I said I'd NEVER do an Epoxy River...then I thought of THIS....

- I join the epoxy resin river trend to make DIY double barn doors for my bathroom renovation, but things go wrong. Check out Ariat Work’s BOGO 50% OFF Sale: www.ariat.com/rebar-cotton-st...
As one of the last parts of my abandoned building renovation, I broke the bank for my bathroom barn doors with some gorgeous bookmatched live edge maple slabs. We do some live edge woodworking with the slabs to make an epoxy resin river split down the middle of the two bookmatched slabs to make two barn doors. This is a twist on the river table trend that I have not seen before, and there are some darn satisfying epoxy pours in this one. But, things also go off the rails… will we be able to recover and save the doors? Watch to find out!
Oh, and I also show how to install barn door hardware for the double barn doors.
This project was one of the last loose ends to complete my abandoned building renovation, which means....full (formerly) abandoned building tour is coming soon!

I really love that you showed your frustration in this video and showed us how you persevered through for a beautiful result!
Thanks Brenton!
@@modustrial *_ Go see a Master at making an Epoxy door... he didn't sweat at all!! _* th-cam.com/video/JBlMlPG7tEA/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/6Ga_iiLLI64/w-d-xo.html
@@modustrial I second this. I've had those types of freak outs before! It looks incredible!
yes!! i was just about to post the same comment. I dont care what anyone says there is nothing wrong with being upset when something like this doesn't go as planned. I mean if you are saying fuck for a day and a half, all day long yes there might be an issue haha. but i'll tell you what, you will remember this hurdle every time you look at that gorgeous door!!
Great book for a beginner . th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.
Knowing how to hide mistakes is great advice
In video games, these are "unintended features." ;P
The end result is stunning. Sorry you had to go through some unexpected challenges !
Thanks Nicolas!
@@modustrial no mo awful ire
Not a fan of barnyard doors, but this came together quite nicely. And thank you for including the bad bits. It is nice to see that things don't aways go as originally planned but we learn, we get better and we move on.
Nice build! I made two barns doors and found that they would never stay together nicely when closed. a simple solution was to install magnets along the inside edge of each door. Perfect seam now!
Wow! Those doors are stunning and the absolutely perfect complement to your gorgeous bathroom! I love the repetition of the live edge on the mirror when you open the doors. I just don’t have enough superlatives for this project, Matt. All of it is next-level gorgeous.🌸
Looks amazing. One of your best projects ever (made all the more rewarding by the challenges you had to overcome). I would suggest a thin black felt pad for the closing sides of each door, so that nobody accidentally slams the doors together and damages the epoxy.
Good idea!
@@modustrial You can fit rubber astragals, but on these doors, it would be a ton of work to look good. It really needs something substantial to prevent damage. The power of those doors closing should not be underestimated. Maybe rubber stops with springs on the track. Careful, over time they tend to wear out and allow the doors to slam.
I’ve seen a lot of barn doors, but that is not only beautiful but totally elegant. It fits it matches the bathroom. It’s beautiful.❤
A whirlwind of emotions with this one - but WOW, these are absolutely stunning! Beautiful work😍🔥🔥
Thanks y'all!
For a moment around the start of the video (when you were cleaning the slabs) I thought I was watching one of Cam's videos from Blacktail Studios. 😂
I love how these doors turned out and feel your bathroom went up several more levels in niceness with their addition. 👍
I love how you turned your bathroom so cozy with all the wood. It's like you can seamlessly transition from a cozy bedroom to a cozy bathroom. At first I was thinking how do you keep your bedroom connected to such a huge bathroom, but you nailed it.
What beautiful art those doors turned out to be !!! Amazing 🎉
Thanks Cynthia!
@@modustrial your welcome
I'm glad you showed the bowing issue and your genuine reaction to it - it shows that even experienced people make mistakes! Awesome result in the end. Also, I wouldn't worry about the minor imperfection. You can't see it at all and it's just more evidence that this was crafted by a human and not spat out of a production line. BEAUTIFUL doors!
I appreciate that you kept the frustration, and struggle parts in the video! Not every project goes smoothly all the time. So to feel that with ya, then see you brainstormed to over come made it feel super authentic. Then too see how beautiful it came out was awesome! Great job! You are going to have a beautiful home, workshop, and studio! Happy to be apart of your creation journey!
I really like the way those black handles on the black epoxy look! 👍
Thanks!
I’ve never been this early to comment 😂. I like seeing mistakes that happen because we all know not everything turns out perfectly the first time around. I absolutely love barn doors so I was excited to see the finished product and you did not disappoint. Fantastic job even though it took longer than you anticipated!
Thanks Josephine!
@@modustrial you’re welcome!
