Inswing doors are not secure even with a steel frame , all you need to do is put a car jack between the Jambs and jack 3/4" then push open the door !!!!!!
Good, it wasn't just me. LOL. I am seeing the bits breaking and wondering where the lubricant is. Always use something to make it easier and keep bits cool when drilling in steel.
@@LonestarHawaiianHi! Three things to consider: 1. start with smaller holes and gradually make them larger. 2. Don’t drill into the ground - it will dull the bore bit. 3 Slow speed and little spray or drop of oil will prolong the life of the bore bits. Keep up the good work - it will be a very nice place to work on your projects.
Use actual cutting oil like drill/tap oil as it helps the bits bite verses regular oil or spray lubricant will allow more slippage and slow the cutting. Also, as noted, speed is important. If you go too fast, it will burn the bits. The dirt will kill the bits. I was also wondering why not drill the holes, then paint them, or at least add primer and paint to the holes?
Chad, I really respect a man who is a Do it Yourselfer! I think that your building project is looking totally awesome, and I cannot wait to the brickwork! I am a hugh advocate of DIYer's, and as such I have done most of the work on my house for ten+ years. I believe that when you put your blood; sweat; tears as well as your heart and soul into a project that it's reward is to stand back and say, "I did that and it looks gosh darn good"! Well done, Chad!
Congratulations Chad, what an amazing feeling you must have and as a fan of not only the channel, the car enthusiast aspect, but of the little guy, getting things done through blood, sweat and tears, you've done an amazing job and it's so cool to see you bring it home and next up, bricking this damn shop! I can't wait until it's completed. I reached out recently and gave you some contact info for the bricks, I hope that was helpful! Thanks, Brian - Prosper, TX
Chad, that "strike plate" on the door handle can be adjusted so you don't have to push on the door with your foot. Simply use a regular screw driver to bend the tab out causing the door handle not to latch until its pushed harder against the new weatherstriping. This will make it so you allign the dead bolt with its strike plate.
I know you're doing your best with this garage build and I respect you for that, one thing I would have suggested was to ask the steel supplier to drill out those holes for you. Most times they know how far apart it goes. I only speak from experience as a builder in Ontario
I would recommend running a magnet tool along the grass to pick up all the metal shards from drilling holes so your dog, maui doesn't get splinters in his paws.
Drill smaller holes first and then work up. It saves your energy and frustration. They make many different thresholds for that kind of door. The weatherstripping is also special for that kind of door. Home Depot will not have it.
The one good thing I love about living outside of city limits, is that I'm able to do exactly the same thing as you except I'm not bogged down by inspections.
Out swing would protect from bad weather. Wind would push on door which would push tighter on weather stripping. Also, harder to kick in an out swing door. Looks good though.
I love your videos. Please don’t take this as any criticism. If I lived closer I would be over all the time helping. When drilling, pilot holes help. Use cutting oil, keep your drill straighter. Use thicker starter bits. I laugh when you say that new door is solid. They are known as hollow metal doors. When applying smoke gasket and weather stripping, place it on the jamb on the hinge side and on the stop at the header and latch side. It creates a better seal, compresses better and closes better. If you have to gently press the door shut to seal, that’s okay. If it’s too much you can file the middle of the strike plate a little to shift the latch point. If the door doesn’t shut well in the future, you can add a closer. A hydronic piston that assists the door closing. Last thing, you installed the door just fine. It’s easier to place the hinges on the door first. Then bring the door to the jamb and rest it on a 1/2” piece of conduit. With the door on the conduit you can easily roll/slide the door toward or away from the jamb. Tilt the hinges side of the door up or down. Then install one screw on the top hinge then force the door away from the jamb a little to place a second screw in a lower hinge and the rest is easy. When done, if the reveals are off. (1/16” hinge side, 1/8” header and latch side) you can throw the hinges and manipulate the gaps. You can google how to throw or shim hinges. Or Message me and I’ll help.
I love this series and watch out for new videos. I was a little nervous seeing you under the door lintel as it was sitting on the wooden 'ladder'. Stay safe ❤️
Dude! Love your content. Take pride in knowing you are motivating a 48 year old, gear head to do things out here on my property. Proud owner of an AT4 GMC as well!
So from a machinists perspective. Drilling anything metal and thicker than sheet metal biggest thing is slow and steady win the race and keep the drill straight!
When they remodeled our shop office at work with similar doors, they drilled 1" holes near the top of the frame and pumped the hollow with high strength concrete grout. Code usually requires structural steel to be coated with red oxide primer, not black spray paint. Have to wait til the end to see you pass, lol!
Been watching you build from the start, I'm impressed how much you have done! I will say that was a clever way to raise the steel, I would never have thought of doing it that way!
Fyi those drill bits aren't made of titanium. The gold coating is titanium nitride and is applied to a high speed steel drill. The coating is super thin but helps the drills last longer. There is a huge variety of coatings from mild to wild for tooling and that's why those spyder drills are the interesting blue hue. They using a different type of coating that may or may not be better than the TIN coating.
In the future look into an automatic door seal, I know Pemco makes one, they may work really well for the bottom of your exterior door. It mounts into a channel on the bottom of the door and has a button on the hinge face of the door that drops the sweep when it is closed.
If you will be doing the bricks make sure you put flashing, weeps, and wall ties to help keep the bricks up and for the water escape behind the brick... depending your code its 16-24 inches above the ground where you put the weeps every 3rd head joint along the bottom walls, lentils, and doors. When drilling in them use oil and go slow or have tons of bits... it sucks to drill into lentils... Keep it up looks great so far...
You should get your hands like plaster/cement casted, and then put the gloves on them and display them inside as part of the dream shop. Your "Helping Hands" (also maybe some photos and of course the other helpers like your wife and such) Bonus if you manage to pose them to like hold a hammer or something for extra effect. as for the inspector, as the changes could be seen from your fence, he probably just did the 'yup I see 'em, they fixed it' and moved on.
The hollow metal door you installed do not come with thresholds as they typically are ment to install a vinyl or aluminum u shape sweep you adjust to drag across the floor or across a handicap thresh hold you slide over the "stop" of the frame and anchor into the concrete. You can also get magnetic weather striping for those doors as well.
Nooooo out swinging is better for tornado and hurricane. Because the wind pushes the door to lock if you have an in door swinging once it pops that door your roof goes. Learned this from typhoons on Guam.
Steel door is fire rated so therefore no weather stripping should be on it. Could melt in a fire and not allow for the door to open. So many crazy rubles for building components
When drilling steel like that pain in the arse thing to do is work your way up through the drill bit start with a 6mm then 8mm if it’s a 10mm fixing then use 10mm and use cutting oil make life easier and save on your drill bits
quality was better on craftsman sockets when it was sold at sears, once they were bought of by Stanley Black & Decker, quality has gone down. Try using Pittsburgh impact sockets from harbor freight with an impact wrench!
You can call it a lentol when it's installed i guess that's the engineering name for it. All it is is an angle iron 3×3 or 3×5 or 4×4 plus thickness 1/4" up to 1" if necessary. When I was fabricating I used 1" on big jobs. Hell, I've cut 12" slabs with a track burner & #5 tip & a whole oxygen bank set on 120 pds. Per square inch. That's alot of fun building a dump station or a slag pot hauler.😂😂😂
@ I’m so sorry for your loss, I know from personal experience how difficult losing a (furry) family member can be. Glad you have the new addition to the family. 😊

