Up here in Minnesota Mike, we have the 48 hr rule on new tool purchases. If she don’t see it within 48 hrs you’ve had it forever. Lol but we also have the three prices you paid, the price you paid, the price you told her you paid, and the price your going to pay when she finds out what you really paid.lol have a great day!
Mike that shooting house, I mean deer blind, dang it, I mean mini cabin is looking fantastic! I built my first one last year and and absolutely enjoy being spoiled in it!
It was completely understandable Melissa, that you were doing a parody on Mike, as your girls made it OBVIOUS you were doing a parody, because they were laughing the whole way through it. I totally agree with you, Mike about using your brush for the stain, and I love that crossbuck door you've made for your shooting cabin. Quit underselling your abilities! No need to feel ANY insecurity about your carpentry skillset, as the cabin project AND your wood shed project both are living proof of your praise-worthy skill! The same holds true about your felling trees! All the observers who are critical need to shut up and sit down! You've always PROVEN how capable you are, so breathe easy knowing your fans love seeing all of your accomplishments! It ain't a board and batten style door ya built.... it's a crossbuck style door. 😀
Mike, you should cut the door in half on the center board to make it a Dutch door , that way you can open the top part to let more air into the cabin on those nice days , BTW , the door looks awesome nice job.
Hi Mike, that door came up really nice, I'm sure you will hang it the correct way round , with the side you just stained being the inside of the door and the top of the top cross brace on the opposite side from the hinges, for support, with door opening out at the mini cabin. Having said all that, I'm sure you have it all planned out in you head anyway. I love your channel, I look forward to your's and Melissa's Off the Leash post every day. cheers Gooday Hunter.
Hi mike enjoy your channel. Im a contractor carpenter for the last 32 years thought I’d give you some tips about the door. From what I saw you never used any glue on the door my suggestion would be any polyurethane base glue it’s awesome for outdoors screws will loosen in the corse of time. Do to moisture and expansion and contraction The other thing is your boards if left at the thickness of 3/4” tend to warp. So when glueing another board to it from the other side stabilize it. This other boards can be glued in diagonal which makes it also look very nice. Cheers. And keep up the good work Dave. Montreal.
Good looking door! Better than anything you could buy and a lot sturdier. With a little common sense and a positive attitude there isn't much you can't do...great job! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One of the first things I ever made was a outside door for my garage. 28yrs later, still hanging tough. Yours will too. I thought Mrs Morgan imitation of you was spot on & hilarious...
Mike, When we made barn doors all that cross bracing, which you did such and excellent job of fitting in place, would be the inside of the door. The smooth side goes on the outside for the best water run off. Also it seems that you haven't tilted your window sills for water run off either. But I do like the colors. Can't wait to see the little wood stove put in.
Two compliments: 1) I love that door!!! 2) Your editing skills are tremendous. I can imagine how long it must take to put one of these videos to bed. Your dedication to making these videos shine is greatly appreciated.
Hi Mike,Melissa love your cabin beautiful door. I drew a picture of your door from the inside so my husband will do that to a storage room he just built two days ago . Blessings
Great job on the door Mike. Best part, Melissa didn't catch you blowing saw dust toward her jeep. Busted, on the new sander. Good distraction Mike.....
Mike that door will fit just fine with the cabin décor. It will sure keep the critters out. Melissa you are doing just fine with your new channel. Do not worry over any negativity just send them to me and I will take care of them.
Mike & Melissa - You're right Mike, she doesn't miss much. Busted again. But hey, every project needs a new tool. That's always been my motto. Love the banter between the two of you, and the impression of Mike you did a number of videos ago was great. Like Bob Purs says below, "Some people are just too uptight." Blessings to you both, and to the family. Hi to the Hunt man. Love that spicy chicken.
nope she didn't miss it loved the response Mike had that for awhile LOL and Melissa most of us loved the skit ignore the haters and take joy in knowing that everytime we hear Welcome Back Mike Here... we will be smiling about your impression of Mike still laughing keep it up love both channels GOD bless
Sorry for clogging up your comments with a second one.. Your sense of humor is great and funny! My family is constantly knocking each other and wouldnt want it any other way. I think some people have no sense of humor and look at my family like we are crazy and mean. We all love each other and just like to keep things fun. And Mike if you are going to buy something new, make sure you hide the packaging and dirty up the tool a little bit. I am famous for buying stuff in the past when my wife is traveling or on vacation with the girls. My best purchases were the suv BMW and the large screen tv. Hard to hide those items!She reminds me everytime she leaves- dont buy anything! Still married after 31 years !!
Mike....Next door, please glue every joint and all contact surfaces with a highly rated indoor/outdoor Glue, water based is fine.....you are doing great on the door...
💥 Melissa didn’t think you could build a door? You mill your own wood, you built the mini cabin, you built the shed..... And you get a “I’m pleasantly surprised!” Put those pool dreams away for a few more years. *Keep on tractoring!* 👍
