There should be a video like this every Sunday. Its almost a part of weekly life now watching DIY on a Sunday morning
I couldn't agree more. 👍
D&j projects post their videos on Sunday's at 12 and Wednesday's
I used to watch this old house on Sunday, this will be a nice substitute/ addition
Lol, it's Sunday today!!
This is peak Proper DIY, great quality content, a little humour, top tips, relevant safety advice all resulting in a great end result that enables others to feel confident attempting the same project !
Cheers, Stuart !
What did you end up doing with the electrical in the end?
I like the Sunday morning start times
This bloke is great. Really good stuff. Doing a great service for UK DIYers
I use the magnet trick as well but instead of just rubbing the magnet on the wall surface I put a piece of greaseproof paper between it and the wall to avoid marking the wall. I HATE PAINTING.
Love your videos - practical and great presentation.
The socket magically disappeared 😉
Yeah and the lead as well
Either Stuart moved it over or he just removed it and put the cable in a box
The quality of this content is just outstanding! May we be blessed with many years of it!
Well done Mr.
Morning Stuart
At 16:24, I observed that you had used some temporary blocks to prevent the door from falling while levelling it in the frame. It would be helpful to mention this step to your viewers so that they don't overlook it and end up with the door falling out of the frame, damaging either the door or nearby furniture.
Excellent work sir. We’ve come a long way with the art of fitting doors , thanks to the development of power tools . Harkening back to when I started work back in the late 60s , it was a regular sight to see a joiner fit a door with the add of a hand axe. Only doing the final fitting with a hand plane . I’d don’t know it makes me sounds like I was born in the Victorian era . 😂. Kind regards as always 👍
Enjoyed the way Stuart can do these projects so elegantly. I would have smashed out the entire wall of sheetrock. I do have some vintage solid oak doors I am going to be hanging. I'll need to create new door frames because the old frames are flimsy mahogany veneer. The doors weigh a good 40 lbs. In the US they do not sell separate door frames or linings. So I will have to make my own. I have done this once before and did an ok job. My prior experience was hanging doors on my chicken coop. ugh those doors were hung very amateur. I learned a lot doing that. The chickens didn't comment.
Pro trick: Turn of the power at the breaker when ever working on a wall with power sockets in it. Remove the double socket cover and you can see if the feed cables go up, down and regrettably sometimes left or right.
That doesn't say anything really. In fact, whenever I put a socket or a switch in a hollow wall, I bring the cables in the box from the opposite side of where they are coming from so there's a little loop of extra cable in the wall without it running all too sloppy. Why? If for whatever reason the cable in the box needs to be cut back because of damage, and that leaves me with less slack that I'm comfortable with in the box, I can take out the box and flip it around to pull that extra bit of wiring through without having to find some extra length to push/pull through further along the way, moving the box up/down, making a connection, or replacing the entire length of cabling.
Stuart, your video's are top notch and perfectly edited with clear and thorough explanation of what you're doing, they're excellent for learning from with truly trustworthy content. Well done sire.
What happened to the socket. Would be nice to know 😮
Have a guess ?
Thanks stuart but a bit dissapointed. Normally your videos are so very detailed and step by step, i feel this video was a bit rushed and you missed a good bit ie. the electrical sockets relocation, the door jams install and the architrave installation. We all love your videos and happy to wait so no need to rush, big fan :)
So what happened to the electric cables?
8:25 😂😂😂. Great video as always, Stuart.
As an ex joiner, when I was an apprentice I use to pencil a hatch sign on the side of the door where I wanted the ball of the hinge. That way I made sure I didn’t cut out for the hinges on the wrong side.
As easy as you made this look, this would put me out of my comfort zone.
Hi Stuart another great video, I was told by a joiner, put three parts of the barrel of the hinge on the frame and the two on the door to help stop squeaking later on, keep up the good work, G.
Another top notch video Stuart.
Routing those hinges rebates without a jig. Skilz Stuart! Great video. ❤
Only extra tip would be to place the fixing screws so they are covered by the door stops.
