I bookmarked this for later! Im doing all new doors in a really shitty old house.
It's a challenge to get things perfect when there are old, bumpy, uneven walls. Try to get things nice on the hinge side first, then deal with the other side as best you can. Thanks for watching.
@@askillthatpays i kept looking for new door/jamb combos cuz i thought it was gonna be too much to take on, but after watching several howtos, im thinking it may really be worth saving the old doors. The original jambs were pretty thick, so im going to try and install a new 2x4 on the hinge side to plumb the wall up.
Man you are a master craftsman! I love your videos as a beginner carpenter. A lot of good tricks that take years to learn.
Hey, that's great to hear. You don't want to see the work I did when I was starting. LOL. I'm glad I can share some tips. As long as I've been doing this, I still learn new things and appreciate all who share here. Thanks for watching.
Thanks!

Great tips and craftsmanship.
That's very kind of you to say. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it
Good work. Thanks for uploading!
You're welcome. I'm happy to share my knowledge to help others, and thanks for watching. I truly appreciate it.
Nice simple to the point video and good craftsmanship. We are renovating a manufactured home and have two 8.75" deep door openings on a wall where the different sides of the house were attached together so I will have to make my own frames. Do you have a type of wood to recommend or avoid? Frames will be painted
That's an exciting project. Congrats. Avoid MDF as it's too bouncy. The inexpensive knotty pine is too uneven and hard to finish. For door frames, the best options are "primed finger joint pine." Very clean, straight and 3/4" thick and it comes primed white. Also "select pine." More expensive and unfinished but very clean and straight with no knots. Ideal if you're going to stain or clear coat. If you want to spend some money, Poplar is the least expensive hardwood that's very clean and straight. Those are all typically available in 1x10 which would be 9.5" wide and you''d have to rip it to 8.75. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Great job 👏
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! Just what i needed. Just curious, what type of limber do yoy use to make the jamb?
I get primed 1x6 pine at depot or Lowes. It's very clean and straight. Thanks for watching.
Thanks brother make sure to take care of those hands get some nice new gloves! Those had a long life it looks like 😂
Tell me about it. I have a box of bandaids in cars, kitchen, gym bag, bathroom and tool box.. Just when everything heals, I get a new one. All good though. The canvas of life. Thanks for watching.
Great video! I have some solid wood doors I want to reuse and this was really helpful.
What was involved in moving the lower hinge out? Did you have to redrill the holes for the hinges in the jamb?
When moving the lower hinge on the jamb, I just take out the screws on the middle hinge, then move the lower hinge just a bit like an 1/8th or 1/4" and simply put the point of the screw in the new location while holding it in place. Once it bites, that enough to hold the new position and test. Thanks for watching.
Great video and explanation. I’m glad I came across your video, as I’m looking to replace my bifold panty doors with a regular door. The outward swing prehung doors are very expensive and I was hoping that I could make the frame out of 1x6 and hung a door. What would be best way to get this done? What hardware would I need? Thank you!
Glad I could help. What you need to do is explained exactly n the video you just commented on, but I've another video here that shows even more. You need jamb stock, 2-3 hinges, lock and stop. Good luck and thanks for watching.

@@askillthatpays thank you!
information rich video. Just moves too fast with terms unfamiliar to a beginner. Make a similar video for beginners.
Don't let the jargon get in the way. Turn off the sound and just watch. I really can't explain it any simpler and keep in mind that doors are not simple. To do this sort of work requires a base knowledge of carpentry and some people simply aren't ready. I believe anyone who truly wants to, can learn this. Thanks for watching.
When you say "jambs" you mean the casing, yay or nay?
No. Jambs and frames are the same. Casing and trim are the same. A jamb or frame is the typically 3/4" thick material into which the door is installed. The casing or trim is the decorative moulding that goes around the installed jamb. Great question. Thanks for watching.