very nice simple door build . as my dad would say , just enough to keep honest folks out . i'm new to your site . heard you say you were going to grove city on one of your videos . my dad had a place in tionesta . my fondest memeories are my time spent with him building and fixing things . spent many a cold winter sitting in the woods waiting for deer . beautiful country . i grew up in a little town called braddock . i live in california now . ione . lots of land filled with cattle , turkeys and such . keep the journey moving forward . jim 1/5/20
I like the colour of that stain . It look looks like the colour of a gunstock stain . Great job on that door . I'm impressed . Why spend money on a door when you can make a nice door . You saved the money by not buying a door and bought a sander . Smart . It's great when doing projects around the house . It gives you a reason to add to the tool collection .
What a time for a video on making a door, that's my next project for a closet in our basement, I'm going to try put on barn door slider. Thanks John Mangas
Watching you plan, lay-out and build that door. If you never built one. You definitely have had instruction on how to build things. So you can say I am a carpenter along with whatever else you do.
Great looking door. Melissa, don't worry what people say (except your family). That was funny. Mike, I hope you video hanging the door. I have a door I need to replace in my basement. Someone made the old one and it's about 48" wide so I can't go buy one. So your video couldn't have come at a better time.
Mike your door is beautiful! Great job! If you want to insure it stays square and warp free add some exterior carpenters glue to the joints between the cross braces and it will stay straight and square for years!
Wow ,Mike you were busted,she doesn't miss a thing,the door looks great btw.Like I said before build her a she shed and then slip in a table saw.Thanks for another great video.I love you guys humor.
Good morning to the Morgan’s, great video Mike and Melissa. Good looking door 🚪 Mike, you made it look so easy 👍👍. Thanks for sharing with us, always get a kick out of you two and the way you play, you have fun with life and each other’s antics! Fred.
Mike I got such a kick out of your response to Melissa regarding the sander. “I’ve had it for a long time at least a couple hours “ I had to show my wife this clip because I say that same thing to her as well. Love your videos.
Nice door Mike. You might want to put a screen door brace on it tho. Screws will only hold all that weight for so long. You know the one I mean is the long turnbuckle that fits a diagonal. That way you can tighten it up when the door ages. You did a great job with no TABLE SAW , hint hint !
Door looks fantastic! Have to say, I have a full blown wood shop along with CNC Router and there is no way in the world I have enough patience to take on and film all my project. You do exceptionally great work. Shows you are not just a hard working family but you think through things before starting. Keep up the great videos. I know I enjoy watching.
Nice door... Great job..... BTW, yesterday I was spreading a top dressing of top soil on a neighbours lawn with my JD 1025R. Suffice it to say I got the job done but I do not have the 'Mike Morgan Midas Golden Feather Touch' on the loader control =). I had a few piles plop down .... We can't all be great at all things... Michaelfrom Canada
Really talented trim carpenter told me once that the nails in things like this are there to hold it together until the glue dries..... but this door looks awesome!
I am so glad to see you built the door. I was going to suggest you build one and not buy last week but hated to make the suggestion. You did a great job and table saw would not have helped that much. I use my skill saw more than my table saw most of the time. Great video
Could have fooled me,rookie. That is some beautiful craftsmanship, Mike!! It’s all about having the right tools, Melissa. As a cop, I understand good-natured joking, ribbing, and sarcasm. In my circles, it’s called love.
For a first attempt fair play, however if you’re going to screw the joints, glue the stiles and rails. Also one of the braces is the wrong way around, make sure both braces start at the bottom on the hinge side and finish at the top on the latch side, otherwise you’re just adding weight to the door and will sag and bind on the frame. Personally i notch mine into the rails to prevent it forcing off the stiles. You should check out Bradshaw joinery or samurai carpenter they have some good videos on the subject 👍
You say you are not a carpenter, but I reckon you'll do until we find one, as they are really scarce and you would be hard pressed to find one anywhere these days, thumbs up from me Mike...
Nice door Mike - It will be nice to see the door hung and how it holds up to the elements. That said, it wasn’t that long ago when people built everything they needed. Let’s face it, we didn’t always have a Home Depot or Lowe’s within 10 miles where they have everything in stock. I try to refrain from telling TH-cam creators “how to do it” because I might learn a different way. I am not much for finish sanding either. I like what you are doing - until next time - cheers
Love how quickly you changed the subject about the new sander, Mike. That’s a skill I, too, have mastered when it comes tools, chainsaws, guitars, guns, and various other things my wife thinks I have quite enough of. “How many do you need?” “Just one more!”
Up here in Minnesota Mike, we have the 48 hr rule on new tool purchases. If she don’t see it within 48 hrs you’ve had it forever. Lol but we also have the three prices you paid, the price you paid, the price you told her you paid, and the price your going to pay when she finds out what you really paid.lol have a great day!

