“I don’t even exercise”. Fantastic. Quote from an amazing human in a wonderful film!

Made 2 barn doors using your construction technique. It worked great. Love the pocket screw construction. That and some glue makes a tight indestructible joint. Hardest part is finding enough straight and halfway true lumber. Thanks for the video.

I am an eighteen year old in college far from ever buying a house or owning any of these tools. Why am I watching this? Who knows, but man this was so pleasant to watch and I loved the little part with the "project manager" hahaha. I'm subscribed, can't wait to watch your other videos!

“I’m incapable of making a straight cut...” . Such honesty is refreshing!

Just wanted to say thinks for making this video. I was able to build a custom door for our laundry room that my wife and friends loved. I am now building a larger one that's 10' wife by 7' tall with this game design. The first was awesome!

You made it look so “simple”. I loved it!. Beautiful door. I am very impressed with your design and craftmanship..

[johnnyfox]

Looks great..
Did you say your miter saw wouldn't cut that angle?

Awesome build and design! A bard door, 36w X 84h is $526 at Home Depot. Thanks to you two, I will build my own now. Thank you for this great video! Cheers from Michigan!

Just showed your door to the wife. She suggested i router out an oval recess to serve as a handle on ours. Thanks for the great video.

Great looking door, can you tell me what program you were using on the computer in the beginning of this video?

I was mostly done before I looked at your Video. Door was already made from Pallet wood I did it myself, as well as hung rail on my own WHAT A CHORE!!! However on the hanging of door I wasn't sure of specs for rollers and floor guide. You answered those questions for me Thank you...

Beautiful door. I am very impressed with your design and craftmanship.

Great build. Gives me ideas for two 8’ tall 50” wide doors for a 8’ opening.

turned out amazing !! I have been looking into a set for the house I bought !! The living room and dining room are connected and basically open, currently with really ugly and out of date wood work that has began to chip. But there was no way I way paying 700+ for a pair of doors ! I am going to do them myself now, thanks for the great idea !

[timdales]

Thanks Rick! This was helpful! Got mine built and up, just need to poly it. All the best!

[BruceAUlrich]

Turned out great! I built a sliding door a few years back, and I added a round, pocket door pull to the back side. It is a nice solution for something to grab onto to open it from the other side, without worrying about it hitting the door facing.

Things moved fast, did you only glue and staple? I am not sure that holds enough, I glue and screw. My son says I dont need to screw, just glue and staple...what is best?
Thank you
Paul

Great Job!! What is the measurement for the door

[jeliarra]

Bested by a lid =p Love these doors, so much better than swing doors for various reasons in my experience. One can't lets say put a plant behind a swing door and see the plant of the door is open. One could put a dresser or some other furniture in front of a swing door, etc. Thank you so much for sharing!
