I am blown away. I have been a DIY person from neccessity all my life, carpentry, plumbing, carpet fitting, etc, and always loved handling and working with oak.. it takes a generation to grow and demands lots of your time to make the most of it. Please carry on, don't stop.
I’ll take 17 doors and a moat please. This is some fine woodworking. I love the attention to making joints that will stay tight….for centuries! In truth this piece is TOO fine for any historic castle😂 Thank you for sharing👍😁
Nice video, I remember building a gothic arched door for one of my college projects back in the 80's, although it was on a slight angle and not a straight key joint. It was very difficult, I like your method and the final finish is a beautiful door and frame.
We did this kind of work over 50 yrs ago as part of our apprentice training at the local tech. Of course, we were only allowed to use hand tools. Great to see traditional skills kept alive.
That was an absolute pleasure to watch, real skills , Big toys and excellent result. If I ever own a castle you will be the first to know. Great stuff, thank you.
Give you my friend Terry good morning my dear, great ball show friend very top was the door, detail in the design and very beautiful finish, top D+, thank you, top ball show, excellent channel friend I look forward to your videos - a strong hugs - TMJ on the walk count on me here - another successful subscriber - God bless
Woodworking requires A hell of a lot of toys. Those machines cost big time. 😐😐 But it's worth it, the price of such a door like this would be extremely high. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 It's absolutely gorgeous. 😍😍😍
Thanks for putting this video up Terry , hope you will stay with posting these as woodworkers get a barrel full of views on you tube. I have been a joiner/ furniture maker for 42 years and still love learning how others do there jobs.
Thank you so much Terry for sharing your and Darren's skill and artwork, just gorgeous and extremely fascinating. I have a woodshop and have always wondered how these doors were made. ❤
If you need a good job done you can't beat a good Irish man 😉 best 👍 in the world we built most of it where ever you 💪 go 😉 you will see the work of a man thanks again for your video 📹 and help 👍 😀
Terry, Such beautiful work mate ! It is good to see that the old skills are being kept alive in the old country. Dad's lot ended up in Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) (involuntary migrants) but kept the craft alive in the family. Thank you for your wonderful demonstration of how it should be done. Cheers !
Good morning 🌅, excellent work, just don’t get your fingers in the way when closing the door, 🚪, I have made a few doors similar, I had a customer phone me about 5-6 months later his wife had broken 2 of her fingers, in the closing of the door, , keep up the great work, I am English but retired now living in France,
Oh my gosh! That video gave me butterflies in my stomach, in a good way though. Well yeah, some aspects are probably not exactly historically accurate, but it's close enough for me. Dude, you certainly have a very high skill as a cabinetmaker, more an awesome artist. In a matter of fact, I have the project to build a dream house where I want a bedroom, well more a suit, with a medieval theme. One of the aspect is precisely the door. You gave me great ideas, to begin with. Thank you so much!!!
A beautiful job! Both the woodwork and the metalwork is superb. I would have liked to see more of the process but what I did see was a treat for the eyes.
A beautiful example of a mans craft . I've machined a few of these styles and similar in my life as a wood machinist . Not seen the hammer head tenon used before but have the fox wedge . Nice use of the split wedge in the dowel , have used the draw bore method in a few . Danish oil and the black ironmongery really compliments the workmanship. Thanks for sharing .
Beautiful door made by expert craftsman ! So nice to see such workmanship in this modern age....Wish I had a castle I'd buy a few doors from you ! Thanks for sharing...
Very cool. Now, in Medieval times, the oak would have almost certainly been riven, that is split into staves which were then adzed down and finally planed, and not too perfectly at that. Oak was used for everything and part of the reason was its ability to be split, making laborious sawing not necessary. Generally, historical oak woodwork is what we would call quartersawn, with the grain radial to the surface. Also, fun fact about oak, the slower growth wood is much softer and can be carved more easily. Much carving would have been done while the oak was green or not totally dry.
