Thanks so much to everyone for the support. And if you are interested, the Black Friday sale is live until Monday! blacktailstudio.myshopify.com/pages/black-friday
Duuude!!! Great job! 👍...Hardware, Mottled Brass/Pewter...And with No Disrespect intended, Your Eagle-eyed wife can be a Pain in the neck!!
Quick Question: Is that Coating you used suitable for Cutting Boards? I'm looking for a good finish for my cutting boards which I don't have to reapply weekly, maybe not even monthly ^^
hates* (the title)
im sorry. but its really bugging me xd
@@MrSemorphim ...OH HELL NO!! That stuff is toxic Especially the liquid Ceramic...Dude, are you kidding?? The only thing you put on cutting boards is food oil, Olive, Avocado, Grapeseed, Flax, etc...
You make excellent videos but I enjoy your quick wit & remarks! Thank you for being honest
No hardware - your wife noticing that patch was both funny and frightening. The ability to see such a tiny imperfection in the midst of all that other excellent work is a scary power. I pray for you sir...
Yeah, that is disquieting
I yearn for that attention to detail
It was fake. Notice the cut?
@@squidge903 a cut doesn't mean it's fake lol
@@squidge903 it could have skipped 10 minutes of compulsively analizing the door, the wall, the sourroundings... OCD is no joke.
I didn't think I would like the no hardware. I was wrong. I love it. Funniest part of this video was when your wife asked "slow close?" and you're like "yea we don't mess around here" when in fact you didn't even realize you ordered slow close.
Ya did good. The door is beautiful.
Ya man, that’s the only way to respond
Rules for being a husband:
1. Love and respect your wife unconditionally etc etc.
2. Take credit for anything that goes right, because you’ll sure as hell get credit for anything that goes wrong.
I cracked up at that unintentional slow close,sometimes accidents are lucky
@@TheKeithandre and sometimes accidents get names like Matt or Betty
"soft close " not slow close .
I used to have a custom drapery business which included the custom work room. One thing I realized early on was NOTHING is perfect. We had a saying for picky customers, "A blind man would give the world to see that imperfection". Keep that in mind going forward with your amazing, one of a kind, wood creations!
Aim for perfection and settle for excellence 👍💪
Amen to that
Also for those picky clients. There’s Cheap, Fast and Excellent, but you can ONLY pick 2!
So true. Great saying.
Thank you
Wow! Awesome comment in such complementary words! Thank you.
The no show hardware is a lot cleaner looking for sure. Your wife did pick up that patch job very quickly for sure. I thought you did a good job.
LOL...the best part was your wife pointing out the tiny patch !!! That was hilarious man !!! Great job and very clean and simple system.
I blame the dog for getting close to her and pointing it out! Bad dog 😆
I thought that too as she was slowly bending down!! I was like "NOOOOOO!"
I liked how Cam casually walked away 🤦🏼🤷🤣
When Elana stopped and said , "What's that?", I thought she saw the camera. I think it was you dog that ratted you out! She would never have bent down in that exact spot had she not pet him, maybe.
hes gonna have to make another door now lmao
No hardware, it looks cleaner. Boy, your wife does have a sharp eye 🔥 No wonder your finish process is so meticulous 👏
No hardware please. It's not a door in a hospital.
Heh, he had mentioned in past videos that he's like that because his wife has OCD.
@@Briguy1027 oh, sorry, didn't know that
@@CoachKotseba No worries, it's not a big deal.
It looks like garbage
The fact that she chose you, with her ability to see the tiniest imperfections, is a complete compliment.
No its not. He will never be good enough.
@@romandybala He will always be striving for perfection.
No hardware! Awesome. Gorgeous. Functional. Artistic. Decorative. Love the finish and color! She'll get used to the weight before long. Love the patch. Blends well. ❤❤❤
couldnt stop laughing when your wife found the patch and your reaction was to block her out and walk away. you did a great job with the door and patching up the wall and ill definitely be looking into that shop locator if i ever plan to do any custom wood work
This is the first time I've watched one of his videos. Their relationship is amazing lol.