AWESOME MIKE!! The Door Looks Great!!
Melissa Love The Smile!!👍👊
Mike you are a DIY genius. Extremely
Good looking door! Better than anything you could buy and a lot sturdier. With a little common sense and a positive attitude there isn't much you can't do...great job! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Melissa didn't believe you could do it. I had confidence in you Mike. God bless

Nice door Mike and like how she brought up the sander but also knows the dewalt tools are good purchases
Nice!!!!!!! You two are naturals. I LOVE the humor and light ribbing...
Hi Mike,Melissa love your cabin beautiful door. I drew a picture of your door from the inside so my husband will do that to a storage room he just built two days ago . Blessings
Great job on the door Mike. Best part, Melissa didn't catch you blowing saw dust toward her jeep. Busted, on the new sander. Good distraction Mike.....
Enjoy the humor from both of you, keep it up maybe the restt of the World will relax a little also much needed.
This opens up new doors to the talents of Mike Morgan...way to batten down the hatches...if you never try you,ll never know
Mike that door will fit just fine with the cabin décor. It will sure keep the critters out. Melissa you are doing just fine with your new channel. Do not worry over any negativity just send them to me and I will take care of them.

Me and my Wife enjoy watching your videos it motivated us to try and do more work outside together. Thanks for the good example you all present.
The snarky banter is a great part of the videos! Keep it up!
For a first crack at making the door, you did a very good job mate. Nice sander too.
Good job that door looks really nice and thumbs up Melissa you really don't miss much , great job guys keep up the good work and Hunter , "Have a Day"

Love your videos. Nice door. The only thing I would have done differently is added glue.
💥 Melissa didn’t think you could build a door? You mill your own wood, you built the mini cabin, you built the shed..... And you get a “I’m pleasantly surprised!”
Put those pool dreams away for a few more years.
*Keep on tractoring!* 👍
Wood Glue Bud! Less screwing...lol... And use a straight board, 2 clamps for a fence on your long circular saw cuts. ☺👍

Were still waiting for Mike to do a good impersonation of Melissa ? Two very good channels, thank you Morgan family. Stay safe & healthy.
Hi Mike, Friday AM heavy rain & heavy winds then wth sunny afternoon in Providence 👍🇺🇸
I like the colour of that stain . It look looks like the colour of a gunstock stain . Great job on that door . I'm impressed . Why spend money on a door when you can make a nice door .

Solid door!!!!! Like the tunes ! Some people just are stiff !!! You know what works for you guys !!!! Hello to Hunter !!!
Watching you plan, lay-out
and build that door. If you never built one. You definitely have had instruction on how to build things. So you can say I am a carpenter along with whatever else you do.
Literally "OUTDOORS" With the Morgans.
Great idea on how to make a door. Looks good.
Have a day.
Great looking door. Melissa, don't worry what people say (except your family). That was funny. Mike, I hope you video hanging the door. I have a door I need to replace in my basement. Someone made the old one and it's about 48" wide so I can't go buy one. So your video couldn't have come at a better time.
Well done. I'd be very happy with that, especialy as it was a first timer.
Melissa if you didn't notice, Mike saying If I had a Table Saw ...
That's a hint of the next toy , coming to the Morgan's.
Hope you get your Pool !!
Mario Wickel More toys! Yes! And look at the 20-volt chain saw too!
Mike your door is beautiful! Great job! If you want to insure it stays square and warp free add some exterior carpenters glue to the joints between the cross braces and it will stay straight and square for years!
Beautiful job with the door. Thanks for sharing!
Wow ,Mike you were busted,she doesn't miss a thing,the door looks great btw.Like I said before build her a she shed and then slip in a table saw.Thanks for another great video.I love you guys humor.
Good morning to the Morgan’s, great video Mike and Melissa. Good looking door 🚪 Mike, you made it look so easy 👍👍. Thanks for sharing with us, always get a kick out of you two and the way you play, you have fun with life and each other’s antics! Fred.
Good work !!! You should be proud of your work !!! Screws may be a little close to the edge , but good work !!!
A evening snack watching OUTDOORS WITH THE MORGANS.. stay safe and God bless
That door is awesome. Can`t wait to see it on the cabin.
Don’t worry about the haters Melissa, they are just jealous of the relationship that you and your family have. God bless and keep up the good work.
Mike I got such a kick out of your response to Melissa regarding the sander. “I’ve had it for a long time at least a couple hours “ I had to show my wife this clip because I say that same thing to her as well. Love your videos.
The rough bark slabs trimmed down and mounted vertically on the corners of the cabin. Would give cabin a camouflaged look. Door sure is sturdy.
Nice job on the door. Looks better than anything you would buy at the big box store. Enjoy the humor. The women don't miss much.
mike the door going good good that melissa video doing good hi hunter&all god bless you
Nice door Mike. You might want to put a screen door brace on it tho. Screws will only hold all that weight for so long. You know the one I mean is the long turnbuckle that fits a diagonal. That way you can tighten it up when the door ages. You did a great job with no TABLE SAW , hint hint !

