Building a custom threshold from my dining room to bathroom

Very nice video. Great photography, clear directions. Thanks

As a Brit, I'm always in awe of how young American dudes always just seem to have the money and space for their own workshop with tons of power tools like table saws and I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to do the same jobs with my tiny cupboard of manual hand tools 😄

Beautiful informative video. Home Depot wants $20 for a generic 3' long transition strip you can custom make yourself. Generic wont be ideal for your own application which requires modification cuts for that perfect fit. Thanks Kraftmade for an excellent video. Keep-up the great work !!

Great job. My only add would be to angle the edge on the hardwood floor side. Right now you will stub your toe on it.

That's cool for people that have the equipment, I would definitely make my own too ✌🏿

[scatarie]

Excellent presentation and very clear directions. Thank you

Much better option compare to cardboard or laminate transition moldings that some stores offer that can cost between $25-35 per piece. They are standard in size and can easily break.

I love how fast you move it along. Some of these videos have way too much chatter. Thank you

[spenceresidential]

great that you recognized that a chamfer edge would helped eliminate a tripper but Why would you not just undercut the door stop instead of notching the threshold. IMO would have been a much cleaner installation. But very good illustration in its own right.

I am surprised with all of your skills, you did not cut the door frame and you did not shape the edges. A portable router does this job with amazing results. Great job either way. I will be making several of these for 2 custom reno jobs.

Good video, but I think undercutting door trim would’ve been a better choice. Cleaner look.

Thanks for sharing. That's a great job...

Looks easy but how do I get a table saw like yours?

[LORENAMONGE]

I saw you bend the tape to measure the threshold and remembered the old days (1 month ago) when I didn't know to use the body of it to get an accurate reading. Thanks to SEEJANEDRILL, here on YouTube, I learned that measuring tapes have the exact size of the length of the body printed on them (usually bottom back), so one can include it when taking inside measurements -such as this one or inside windows, etc. Just make sure the slide-thingy on the end is not extended, because it's 1/16th of an inch, which you need when making outside measurements (as when you use it to hold on to an edge and pull on it.
Why can't I just say "nice vid, thanks!"? Ugh, I'm such a mom!

Great video and you just earned yourself a new subscriber

[kevinpillsbury]

Good job. What would you use tho chamfer the edges? I have a few transition strips that I’m going to do on a rental

[tristanuaceithearnaigh]

I would have put a silicone/waterproof glue under the bathroom side of the threshold piece of wood to repel water/puddles from the bathroom.

[dayjackie]

Hi. What kind of table saw do you use? I'm in the market for one for doing cuts exactly like you show in this video! Thanks!

When installing a floating floor, do you glue and then nail the reducer molding, or should glue be enough? I have a 1/4" expansion gap all the way around.

Nice job... I wonder when you notched the saddle to fit with the jig saw, why you did not follow the angle of the stop? The saddle has a 90 degree square notch cut against an angled stop creating a gap.
