece of carpentry that you should be proud to have made from scratch.
A tip for you, always move a hand held router from left to right and keep it tight against your straight edge. It will give you a lot more control and it is more safe as well.
You are the most careful measurer I have ever seen. It is so cool to see such meticulousness turn lumps of oak into such a bright, smooth, strong door that looks like it could last 100 years! Awesome stuff!
Hello Carl, I have a place very similar to yours, near Confolens Haute Vienne. I must say your videos are an enormous help in understanding the work and principles going into the projects. To a lay person like me, employing artisans, it is brilliant the way you explain the work (and edit the videos). I have an identical small barn earth floor, and about to be excavated and floor laid. I now feel I can talk to the wonderful builders without sounding like an idiot. Many thanks for your YT videos, well done.
Recently came across your videos and subscribed after watching a few of them. Decided to go to the first one and watch them in order of time. Why have you not invested in a quality used bandsaw is beyond me. Every time I see you doing those multiple rips on your saw to split a 8x12 into smaller planks I cringed in fear that you will lose more than a finger. Think of the time you could save as well as fingers! And you should also consider tucking your shirt into your pants when you are using the jointer! I have been working in the custom architectural woodworking business since 1973, and I have tremendous respect for the skills that you have shown to have at such a young age. Your father must have been doing this kind of work at the same skill level for quite a long time and he has taught you very well. I look forward to seeing the rest of the videos. God bless you and your family.
Great craftsmanship and seeing something from what others would burn. I have built a few table tops like this and the first one I glued the tongue on like you did and it cracked. Learned later from a master that the tongue just keeps it straight and dowels driven through each plank are what holds it in place
Very impressive work on that oak door. It looks really wonderfull. I also use glue and sawdust at my projects to fill gaps in our 190 year old cottage , as I try to use as much as I can from the old logs stored in my barn. I was lucky to find them 2 years ago from an ruined 300 year old house 30 kilometers away.
For an oak door, it is good to install hinges and a lock forged by a blacksmith. The same design was on the doors in the house of my business in the Urals. But those doors are over a hundred years old. Great job, man.
When you glue breadboards, only use glue in the middle portion to allow for expansion/contraction of the longgrain boards. Otherwise you might get cracks at the seams. You can use pins too if you widen the holes on the tenons. Looks beautiful, lots of character in that oak!
I'll have to look up the technical terms. Reminds me of my old man and my brother in law building a wall. "Do you have enough wet? We need to butter both sides of the fletons". And so on for days.
Carl, nice oak door, I made a similar one for our local church, I used all the old metal furniture and treated it with weatherproofing and lots of oil as it was for the top of the tower, so one side always to the elements, had to haul it up the outside of the tower as it would not fit around the internal spiral staircase!
Not bad, first you should of joined the boards with a full length spline to stop any warping, and when attaching the top and bottom rails the tenon should be shorter than the mortise to allow for expansion and glue should only be in about 3 spots along tenon then drill and dowel it to the boards, ......solid wooden door in contact with damp, bathroom.! 35 years in the trade teaches a lot of tricks and solutions. Keep up the good work. You never to old to learn..
Also a huge fan particularly the level of care you take thinking through you design as well as the execution. I'm also a huge fan of the music as it drives the narrative so continue to use where appropriate. Thank you.
I think that at least some of those must be for gluing on the breadboard caps full length. Didn’t expect to see something like that, nor such an unnecessary plethora of Lamello biscuits.
Found you today by accident via the Landy. Fed up with our Nav and all the sensors etc. Going back to a 90 , too old for a Series 3 , 24v lwt 30 years ago but no more. Building a base in the barn for a chainsaw mill to cut our own lumber. Nowhere near your level but 240 year old house with B & Q doors, deserves better. Subbed and will look at Patreon but shielding since March and never know what's next. Good luck with everything, pleasure to watch . Wales.
Wow, you’re a true craftsman Carl. If only the carpenters of the day could see you at work, they’d appreciate your skills but obviously be stunned by the technology available to you in the 21st century, you’d probably be burned at a convenient stake! How long would it have taken you to have made the same door,using the same materials but using only hand tools? Presumably biscuit joints and routing joints would have been out of the question?
Such expertise and patient application in a person as young as you, Carl, is extraordinary! Your professional ethic gives me hope for the future. Please keep posting these videos for others to see what it takes, and what one gets back, even from a humble sh*t house door! (I would have liked to have seen a small flat iron kickplate at the foot with a coat hook on the back. You should emboss all your work with a small "CR" logo, comme il faut, it's that good!)
Surprised I haven't come across your channel sooner! Loved the craftsmanship and the camera work in this. It gives me hope, as carpenter in London that there is still quality craftsmanship around! Definitely worth following!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing. I lived in a Georgian house that had the floorboards cut into any old shape and fitted like a jigsaw. No piece was more than 8' long, most shorter. Added character, although it was a bit of a job to replace the bits butchered out by generations of gas(light) and electrical fitters. We converted the butler's quarters/dairy/silversafe into a large breakfast room. As it was so damp, we suspended the floor. We got the cheapest oak boards we could find and roughly laid them out to acclimatise for a few months - you know these old neglected houses, always something else to do. We used farriers nails to fix them down after a lead on handmade nails dried up. We did have to drill each hole... twice. We had quite a few knots to deal with. I used some epoxy left over from a car body kit. That worked really well. A bit of tape on the underside, and slowly pour it in. Relatively thin, so it flowed nicely. Best of all, controllably so you could stop just as the hole filled. Quick blitz with a sander and job done. It looked just like a live knot, and the oiled finish worked well around it.
Like most, I really enjoy your videos. The two doors you have made are amazing. I also really liked the finish that you have put on the walls inside and outside of the bathroom. Can you give me a quick insight into what you used to create the finish and how you decided on the design of the cross struts? Really like tha natural rustic look/feel.
Thanks for posting this video! It seems a shame, especially with the rustic hardware to fill the knots and sand wood surfaces to such a shiny new surface. It might have looked very cool with a more rustic treatment, but I like funky old log cabins too though. Keep up the good work - and stay safe.
Hi Chap you are doing some lovely work with fairly basic tools. Re your gap filling. try to mix sawdust (from the same timber) with the finish you intend to apply to the completed item. glues and wood fillers do not take finish very well. where as filler made from a finish product blends in and disappears. this won't work on nots and structural joins, but for minor gaps its magic. Hope this helps. take care D
Loved within tolerance 😂 as a beginner woodworker this is something I’m having to come to grip with, nothing is perfect and not starting or finishing because it’s not is my problem not the projects.

