    • How To Install A Door ...
    I have seven of these to make for the main floor of my house. While money can be saved by making these yourself, there is a lot of work involved, so you should consider that before taking it on. My reasons for doing this are mainly because I'll end up with doors that are much better quality than the typical hollow core doors you get from the retailers. Also, I have the freedom to make them exactly how I want, as plain or as fancy as needed to match the decor.

    As videos go this on sits at the top: no BS, no fluff, no waste of time with stupid sxxt intros, it's right down to the matter, which is what viewers spending lots of time in youtube looking for info on fixing their cars or making a door... are looking for. It's not rocket science but it is not a common practice either. Secondly, this straightforward tutorial gave me an idea I didn't have to skip the pricey manufactured MDF interior doors in the style that I love, Shaker. Thank you!

    After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

    I remembered this vid from a year ago or so and came back to it. This will stay relevant for indefinetly particularly as the prices of door keeps going up to the moon and yet one can make it easily with ply thanks to this excellent video. Thanks a lot!

    Hey John thanks so much for this video! I just completed mine and it turned out just as you built it. The only thing I did differently was to use Birch plywood to the customer's request. It was so easy to construct just as you showed in your video

    I love this.. I bought an old home (built in the 1930s) that has seen some renovations that left me with a bunch of awful cardboard torsion box style interior doors, until I saw this I had resigned myself to either paying out the nose for solid wood doors new, or to spending every free moment out trying to source appropriately sized antique doors... After watching this two weeks back I am already three of five doors in, and my technique has improved with each one. Thanks!

      @Don Perkins The first one did, because I didnt have a truly flat assembly area. However, you know what makes a perfectly flat assembly area for doors? Two of the crappy doors I was replacing, put one on the sawhorses and glued the other one to it, head to foot, every door after that has come out perfect.

    I read that you made all the door's for your home and it took some time and energy but their not crappy door's. Their Beautiful door's you should be proud to say, I made these door's. I wish I had half the talent that you have in wood working. I have a little bit and can do some of what you are doing but not all , so my hats off to you good Sir. Thank you for sharing your Knowledge with us.

    My Dad was a builder, and made doors, especially one for a school tuck shop. But he didn't just use wood or plywood; he put in a steel panel. Made them much more robust. Even resists a fencepost used as a battering ram.

    You can actually make a "real" door with ply by laminating it to make stiles and rails with a tongue and groove, also with a true centre panel that fits perfectly - I've made shaker style kitchen doors with ply and it works great.

    @kenmcdonald8090 6 років тому

    I've built many applique type doors over the years. For interior doors I use MDF, it lays really flat and mills easily. It doesn't have a ply core to cover with trim or edge banding. I do recommend sanding down the cut edges of MDF before painting to achieve a smooth finish. For exterior doors never use MDF, instead MDO works quite well but you will need to treat the plywood core with some type of edging material. The next time I build an exterior door of MDO, I do plan to experiment with an epoxy type paint to treat the core. If someone has tried this before please let us know how it worked out for you, I'm very interested.

    • @nielssamuels5465
      @nielssamuels5465 6 років тому

      Hi Ken, do you think I can make the same door the same way John is doig here but use MDF? Doesn't the mdf need some sort of solid wood trim for the lock and the hinges to go on? Or is MDF strong enough by itself? Hope you can answer. Thanks in advance,
