I was just about to make the very same comment, on another note I would have made the frame up first and fixed in situ and the door made to suit that opening.
Not a criticism - genuinely curious; do you think the fact the top is only secured by a little barrel bolt perhaps undermines the security of the lower half?
Tip (you might already know): Try using the speed bit in reverse at first to score the surface of the timber before switching back and finishing drilling the hole, you'll not get any of that tearout.
Perfect timing. I’ve just made a very similar door and was looking for a suitable lock. I’ve just ordered one, along with the handle, from your link. Thank you
Matt a piece of advice, if you are going to use a Dulux Weathershield finish you should use DW primer, it's a special microporous primer it allows the wood to breath after painting.
Haha now come on talking about nit picking, how much of an emergency would it need to be for that 1 second extra to pull the door and walkout then to push it open and walk out ? Its a summer house for his parents garden not a meth lab that the police are going to raid.
Nice track saw Matt. I have the cored version. Strawbyte work shop do a really neat cover which fills the hole in the guard for even better extraction. The hole shape looks different to cordered version though from the quick look in the video 🤔
Brilliant, Matt! Pretty neat work! 😃 You know, a cousin of mine did woodworking professionally, for decades... And now he plans to sell his property and move to my city (the name is Caraguatatuba and I challenge you to pronounce it! 😬). The idea is exactly to buy a house with a big garden and build something exactly like that. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice work. You made that look easy. Having made a door myself I can recall the effort and attention needed to get everything square and for the hinges and (especially) the locks to work well. This project is coming along very nicely :)
Any reason why you had the doors open inwards instead of outwards? Outwards opening would give more useable space inside and it would be a lot harder for toerags to boot the door in.
Matt, have you thought about adding some red lights to the inside of your temporary workshop? Worked wonders when I had a similar light colour issue inside a green tent. I used a rear bike light alongside a white front one as a camping torch and it made the light more natural.
What thickness is that timber for cladding and the support panels please? Is this wood suitable for outdoor use and are you likely to have any issues with it expansion and contraction?
Hi Matt, that is a excellent looking barn door, or I think they ard called a 'dutch door' in the US, great work mate, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
Hi Matt just thinking about your Table Saw problem, would it be too high for you sitting it on the work table as i'm sure you had the Mitre Saw on the floor once and that's now on there? Oh great video everything is coming together nicely. Stay Safe, Barry (the Wirral)
Hey Matt. Am I right in saying that normally doors and gates have a diagonal support on them. Did yours not need one because it was a stable door (less weight per hinge, due to it being cut in half)?
Enjoying the build mate I've just started following you after following Keith brown from his beggining love the workshop build but is the door really secure? Where I live the youths would have the door off and the worksop emptied in a flash
The door is looking pretty damn awesome Matt I reckon your mum is going to be putting it through it's paces in the warmer weather. Out of curiosity do you recall what size the hinges were that you used? I've looked through your amazon list but couldn't find them anywhere. I willbe ordering the lock and handle within the next couple of weeks so cheers for that. As always buddy 💯% 👍. P.s. Will order through your link!