Really informative and entertaining. The perfect mix
Great video Stuart,plenty of information and tips and some humour. Thanks for the video.👍👍
Thank you Stuart , the timing of this video could not be better! I needed just this
I believe the bosch wall scanner takes you to touch the wall with your other hand as it uses your hand touching the tool as well in its capacitance sensor. And, your tool* could also be knackered as well.
Excellent as always Stuart, thank you 👍
Brilliant video stu. Really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
You can get internal door casings with the rebate cut into them but not as easy to fit as a door lining . Love your videos
06:28 What happened with the double socket and wiring?
As soon as I hit 40 I wake up at 7am religiously whilst rest of house is fast asleep even at weekends 😂 so this is “me time” ❤❤❤
So how does that work, do you sleep an hour earlier or is everyone else on their phones? Sleep is important, too
@@pigeonlove they are all fast asleep, I’m wide awake no matter what time I go to bed night before. So DIY UA-cam = Sunday morning
I know this video was about making the door opening but it would have been nice to detail what you did with the wiring for the socket that was in the way thank you
You couldn't have timed this video any better, thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video Stuart....
You really are the top man 👌
Perfect timing! I've bought some new doors and need to alter the door casing to fit the smaller doors.
Excellent video and tutorial!
Cheers! 👍
Just what I'm looking for. Great details
Awesome Stuart. Your vids are top shelf. Thanks as akways
Great video. I've had to move a door and followed a very similar approach, retaining the door rather than salvaging the lining and trying to patch and fill. Cheers. K.
7:14 - a little nod to Charlie Diyte? 😁
Exactly my thought as well!
This is really interesting, loads of info ,I feel like I could tackle this project after watching this , a part 2 would be nice, see the finished product.
Nice job as always, thanks for the new content! 👍😃
That was a great idea cutting small pieces of drywall to eliminate mess. Job well done thanks for sharing it was great content
Excellent video as always! 👍
Your detector get crazy for one reason - it picked up static discharge from sliding it near surface.. Some wall materials do that.. To avoid this, hold detector with one hand, but other hands palm You need to put on wall under test, usually, it will be 5-50cm from detector in that test zone.. Try not to lift hand from wall..
Jolly good. 🇨🇦🤭👍. I very much enjoyed your videos.
Great video, came just in time I have 3 doors to fit. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻
Great video as always and explained easy for the novice and pro 👍
Great job and really well explained
Loved this
Great video Stuart !!!!! thank you
This video came at just the right time - moving my bedroom door is my next project, I now have a good idea of what I need to do and in what order things need doing 👍🏻👍🏻
Only thing I'd do differently would have been to take the faceplate off of the patress box to see where the cables ran.
Great job as always, I have a recommendation for you. When using a router for door hinges, the job can be made easier with a trend corner chisel. I bought one a while back, so good😊
Indeed, I enjoyed the video
very much!
Brilliant.
Proper DIY 👍😎
Fantastic. as always. thanks
Brilliant video, I've learned alot from your videos, very clear and easy to understand. Many thanks 💯👍👍
Been watching your videos for some time now, just subscribed and as others have mentioned great timing, this week I will mainly be building a doorway into an existing wall 😊😊😊
Nice job mate, cheers!
Nice work amigo you present the tasks well cheers
7:17 Hellow! 😊
Perfect timing - I want to make two back-to-back bathrooms into one bathroom. Now I know how to cut the wall between the two, and refinish it so no one will ever know! To get started, I need to remove some cabinets (I think they are going to another room - there won’t be room for them in the bathroom after we do what we’re trying to accomplish), permanently remove two sinks, permanently remove one toilet, permanently remove a tub/shower unit, add in a roll-in shower, add a pedestal sink and poof! A much safer setup for my wife!
A masterclass in fitting a door, with the added bonus of cutting a hole in a wall! Thanks Stuart, that was amazing 👏 😊
Thanks for the great advise😀.
