Legitimately one of the coolest projects I've seen. I'm building my work from home office into my guest room closer and want to hide it all if we have guests staying with us so it's not so ugly but don't want big sliding closet doors getting in my way while I work and this is perfect. Now let's see how well I can build some 80" tall tambour doors haha. Great explanation and demonstration!
Great video! Would've liked to see how you cut and chamfered the slats for this, especially how you prevent breakout with the slats being such small dimensions.
Liked and subscribed. I’m going to definitely use your zero clearance fence idea . I just clamp a piece of wood to mine , but the clamps in the way . Far to easy to get some left over mdf and do what you did
@@BiggMo Nah. It was clearly "off" and I spent the next minute or so looking at it trying to figure out what I was getting wrong. Easier (& honest!) just to edit in a little graphic "We put the tape wrong here" and carry on.
Is there a reason people don't do full size doors in tambour? I have a space in my home that I think a full size tambour door would work great but I can't find one to purchase anywhere.
Thx for the video. When you installed the tambor doors, I noticed that at the bottom of each slat of wood there was what appeared to be a "rabbet cut" to get door to work better. When and how did you make the rabbet cut and is there rabbet cut on the top of slats? Thx again Bruce
I want to make tambour door like these (sliding horizontally) for a cupboard 100cms high. Is there a possibility that the door will be too heavy to move along the track? Whats the highest I can make a tambour door without worrying about it not moving?
Put a wall where you said this weird opening. On both sides of the staircase. put a door swing inward into the room. But if you want to be unique about it. You put the walls in the same spot. This is old technique that people used to use on oldfurniture. Here's a TH-cam Channel that shows you how to make it. Basically, it's a quarter round of pieces. Of wood. You glue them to a piece of heavy duty canvas. You put groove in the top and the bottom where the door is going to go. And stop. m.th-cam.com/video/Vo8NODBKDJc/w-d-xo.html#searching

great work

Yes. I have basic skills and tools and wonder how to craft slats that are the same size without breaking them
Very interesting, never seen one made before. Very clear and easy instructions, fantastic video

Very interesting. Thank you...
Good clear instructions, thank you. I will now have to find a reason to build one for myself.
Fantastic video !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the knowledge
Excellent informative video.
So beautiful
Fun project with the kids thanks
Great video ! Thanks for sharing.
5:19 Tape on your right misplaced and you fixed it off camera. Might be helpful to others to mention verifying tape placement before proceeding.

The tape on his right never moves?
@@kylerobinson2084 The tape has been moved later in the video. The tape is misplaced at 7:02 and correctly placed at 7:03.
Made it look so easy I wanna try it!!
Loved this! It's given me hope I may well be able to solve my tricky problem Thanks so much
Thank you so much for this video.
Excellent! A very instructive video, thank you, can't wait for an opportunity to make one.
It looks great thanks
Very interesting 👌
Excellent video!

Weight probably. Too much friction with the weight would make it hard to slide.
@@blaketracy4377What if we use rollers or bearing to support the weight and reduce friction?
Have you thought about making your own now that you saw how it's made? I'm sure you'll be great with power tools as you are with make up😊
brilliant video. Very helpful
Would there be any restrictions or problems with making the door 4 foot high?
Thx for the video. When you installed the tambor doors, I noticed that at the bottom of each slat of wood there was what appeared to be a "rabbet cut" to get door to work better. When and how did you make the rabbet cut and is there rabbet cut on the top of slats? Thx again Bruce

How did you make the mirrored groove?
When it comes time to pull it out of the rack I wonder if rolling it up on a dowel would be easier.
Can this be made bigger? 180x150cm?
Sorry if you said but how deep is the channel that it rides in?
Would you make a set of doors to order?
Tambour in French means drum
How wide and thick are the slats?
You never showed how to make the slats, width, height or chamfer/roundover.
He move blue tape 😅
