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.
Just found your video thanks I’m on my second barn door we had a house fire last January Im a steel stud guy tar wood ceilings drywall etc ..rebuilding the house combo wood and steel stud walls I got hooked on wood working hence the barn doors Im fortunate to have access to the old feed store lumber (it collapsed three years ago 🤦♂️from a snow storm) anyway long story short lol here’s what I’ve done so far APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEOS
I’m building a tiny compartment to chill with a barn door below an outdoor staircase for my dog. I’ll be starting the project tomorrow morning following the instructions on this video, cleared a-lot of my doubts i hope my door comes out as good as your did. Thanks!👍
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.
Hi 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
Nice vid is the first one i saw from you it was perfect since i was actually thinking if this could be done and look you just did it thank you for the info
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?
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!
$500, wow! I guess if you're using Sherwin Williams AND you're doing the paint job, yeah. But wow! I paid $129 for my brand new unfinished yellow pine barn door, then stained it then clear coated it and it is immaculate!

glad you decided to make the video
Thanks for watching!
Came out great! Don’t ever make apologies or excuses for the way you do something. The arm chair critics are always going to be out there.
I know that's right!
I plan to make two the same way this weekend for our laundry room. Great video!
Bro I literally just needed to see how to brace the plywood, you did a great job bro. Helped very much

Thanks for the video from Ontario, Canada. Keep them coming !
I appreciate the support!

Great video, I appreciate the candidness, and the instruction is great, thank you!
Keeping it simple and cost effective. I love it💕
Great job young man, don’t let the arm chair experts get to you, the plywood will stay good and straight, good job.
Thank you! I'm confident and been doing this long enough to block out the nonsense!
I love your idea
Thank you!
I need to build a couple of doors for a closet under a carport, if I did it that way how do you think they would hold up?
Lovely! I'm looking at inexpensive options and this fits the bill! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
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.
That's what I did for my most recent doors. Worked great!
Thanks for the vid brother! Hope all is good.
Thanks for the support!
It looks great! Now that it has been a while, has the door shown any warping. I'm getting ready to build 6 doors. Thanks!
Question…love this style, but I need an exterior barn door…what materials would you use to be cost conscious?
Nice job brother, my wife just asked me if I can make one, well I’m going to try
Go for it!

Sorry can’t seem to add pics but I burned and used old tin from the old roof from said feed store made mistakes but I’m learning again thanks buddy
And I’ve been training Labs since I was 15 my license plates are LABLVR OREGON PLATES LOL

Love your work table what size is that and break down of the parts?

I appreciate the support Danny!
Looks good to me. Thanks for sharing Iowa is watching
I appreciate your support!
Great looking door! Stay safe.
Thanks Drew!
Helped us!! Ty for doing the video and hope you have other great ideas to share!!
Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support!
Exactly what I was looking for!!! Awesome
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thanks... What size/length brad nail did you use?
Great Job Well Done!
Thanks!
Great job with the build and amazing on the painting.
Thank you!
Any ideas on how I could use this technique for 50 inch wide door, given the plywood width is 48 inches max ? Thanks
Hi
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
If your pine boards are from a big box store I reckon that is your problem.
What kind of plywood did u use and was it white or wood color. I want to make one and this was much easier than the other ones
If I remember correctly it was blonde wood from Lowes
Nice work Brother!
Thank you!
Very nice! Thank you!
Well done
Nice job. When you are using the sprayer do you have to thin the paint?
Are you doing this in a storage unit!? How does this work, I need space!
Yup, I've got a shop tour video about it!
X banded is that what you said on the side but what does that mean
Great door indeed and thanks for sharing. I’m wondering how will it look If you were to do the back side design.
How much did you spend for what you bought?
Good job!
Nice vid is the first one i saw from you it was perfect since i was actually thinking if this could be done and look you just did it thank you for the info
Thanks for tuning in!
Looks great. What do you do with all the saw dust? The storage place don't mind?
I was wondering the same thing
I'm in the wrong business great job!!
Thanks for watching!
Less of you, more of door.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
😂😂
could ya route grooves into the flat side ?
I didn't even waste my time watching the videos that were created in wood shops with expensive equipment anf tools. This is the way.
I prefer my expensive tools but didn't have access to them while at this shop 😂
Awesome!
nice door
What kind of router bit was that?
Beautiful work😁 How thick is your plywood?
he said 3/4 for big doors but 1/2 for kitchens/bath doors.
Forget the comments. Thank you!
I don't pay attention 😂
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?
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
@@LazyLabAcres agreed! Biscuits make a strong joint.
We all need to count pennies. Thankyou
How thick is your plywood
3/4
$500? He might be your friend but you aren't his. You are way too proud of yourself for that.
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!
I don't work for free.
common sense rules!!!
Are you running a business out of the self storage?
I was while we lived in the tiny house that we built
ARE YOU WORKING OUT OFF A STORAGE BUILDING
I was
40 bucks is just not worth a reputation, especially for a ‘friend’!
Ha! If it looks nice who cares what imaginary "high class" rules you think exist. If it works who literally freaking cares karen!
I love the door, but to call it DIY with all the specialty tools is a bit much.
Too much talk
Too much type
Bla bla bla bla
$500, wow! I guess if you're using Sherwin Williams AND you're doing the paint job, yeah. But wow! I paid $129 for my brand new unfinished yellow pine barn door, then stained it then clear coated it and it is immaculate!
