These look really great! I never would have thought of building the whole frame first and then cutting it apart. Really slick idea. Thanks for sharing!
Videos like this usually attract endless armchair 'experts' telling you how you should have done it. Nice to see none here, just positive vibes....I thought it was great too!
I use this same technique when building wood fence gates, I run the 2x4 across both 4x4 post, build the frame, then cut it off after I put the hinges on. Very good technique for perfect fit doors/gates
Happy to see that you put the diagonal Z-pieces in the right way so that they will keep the doors from sagging. A lot of people don't really think about the physics of those supports.
@@tomfull6637 I believe this claim needs an explanation. To my knowledge the direction of a compression brace has to be from top/far side to bottom/hinged side to actually serve a purpose, which is to transfer the force applied (or just the weight itself) at the far side to the bottom of the near (hinged)side. The force wants to push the far side down, gets redirected diagonally, trying to "compress" the brace, which it can't, so the door won't sag. There is a way of putting a brace in the other way around. But then it has to be under tension, "pulling" the far bottom corner "up" into the top hinged corner. I don't really get why the material should make a difference.... but i'm always happy to learn something new 👍
@@Miserace well as long as the brace is long lasting (wood + screws/nails are not but a welded metal brace is) it doesn’t matter if the brace is hanging (pulling) or standing (pushing) diagonally, the square (door) can never loose its 4 x 90 degrees angels owing to the brace. In this video an angle bar (fairly resistant against bending) is used as brace. (And attached to the wood it gets extra bending resistance. But... Now imagine a brace made of flat steel bar! Also imagine a naked door without wood ie just a frame with a diagonal brace. A flat bar requires in pulling force some 250-350 Nm/mm2 x its cross section before it starts breaking. (25-35 Kp/mm2) Pushing force on the other hand.... when exceeding a certain length (in relation to its width and thickness) and not very long actually, you start making a bow of the brace. In this case approx. a 2,5 meter (8’) brace, you only need a very little pressing force to start the brace to bow. Hence the hanging brace is more reliable and foremost easier to calculate as you don’t have to consider the integrity of the bow resistance any attachments of surface dressing (wood or other) brings along.
Baromira tetszenek a videóid, ez volt az első videód amit láttam, de már vagy 4* megnéztem. Remek vágások, nagyon jól érthető munkamenet, remek segítség a hozzám hasonló kezdőknek. Csak így tovább!
I live in Nicaragua and this is the common way it's done here. Sometimes on sight and sometimes in the shop. Here they make their own hinges and catches. Only the locks are pre-manufactured. It's rare to use a wood finish but it is an option here. But the wood is hand sanded and finished from rough cut lumber. Most times the welders create beautiful artwork such as ornamental flowers and other designs on each panel. Absolutely incredible talent among the people of Nicaragua. I wish I could include a pic.
Thx for your inspiration, because of your video I build my own door. Because of the slightly bigger size i used a rail construction for the two connected doors to fold. Working like a charm ;)
Really nice job on constructing the doors. Looking at your eves, if you lived in Oregon I'd be concerned about water collecting in the bottoms of the doors. You probably live in a dryer climate. Thanks for sharing,
For our build in Eugene Oregon, we are sheathing the exterior with 16-gauge sheet-metal from Coyote Steel. The Coyote crew cut to my dimensions. Why steel instead of wood? Goofballs on bicycles at 3am.
@@Ollaris you will and it takes a lot of time. I've been busy for almost 2 years. Every time I get something new tend to want rearrange the whole workshop! Good luck and enjoy it!