I think using the old oak was a great idea. And the knots give it character. Wonderful job
That loose shirt around the saw gives me the shivers! Lovely work and choice workshop!
you and your dad do quality work. it is a pleasure to watch you do it. love it when people take pride in their work.
Nice work ..having a $2,000 …75 pound bathroom door certainly defines the arts and crafts movement… very nice work
What a beautiful door! Reusing old wood gives the door more character using your masterful skills. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Very nice door. I like "breadboard" edges, that Aldi router can't be bad clean cutting hardwood 👍 great videos thanks
Roman Toilets were next to the kitchen...without doors... I learn so much from this channel.

Fabulous craftsman ship on the door congratulations the locking mechanism and hinges are a fabulous choice 👍👍🏴
Amazing work. Chilled music. Great video 👍
I'm 2 minds. Love the raw ambient sounds. Love the music. Def room for both. You have a talent for curating either.

The door is beautiful! I would never replace it should the thought cross your mind. I love the knots in the wood.
Excellent work. Love working with oak
Beautiful transition from the old roof beam.

Hello. Very Nice Project. I like this style. Oak wood and cast Iron parts.
Good Job
The back of bog door is gazed upon intently. The work has to be good. That work is good. It will be admired.
Like the vibe and your shop is fresh and spacious. Great project
I could not have scribed the door after all of those efforts to make it perfectly square...the jamb would have been under the knife. Beautiful job.
Fantastic work, it just goes to show what can be created with the knowhow and tools, top job.
Glad you like it!
Amazing door!
Hola !! Me encanta su trabajo , creatividad , excelentes ideas , gracias 👏👏👏👏🏡🚪❤ gracias por compartir.
