Being a woodworker for nearly 50 years, I think you're an inspiration to a younger generation. I appreciate your honesty, leaving your 'mistakes' in the video. Part of the joy of our craft is learning while we build. I remember my early years when all I owned were hand tools. Nice job little Lady!
Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you to say. You are definitely right…the best part of woodworking is learning something new with every project…even if the lesson comes from a screw up. I appreciate you watching my video!
The fact that you didn't edit out the mishap with the measurements is good. I honestly like the door as is as well. But most importantly I think it's pretty cool that you can make things like you do. You're so talented.
As usual, I love the black and natural wood tone. I vote leave it as is. A similar project is on my to do list for our laundry room. Very clean and functional! I would give it more likes if I could.
Just want you to know you’ve gained a SUPER FAN!!! Literally binge watching you!!! I want to start wood work but have no idea where to begin! This page is awesome!!
I so appreciate that and am glad to hear you find the videos helpful! I've got some resources you might find helpful in getting started here: www.woodshopdiaries.com/getting-started/
Haha I’m glad you agree 😂 I didn’t want to be over dramatic! I’m so glad I don’t have to walk around and through that old door anymore 🙌🤣 it’s the little things
Awesome looking door, I put up a barn door for someone and had a terrible time installing it! Whoever put the header in the opening to the house forgot a few studs, I did not like using wall anchors, but had no choice, after that, I'll make the door for people but sure will not install one ever again. Well unless it's my own door. Great job!!
That looks amazing! Part of me wishes I had a spot I could out something like that, part of me is glad my space is open enough I don't need one...lol. I just really, really want to build something like that though!!!
Haha pros and cons 😂 maybe you can incorporate something similar on a smaller scale on a piece of furniture or cabinet somehow instead of a whole door 😉🙌
I love it. When the shop is finally built, this will be my first project. She's already had me remove her bathroom door. I have the other bathroom. Don't ask.
Awesome! 😂 hey, I won’t ask any questions. I totally get it…we’ve removed SO many doors in our past houses. Bathrooms, closets, laundry rooms, offices. It’s your house…if you don’t want a door somewhere, I say get rid of it! 🙌😂😂
This door is fantastic. It completely changes the look of that area of your home and I'm sure that the practicality of a sliding vs a swinging door is going to be a constant plus for you as you come and go through the front door and the laundry room door. You did an excellent job on this build. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Thank you so much! It’s definitely a lot less annoying walking through this doorway to put clothes in the washer every day 😂 I like that it’s a “focal point” in here now and can’t wait to build out the rest of the space over time. Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate it!
really cool process, I was looking for a video that does not require 25 expensive wood machines and japanese carpentry skills. that is accessible and practice, and beautiful door
I really would have thought that would have been harder. You do a great job at breaking down projects and doing them in a way that look great butnis easy to follow
awesome. you make it look easy! i hope you keep the door natural, but in any case, congrats on getting rid of something you hate! the struggle is real. :) rock on and on!
@@WoodshopDiaries I don't know why they aren't more common either. I made a wine / coffee cabinet and used the sliding door look too. I never did anything like that, so I was way out of my wheel house but it came out great ... heavy but great
When I didn't see a video last week I knew you were up to something special. You didn't disappoint! The door looks great and you've left us with great expectations of future projects to come. Its warmed up here enough that I've been able to channel some of that energy and motivation you've imparted to my own little projects out in the garage. Thanks for Sharing!
you're amazing the fact that you can do it with finnese you can outdo many carpenters specially working w it alone, my suggestion is, looks better to let the natural beauty of the wood that way, God Bless you more!!....fr Philippines👍👍👍
Wow congratulations madam host ... very great job ...you are hard working...iLike job same jobs ...but your material is very good and equipment and tools is very modern... thanks for sharing... sending love and full support madam host...
thank you for the video. exactly what I was looking for. I really loved your choice of black stain for wood planks to hold glass in place. in my opinion, it made the door look very nice and kinda expensive. thank you for sharing.
The kit I used is designed for 1 3/8” - 1 3/4” thick door. So if you can find a kit (or make your own) that works for 3/4”, sure. But you can’t use 1/2” dowels or they’ll stick out the front and back when you glue them on
Hey, nice job! That really looks great! I like the idea of the frosted windows it looks really sharp. Thanks for sharing this project you did a great job. PS..I like the look of the black outline. It just adds a little something.
Thanks so much!! I think the more I look at it, the more the color is growing on me. Once the whole hallway gets finished, I think I’ll be glad I went with my gut and left it natural with the black trim…I hope ha.
That looks good! I like the black trim, but it depends on what you do in other places. This putting in glass/acrylic example came at a perfect time for me. I saw a broken door on one of those free libraries we have around town and thought I can fix that! Now I will and can so thank you!
That’s awesome! So glad this gave you some ideas. That’s so kind of you to fix that for the community to continue using it. Thanks so much for watching!
I agree - hate doors too! First thing I did when I moved in was remove all the doors. Had to put them back when my parents came to visit, but aside from the one bathroom door which isn't [yet] a slider, I took 'em all off the hinges.
So glad you enjoyed it! Sliding doors just make sense for small spaces 🙌 I feel like they should be more common in laundry rooms and bathrooms ha. But what do I know 😂
Nooooo don't paint it... It looks amazing!! I love the look & contrast between the lumbers natural tone with the hint of ebony stain 😍♥️. Also, if you have no frosted spray, you could always sand both front and back of the plexiglass. It worked great for when I tried this method. I believe I used 180grit. I wouldn't use a smaller grit. That square dowel "trick" instead of routing the rabbet is great 👌🏻. Love your videos. Keep them coming
Found your channel today, its amazing. An a total noob in woodworking, but going to give it a go. I wanted to these doors for my new house, now going to make them myself 😁
I love it!! Using pine in that area looks great. Natural wood color gives that space warmth. I also really like that simplicity of the door. Maybe you could leave one side natural and paint the other side a color and you could change it up every now and then. 🤷🏼♀️ Great work...as always!
Thanks so much for watching!! Every time I walk by this door, I like it a little more. I think I’ll leave it for now and move onto the next project, but may eventually come back to it. The idea for painting one side and leaving the other is great! I may have to try that 😊
Haha that was Lucy! She hangs out with me in my shop (along with the cats) when it’s not too cold (or too hot) out there. She’s good company and a good guard dog haha. Thanks so much for watching!
I hope you don’t change the colour as that is what drew me in to watch this video!! The fact that the door was so original and modern is a 👍🏻 from me 👏
Bitch'in job!!! I installed a bifold (closet) door as the door to my bedroom as a "quick-for-now-fix", because furniture placement made a normal door unusable...that quick fix was 9 years ago...you've inspired an upgrade!!!
Thanks so much! So glad to hear this inspired you to tackle another project on your closet-sometimes those for now fixes aren’t as “temporary” as we’d like 😅 I totally get that. Happy building and thanks for watching!
Great work Shara!! I love the natural wood and black trim together looks very elegant. Well done keep up the awesome work and looking forward to the next project. 👌
Nice build. Prehaps tongue and groove to attach your rails and you could have used one of the grooves to retain your glass panels. Even planning the rails with a groove to retain the glass. just some foodf for thought. again a very nice build.
Nice job Shara, I have two of these to install in my lower level remodel and was going to buy the doors but after watching your video I'm going to make them myself. I like your design and the dark square dowells look great. Thanks for the great idea and for sharing with us.

