    Are those inlays not supposed to float due to expansion and not be glued and screwed? How should they move then?

  2. Neil Rafferty on November 17, 2023 at 10:27 pm

    Truly something to behold even if the final resting place was somewhat underwhelming !

  3. Jonathan Mangold on November 17, 2023 at 10:29 pm

    Is there a reason you didn’t use the dedicated mortiser to prep the haunches instead of chiseling by hand.? Looks like you could have set it to go only a half inch deep.

  4. KLAUS MAARTENS on November 17, 2023 at 10:31 pm

    Thank you! Excellent work! I would make a similar design with a 6mm steel backing and a 6mm steel frame covered with oak. Why? because nobody knows who will be knocking at your door.

  5. stephen watson on November 17, 2023 at 10:31 pm

    May I ask, why did you cut the mortises for the haunches by hand and not with the Mortiser? Really enjoyed the video, and the craftsmanship.

  6. Roger Dudra on November 17, 2023 at 10:32 pm

    Very ample door. Nice job.

  7. Dave hageman on November 17, 2023 at 10:33 pm

    Great workmanship, beautiful door. Little concerned about the end grain on the bottom though.

  8. Roger Dudra on November 17, 2023 at 10:33 pm

    I used two penny British coins to space out my display case back.

  9. STIGGY WATTS on November 17, 2023 at 10:34 pm

    Nice job, but if you were to follow the original pattern the bottom rail would be set up an inch from the bottom of the door 🙂

  10. ntmzaba Basheer on November 17, 2023 at 10:35 pm

    Your earned a like and suscribe mate, how could I not?
    Very satisfying, mesmerising and great video! In terms of Skills and attention to details I have nothing to say, just flawless. Bravo bravo 👏

  12. Charley Ferrer on November 17, 2023 at 10:37 pm

    Might have been better to rebate the door case into the structure for greater weather protection ,beautiful craftsmanship
    Thanks for sharing your huge range of skills

  13. Peter Chadburn on November 17, 2023 at 10:37 pm

    Great video, why did you use a chisel to cut the haunch when you have a morticer?

  14. Tom on November 17, 2023 at 10:38 pm

    Top work.
    Why do you chisel your haunches rather than just setting the depth on the mortiser? Also Why is your chisel opening on the mortiser facing sideways? I was taught this was to face forwards. Not critising just asking in case you know somthing I dont

  15. Gordon Hughes on November 17, 2023 at 10:38 pm

    Please use push stick when ripsawing I worked as a cabinet maker iknow these things

  16. Andrew Roberts on November 17, 2023 at 10:38 pm

    You have become the only "youtube" channel I watch. For me, it’s seeing the high quality finishes, knowing that things are getting done thoroughly and I can’t look to your videos for guidance.

    Keep up the great work pal 👍🏼

  17. Torbjörn Larsson on November 17, 2023 at 10:39 pm

    Superb…

  18. Peter Connell on November 17, 2023 at 10:39 pm

    Love your projects great skill as they say every day is a school day 👍

  19. David Merida on November 17, 2023 at 10:40 pm

    Does sanding wood make it smooth?

  20. greenola on November 17, 2023 at 10:40 pm

    Amazing every time.

  21. LR Disco on November 17, 2023 at 10:41 pm

    Coping saws hate me, don’t know why.

  22. Bob Vincent on November 17, 2023 at 10:42 pm

    Thanks. It took me back to my mortice & tennon school days.

  23. N Ber on November 17, 2023 at 10:42 pm

    Can anyone fill me in on the brand/model of 3 point lock that’s used in the video. Literally building now and really want to do things right…

  24. Stacy Edwards on November 17, 2023 at 10:43 pm

    Amazing door, but on a block shed? Guess we’ll habe to wait and see the finihed project

  25. tjcarducci on November 17, 2023 at 10:45 pm

    First off, I hate this guy…LOL!!! I’ve watched a whole lot of his videos, and come to the realization, he is one skilled man, no, a freakin’ MASTER. Doesn’t matter; wood, metal fabrication, welding, plasma cutting, electrical, plumbing, pneumatics, CNC cutting, and god knows what else, he is the consummate "JACK." What I especially like is that he doesn’t same a damn word, unlike so many of the other guys who just force you to fast forward thru the video because they can’t shut their mouths, Russ just illustrates and amazes.