Stuart, to make life easier why not custom make your own door lining to the size of the door plus a few extra mm so you don't need to trim the door. I believe, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that in a lot of new builds the doors/linings come ready assembled to fit into the opening so no trimming. Great video as always. Keep 'em coming!
You're not wrong about new builds, if the architect has specified 'cassette' doors, the doors will come complete, closed and slot in the opening. Initially fitting with tabs into the wall face and hidden by the architrave. Each hinge has an adjustment screw that allows you to get the hinges to swing properly and maintain a consistent gap. I've 10 in my 5-year-old house, and they're a bugger to match when you have to put a new door in. The only benefit is that factory hinges have curved corners so you can do the whole hinge with the router and a template.
@@StrawbyteWorkshop There's a Robin Clevett video where he fits the doors without trimming into the pre made mdf linings. I think it was on a refurb property (not his Big Build) where he slotted them into existing openings and shimmed/packed accordingly.
Muchas muchas gracias por compartir la experiencia, excelente video de como colocar una nueva puerta, (y como hacer el hueco para ella), limpio, a velocidad máster, sin prisas, y disfrutando el trabajo, soy también un joven adulto que ama la carpintería...felicidades!!!, recibe saludos desde Aguascalientes México...😉👍
Love these videos. Would be interested to see how you would close off a door to convert into wall.
Great post... Thanks! 😎👍
what a brilliant video.
Very good well explained video. Btw, once the lining is fully installed including the architrave etc it is no longer a door lining, it is then a door frame. A bit like an ugly duckling becomes a swan.
Excellent. Very helpfu.
Nice one Stuart, very informative. Next week the handles and latch?
Any chance of showing how you could fit a new door into a plaster block wall?
Awesome vid 👍🏻
This is superb.
Excellent!
Magical door stops appeared not mentioned?
Cracking job.
Great video
All praise the multi tool. Makes jobs that much easier. I have a big bucket of those shims. boy do they get used a lot.
I use the trend hinge jig, so much quicker. Put the markers where you want the hinges, router them out then transfer the jig to the frame and the markers are in the same place for you to hang the door. It’s just so much easier.
Your series has honestly replaced Saturday morning tv for me.
Makes me want to give it a go myself! Only our walls are made of brick and won't go so easy as yours :D well done, enjoyed watching that
Cool explanations.
Damm. I really appreciate the well made and informative video. Thank youa
Very
I Learned alot from this video.
Great job
10:06 probably worth a mention that those black bugle head screws are necessary if you don't want rust marks on the finish plaster. They are expensive for a massive box but necessary.
A length of bathplug chain with a magnet on works great. Swing the magnet back wards and forwards along the wall face. When the magnet sticks to the screw let the chain fall from your hand and this will indicate a plumb line which should be the center of your stud.
Another brilliant job but I would love to see you do the same on a brick wall.
Thanks Stuart - great idea for a vid and well explained as usual. Door looks fantastic and I liked the ‘hello!’ moment. 🙂Any chance you could show us how to seal it all back up again as we need to see how to do that for a project we have in mind (only joking - but not joking). 👍
Very neat. 👏🏼
Thank you.
I have that scanner, I find if I hold the scanner in one hand, and put my other hand on the wall (anywhere), then I get much more reliable readings. It's almost as if grounding the wall through me, allows the scanner to operate better.
thanks!
The man is a professional 😂
Never seen the magnet trick… that’s just awesome.
BEST Handyman
I have got to change a load of doors for oak ones. A few of the frames need changing as well. I got a cheapo damaged door from Wickes, it was £20 because of the damage. It is a crappy door but it is perfectly sized and square so I am using it as a template for frames and hinges etc.
Hi Stuart, informative Video and enjoyable, it would be nice to see a follow up video completing the job etc.
5:13 If the detector goes crazy the wall is probably staticaly charged. Easy fix: put your free hand on the wall! If the alarm sound goes stumm then it's a false positive. And it's recomended to make three passes on area in question...
Good video thanks!
Downside is I dont jave the same tools, so going a low vudget route myself.