I like the black trim around the windows!! it gives the door a great look!!
Thanks so much!!
This door looks SO GOOD. 😍
Thanks so much Sam!! 💕💕

What a difference a door makes! Looks fab! Love the black trim around the Plexi! Great job!

I love the natural wood with black trim. I hope you keep it that way!
Thanks so much!! I like it more every time I walk by it…I think I’ll leave it at least for a While!
Wow done install sliding door very easy to open ... Congrats madam host done project
I LOVE that hatred of your door! The new one is gorgeous. Undiluted disgust of the old door was well justified. 😂
Haha I’m glad you agree 😂 I didn’t want to be over dramatic! I’m so glad I don’t have to walk around and through that old door anymore 🙌🤣 it’s the little things
totally get it ..removed 8 useless stinking doors from our house
I like d this door so much , very unique very elegant . Congratulations 👏

Very convenient, the door will make traveling more convenient!
Love this door!! I think the natural wood and black accent looks great! You should leave it!
Thank you so much!! I’m definitely leaving it for a while at least-the more I walk by it, the more I love it 😍
That looks amazing! Part of me wishes I had a spot I could out something like that, part of me is glad my space is open enough I don't need one...lol.
I just really, really want to build something like that though!!!
Haha pros and cons 😂 maybe you can incorporate something similar on a smaller scale on a piece of furniture or cabinet somehow instead of a whole door 😉🙌
Wow, that looks great! And you drilled those dowel holes free hand, without a jig...you're braver than I am.
Thumbs up and thanks for posting!
Haha they definitely weren’t straight…but they were close enough 😅 thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed the project!
Holy moly! Shara! I'm amazed with all your super cool ideas. Also love the sock monkey hat.👍
Thanks so much! Sock monkey hat is a staple in the winter wardrobe 😂
I love it. When the shop is finally built, this will be my first project. She's already had me remove her bathroom door. I have the other bathroom. Don't ask.

