The Best Price on Barn Door Hardware I have found: http://amzn.to/2zrMFHw
Barn Doors are very popular right now. On my last remodel we installed 6 Barn Doors throughout the house. Finding Barn Doors in the style we needed, in the custom sizes we needed, for a reasonable price was very difficult. I figured out a way to make a beautiful yet inexpensive barn style door using readily available pine lumber from the box stores. Doing so you’ll save HUNDREDS of Dollars doing it yourself. This is a super easy beginner level project.

nice video, but one question. Could the glue that you are applying to your tongue and grove swell and warp that door. I don’t know that is why I am asking this question.
Thank you for the ideas! Very simple and good looking.
Did this warp at all eventually? Looking to do something similar
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have watched multiple videos trying to learn how to do this and you are the FIRST person who showed how to measure the mitre angles for the cross brace!!!
I did it myself. I used Woodglut woodworking plans for this.
awesome instructions and beautiful door, thanks!
Thank you! This was an enjoyable and satisfying project for me and I have next to no carpentry experience!
Shouldn’t glue T&G boards. They need to be allowed to expand/contract with humidity and temperature changes, even if they’re inside doors.
Knock KNOCK
what size Brad NAILS ???
16g or 18 G
also What Length ?
What size rail do I need for a 42" door? Thanks so much for your video!
I have tried to cut a Z brace for over two years with a miter saw and have not been able to figure it out to save my soul lol. Not can anyone else on the internet explain how to cut it except YOU! Finally someone can & does explain exactly how to get that perfect Z brace. Thanks so much for your help. Great video!!
Of course we are not bad guys. 🙂
Good job and look out for the bad guys lol.
Woodglut plans are amazing!
Beaudie!! Thanks

Its a Stable door.
Thank you for your video. Your son is just too adorable!!
Why rip the wood. Why didn’t you just use 1×4?
How does the wood have the grooves at the beginning when you are gluing them? Is it purchased this way or something you did to the wood? Also do you have any videos on an X design?
This guy needs to read a book on wood movement. Don’t build your barn doors this way. They will not last.
U make this look easy, now I will have to try this and c if I can make something look amazing for my wife.
Why on earth did you glue the T&G boards together and more importantly, why did you glue the horizontal braces to the T&G boards?
It’s only a small door so you may get away with it but on a full size door it would not last a year before it buckled out of shape and split the wood.
merci, pour les informations
I gave this guy a thumbs up, even though Kalergian.
My mind is blown away by ‘mini-things.’ I can’t believe I never thought of that incredibly simple how-to trick. Thank you!!!
I’m trying to build an outdoor shed door that looks like barn door. What’s best approach, 3/4 plywood with trim or tongue and groove planks glued with trim to hold in place? Would be hinged and have to survive winters. Great video!!
That little boy is so adorable! His little voice!!🥰
Interesting and helpful. thanks.
I started with Woodglut plans.
Why are you calling this a barn door__?? A barn door is a barn door—- what you’ve built aint.
Interested to know how this held up. Typically it is not a good idea to completely glue across crossing grain like you did on the horizontal pieces. The vertical and horizontal pieces expand and contract in different directions and this can break the glue joint.
I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
I’m thinking you could easily adapt this into headboard/foot-board for beds. The "door" look for them is pretty popular right now. I’m thinking about making us a headboard similar to these barn doors turned horizontal for our king bed.
Followed this design but with a larger door and even though it was kiln dried wood once winter set in it bowed. Have been told that you do not want to glue down a board with grain perpendicular to the panel. Once things warm up around here I will try again.
I’m sure you will find amazing woodworking plans on the Stodoys website.
Seriously, Recreational Woodworker needs to take down this video before it continues to cause people to build doors that warp. You DO NOT want to glue and clamp the tongue and groove and follow it by gluing and screwing the frame horizontal to it. This method caused me to create a couple barn doors that come winter bowed so much they barely could function. I am betting even his half-door here became a disappointment to his client.
My man! This video should have 1,000,000 likes. This is exactly what I needed. I’m a beginner DIY and wood worker and I feel fully prepared to do this now! Thank you!
Hello
I’d like to know if you’re close to NYC.
Love for you to make us 4 pocket doors in the style of a Barn Door.
Hoping you’re close 🙂
Thank you.