Anyone married knows all about that lol
OCD life!!!!
Walk away is all you can do and not suffer...
I think the patch looks fantastic. It's so cleverly done. Anyone can have knotholes.
I love how excited she was about the soft close, and how quick you were to be like “yeah that was totally planned we don’t mess around” 😂 what a cool door dude I want to make one now
I actually love the barn door concept because of the exposed hardware, it’s part of its charm but I agree it doesn t work with the rest of your home so good job
No they are bad and people should stop using them. They put them on bathrooms and laundry rooms that block no sound or anything cus they hang so far off the wall
I wasn't sure how you would accomplish such a feat. You did a remarkable job & the fact that you put so much effort into trying to accommodate your wife's OCD is sweet. Beautiful door.
I love how proud you are of the drywall...doing something very well that you've never done before is more gratifying than doing something perfectly that you do all the time imo.
Love the No Hardware look. Wife walked past me while watching the video, saw the part with your wife opening and closing the door, said "That's what we're doing."
So, thanks for the extra work around the house.
I am fascinated by your work and the effort you put into that door build. It is beautiful and fits your decor perfectly.
What a gorgeous door and from someone who’s had to do way more mudding than I ever planned on, excellent job with the drywall! Your new door is a work of art, with a graceful balancing of the wood grain on the various pieces. Like you, I’m happier with barn doors in barns and appreciate seeing how others install more elegant door systems. I work with basic tools so it’s fun to see the commercial equipment. Your butterfly inset to mitigate the end split is ingenious, thanks. That’s part of why I watch complex building projects, there’s always something that’s helpful for my basic woodworking and I enjoy improvising with what I have. I find it very true too… planting ideas to germinate in the mind of others can smooth things out a lot. Anxiety can be a tough one, the inner insecurity drives some to feeling a need for perfection. That was a skillful non-engagement response on your part. Thanks again for sharing your skills in showcasing living wood.
No hardware, and that looks fantastic! I love how honest and down to earth you are in your videos. Even though I don't have the same tools, you feel relatable as a creator.
No hardware, I think that it matches your home so much better than the old pantry door and it fits the general theme you have with your furniture and woodworking. Stunning Job!
I love how transparent you are with troubleshooting and mistakes with your materials along the way.
A lot of these diy builders try to be so perfect from even the way they shoot and edit their videos let alone how they frame their designs and functionality of it.
You on the other hand have pro skills, have great tools and utilize them to your best ability and even with all you have going for you, you still demonstrate problems that people will find themselves having when doing their own projects in a similar fashion. The way you find fixes to your problems is so clever and I love the realistic feel of your vids.
Nooo hardware is fabulous!! Fits with your house style 100%. The patch looks almost natural; amazing job. The drywall is a big WOW too! Congrats!🎉😊🎉
No hardware for sure! The door is beautiful and your wife has the eyes of an eagle but a boundless heart for you! And who wouldn’t love a husband with hands of gold and a shop stacked with tools!?! Great job on that door. I’m showing this video to my husband pronto!
Hold on.......what happened to girl power? Oh.... The girl power is to get a man to honey do it! DUH!
I love the new door over the old one. Can't believe she even saw the patch...I would never have pointed it out, just been grateful for the awesome new door...Love your videos and your work is amazing!
Awesome!!! Love the concept.
Thank you for sharing.
As a shade tree woodworker I am always impressed with your work. Being able to over come typical crappy directions is just one more positive arrow in you quiver.
Pete
My favorite part is the opening where you fiercely defend your decision to make it a surprise, then pause and genuinely asking if you should proceed. Your friend immediately encourages you to forge forward despite having thrown some serious pushback at you. Great friendship!
No hardware, love the minimalist look.
That's good filmmaking right there, something I see quite often is Scott throwing in questions to make Cam elaborate on, and perhaps question, his thinking out loud. So that the audience get to hear it and also get involved in the storytelling
Love the
“is that soft close?”
“You know how we do it”
5 mins earlier
“Didn’t even know it was soft close when I bought it”😂😂😂
I’m late to the party but I like both styles of hanging. However, I like yours better bc it’s smooth, solid walnut and it looks beautiful!
