I don't know how you are dealing with all the open floor space for assembly. The doors look very nice. I love the Black hinges . Thank you for sharing your project with us. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy 😊 and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
I’ve been watching the shorts on this, so it’s nice to have it in longer form too. I appreciate your problem solving along the way. The doors are looking awesome!
The doors are looking great, once the glass is fitted it will certainly change the look of the doors but only for the better i think, looking forward to the finish going on👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
I love your work and especially your work philosophy Caitlin, always studying and learning not only the quality of the visual work but also the durability of the work you deliver, which is very important for good work, I congratulate you for that drive!!! !, I only need a smile, but you told me that it was hereditary from your father!!! 😔😉
Thanks! There was a steep learning curve for this build, it touched on a lot of areas I haven't really dealt with before. I understand fully why these custom doors catch such a high price tag. Especially the ones with a lot of glass panes.
HB, it is coming together, it might be worth putting painters tape round where you’re going to glue up. It’s worth spending some time on doing this as it makes it easier for cleaning up afterwards., when setting your hinges in it’s a good idea to make sure your number your hinges it might seem strange, but sometimes they can vary in the length of them sometimes, I normally leave somewhere between three and four mil gap all round the door, and whether the two doors come together in the centre they overlap by approximately 15 mil from what I can remember, this way you can put in two rubber seals, and I normally use what they call Euro in both sets of doors, the slave door just locks top and bottom the master door locks top bottom and in the centre as well, Though this is the professional way of doing it, you do need some serious amount of equipment to do the job, Because I had a lot of work in making doors, I ended up buying a Mafell door lock mortising machine, considering you have not a lot of space and not a lot of tools and equipment, I think you’re doing exceptionally well, keep at it you’ll get there, I just remembered it might be worth making up a pair of A- frames, which you can attach to either side of the door frames to stand the door frame upright whilst you installing all the gear, Keep up the great work look forward to seeing the finish project,
Thanks! I always appreciate feedback from people who have more experience in certain builds then myself. These are actually ready for the glass and install, but man oh man do I wish I would have thought of the A frames for this. They might or might have taken a tumble at one point and have the scars to prove it.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks glad I can help, A frames can help if you have to deliver something, I have made very large windows that had to go on a frat bed trailer to wide for the trailer so it had to stand on its side, it is a shame that you are from the other side of the world 🌍, I could make a door set in less than a week, depending on the size, but on the other hand, I have taken best part of a month to make a very large door and frame, as you can probably imagine the door was very very expensive, Keep up the great work , stay safe, France,
As you come to needing a track saw more, just tell your next customer that the additional cost is due to having to buy a track saw. Tell them everyone must contribute. I am sure they will go along with that. Yeah.
Hals Wood Shop...So I can say I have learned a lot from your Channel and watched from your past Shop and now this Shop. The solid joinery ( a bane of screw pockets) , table saw techniques and reworking to inspire watchers. Planning and planning...maybe some errors to learn from. Books and so nice not to see sketchup..yup old guy here I did pencil paper mechanicall drafting in high school but now give me an object and I can draw it or copy it and show it 3D in seconds. The doors project has not been more to my taste but a lesson in learning to me. Great work. Show it off. Keep up the Channel. Thanks.
Thanks! There is a time and place to pocket screws. I just find that some (emphasis on some) builds on UA-cam stretch the utility of them. Which in the defense of the builder, I think the stretching of their utility is encouraged by KREG.
Epoxy was the right choice. I used to use Tight Bond 3 for everything. About 7 years ago I made a desk for my daughter, and I was pretty happy with it. She bought a gaming laptop about 5 years ago and sometimes later the desktop developed a gap right at the glue line. I felt like I must of messed up the glue up. I called tightbond product support and they pretty much corroborated your author. TB recommended to extend for the application which is ASTM D-905 rated for 150 f. I went ahead and reminded and reglued with it. Not the best solution however, as the temperatures on the bottom of the laptop were higher. I should have used epoxy. My daughter now uses a laptop riser.
Hey Honey Badger! Hope your weekend is going well. I agree with you that sometimes it seems like a certain project can go on with no end in sight. But just wait until you finish up and see how nice those doors are going to look. You show the signs of true craftsmanship in your ability to make sure that everything is done the way it should be , by way of the many times you go through the motions of dry fitting certain areas of the construction and double checking areas that you have already checked. Also checking out how if you had went with regular wood glue instead of epoxy there could have been a risk of joint failure. I didn’t know that myself, so I learned something also. Once these doors are done and in place, you’ll walk away with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment of a job well done. Wondering what the finish is going to be, Water Lox or Osmo ? Or something else? Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I used PPG ProLuxe Formerly Sikkens. It was a finish that kept popping up in recommendations for people that do a lot of exterior work. Also, I plan on having an install video of this and people will see I'm lucky with this build in the sense that the door has a lot of cover and only gets maybe an hour of direct sunlight a day.
Your work is exceptional...the advice from professionals (???) is questionable (which is an opinion not asked for; apologies in advance for that.) Ask yourself this; why is it that...modern industrial fenestration...made with plastics, aluminum, “engineered wood” and all manner of industrial materials of many types and held together with plastics (i.e. epoxy being plastic) all only have 25-year warranties on most? I have restored traditional windows and doors over 300 years old and consulted with colleagues working on doors over 600 years old in Europe. I found your channel and joined while a client was researching traditional doors as they wanted me to build them similar to this, which I wouldn’t as I only work in the folk styles and mostly with “green wood” by the modern perspective of “cooked wood,”...LOL. Again your craft and work are exceptional and I have loved following along on this project. My worry is the finish you select is also a “plastic finish” which just does not last as claimed and traditional finishes do not play well with plastic glues unless you get it all off well which it seems you are cleaning up well as you went. I appreciate your concern about which glue to use. Neither your doors nor what I am making currently for this timber frame project are, fully traditional in context. Traditional fenestration is held together with a “drawn joiner,” along with traditional glues and caulking. I look forward to seeing how these come out, as I’m at the same stage on this project with all the same bothers…LOL!!!
My mother is a lover of old houses, so all the homes I lived in into adulthood were older homes. Having spent the most years in an old victorian (1879 I realize this is baby years compared to European countries). I could talk for days about my lack of fondness for pressure treated wood and chemicals. That Victorian is still standing strong with the majority of its original woodwork rot free. None of it is pressure treated. But, where issues have come up are spots where water pools, extreme sun exposure, and joinery that allows water penetration. Specifically the mortise and tenons on the old shutters are in need of repair, because over the years with the lack of a good glue joint, water has worked it's way in and deteriorated the joint from the inside out. And while I hate plastics and epoxy the thought process for using the epoxy is not just to hold the door together, but also to best keep the water out of places it should not be.
I don’t have a track saw either but I made a track for my circular saw. I took a piece of 1/4” about 1.5 times wider than the plate of the saw. Glued a runner to one side and run the saw both sides to cut to fit my circular saw. And then made multiple sizes from 24” to 8’ long. 😊
I know it is rated as an exterior glue, and I have used it as an exterior glue, but after this build I don't think I will use it in exterior applications anymore. I hate epoxy, but it is the better choice.
I'm actually really happy this is a barter build instead of a paying job. Because the materials cost on this one has been a huge learning curve as well. Especially the materials for the glass. If this had been a paying job my estimate would have been way off, and I would have been eating a lot of costs.

