Secrets of the Best Doors - Brent talks about the history of door types and then also door styles. The goals is to take the best of historic design and construction to build a very long lasting, well designed door. Brent talks about board and batten doors, transitional doors and stile and rail doors. He also shows Georigan, Federal, Victorian and French and English doors so that we can learn from the past. Building a long lasting door starts with the right wood but also requires some other tricks that make the difference.

When I searched youtube this evening for "building a door" I did not expect to find such a detailed, well made, highly educational video. Honestly I'm blown away.
In today's disposable society, we're very fortunate to have people who still desire quality craftsmanship and the skilled trades people who know how to build it. Very nice job and thanks for the content, you have a new subscriber.
Everyone desires quality and craftsmanship, only fortunate few can afford it. It's no different today than it was a hundred years ago. People of limited means have cardboard doors today, and had the one at 1:30 a hundred years ago.
Let me tell you I do construction I can build doors but is not worth it unless is my own house. Andersen and other companies sell you door already made ready to hang in very inexpensive, those type of doors this guy is making or talking are door for rich people.or people upper middle class that makes good money. Even Andersen are pretty expensive for most of the USA

My God an effing encyclopedic accounting of doors! Blown away!! Amazing content!!!
Just looking to see if I could make my own entry door and stumbled on a master class. Thank you!
incredible presentation ! I've been a carpenter since 1982 and thought I understood door constructions but you taught me some great stuff.

I wish more people making videos on wood working had the kind of thorough knowledge and understanding that you do. Thank you so much
Brent,
As a materials engineer, I just love your attention to them and the mechanics of construction!
Many, many thanks for the excellent tutorials!
Super nerdy details on doors, I love it!
What a great educational video! Thank you soo much for taking the time to put this together . I have a small shop and have been building solid hardwood projects for a number of years, including doors. For the most part, I'm self taught and I definitely learned a few things as well as raised a few questions!
This is absolute gold. Very rare to be shown the details by a true craftsman. Planning my 12x6 sliding garage doors build out of wood and I will be utilizing every element you taught on this video. Can't thank you enough.
If I had it to do over again, this is the kind of stuff that catches my passion. Great video Brent thanks
Amazing! Appreciate the history, descriptions, drawings and products. I actually learned something. Thank you.
Awesome information! Very thankful for the sharing of knowledge!
Thanks for the instruction. I plan to make a door and this helped tremendously.
7:10 - I love that door. I've spent my life referring to that style as the "private detective" door.
Outstanding video! Remarkable job, mate!
This is a great 'history of technology' for doors.

To choose to build an exterior wooden door that will last 100 years takes money, time, skill but mostly a shift in mindset. Thank you sir for your passion. We are blessed by your decision to share it.
great video + explanation! well done mate! thanks for sharing!
I think it's cool to hear about the history and also get a glimpse into how to apply the useful bits today. I'm comfortable with mixing materials to achieve my goals and so I automatically envisioned a metal drip edge on the bottom. Otherwise pretty much solid.
Hello,
Thank you very much for posting this excellent video on how to build doors that last. I am trying to expand my business into building custom interior doors that will last and this video gave me a lot of ideas.
At a time where many of the products on the market is poorly made and hardly last few years, especially when it comes to windows, it is refreshing to watch this video.
Thank you again and look forward to watching more videos from this channel.

Such a Masterclass on doormaking.
Thank you very much.
Very nice overview! Thanks for sharing knowledge
Excellent video, thank you. Especially as I'm about to build 3 internal doors.
Most informative 25 minutes I've ever spent on doors, great craftsmanship and thank you for sharing.
Very good detailed information I really like how you explain the era and style of the doors 😃
Thankyou for this content! I truly appreciate your knowledge, a true skilled craftsman.
True craftsman. Great video.

Me too...
This video should have been named. “The Ultimate comprehensive explanation of door construction “ Well done !
Absolutely incredible explanation! Thank you so much, time to go build a door!
Thanks Brent! I have an Amish friend who builds doors. Only doors. He says he doesn't build doors... he does art and they happen to be doors. I'm going to show him this video and see his reaction.