This looks incredible!! And as you say, a good woodworker knows how to deal with ‘mistakes’ and hide them!
Wow! The doors are the cherry on the top to the bathroom. Your design style is my favorite. Just stunning! Amazing job!!
Those barn doors are lovely. Great recovery from that breakdown moment though! However even though they mainly serve as barn doors, it still does great duty as (expensive) art 😉
Thanks!
Even though you had a little fumble, your prep and process was spot on for the entire thing, glad it all came together and turned out epic!
The doors are amazing! Really takes an already "wow" bath to the next level. Thanks for sharing your journey!!
Awesome build. The black epoxy and maple look real nice together
Hey mate. This was the first of your bathroom renovation videos I'd run into, now I'll have to go and wacth the rest of them ❤ Cheers, Jesper 🙌🌟🛠
Glad it worked out. Sometimes things don't go smoothly and I wish more channels would keep these mistakes in to show people that what they experience might be normal
Thanks much!
@@modustrial Truly, it's when things go awry that we learn the most.
Your resale value of this home is going to be insane. Luxury is one word for it.
I'm 100% with you on the live edge thing, black is the only way to go. The "will it take make weight test" is one of my favourites too. A stunning set of doors which compliment the rest of the room as well.
Congratulations on the bathroom "s doors . They look stunning , really beautiful . All of pain and effort paid off . The doors really do complete the bathroom . What a job well done 👍
Nice idea with the heated threaded inserts. You really thought this through. And very tricky work to make an epoxy door but you did an amazing job!
I just watched the entire series in one day; you are doing a great job and not only with the house. Thanks for this content, keep going!
That turned out great! Thank you for showing the problems, as well as how you dealt with them. Good stuff. Works as ballast when one of my projects goes sideways.
Nice trick for the threaded inserts into epoxy! Thanks for sharing! Wood warping when working with epoxy is the worst. Your videos are actually a part of what inspired me to start working with epoxy a couple years ago. I've definitely felt your pain!
Hi, It seems that you have a great experience.
I am a student eager to learn about construction work, I'm actively seeking someone in this field who can share their expertise with my student team. Really need insights from you, feel free to hit me up!
I love watching every single video of yours. Every video is very inspiring, and I've been here since one of the first epoxy coffee tables!
Thank you!!
Absolutely beautiful bathroom doors for an absolutely beautiful bathroom. Another brilliant video, well done ! I have followed all your videos and think you have produced an amazing home.
Absolutely beautiful! I also couldn’t agree more about epoxy River tables, they take away from the beauty of the wood but a solid black really complements wood.
Dramatic & super beautiful. Very well done.
A word about wood movement: I have a 4.5" thick kiln dried root slab live edge coffee table with epoxied checking in my living room, mounted in steel channel and it has been stretching and contracting for 8 years now. I'm afraid it's just part of the charm of the medium.
Looks absolutly gorgeous!!!! Congrats for manufacturing thise doors!!!!
What incredible beauty you've created-and in spite of significant challenges! Good for you for finding your way through. The end product is simply gorgeous. The wood grain so richly contrasts with the black epoxy, wow, nice choice there. I love how the doors provide the whole space with grounding and balance. I didn't know it needed anything more till I saw the whole thing put together with the doors installed. I mean, the bathroom was dang beautiful before, but now it's a world class environment!
And hey, it all coordinates so nicely with the color of your new doggo buddy. Tex, is it? What a cutie! 🤎
It's amazing that you're on the final stretch with your renovation. Looking forward to the full tour. 👍
finished product is incredible. way to push through. love the black hardware against the black epoxy. perfect color combination and really completes the look of the bathroom. time for a live edge piece in the master suite to tie it all together!
Thank you!
Those are the most beautiful barn doors I've ever seen, love 'em so much awesome work!
a tip I saw someone else use, if you're using a fully opaque resin color, you can fill some of the inner part with simple plywood, and just make sure that the top 30% or so is resin, you can use less than half the epoxy in this way. it does depend on the resin and color, but with a simple test pour, you can figure out if it'll work for your mix or not.
the sweary part is my experience of DIY, and it's great to see other experienced people going through it! thanks for sharing.
Everyone has those moments! I'm always just make sure to direct the anger at inanimate objects :)
Great job! Those are some awesome doors and a perfect finish to the master bath.
Glad to see it doesn’t always go perfect (as any time I try anything it goes wrong 5 times before I get it right!) thanks for posting it
Thanks Mark! Things never go as planned it seems... it's all about solving problems and making it work :)
Wow, amazing work and beautiful result!
Those door are amazing. Really blends the two rooms. Love the black on black with the handles
FANTASTIC - love the black with the wood grain! Well done.
