hey guys what's going on I'm Joe Malecki
and in this video I'm gonna show you how I built these doors these doors are
completely solid wood construction I use dominoes instead of mortise and Tenon's
and I've got a super easy way to inset that glass panel check it out so now
that we got a wall we've got a doorway we've got this pretty bar wood on the
outside we need to make some doors about three years ago a buddy of mine gave me
some wood and it's finally dry so so this from looking at it and from what he
said we're probably looking at a little bit of oak a little bit of Hickory if
they're oak that be sweet so we're gonna plan this all down to the same thickness
and then I'll pick the parts I'm gonna use for the door out from it and having
it all plain won't hurt either for putting it back in storage if I don't
use it so get it all done one so I'm going to lay out the wood now
that it's kind of skip playing and rough cut so I can look at it see what the
grain is and then choose what parts I want to use for what on the door it's
all this all white up which is pretty sweet so we're gonna take the twist out hello I'm John Malecki if you're liking this
content subscribe and hit that Bell icon but if you're curious on why I'm
jointing these boards we cut these a couple days ago and after we got them
out of the long board a few of them actually acclimated to the temperature
in the shop and twisted slightly so I'm gonna rejoin them reface them and then
we'll rip them and plane them down to final dimensions and they should be good
to go from there be careful when you're mixing pigment in
to epoxy if you're using a liquid pigment add a little bit more hardener in
there because it will dilute the mixture this one needs a little bit I think an
actually get that done with sanding all right so mock-up some doors what we got
to do is cut these down to width first and we've already got the table saw
ready to rock and roll so I don't have to cut these door parts
and these styles over here to length because the whole door is gonna get
trimmed down once it's all glued up with a straight edge so pretty much here I'm
just gonna mark it lay it out long and we'll do one cut with the track saw to
get the door down the size but essentially you can kind of see like we
got a door kind of what our door will look like I like it I think that I was
worrying where we're gonna have to stain it because of the Hickory but I think
it's so subtle that like it actually looks pretty damn good I'm only gluing these up to make it a
little bit easier I know that these all of these should be tight so a bit of a hiccup here this board had
some tension in it and I thought it might come out when I added the rails
across but it didn't so you can see that there's almost a quarter inch of a bow
across this surface of the door it's bringing this side out now that I have
it mocked up and it's taking it out of flat so I'm gonna have to resaw another
piece all I've got left though is Hickory so I'm gonna square that piece
down and we'll recut this style it's a shame it sucks but this is part of life
it should still kind of match because I have those two pieces of Hickory in the
center door and then I'll use this as the hinge side on the far side sometimes
you got to make a lemonade when life gives you
pineapple huh so it couldn't get the Hickory to the thickness I needed it so
we're gonna have to mill another piece for this style I've got these old beams
I'm pretty sure they're white oak or chestnut whatever
let's get these milled up doors are dry we're going to build the
jamb now we have to do a custom Jamb for our custom opening because this is a
custom woodshop i'll do four or five really light
coats I already have three on here just for shrinkage purposes we
pre-finish to those if you guys paying attention
that's why that'll expand and contract and when it does that if you don't pre
finish them it's gonna leave a gap on the outside when they shrink that
doesn't look finished we just really didn't look there
so for these doors I'm using general finish's enduro var its bar none my
favorite finish for reclaim – reclaimed rustic style furniture you get a great
high build out of it kind of concept super durable has a little bit of an
amber through it and it's not just a full oil-based finish so it spreads on
really smooth I'm a big fan if you guys are interested I got a link down in the
description for you thank you guys so much for checking out
this build these things turned out absolutely insane and if you want to see
another one of my custom projects like this I got a video queued up for you
right here I also want to thank my sponsor on this build Timberland pro
Timberland pro is my go-to workwear apparel company i got a link down in the
description if you want to see more from them
and lastly thank you so much for tuning in go punch your next project in the
face and i'll see you in the next video
