    This door is gorgeous, and I absolutely LOVE the heart shaped window! You made such good choices on the materials, and the red is obviously a great contrast to the green trim.

    Thanks for the pre-bore tip on running the drill backwards to avoid the splits.

    Great tip about installing screws that are placed close to the ends of boards by using the reverse on the drill to start the screws so the boards don't split. Thanks.

    Any thought to wood movement? I'm thinking the door would expand in width more than anything. By placing the tong and groove so tight I would be worried about it splitting the cross braces.

    • @kenskarpentry
      @kenskarpentry  3 місяці тому

      Typically, when you buy tongue and groove lumber, it’s still fairly wet and shrinks so it should be fine.

  • @guygrotke8059
    @guygrotke8059 3 місяці тому +2

    I think this would have been a lot easier if you had trimmed off both sides, so the door was the finished width before adding any other boards. Then any mistake would have been obvious before putting in any screws.
