    Need to build a couple doors, and you showed me how to do it without spending a fortune. Thanks for being thorough with your explanations. You have no need for apologies, you are out there doing it, and it is appreciated. Cheers, Mate.

    Well, since it's been nearly 6 months and you haven't gotten any hate comments about the materials/technique used to build this door, let me be "that guy!" 🤣😂🤣😂 JUST KIDDING!!!
    I've actually built numerous doors in the same fashion, using the same materials when a client is facing budget constraints, and everybody has been more than happy with the finished product and the price-point. You are absolutely right about $500 being a bargain! I've never built a door using this method for less than $800, and my typical custom-built barn doors sell for well over $1500 plus hardware and installation. You've got a new subscriber here! I like that your videos are straight forward and to the point.

    Beautiful door! Can't believe you held your fence with your hands rather than needing clamps. You're Mr. Musles!! I certainly could never pull that off! Anyway: back of the door is perfect to hang an ironing board! TY for sharing the vid! 😃

    Thanks for this. I am getting ready to build closet doors for 3 bedrooms and a laundry closet. (Raised 3 boys and they broke all the builder grade stuff over the years. Now they are all out of the house.) I'm totally going to use this method.

    Nice work. Glad you mentioned edge banding the plywood--I was thinking that would be a good approach for a stained finish. I like to cut strips off of 1/x stock and glue it up.

    I was looking for a good solution for a few sets of sliding bypass closet doors in a barn door style that she plans to paint.
    The hardware I have to work with only works with doors from 1" to 1 3/8", which has its own challenges when one doesn’t own a planer.
    Using this method will let me go with 1/2" plywood for the back and 1x6 for the frame and have them come in right in the ballpark of what my hardware will handle.
    Thanks for posting.

    When I make my barn doors, they never lay flat on the table, there is always a lift on both side...could you tell me why this happens?..I use pine boards for the whole build

  • @nasarazam
    @nasarazam 3 роки тому

    Nice. One idea that I thought of is, you could cut grooves 1/16" deep and 4" apart in the plywood with your track saw. That will make it look as if you have used 4" wide planks. Also, why do you need to go through the hassle of biscuit joins when you are using glue and screws? I think you can get away without the biscuit joinery. Thoughts?

    • @LazyLabAcres
      @LazyLabAcres  3 роки тому +4

      I didn't want any separation at the joints. Biscuits make everything align better. Not completely necessary I guess, but I wouldn't leave them out

      Considering what lumber prices were in July 2021; additional materials such as nails, screws, glue, and paint; plus, a man is entitled to compensation for his time, knowledge & know-how . . . $500 is a bargain for a custom-built door!
