I nearly fell asleep watching this, but I can vouch for the technique. I’ve never had to build a door frame from total scratch before. After two days of false starts, I followed this and was done in no more than an hour. Thanks moonlighting Elton John from the 80’s!
These days I wedge it then using foam adhesive (NOT normal expanding foam). Absolutely rock solid and a much better hold. Yep, even stronger than nails.
Ah, craftsman porn. I feel like I need a cigarette and a glass of wine. (This man's picture is in the dictionary next to the definition of 'professional'.)
Wouldn't want to do that job using that method....too much hard work and long windedness!! Fully threaded screws and mdf wedges are the way to go! Foam up after!!

Elton John moonlighting as a chippy in the early 80's
And all these years later the frame’s still standing-better than it ever did.
Lol I thought the same thing. Rocket Maaaaaaan
Old school hard work , top of the range work there
Not a battery tool in sight he'd already gone cordless😀
Put this on 1.5x speed to see him working at quarter to five on a Friday afternoon.

You can tell by the cut of his jeans 👖 he knows his stuff
Damn right, I wonder what size chest they are ?
Back when stuff was done properly bet that door opening still better than some of this new build shit
A fisheye wide-angle lens wasn't the best option for showing straight and true!
Imagine doing that all day. And in nice shoes!
Ahh yes old school ,those were the days, I’m surprised he wasn’t using Fred Flintstones stone tools
where's the pink foam
You beat me to it ;-)
Real craftsmanship.
This is gold
I wish I could find wood that performed that well
I can remember seeing this at college 😃
Me too mate, not that long ago either, 2005. It looked old then! Hope you're still at it 👍
Still at it mate, it was 2006 for me

Phill Collins before Easy lover mate 😅 Good video though...
When things were done right , I wonder where that guy is today
Unemployed for sure. Builders expect you to be able to set a door frame in 10 minutes.
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 he could probably build a door and fit it in an hour with just a saw,screwdriver every thing today is prepacked
in a coffin he made himself
@@uttaradit2 haha
On his farewell tour
I'll take block layer to work ahead of me no need for inch packers around him

No screws. Yikes
Nails are stronger than screws.
Cut nail will hold very very strongly