@@Goodwithwood69 Of course, and hundreds if not thousands of sawmills throughout Europe. There's one left in Holland, a windmill which uses medieval reciprocating action. But mostly pitsawing would have been done. We see little illustrations of men sawing wood in the margins of illuminated manuscripts. It's not true that wood was commonly sawn for most purposes. It's just easier to square a log. Sawing was often unnecessary for carpentry and a joiner was a carpenter basically. But you do see a lot of matched crooks in wattle and daub houses. These were sawn, I'm pretty sure. But there's much evidence that it was riven. Again, that's part of the reason that oak was used for everything. Walnut takes over circa 1600 and then mahogany sometime around 1700. There's a video here on TH-cam of how studs for a bell tower might have been split out off an oak log.
@@carlosreira2189 th-cam.com/video/BE2klxBE8QM/w-d-xo.html Medieval wood riving (english subtitles) I can see the advantage of riving. Grain structure and wood movement.
@@carlosreira2189 Hi, can you share that video link. By the way, great info you share there, but where did you find that info about walnut/1600 and mahogany/1700?
@@LuisSilva-tq9sj Hey thanks for asking. I'm just a total wood geek. I find all woods endlessly fascinating. I have a few books on it. The main one is probably "History of English Furniture." Because in this case we're talking about Ireland, which would have followed the British in general. But being more provincial they would have used less imported finer woods and stuck with oak for a lot longer. Similar to a Welsh dresser. Those are almost always oak. Walnut becomes popular in Britain via French and Italian furniture where it is used ever since the Renaissance. I don't think walnut is native to England, even though we call it "English walnut" (juglans regia). Think of a Savonarolla chair for example. Also the Dutch had some walnut trees and used it, I believe. The Dutch also traded massively all around the globe and had imported woods which the British didn't, like ebony. William and Mary were Dutch and so there's a lot of similarities in furniture in this period. The British in the 17th and 18th centuries actually used a lot of local materials instead of and alongside imported ones. They used a lot of veneers too, to maximize the yield of expensive woods. For example, you'll see Charles II chairs made out of ebonized beechwood. You'll see candle stands made from figured ash. They used yew wood sometimes. When exactly and why mahogany becomes king of woods is not super clear to me. But by the Queen Anne period we see mahogany being used along with walnut in England, and in the colonies as well, and some cherry starting to be used, and stained maple too. By the Georgian period, everything is either mahogany or stained to look like it. I guess it's just such an all around awesome wood. They nearly wiped it out. This is Caribbean mahogany aka Cuban mahogany that they used. The Irish make some excellent mahogany furniture in the Chippendale style, with lots of carving. Spanish colonies, the Portuguese, Spain is much different. Mahogany is used, but they had other stuff like Rosewood that English people didn't get hip to until Victorian times. "Continental" furniture is different too. The French, Germans, Italians used whatever they had. Here you find much more local woods, beech, walnut, poplar, pear, cherry and other fruitwoods, with painting, carving, gilding, etc. Softwoods are used in places that have not much else like the Alps. The Parisian tradition is on a whole nutha level though. These are the "ebenistes" the master cabinetmakers who had to do a "masterpiece" to get into the royal guild and sell their work. They usually signed their work. So we know the big names--Andre Boulle for the Louis XIV period, and whole slew for the Louis XV, and people like Reisener for the Louis XVI period. They worked for royalty and the uber rich. They introduce some cool woods like Satinwood and Purpleheart (forget what they called it), and lots of marquetry. The English are influenced to some degree by high style French furniture but they tone it down. They use much more solid woods during the Georgian period. And then more veneering, using satinwood with mahogany for example, in the 19th century. But by this time, the Adam brother's Neo-classical style is all the vogue. So we get Hepplewhite and Sheraton as the two main styles. And America follows English trends here as well.
Amazing work, i love the fact that you leave your trademark inside, i always done the same. Again, amazing and a joy to watch.
Calling you a wood worker is a understatement you’re a master craftsman . Gee’s that door is awesome
Really beautiful door and amazing craftmanship