Wonderful work ❤ given me a few ideas for a farmhouse rebuild I’m working on
Awesome end result! As others have commented thank you for adding in the mistake to help us learn and understand not everything is flawless as it seems when watching tutorials on the internet
It looks absolutely incredible!!!
This looks freaking awesome! Worth every bit of frustration and stress
This is so cool! Amazing results !
Great to see you back!
These are really beautiful, I think I will consider this for a future build.
As always great to see the whole process, problems included! Looks awesome and we’ll worth it in the end 👍
The mat black on the epoxy and handles gives it such a high-end finish. Great job...and cute pup
Awesome! Such a good job, and thanks for showing us your trials and tribulations! Love it!
They look awesome. I love the black on black with the handles to the epoxy. Looks clean
Of all the times I've watched videos with melamine frames, I have NEVER seen someone check for leaks in advance! Great thinking!
Just WOW! They look amazing. You are very talented!
Good save. Those doors finished off great. Congrats on one more step forward.
Beautiful work mate. Appreciate you letting us see your freak out. I’ve been there myself!
So glad you uploaded! I was waiting for it for a while!
Thanks Dylan!
BROOOOO!! The frustration and headaches were worth it. Those doors are next-level badass.
Angry Modustrial is scary! :D
I try not to let it out, but figured I shouldn't try to hide it...
@@modustrial hey we all get frustrated sometimes but you got past it and thought things through.
Amazing job! The contrast between the wood and the resin is stunning... in my opinion, if the bedroom wall were dark, it would look much better. Cheers from argentina!
Those doors are amazing. really finishes this look up.
Absolutely beautiful, well done!
Awesome mate, such great work and problem solving when you hit a snag. Thanks for the great content.
Beautiful. Another project to add to the list of things I want when I have my own house!
That's just awesome looking doors!!!! Love it!!!
Got to say that is absolutely superb. The whole bathroom is amazing. Awesome job and great eye for detail and style!
Those Doors look PHENOMENAL!!! NICE WORK!!! 👍
That which does not kill you makes you stronger! They turned out amazing! Absolutely stunning! I thought for sure you were going to have some leaks when you had to put them back in the molds.
Thanks! Yea, I was nervous but fortunately no leaks
Great Job! It looks incredible.
So glad you were able to save them. They look awesome and that black epoxy was a solid choice!
Absolute fire! Such a good look. And the transition from the door to the bathroom! 10/10
Wow! It’s sooooo beautiful!!!
What a finish! Love it, really makes it pop. It's crazy!! Keep the hard work buddy
stunning!! tasteful use of epoxy, i totally agree with you on the sparkly crap out there
The build has been beautiful can't wait to see more
thank you!
Amazing design, love the door. And your dog is really cute too!
Definitely the most impressive doors that I have ever seen for a bathroom! Very nice!
Gorgeous doors, lovely doggo ❤❤
A glimpse of the pooch! 🐾 good to see you back on screen 👍
I’m very relieved that the doors worked out after all your trials and tribulations.
Experience can be a very hard teacher. Well done 👍
That is one hell of a cool bathroom. Excellent work!
From two toilets in one room to this! It’s fabulous!
Just saw the beginning of the video. I appreciate that you are showing that not all projects are perfect
Wow! Thats the most beautiful doors i have EVER seen😍😍😍😍🥳🥳
Thanks Malin!
Worth all the frustration and agonizing - the final result is spectacular!
Dude, the end result looks so good that it propabably was worth all the stress... Wow! Congratulations!
the end product looks great! but the fact that the wood twisted like that is pretty easy to explain. The wood is working 24/7. and if you dont have anything in the slab that holds it in its place, you have to expect that it is going to twist. Especially when you are building something like that in winter, at latest you are going to have massiv trouble in the summertime
Wow it turned out really nice !
Those doors are incredible! Absolutely gorgeous!!
thank you!
Looks awesome! Great job!
Wow, it turned out phenomenal 👏🏻
Wow, that looks incredible. That ties things together so perfectly, too. It was worth all the headaches.
Thanks!
Great work! If I remember what Blacktail studio does with slabs this big, we always routes out a C channel in the back to protect against cupping or warping. Might be something to consider on the next one.
yea he does but he's also usually making tables where you can hide that c channel on the bottom. here it's a door where both sides will be visible at some point. i'm not sure how c channel would interact with epoxy but one possible solution could be routing c channel slots in the top and bottom of each door, then pouring black epoxy on top of it so you'd basically have black epoxy stripes going across the back of the doors. the tricky thing about that is that it all happens before you cut to final dimensions so you would need to get them in straight lines so you could match that later.
Respekt to your skills and especially to your mindest. That an awsome job. I love the design. Congratulations from Germany.🎉