Re: The old door: If anyone has ever tried to dust a rough wood anything, you’ll know what a pain it is bc, not only the dust, but also the fuzzies from the dusting cloth get stuck in the wood and it looks terrible. Whoever thought rough wood has ANY place in a home has never tried to clean it!
Re: The filled knot: you did an awesome job of seamlessly filling that knot hole, and should feel proud to point that out. You cd also ask, what wd they rather see? A clunky old knot? Or a seamlessly fitted and smooth replacement? Wood is organic; it has characteristics and you can’t get it without! 😊 TFS & keep up the good work! 😄
Few designs trends I loathe more than the barn door trend. What you did was a massive improvement
No hardware, I can’t believe that your wife found the knot fill in so quickly! Great job👍👍
The patch is nicer than my entire house.
I'd like to believe that the dog was intentionally sabotaging Cam.
Clearly the dogs fault
Not so hard to believe. Every wood has it's own type of unique look and feel. For a person that enjoys perfection any disturbance is easily noticed. IMO, it would of been better with a clear epoxy to gently enhance the original blemish into the look of the wood. Far easier to explain and easier for the viewer to accept without the jarring geometric (not natural) patch. That said, only the wife and he will know about it and have likely already accepted it. For the occasional guest that is rude enough to point it out, don't invite them over again. Who needs that kind of uninvited stress in their life?
@@michaelengelby732 Well said, although you don't need to be a perfectionist to notice, it was a really bad call to patch it this way.
The no hardware fits the style of your home better, whereas the Old Hardware fits the style of our home (farm country I guess you could call it). I love your work and watching you create. Thank you for providing very educational, honest content.
You managed to make a barn door, which was already pretty minimalist, even more minimalistic. I'd second guess myself if I saw this door and would probably think that it's just leaning against the wall. Absolutely love it!!
Amazing transformation!!! We just moved into a 1957 mid century that has been fully remodeled. But there are barn doors on the bathroom and pantry. Am going to replace in the spring and will use this hidden hardware set. Thanks for the tips and tricks! The finish protector will find some applications in my work as well.
No hardware - it looks gorgeous! Also kudos to how you script your videos because you do such a great job at promoting your workshop and products without making it seem like you're actually promoting them! Honestly one of the hardest things to script so 🔥
Love that clean no hardware look! Also the fact that your wife saw that patch is unreal haha
how did she do that, it looks so clean
I did a barn door with not as nice hardware, and I mentioned what you did for your barn door and she wants it now. I look everywhere for ideas and you've shown me a lot. I was kinda freaked out on epoxy pours until I've watched a lot on your channel. So far great success and not that stressed. Thank you!
Great job! I’ve never done anything in my woodshop as a millwright, that didn’t have issues no matter how well planned out they were, so, over the years I’ve became a master of fix it, kinda like you
I’m very OCD myself. The door looks fabulous! I’m sure your wife will always know the patch is there but no one else will every see it! I am an artist and many of my pieces don’t come out as I saw it in my head, but they sell well, which speaks volumes.
Sure.
Please, ffs, don't call 'attention to detail' OCD. Seriously, not funny - people with actual OCD (as in, obsessive compulsive DISORDER) do not experience this as a pleasant trait. Not trying to be woke, it's just, people casually using mental health issues to describe things unrelated to mental health is really, really unhelpful.
@@lucemiserlohn who are you? Dr bedroomprogrammer? I am not attacking anyone, People who are OCD like myself fight this illness daily, as I have aged it has taught me that others don’t appreciate perfection and rightly don’t give a damn. Those of us whom suffer this do talk of our issues, it helps other to understand us and the way we work. Obviously you don’t have these issues, your issues are getting out of your bed. So sorry for you! Don’t ever tell somebody that you don’t know their faults whether you agree or disagree. Thank you for your comment.
@@BirdnanBarry Obviously you a) do not know me and b) none of my issues. You talk a good talk, and everything you said there says "OCD is not his problem". Which was my exact initial point. Anyway, welcome to my ignore list.