I would put red oxide on it not primer
Small tip when drilling metal use oil it will save the bits life by alot
Adding that to the list of learnings from this week… 😂 thanks!
Good, it wasn't just me. LOL. I am seeing the bits breaking and wondering where the lubricant is. Always use something to make it easier and keep bits cool when drilling in steel.
just coming to say that, heat is the enemy.. lower the heat makes the bit last longer.

Drilling metal tips…. You’er drill speed is set too high (metal cuts at Lowe speeds) and you need to use cutting fluid or oil to lubricant the bit.
I second that
Yes, very true. Also, you don't want to press hard on the drill, let the drill bit do its job.
Congratulations Chad, what an amazing feeling you must have and as a fan of not only the channel, the car enthusiast aspect, but of the little guy, getting things done through blood, sweat and tears, you've done an amazing job and it's so cool to see you bring it home and next up, bricking this damn shop!

Another great video, I learn something from all of them! By the way, Lowes does not own Craftsman Tools, Stanley Black & Decker does.
Always glad to see another video drop from you. Aloha!
🤙🏽 thanks for watching!
It’s always good to see people
build there dreams, it’s going to look real nice! Badass trail boss too 👀👌
The one good thing I love about living outside of city limits, is that I'm able to do exactly the same thing as you except I'm not bogged down by inspections.
A lighter gauge metal can typically be used for windows and doors. Also they don’t need to be bolted
Out swing would protect from bad weather. Wind would push on door which would push tighter on weather stripping. Also, harder to kick in an out swing door. Looks good though.
Biggest salmon ladder ever lol. You should get a mag drill with annular bits. Makes drilling metal like butter.
I love your videos. Please don’t take this as any criticism. If I lived closer I would be over all the time helping.

started watching the first episode in class last week and now im intrigued and have finished all of the episodes lol
Out swing door is more secure in bad weather. Wind pushes it away from the weather stripping if it is in swinging

Congrats on the pass!
Love the kids laughing at the end
If you add oil while drilling strong steel, you keep the drill bit cool and lessen the wear and drill out the holes better.
Been watching you build from the start, I'm impressed how much you have done! I will say that was a clever way to raise the steel, I would never have thought of doing it that way!
Love the shop so far. Cobalt bit, slow speed and tapping oil or lube. Looking great
With the storm winds you get around there, would've definitely kept it an out-swinging door.
Ef the internet "professionals".
Congrats on passing looking forward to the interior finishing 🔨🪚

This diy stuff is great!
I looked up an LIF security door at Home Depot. $900 Ouch! They had some others are $600
Might have been a good time to invest in a mag drill. Drilling that would be so easy and is a amazing asset for a new shop
Protect puppy paws, get a roller magnetic and take it through the yard where ya drilled.

