    For this woodworking and metalworking project, for the past 16 years I have intended to rebuild the basement door of my 200+ year old farm house… and finally I am doing just that! The wood for this door build is maple from the saw mill, which has been dried for over a year…. and I did leave room in the door frame for expansion. The gaps on the doorframe a will be filled in with mortar when the weather warms up. I hope that you enjoy this project!
    Than you

      i was wondering how you would even fill in the gaps, i was thinking spray foam? but how do you cover that up? some kind of scribed trim? but yeah, mortar, duh.. love it

    As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

      Why would I care if he used a level? I have 12 different levels in sizes from 6-feet down to 8-inches and I don't need Jimmy Diresta to remind me how to use them.

    Watching you videos is what got me into "making" years ago. I'm a barber by trade, but now I have a single car garage filled with old (some new) woodworking tools, a welder and plenty of projects that I am proud to say "I made that"! Thanks Jimmy!

    When I'm doing a project that looks old I like to take a torch to the zinc hardware until it gets red hot. It leaves it with a black patina that can be waxed, lacquered or just left to rust. It's an easy way to come up with some old looking hardware.

    This cellar entrance looks eerily similar to one which I had started a very similar door replacement for but never finished - now I see how it could have gone! In particular, your welded pin-into-foundation mounting scheme is a simple yet very effective manner of attachment and one which I had not imagined for my build. Excellent concept and build. I too am a fan of boiled linseed oil for some of my wood projects.
