- I made a solid oak door using stave core construction, with double glazed panels for a sea view cottage, an old coastguard cottage in Norfolk, U.K.

I will be uploading soon the video of the oak frame that goes with the door for this coastguard’s cottage.

Hi! Diego! I like your woodworking shop. Especially, the Vintage VICE. It looks like RECORD NO.53 VICE.
Thank you, Ryan. I have 3 old record vices, n52 at the end of the bench, n52 1/2 on the right and n53 on the left. Both vices on the front I got from car boot sales and the smaller one I exchanged it for a drill driver I wasn’t using anymore. Glad you like the workshop!
Now I know how my sons front door was made. True craftsmanship 😊
@@vickileonard72 thank you! Glad you like my work. And the door looks fantastic in the coastguard’s cottage, even if I say so myself…
One of the better door videos on youtube. Make more stuff and get to the million subs!
@@askor2000 thank you very much! I’m delighted you like the video. Now it’s your turn to make a door! D.
@@diegobernasconi Ha. I'm good on doors. Working on a shelf and desk, and have two wardrobes in the queue. And just installed 23 ft of very similar louvered fence. 75ft to go :(
@@askor2000 ah! Keeping busy, that’s the way. Good luck with it all, a desk would be a great project for me. Enjoy!
loved everything! I wished you had recorded the installation!
@@juanmallqui9309 yes! I know… I wish I did too. Guests were arriving on the afternoon and there was a big race against time. I didn’t want to be worrying about filming and my video technology doesn’t let me record for more than about one hour until the memory card is full…
All I can say is that it went pretty smooth, and breaking and cutting up the old door frame into pieces the take it out was quite unnerving as then there is no way back. I made the new door frame about 10mm bigger at top and sides and planed/chiselled it to fit snuggly. But I had help to fit it, so I can’t take full credit for that part.
As there is no video of the other person installing, I’m still the hero of making it, which is the important part.
Glad you like it!
It means a lot.
Thank you.

Nice job
@@lacharpenterieMaillienMichael gracias! Hey, nice channel, great work, lovely accent.
Shout out to the eclectic music listeners who read Stave Core and went, "why not?"
@@addammadd Ha! A good way to bring in public from all walks of life! Hope you liked the door and the music…
This is real talent Diego
Thank you! And thanks for subscribing too. More videos coming soon!
@@diegobernasconi The Tornado project brought me here, a truly fascinating blog and great to see images of the pre production stages, I hadn't noticed the round cube!!
And your other work, is simply exquisite!
Ah! I’m glad you liked the Tornado project. It was quite surreal working on it, as I got to be fully as an insider in the venture. The work of Simon Fearnhamm was very meticulous and pilot Ady really knew what he wanted. I got the easy part, really. Good to know you already recognise the inlayed cube!
Great and beautiful work. Why do custom door makers tend to glue up stock face to face for the core then apply a veneer over it instead of using solid stock. Is it so you can you thinner material or another reason?
@@BigJohnnyMcJohnson thank you! The idea of gluing up stock face to face and veneer over (“stave core” construction method) is to stabilise the stiles and rails, so they shouldn’t warp, crack or split with the changes in humidity and temperature on both sides of the door (if it is an exterior door). But it is important that the “veneers” aren’t too thick, as once this happens, it will start to behave as solid wood.
On this door I cut the veneers at about 4 mm thick. I think you can have them thicker but I didn’t want to risk it.
The main difference with solid wood is that it can expand, bow, twist, split, crack and shrink more over time, if you are unlucky. This is for an exterior front door for a rental cottage next to the sea, with sun, rain wind and use and abuse of guests…
A stave core door will (hopefully) keep it’s straight flat shape for many years, as it keeps the wood’s integrity (something to do with the density, quality and strength of the wood).
I think the technique is coming as far as the Egyptians making sarcophagus, not sure if even before that, but I saw it myself in the London museum (for free!) and those things are still complete and stable, many as stable as when made. I think copying how people did things in the past is a good way to make things better today. The problem with stave core is that it takes a lot longer to make than a solid door, unless you have all the expensive machinery, presses and workshop space. If you have the time and can afford stave core for a living, that’s great. I can’t really, but wanted to make it right and for it to last, not worrying about it later. I also never did stave core construction before, so I thought it was the perfect time to get some experience. Glad you liked my work!
@@diegobernasconi Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it. I was thinking that glueing stock face to face and using it on edge would help with strength and stability. I’m 31 and I’ve been doing woodwork for a living for about ten years. I do furniture and custom cabinetry so I have experience with mortise and tenon techniques. I’ve made all kinds of cabinet doors but I’ve been really wanting to do a big, nice entry door for quite a while. Your video of very informative and inspirational to me. I hope I get the opportunity soon!
@@BigJohnnyMcJohnson Wow! Great to hear. Thank you. Ya, have a go at your door, just make sure you have enough clamps! Good luck with it. Maybe some day we’ll all watch your video.
Excellent craftsmanship - but it's a shame to ruin the clean lines with this 45-degree router bit.
Hi! Thank you for your comment, glad you like it! The door was agreed to be made as similar as possible to the one replaced. The 45degree profile was to allow rain water to fall, as the cottage is a few metres from the sea and it gets thrashed by the weather. But I was just copying the old design. I also don’t really like the black and white colour, I much prefer the natural oak look, but the door wasn’t for me and the owners had a clear idea of what they wanted…
Thanks for watching!
@@diegobernasconi Thanks for your reply, makes total sense with the rainwater and of course the customer's wishes.
And they say the client is always right…🙄@@andreasmeerkamp8627
What kind of dog do you have?
Hi! He is a rescue dog, his name is Lolo and he was found in a bin bag in a ditch with his 6 brothers and sisters…
He is about a year old and we think he is a mixture between dog and cockerpoo, but cooler.