You can never be too dramatic about s***#&$-$ doors. So glad I found your channel
Lady that’s awesome job 👍 really beautiful
Thank you so much!
Stunning love the Black contrast.
Thank you!! 💕
I love how this door looks and the black trim looks amazing around the glass 👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!
Beautiful work beautiful door.💞🙏
Thank you so much!
the nicest simplest design i've seen.
So beautiful! You are so talented!
You’re so kind. Thank you!
It is beautiful with the natural finish and black trim! I really enjoy you videos. Thank you.
I appreciate you watching!
really cool process, I was looking for a video that does not require 25 expensive wood machines and japanese carpentry skills. that is accessible and practice, and beautiful door
Great looking door!
Thanks so much!
The door looks great! I like the frosted Plexiglas and black trim. A clear coat would look nice and go with the black trim. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks so much for watching!
That door looks fantastic.
Thanks so much!!
Love the door. Very practical. I've never liked those old doors as they were always in the way.
Yes! So many doors are just an obstacle. I hope sliding or pocket doors become more normal to save space over time
I really would have thought that would have been harder. You do a great job at breaking down projects and doing them in a way that look great butnis easy to follow
I appreciate that and glad to hear you enjoyed the build process 😊 everything is simple if you break it into small pieces 😉
awesome. you make it look easy! i hope you keep the door natural, but in any case, congrats on getting rid of something you hate! the struggle is real. :) rock on and on!
Thank you!! The more I walk by this door since I hung it up, the more I love the natural wood color 😍 so glad you like the color, too!
I think the black tirm looks good .. nice project looks much better with sliding door ... thank you for the video:)
Thanks so much for watching!!
I love the sliding doors. It can be a pain to do sometimes but so much better looking then regular doors .. great job
Thank you! They save so much floor space 🙌 I don’t know why they’re not more common-sliding or pocket doors either one.
@@WoodshopDiaries I don't know why they aren't more common either. I made a wine / coffee cabinet and used the sliding door look too. I never did anything like that, so I was way out of my wheel house but it came out great ... heavy but great
Looks great. No its awesome!! The contrasting finish on it is very cool...
Thanks so much!!
I would love this as a front door to a house looks amazing!!!!
Okay I'm a fan now lol obsessed with your ideas and work girl! 😍
Really smart door.
Simple design but you finished it really well. It's a huge chunk of a door but making a feature of it works so well. 👏🏻
Thanks so much! It’s definitely a feature in the hallway right now 😍
When I didn't see a video last week I knew you were up to something special. You didn't disappoint! The door looks great and you've left us with great expectations of future projects to come.

SUPER GEMACHT gefällt mir sehr gut
I can't believe you made this barn door yourself. It's so well done!
Wow! I can do this!!! So much easier than other solutions I found. Thank you and looks great!!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!
Superb! Absolutely superb and the colour contrast with the black trim is perfect imo.
That's how I am with my project... Indecisive.
you're amazing the fact that you can do it with finnese you can outdo many carpenters specially working w it alone, my suggestion is, looks better to let the natural beauty of the wood that way, God Bless you more!!....fr Philippines👍👍👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! I agree with you--I decided to leave it as is! :)

Great job Shara! The door turned out fantastic, you have great taste!
You’re so kind. Thanks so much for watching!!
Wow made it look so easy
Thank you! But I promise, it was!
@@WoodshopDiaries can I use 1x6 instead to make it lighter as it’s an interior door?
The kit I used is designed for 1 3/8” - 1 3/4” thick door. So if you can find a kit (or make your own) that works for 3/4”, sure. But you can’t use 1/2” dowels or they’ll stick out the front and back when you glue them on
@@WoodshopDiaries thanks you the best. Oh and thanks for be an inspiration. Need a table saw for sure. But trying.
I would feel exactly the same way about that door!
Looks great in the natural wood! Nice work!
Thank you! I think I’ll leave it as is for a while 😍 the black and wood combo is growing in on me the more I look at it.
Hey, nice job! That really looks great! I like the idea of the frosted windows it looks really sharp. Thanks for sharing this project you did a great job. PS..I like the look of the black outline. It just adds a little something.

I like the black trim. It picks up the black from the door hardware. Gives a little visual interest.
Thanks so much! Black and wood are my favorite combination. So simple 😍
I love it. I made a cedar barn door for my daughters closet. I used bottom glides that mounted to the baseboard.
I’m sure she loves it! Cedar is one of my favorites!
@@WoodshopDiaries she does. Thanks. 🤗
I do so love ur hats u wear while working lol x
😊 sock monkey hat is a must have! Ha!
Nice job, Shara! The door looks great and the dark pieces of wood add a nice contrast to the door.

Great job, Shara! Cool idea with the plexiglass. We installed a barn door in our laundry room and it gave it WAY more space.
So glad you enjoyed it! Sliding doors just make sense for small spaces 🙌 I feel like they should be more common in laundry rooms and bathrooms ha. But what do I know 😂
Great job. Great assistance Danny

Nice build. Prehaps tongue and groove to attach your rails and you could have used one of the grooves to retain your glass panels. Even planning the rails with a groove to retain the glass. just some foodf for thought. again a very nice build.