Cobalt Bits and a bit of oil is the best combo for metal I've found.
Hell yeah... 1 more inspection to go! Keep up the great work Chad! (p.s. I had NO idea ur name was Chad til a little bit ago lol)
Time for a drill press, and some oil. Drill pressing is incredibly therapeutic. A small grinder is great for sharpening the drill bits
Maui's head tilts are epic.
Greatvidea with the stairs stepping up by your self !!
Drill a very small pilot hole before drilling them to the larger size. It will got faster and burn fewer drill bits.
A little oil will help reduce heat and preserve the drill sharpness a bit longer.
I always use cutting oil when drilling metal, keeps the drill bit cool, and sharp longer.
Now the real fun begins. Just make you corners look and perfect as want. It lames a great place to leave your mark. The corner stone.
You need a set of rotabroaches for drilling holes like that, zero broken bits, and < 10 seconds per hole on 1/4" steel.
Get some 3-in-1 oil to use on the drill point when you drill iron. You’ll save a lot of bits, they’ll stay sharper, and they’ll drill faster.
Congrats, dude. If you're not failing, you're not trying. Way to go!
I would recommend using cutting oil when drilling that many holes. It will go easy on the bit and the drill gun.
The hollow metal door you installed do not come with thresholds as they typically are ment to install a vinyl or aluminum u shape sweep you adjust to drag across the floor or across a handicap thresh hold you slide over the "stop" of the frame and anchor into the concrete. You can also get magnetic weather striping for those doors as well.
Way to go on the side door!!!
Don't forget to feed and water the new trees!!!
It’s been raining all week fortunately! I’ll be watering again next week 🤙🏽
Nooooo out swinging is better for tornado and hurricane. Because the wind pushes the door to lock if you have an in door swinging once it pops that door your roof goes. Learned this from typhoons on Guam.
My weekend just got better by watching this video.

Great job looking forward next week...👍👍👍👍
I can vouch for the Milwaukee metal drill bit set. those bits mean business! Like you I was breaking the dewalts.
Use some cutting oil fot the drill bits and invest on a good bit sharpener.
I would have made notches in the toungue box to lock up the ends of the safety chains in there as well
in swing on the side door probably wont be up to code.. high wind will push that door in.
Love your videos man. Keep up the great work!
I use tap magic when I'm drilling holes it works great on saving drill bits and it works great for tapping in some threads
@LonestarHawaiian
I wonder, shouldent doors open to the outside?
Typical reqirement her in Scandinavian🤔
They should.
Nice job Ninja Warrior-ing that lentil up without hurting yourself. 🎉🤙🏼
bit of cutting fluid when your drilling would be nice to see. Love your work. Will look amazing when your done.
When drilling steel like that pain in the arse thing to do is work your way up through the drill bit start with a 6mm then 8mm if it’s a 10mm fixing then use 10mm and use cutting oil make life easier and save on your drill bits

You R doing an unbelievable excellent job. And you’re not even a contractor. Let alone a builder.
The dewalt cobalt drill bits are really good
Great job and wonderful videos!
Or use olive oil 🇮🇹 JK. Love your idea to get the steel over the garage door. Nice work love the video!!!!
Use a little wd-40 or some oil when you’re drilling into metal and you’ll save yourself bits as well
Love my Spyder bits.
Spray your bit with wd 40 while drilling it helps
Sloe you drill down and use a drilling oil. Don't drill into soil either.
Awesome Great Job!
Buy good black bits and use oil wd40 even works cut on #1 slow steady. I drill alot stainless steel 😢 green stuff is best lube for us
Use cabide bits with oil.
Harbor freight Colby drill bits.
*whistles* Keep it up!
Doing it and doing it well!
Hey I building a skirt two stairs and fixing some shutters and gate opener
Drilling metal you should lubricate the drill bits and slower speeds
Maui is going to want a matching dog house.
Fun fact, most steel yards will drill the holes and prime it for ya, for free.
your metal door is missing the weather strip seal on the right side... thats why there is a gap
Curious what happened to your dog Dallas? Not sure if I missed it in one of the episodes.
Thanks
She passed away early this year. Absolutely crushed us, but she got sick and went downhill fast. Adopted Maui just a few months ago.
@ I’m so sorry for your loss, I know from personal experience how difficult losing a (furry) family member can be. Glad you have the new addition to the family. 😊
I second what Sean said. Use oil.
Cutting oil when drilling helps alot
Keep the bits lubricated with WD40 or cutting oil when drilling. Those same bits I bought at my lowes for 15 bucks for Christmas sale
Ooof that would have been a good excuse to buy a mag drill. Vevor has one for $211 with water cooling and a set of annular cutter bits.
the key for drilling steel like that is to have multiple bits. drop the speed down and make sure your not building up too much heat on the bits.
Use carbide drill bits and tap oil.
in Sweden all the doors swings out =)
Happy for ya bro
Congrats man
Dont worry.. your mower will find the drill bit later. Hahaa.
Should have used gussets for that long of spanned as a mason they seem to sag after awhile !!!! And staggering bolt holes helps also .