  26. Hu Ko on November 17, 2023 at 10:46 pm

    Sehr gute Arbeit, wie immer. 🤙🤙🤙🇩🇪

  27. D B on November 17, 2023 at 10:47 pm

    What a lovely door! It looked so strange filled with holes(!)

  28. bobbg on November 17, 2023 at 10:48 pm

    Knock yourself silly trying to bust that door in you get past the cinder block wall faster.

    Ok you can look at that house barn tool shed or whatever it is. But im certain they spent that much on the door. The walls wont look like they do now.

  29. Peter Dawes on November 17, 2023 at 10:51 pm

    Another fantastic job. Hope they weren’t Screwfix stainless steel screws which are made from Chinesium fudge.

  30. Paul Anderson on November 17, 2023 at 10:52 pm

    Great craftsman at work. I hate to know the price for that door, but it would be worth every penny.

  31. Paul on November 17, 2023 at 10:54 pm

    Excellent workmanship as usual but couldn’t help noticing that the braces were back to front. The bottom of the brace is supposed to be on the hinge side rising up so that the top of the brace is on the handle/lock side, this is to support the door and stop sagging over time.

  32. Cerceify on November 17, 2023 at 10:55 pm

    This is wonderful. Good and strong and beautiful. Gives me an idea for just a common barn door I can make and use your skills to know how to make it strong! Unfortunately my University shop instructor fiance died! He was going to at least buy me a door! good breeze in Florida down the aisle!

  33. Colin Brooks on November 17, 2023 at 10:56 pm

    Oh, I haven’t seen that tool for many years

  34. Utube 1 on November 17, 2023 at 10:56 pm

    All the work and effort you have put into that and then you go and install it BARE what are you thinking? Why haven’t you coated it? Worse still why haven’t you coated it before assemble? Had this been done in our workshop the door would have gone into the spray shop prior to the boards been fitted to get stained and first coat of exterior grade lacquer paying particular attention to the end grain, the same treatment for the T&G boards both sides, ends, tounge. The frame could have been taken to a finish with 3 coats, again using end grain sealer on the end grain paying special to the end grain of the jambs as these will take up water like a sponge. Then once assembled the door goes back to the spray shop for finishing. The assembly process is slightly different of course because now your working on coated timber but at least the the timber is fully sealed against the elements. Has it gone black yet due to the tannins?

  35. Shannon Hultz on November 17, 2023 at 10:57 pm

    Anyone care to venture a cost for this door with frame and the hardware?

  36. Waterboy899 on November 17, 2023 at 10:57 pm

    Has it been painted yet?

  37. Terry Stephens on November 17, 2023 at 10:59 pm

    This chap is a craftsman, his work is of an excellent standard.😁👌👌👏👏❤️❤️

  38. Kren Wregget on November 17, 2023 at 11:03 pm

    Excellent job. Cheers from a fellow joiner/cabinetmaker in BC, Canada.

    How can I make a cheap bed frame?

  40. Giuseppe Bevilacqua on November 17, 2023 at 11:04 pm

    There’s nothing better than a wood blend in the morning…Nice job anyway…

  41. Jagdish Prasad Khaitan on November 17, 2023 at 11:06 pm

    Wow you have made superb door finish.

  42. Glyn Tutt on November 17, 2023 at 11:08 pm

    Ledges and Braced…… but not traditional at all.

  43. Nemo D333 on November 17, 2023 at 11:09 pm

    Oh, I hate that honey glue. It always finds its way on my hands.

  44. Jason Thompson on November 17, 2023 at 11:13 pm

    Must be very expensive

  45. Jay on November 17, 2023 at 11:13 pm

    I made one of these but it was wider as it was one of two swinging garage doors to replace the original 1930’s door that rotted. Because of the door width and it’s weight, the points didn’t hold up due to the diagonal torsion. It didn’t have your zig zag zig diagonal bracing thought. Just one long diagonal zig brace. I was bummed out.

  46. Richard Baker on November 17, 2023 at 11:17 pm

    Very nice, I didn’t know about that style of door!

  47. Sean Pope Coffey on November 17, 2023 at 11:18 pm

    What is this jig you have which slides and clamps on your mortiser? I have a Delta and am struggling with the length of storm sash stiles.

  50. Nigel Ogden on November 17, 2023 at 11:21 pm

    You need to learn how to use a circular saw and a bandsaw legally! Never stick boarding in to a door and never screw through the door frame. Definitely not a good job, have you had any training???