Thanks!
Coffee time with some Honey Badger.😊
Nice.
I think this makes you pass the pro test.
I’ve been watching the shorts on this, so it’s nice to have it in longer form too. I appreciate your problem solving along the way. The doors are looking awesome!
Thanks! I recognize some of the shorts commenters on these longer form videos.
I was building shelves today. All day. It was 84 degrees out there. It felt great!
Nice! It's been unseasonably cold here. But today the high is in the 80s and I can't wait.
Thank you HoneyBadger. Best Sat breakfast ever English Tea, muffins and watching your video.
hahah Nice!
The doors are looking great, once the glass is fitted it will certainly change the look of the doors but only for the better i think, looking forward to the finish going on👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
Thanks!
This is looking so good! The customer will be very happy with you.
Thanks!

Great progress! Santa. Track saw. Get your list in now!
hahaha.

These "damn doors" are coming along beautifully. Thanks for sharing, and thumbs up as always.
Thanks! Happy people are still watching these. The longer series builds usually drop off pretty big in viewership the more parts of a series there is.
Another beautiful build with a talented woodworker! Nice work!
Thanks!
You’re doing a great job on the doors. I am amazed what you accomplish with limited tools. To think I spent so much on tools I could by without.
Thanks! You can get a lot done with limited tools. The trade off is that is just usually takes a lot longer.
As you come to needing a track saw more, just tell your next customer that the additional cost is due to having to buy a track saw. Tell them everyone must contribute. I am sure they will go along with that. Yeah.
hahaha. I know you are just joking, but unfortunately I know people that use unethical means like this in business and tell me I should too.

That's crazy. I'll have to check my bottle because I don't believe it says on there that this is an issue, and it should.

Very nice job as always looking very good!!! 👍👌💯
Love those doors and your commentary on your builds are awesome. Hoping to see what finish you use and installing the glass. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks! The finish is PPG Proluxe formerly Sikkens. And I plan on having a complete series of this one including installation.
Coming along nice!
Thanks
I made some signs using Tite Bond 3 and after the first storm half the letters fell off. I brought my compressor and nailed them all back on.
I know it is rated as an exterior glue, and I have used it as an exterior glue, but after this build I don't think I will use it in exterior applications anymore. I hate epoxy, but it is the better choice.
Looking great! One of those jobs you kinda wished you could’ve quoted time and materials?
I'm actually really happy this is a barter build instead of a paying job. Because the materials cost on this one has been a huge learning curve as well. Especially the materials for the glass. If this had been a paying job my estimate would have been way off, and I would have been eating a lot of costs.
Yes, they do(look great...) rr
Thanks!
👏👏👏👏👍🇺🇾
You always make it work, Kat.