Great job Mike. Have to have the right tools
Mike, You do good work. Very nice Door.!!!!
Door looks great. Glad you thought of building it yourself. Have a great day.
The door is perfect! And I burst out laughing when Melissa discovered the new sander... and Mike’s response was classic! Thanks for all you do guys!
That door is beautiful, and perfect style for the cabin. Great seeing family working together. Great video!
It looks good you did a fine job on the door have a day
Look at that Beautiful Ford Machine Truck in the background!!...nice truck for sure!
Nice work, Mike. That's better looking than any store-bought door.
Nice door... Great job..... BTW, yesterday I was spreading a top dressing of top soil on a neighbours lawn with my JD 1025R. Suffice it to say I got the job done but I do not have the 'Mike Morgan Midas Golden Feather Touch' on the loader control =). I had a few piles plop down .... We can't all be great at all things...

Mike all that matters is that you and Melissa like what you are doing and how you do it,and the rest is just noise and wind.
Really talented trim carpenter told me once that the nails in things like this are there to hold it together until the glue dries..... but this door looks awesome!
Better than a store bought door...GUARANTEED ! Matches the structure. Great price point also.👍💯🇺🇸
I am so glad to see you built the door. I was going to suggest you build one and not buy last week but hated to make the suggestion. You did a great job and table saw would not have helped that much. I use my skill saw more than my table saw most of the time. Great video
Wow Mike, I don't think you could buy a door that looks any better than that. Like it a lot.
Thanks so much
Could have fooled me,rookie. That is some beautiful craftsmanship, Mike!! It’s all about having the right tools, Melissa. As a cop, I understand good-natured joking, ribbing, and sarcasm. In my circles, it’s called love.
It's a good looking door
One major challenge to making a door like this is to make it on a flat surface so it doesn't have a twist . Looks great , nice work .
Melissa your sense of humor cracks me up! Who wouldn't like it reminds me of my family😁 Mike the door looks good
Nice diversion at 18:52, Mike
Never sell yourself short, Mike! Everything you have ever built has been exceptional!!!👏👏👏
Door looks good Mike! and Melissa!! Yee of little faith girl!
I would suggest a battery powered power sprayer but I figured you enjoyed doing it by hand in such a beautiful setting.
Great job with the door, Mike! Enjoy the weekend. It’s gonna be beautiful in Western PA.
It's now May. Anxiously awaiting the new tractor announcement. As always God Bless your family.
For a first attempt fair play, however if you’re going to screw the joints, glue the stiles and rails.

You were right! She knew that sander was new in a heartbeat. Sharp girl!
looks pretty good for a first time
LOL she doesn't miss much, way to change the subject Mike ….." Look at this piece of wood , its all jacked up".... lol to funny . The door looks great
Nice sander Mike. Door turned out great
Nice door Mike - It will be nice to see the door hung and how it holds up to the elements. That said, it wasn’t that long ago when people built everything they needed.

Door looks great. I'm building something similar for my chicken coop run. I still love the Jeep. My favorite color!
Nice looking door. You never forget your first time Mike
Easy now....lol
How do you guys do it all? I’m starting a new channel and it’s about what I do everyday but it still takes a lot of time. You have a great channel!!
Nice to hear a Melissa compliment Mike on his door project.
Love how quickly you changed the subject about the new sander, Mike. That’s a skill I, too, have mastered when it comes tools, chainsaws, guitars, guns, and various other things my wife thinks I have quite enough of. “How many do you need?” “Just one more!”
Good looking door.
Those diagonal pieces - cross bracing, are nice and tight!
I dont think I saw a handclap though.
...
o . highlite mr ty . great little man . very fine door . thanks for sharing
Nice looking door, Mike. Not bad for a first try.
Don't worry about the "haters" and other crabby people. It's what families do. . .that's one thing that helps families bond.
Nice job Mike! Your new sander was discovered in record time !
Door turned out great
