Build a beadLOCK Joined Oak Screen Door

The seasons are definitely changing so I apologize for the wind, cloud and sun shifts in this video. I decided to change the flimsy screen door I had, to one built out of white oak. I did all the joinery with beadLOCK thinking that I needed strong joints to handle the weight of the inch and a eighth thick oak boards. In hindsight, biscuits would've worked just as well or just about any traditional joinery like mortise and tenon. Anyway, it's built and because it's white oark, I probably will never have to replace it again.

Wow thanks for this. I'm doing a door and was deciding whether to by a dedicated tool or this rockler device. Rockler it is so far. Unless i find the energy to make a jig for dowels😊. Thanks again.

Looks great. And it was nice not having to listen to never ending narration of the process. And for NOT begging us to "Like, subscribe and ring the bell".

Looks GREAT.
We have a house built in 1910 with a 42" wide door.
The door is Oak with Beveled Glass.
Any type of screen door is almost $400.
I decided to follow your design and made door for our house.
Even with buying the bead-lock jig I will have less than $200 in the door. & it will look ORIGINAL to the house.
Great Job
Thanks for sharing.

Most screen doors rot in a few years anyway and the oak will still be standing long after the house is gone. It will take you a bit to drill all the holes but if you do it outside like I did, time won't matter. Thanks for watching and consider subscribing.

Never knew Bret Favre was a wood worker. Good job man.

[@mediasawdust2458]

Thanks, solid as a rock.

This should have way more views. Very good job. True craftsmanship.

[@mediasawdust2458]

Thanks. That was a great few days to be woodworking outside. Thanks for watching.

[@Vagmodrising]

Great job, looks solid

[@mediasawdust2458]

It's a nice door, albeit heavy one, mounted on the side of the house that takes a beating weather wise. It's aged nicely ( I don't like things to look brand new.) Thanks for watching.

Good job!!!

[@mediasawdust2458]

Thanks, I really like the way it's aging too. Thanks for watching.

Best "Build a Screen Door" video I've watch. Video production may be better on others but your woodworking skills and techniques were a great help. Thanks. How is the screen door today? Warped or Sagging?

[@mediasawdust2458]

Not sagging, white oak just greys up which is what I wanted. The only thing I might have to do is change the screw heads on the hinges as they are rusting a little.

You could have a small work bench next to this one for your supplies so you don't have to bend over.

[@mediasawdust2458]

One of those things where you just start working and forget the obvious.

Looks good brotha! did you have a little jig set up on that router or just a steady hand? Is that 1" white oak?

[@mediasawdust2458]

Thanks, it's a great looking door. I built it out of 1 1/8" white oak. Anything thicker and it would've just been too heavy. You can see how hard it was to move as it was but 3/4" would've been a little too flimsy I thought. There was no jig on the router, I just used a chamfering bit with a ball bearing. Thanks for watching.

[@isaacshelton315]

What type of bit did you use?

[@mediasawdust2458]

Just a chamfering bit to help the water run off.