Nice job Matt, you might want to add some diagonal braces to the inside of the door, without it they tend to droop a bit.
I was just about to make the very same comment, on another note I would have made the frame up first and fixed in situ and the door made to suit that opening.
Not a criticism - genuinely curious; do you think the fact the top is only secured by a little barrel bolt perhaps undermines the security of the lower half?
nice job Matt . I also would have put a diagonal brace on .it will move all over the shop as winter sets in😊
Looks good but You should fit a diagonal bracing or the doors will rack
You’d think so… but every internal door in my house is constructed like this (out of oak) and they haven’t gone out of square in over 20 years.
You probably should of painted the tongue and grooves before assembly because when the boards contract you'll see bare wood.
Matt, shouldn't you have put the big lock on the top door as you can now get in by just pushing the top door which is only held by the little bolt?
Nice job! I'd recommend some diagonal bracing on the doors to prevent them sagging over time.
Holy moly the cliff hanger of not mentioning the drip until the very end; thought I was going to have to leave a comment... Oh.
Tip (you might already know): Try using the speed bit in reverse at first to score the surface of the timber before switching back and finishing drilling the hole, you'll not get any of that tearout.
Nice job, but isn't the rain going to get in where the doors overlap?
The upper section of the door should lap over the bottom section.
I love all your videos, but perhaps this one is my favorite. Your presentation has a lot to do with that.
He mentioned a drip edge for both the centre and bottom towards the end of the video.
Nice job Matt !!
Matt..I love watching your work, so awesome :)!!
It's coming on very nicely.
Nice strong lock on the bottom part of the door, little bolt holding the top door............
Lets down the security there.
Great project, but I would definitely have chosen outward doors. :)
Great skill and thought out process, same as the Windows. You make it look so easy
very good enjoyed watching that :p
Perfect timing. I’ve just made a very similar door and was looking for a suitable lock. I’ve just ordered one, along with the handle, from your link. Thank you
Has worked well on our back gate for last five years
Matt a piece of advice, if you are going to use a Dulux Weathershield finish you should use DW primer, it's a special microporous primer it allows the wood to breath after painting.
Looks fantastic Matt.
Wow made that look so easy ! Fantastic stuff again 😁
Starting to look great. I would have made the door outward opening as in an emergency you can exit quickly.
Most houses have doors this way
Haha now come on talking about nit picking, how much of an emergency would it need to be for that 1 second extra to pull the door and walkout then to push it open and walk out ? Its a summer house for his parents garden not a meth lab that the police are going to raid.
@@AMG63 ... but we have no idea what Matt’s parents get up to in their spare time 🤣
Nice and neat mate ! Really quite elegant if I may say so. Cheers Mate, Brian
Shouldn’t you install the locker on the upper side of the door? It would’ve lock the bottom half as well.
Nice job on your barn doors 😃
Very smart, love the handle & latch details
Great job! Coming along nicely - thanks for sharing!
Hello Matt...where to buy the lock? Can you please share the link?
Great videos! Thank you. Would I use parliament hinges if I wanted to open this stable door outwards? Any suggestions would be welcome! Cheers!
Nice track saw Matt. I have the cored version. Strawbyte work shop do a really neat cover which fills the hole in the guard for even better extraction.
The hole shape looks different to cordered version though from the quick look in the video 🤔
Great looking door! I really like the hardware you chose.

Really enjoying your garden room build Matt, looking top notch👏👍, cheers Rob
Thank you Rob

maybe the garden bench could be used for the table saw ?
Good job but definitely add diagonal braces to stop those dropping.
How's your base working out? I can't believe how simple it is!
Hi matt, great job and the same design as my own workshop door but I put diagonals in because unfortunately they will drop slightly over time
Good job 👍
Thank you
Looks good! Not a fan of the Weathershield 3-part system I see?
Any reason why you had the doors open inwards instead of outwards? Outwards opening would give more useable space inside and it would be a lot harder for toerags to boot the door in.
Random question Where did u get your trouser braces from.
Matt, have you thought about adding some red lights to the inside of your temporary workshop? Worked wonders when I had a similar light colour issue inside a green tent. I used a rear bike light alongside a white front one as a camping torch and it made the light more natural.

Enjoying watching your build. I have a question. Why have the lock on the bottom door?
Hi Matt, that is a excellent looking barn door, or I think they ard called a 'dutch door' in the US, great work mate, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
Im losing track now how many workshop builds is this?
👍👍👍

It is not a workshop
@@Badgerworkshop yh I can see now it's not your house just a mix up of facts on my behalf look forward to the next stage👍

Surely if you cut the door in half it'll be an un-stable door, not a stable door?
Those braces are ledgers.