Very cool interesting stuff!
Wow that was a great video on doors and door history. We just bought an old home from 1886. What a great lesson.
Fascinating, thank you!
Great video!
Good info on doors but you should offset hole in tenon for drawbore with square peg
If I'm correct what you're describing is using the peg not only to hold the door in place but also to pull it together
Excellent and interesting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great information!
Great video! Explained with detail.
Wow! Awesome instructions and knowledge given. Thank you for sharing your experience! New Subscriber.
thank u for sharing your knowledge
Great video,so much informations,so usefull,thanks for your time and effort
Awesome explanation!
Very good explanation. Thanks, sir.
thanks for the info, that was awesome. Im making some doors at the moment
Thank you very much for the lesson 👍
Bravo! Excellent video
Awesome video
Great information.
wow... u opened doors for me and a window of opportunity to build mine successfully ;)
Appreciate the points you highlighted, cheers mate from downunder
Very informative.
Thanks Brent. I found your video when looking for information on building composite doors. I need a very well insulated door for my parents home, but the style of the door needs to be that of the 1930s! I had already arrived af the idea of a three layer door, an insulated core, with the two outer layers being overlaid versions of a panelled door. It was great to see two layer doors that had been built in history as this validated the idea somewhat. I think an insulated door would be a good solution for the Texas court house with the very wide temperature variations on each side of the door.
“Which really aren’t a door in my opinion” I like this guy. 😆
Very educational and thanks
I have restored a small building built in1920. There are plenty of Craftsman details. It has a door that is smaller than today's standard measurments. The door is pretty much unrestorable, so I will be building a replacement. Thanks fot the eductional video. Subscribed!

ive watched this a few times, very important info for someone who wants to build doors for a living
Great video, and thanks for sharing your knowledge! Soooo, how is the weep hole integrated into the design of the door? Where does the water exit, under the moulding?
excellent video
your very knowledgeable in wood.
Wow I never knew that. Thank you
I’m from San Antonio and I truly enjoyed the amount & the way ya shared the history of proper door building.
I was on a REFORGER exercise in Germany and we were stopped in a ole small town & we met a Panzer unit & we were Redlegs .
So , I had asked about a ole looking house as our group was walking to the Gasthaus and the Sgt of the Panzer told me that the numbers of the house weren’t the address but the year it was built, so it was built around the 1400 ‘s .
It had wonderful looking doors .
I think when I have more money I’ll do my due diligence and order the wood as ya explained and I do have a question about the selection of woods that one might use .
What are your top recommendations for an exterior door and for it be a mixture of the styles that ya covered and would a mesquite veneer be possible ?
Thanks 🙏
I used to think doors are just on plane of wood, and I knew it’s not that simple. This taught me a lot
This is a great detailed video! I feel I now completely understand how to make a good solid wood door.
I have two questions:
The Veneer on the stave core, does it matter the cut type? ie. Can it be flat sawn?
Type of wood. Are we talking the hardness and rot resistance of the wood? My current options are construction grade SPF or my own Birch. I might be able to find a maple log to cut.
My mind is blowing...🙏
So interesting!
this is the best video on the internet to learn how to make doors well. Hands down. look no further. listen to no one else.
Best video i ve seen in a looooooooooooong time. Could you perhaps recommend some further reading? Thank you very much, sir
You’ve presented this topic in such an interesting and informative way. I’m looking to build a backyard gate. I wonder your well thought out engineering of stav core and vaneer applies to gates?

Valuable information
Nice to get some history.
I remember seeing a product for wood turners that replaces the moisture in wood with a glycol type of fluid, it is suppose to keep the wood from drying out & cracking.
Damn cool video 👍
I saw the title and figured the answer would be "with a million dollars worth of machinery in a giant factory" - instead I learned about stave cores. Thank you.
I start my first carpentry job tommorow at a custom door and window company
I was not expecting this level of expertise when I clicked this video.
The doors are perfect
Great video! You emphasized wood choice several times. Do you have any resources about wood choices? Especially species selection based on locale and weather.

My 1920s house has plank doors. One of them with arched top.
Fabulous
Just curious @20:00 you talk about the dowels locking the mortise/tenon together. How about a DRAW-BORE method? Would that work with a dowel same size as the hole?
And/Or a tapered dowel.
BSN is back in a big way!
Hello good i love this
Wow… you covered a lot of ground. 👍🏼
What prevents termites from flying in that weep hole and destroying the door internally? Is it chemically treated besides using a species that repeals insects or do you do something else? Great video!
I'm glad to know me just buying some woodworking tools and winging it is 1880s technology with titebond 3
I'd love to hear a similar discussion with designing dutch doors.

Genius
I have a glass and aluminium door that was made along with its frame and adjoining window that is fully sealed when shut. My wife just saw this video and wants a solid wood door, she thinks they are beautiful and have character.
I will try my best
Where in tx are you? I build doors for a living and would love to improve the build quality
What If you sealed the ends of the boards would that eliminate expansion?
you just opened my mind wide about doors ......
wow i had no clue that doors were just floating panels of wood. mind is blown
