    Good to know at this stage if the double doors are being rebated together as it’ll change the lining size🪚great vids as always.top🍌

      Great point Alex👊I, perhaps, shouldn't have proceeded on the assumption that everyone knows what size doors they will be fitting😮Cheers Del

    Great advice Del, i always used to carry a box of miscellaneous plastic shims off window fitters if someone else had done the studwork

    Nice explination. I like to use 4.2's for long floor plates. It helps with marking out and then once all the studs are up I go back through and cut out the door ways when I fit the door linings. I find it helps to keep the door ways in wind whilst the walls are being boarded.

      And cut into the bottom of the plate about 10 mm so your saw doesn’t hit the concrete when you cut them out later 👍🏻

    Another great wee video
    Irish sizes are different and doors are all 44mm
    I like to fit a dummy frame in new builds as options are open for Prehung Door Sets and also frames can be oak or walnut veneered ,
    Wouldn't get damaged during plastering and with other trades

      Hi JA🖐 I'd absolutely love to work for builders that allowed for dummy frames to be fitted, as, like you say, it keeps your option open but more importantly, doesn't subject the frames to moisture and damage😩Appreciate your comment and thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

    Another great video , what I have found here in Aus if go to the next door size up it gives the opening so for example 720mm door the next door size is 770mm that's the opening for 720 door and so on don't know if it works with imperial ☘️

    • @thetallcarpenter

      I see what you're saying Dominick👍I presume your door sizes go up in smaller increments than 3" like they do here🤔

  • @paulfinnonjoinery
    @paulfinnonjoinery 2 роки тому +1

    i always go for door linings as oposed to frames. another thing that catches people out up here is a lot of doors are 32 inch by 80 inch. apparently thats a size fairly unique to the north east. it also means standard lengths of architrave at 4.2 m are no good ( howdens sizes) so normally youd cut a length in half and then remember like ive done on more than one occasion....

      Hi Paul🖐I had come across the 2'8" door and it's interesting that they are more common up your way🤔I don't think I've ever fitted proper door frames since I finished my apprenticeship, and it's always these awful quality whitewood linings instead🤮Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 😎 Cheers Del

    But how about trying the reverse 🤔 😏
    Continuous base plate like the ceiling ??
    Then cut out for door with multi-tool Use the base plate for header.
    Hope you can understand. Sorry if as thick as mud
    All good 👍just for speed for multi development.

      Hi Tim🖐I suppose it mainly habit, and, historically, I've never liked being on my knees cutting the door ways out against a concrete floor with my hand saw, and it always feels to me like the opening is complete and I don't have to come back to it. Old habits die hard, as they say😮Thanks for your comment and for watching😎Cheers Del

    daft how we use imperial measurements for doors , 1/8 or 3.2mm is ideal tolerance any more can be a big mistake
    I love the imperial, but metric is more accurate
