Hey, that's great to hear. You don't want to see the work I did when I was starting. LOL. I'm glad I can share some tips. As long as I've been doing this, I still learn new things and appreciate all who share here. Thanks for watching.
@@askillthatpaysI do ! I genuinely do !!!! I feel so incredibly stupid trying to follow your videos….. I know you are one of the best at throughly explaining how to do the task at hand …. I get mad at myself for not being able to pick it up all right away … I swear I’m over here literally taking notes and watching your videos over and over and over and over again ….😅
Nice simple to the point video and good craftsmanship. We are renovating a manufactured home and have two 8.75" deep door openings on a wall where the different sides of the house were attached together so I will have to make my own frames. Do you have a type of wood to recommend or avoid? Frames will be painted
That's an exciting project. Congrats. Avoid MDF as it's too bouncy. The inexpensive knotty pine is too uneven and hard to finish. For door frames, the best options are "primed finger joint pine." Very clean, straight and 3/4" thick and it comes primed white. Also "select pine." More expensive and unfinished but very clean and straight with no knots. Ideal if you're going to stain or clear coat. If you want to spend some money, Poplar is the least expensive hardwood that's very clean and straight. Those are all typically available in 1x10 which would be 9.5" wide and you''d have to rip it to 8.75. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Great video and explanation. I’m glad I came across your video, as I’m looking to replace my bifold panty doors with a regular door. The outward swing prehung doors are very expensive and I was hoping that I could make the frame out of 1x6 and hung a door. What would be best way to get this done? What hardware would I need? Thank you!
Glad I could help. What you need to do is explained exactly n the video you just commented on, but I've another video here that shows even more. You need jamb stock, 2-3 hinges, lock and stop. Good luck and thanks for watching. ua-cam.com/video/1ZOq7awQi-w/v-deo.html
Great video! I have some solid wood doors I want to reuse and this was really helpful. What was involved in moving the lower hinge out? Did you have to redrill the holes for the hinges in the jamb?
When moving the lower hinge on the jamb, I just take out the screws on the middle hinge, then move the lower hinge just a bit like an 1/8th or 1/4" and simply put the point of the screw in the new location while holding it in place. Once it bites, that enough to hold the new position and test. Thanks for watching.
Tell me about it. I have a box of bandaids in cars, kitchen, gym bag, bathroom and tool box.. Just when everything heals, I get a new one. All good though. The canvas of life. Thanks for watching.
Don't let the jargon get in the way. Turn off the sound and just watch. I really can't explain it any simpler and keep in mind that doors are not simple. To do this sort of work requires a base knowledge of carpentry and some people simply aren't ready. I believe anyone who truly wants to, can learn this. Thanks for watching.
No. Jambs and frames are the same. Casing and trim are the same. A jamb or frame is the typically 3/4" thick material into which the door is installed. The casing or trim is the decorative moulding that goes around the installed jamb. Great question. Thanks for watching.
Great tips and craftsmanship.
That's very kind of you to say. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it
Thanks - keep 'em coming - excellent video content, to the point, easy to follow - you're a you tube star!
And thank YOU for watching.
Man you are a master craftsman! I love your videos as a beginner carpenter. A lot of good tricks that take years to learn.

@@askillthatpays thank you!
Awesome video! Just what i needed. Just curious, what type of limber do yoy use to make the jamb?
I get primed 1x6 pine at depot or Lowes. It's very clean and straight. Thanks for watching.
Thanks!

information rich video. Just moves too fast with terms unfamiliar to a beginner. Make a similar video for beginners.

When you say "jambs" you mean the casing, yay or nay?