Imádom a csavaros észjárásod! :D De komolyan, most már biztos láttam többszáz asztalos/maker/stb. videót de csak a neked vannak olyan ötleteid ami miatt érdemes megnézni az _összes_ videód! Nagyon klassz lett ez az ajtó is, egyszer tuti lemásolom! Köszi!
Very nice! I've been contemplating doing a bi-fold door for my shop and your design just gave another style idea. I used to have a Doka similar to yours many years ago, I regrettably sold it.
Whilst I saw you building and welding the frames I thought to myself the title of the video insulating garage doors, and I looked at the airbricks exposed in the walls and thought why bother you need to sort out the walls. but in the final finished section Boom the walls and doors all finished fine my man. Nice work.
great job, very clever but you put the braces on the wrong way, if they were timber it would be correct as a timber brace works best under compression but steel is vastly stronger under tension, probably won't make a difference even though the "loose" timber boards provide no additional bracing. don't get me wrong I loved this build very smart on a number of levels, subscribed.
Interesting, I never thought about the bracing being different for metal frames, I also would have just copied the layout for timber doors. Makes perfect sense though, good tip.
I watched the video with a smile on my face knowing that you'll do something unusual yet useful, and you didn't fail me ... beautiful .
😀 Thanks! Glad to hear that!
To get the size of the precision I was impressed with the way You to work. simple for me as a beginner .. 👍
This one gets the full slow head nod. Sweet build.
I see welding that frame in place as a guaranteed way to get all the measurements exactly correct.
These look really great! I never would have thought of building the whole frame first and then cutting it apart. Really slick idea. Thanks for sharing!
Watched again 2 yrs later! Thinking taste might change! Nope ,still an awesome door!
Ha! Thanks!
Fantastic, the light bulb just turned on, you just inspired me.
Videos like this usually attract endless armchair 'experts' telling you how you should have done it. Nice to see none here, just positive vibes....I thought it was great too!
Probably could have been cheaper and easier to use wood for the frame instead o steel.
Sycophants too
I've been searching one like this, and finally found it.
Great approach to buld whole frame first, add hinges and only then cut it apart for perfect fit. Excellent design and work, thnx

Szia.Én most tudtam meg!
I only clicked on the video to see the truck and was pleasantly surprised by the rest of the video. Great job on those doors!
Hahahahaha! Thanks! I have a second channel just about the truck 😉
@@Ollaris I know what you mean, I started a second channel just for my fastback. I j ust put a couple in my watch list for later ;)
Whaaaat? I’ve always wanted one! I need to check out your channel!

@Miserace Well actually it’s exactly the opposite when working with steel. 😄

I’m a little tiny single woman, but this looks SO COOL! I wish I understood what was going on more! Very professional!!
Nice and clean.
Great way of making sure it fits the space. No house or doorway is exactly square.
Kickass. How i love just about everything n will put metal in every thing needed or not doing it
I've been fabricating and welding for 30 years. Very impressive bruh!
Brilliant craftsmanship, as always. If I could give you more than one thumbs up I would!
Thank you! 🙂
How did you lose one of your things? Sorry, couldn't resist. 👍👍
Thumbs. Damn auto-misspell.
That is one good looking portable band saw..
Master craftsmen that was clean AF.

Nice how you combined the man door with the garage door.
Quite possibly one of the most talented makers on YT. Spread the word folks! Awesome work as always!
Thank you very much Zach!
Its very good design and looks beautiful. I can recommend next time when you do frames cut them on 45 degrees. Best regard.
Thanks. No. I find it better this way and it’s also quicker and easier.
WOW - they look FANTASTIC. Very nice job.
Tolles Tor und schöne Mechanik
Danke für das zeigen
Dankeschön!
Very nice. I wonder what impact the thermal conductivity of the steel frame has on the door's 'R' rating.

Thanks a lot John! Solving maybe, avoiding ,not always!
omg i was thinking the same with angle iron , im glad you put a better picture in my head on how it works ! Thank you !!!
Very nice work... from across the pond.
Thank you sir.
Great idea, great way of thinking. I'll use it when I build my shed door. Good luck with surgery. 👊
Thank you very much Lucas!
Impressive skills in design and assembly! Bravo from the USA!
This is ace, basically home made bi-folding doors for a garage 👌🏼 (love the timber used too)
Love those heavy duty construction trainers and the blue tooth welding socks.
Who the hell would downvote this? This is awesome!
Excellent work man!! That's what skill looks like!
I like how one side can be used as a pedestrian door!
Very nice..a true craftsman. Form and function well thought out...
Thanks 😊
Great job, very impressed, I am a 2nd generation door installer, loved your skill and craftsmanship .....PERFECT WELDS TOO

Thanks, yeah I’ve been working on it here and there but haven’t edited the video yet. Hopefully soon!
How ingenious. Loved this video. 👍👍👍
That was cool Sebastian.
Thanks Don!
Well,well done.
Brilliant. Obviously you could do more folds if you want. The limiting factor would be the hinges. I guess you could add a sunken track and wheels.
not in the snow
Hi, lovely job !!! you can move in with your tools , great. thanks . Gus

Yes! Love it! Great design and no nonsense!
I have so many questions! But I am late to the party. IS there somewhere to get a parts list? Where are the hinges from? What size angle iron?
Great design!
Thanks Justin!
Agreed
Great looking doors, Sebastian!