@@lucemiserlohn He is not the OCD person his wife whom he was surprising is the OCD person. I am so excited to not have a negative commenting I my post. Have a great life!
I love how you're so used to making tables that you called the door a table a few times haha. Nonetheless awesome work as usual!
@@SaltyBrains I noticed at least three times he called it a table. Funny stuff.
No Hardware has a learning curve, but it's elegant and opens up a whole new genre of customized "barn doors" that don't have to look rustic at all.
I want to see the video of you telling your wife you just spent over $1,000 for a pantry door.
I'm not a fan of any barn doors that have left the barn, but your sleek version w/ hidden hardware is pretty sweet.
It's so annoying, every reno in Australia people are putting in bloody barn doors!
Best part was the wife finding the patch, she truly has a keen eye. It’s nice to see how she can give you honest feedback, remember to be honest too.
I love the door! I hate the barn door look too. Never have liked them in homes. This looks great! No hardware looks clean and elegant. Amazing work!❤
No hardware!
OMG I can’t believe she saw the bottom right away!
Love watching your videos! Thanks for putting them together
There is absolutely no comparison to your master piece vs the other door! One looks like a pantry door the other.... a work of ART!
That intro gave me a flashback to my childhood. My father was a carpenter and I remember coming home form school and there was no kitchen because he decided it was time to remodel it. A few years later, the same thing happened but there was no roof on the house and one of his employees was sticking out of where there used to be a roof. My mother also doesn't like surprises.
idk why but i thought you were saying he blew the roof up off the house first time i read that. Probably because i was watching the part of the video about gas lines
New door is much better looking. You can also hang art on it. I love it. BRAVO!!!!!!
No hardware is a huge improvement and a perfect fit in your home. Well done, your humility and attention to detail made your video so pleasant to watch, I liked and subscribed immediately. Looking forward to learning more from your content.
Thank you and all the best in this new year!
The no hardware is waaaaay better! Absolutely gorgeous final look. I’ve personally always hated barn doors because of the hardware (and I’m not much for the barn aesthetic) but this is by far the prettiest and cleanest barn door I’ve ever seen
Not that I’m capable of this level of work but I’d just call it a sliding slab door.
Hi
@@fjeincayup! But show it to me in 10 years. Bet it wears out!
@@spudth Considering it's plastic and knowing today's plastic "quality" you don't need to count up to 10 years, things tend to break even in one year, "premium" or not same c--p.
Speaking of imagine selling a assembly product without instructions, even the cheapest China store ones have instructions, bad English or not, it's still something, these didn't bother to waste a paper or two to print out actual instructions like what the heck ... Solely on that part I can't take this product or company seriously tell me that they just cashgrab these and move on, and rather bought a different set or even made one myself or hired a craft-person who can make one ...
I love the new door.
I know this is super late but as a drywaller I just wanted to tell you putting joint compound right onto wood (especially load bearing wood) is a surefire way to get cracks, as you know wood moves seasonally and while the wood can bend, joint compound is extremally rigid and brittle. If you do get cracks I suggest cutting a slightly bigger spot and screwing the backing wood 1/2" recessed for drywall and make sure to use fiber tape to help it resist movement.
What- no real dowel and glue?? Lol! I used to work at Woodcraft!i think you did great! Shes just too damn picky!!,
My husband and I have been looking for help with some wood projects. Your website is a huge blessing. Thank you and your whole family may peace be with you.
I like the new hardware. Beautiful job. Thank you so much for the list of shops. I found like 5 shops here in Texas within an hour drive. I will need one soon.
I liked the old door - But the hidden mechanism and the clean look of the new one is awesome 👍
my mom put a barn door on her master bath. I hated it. Looked exactly like theirs. Hardware is an eyesore, I like modern look any day.
@@kraken2844 also the fact that they just made an outlet completely unusable is hilariously stupid to me 🤣
No hardware preferred.
Wife here who would probably also notice the patch…but i also have an equally thoughtful hubby who would move heaven and earth to create something I’d love. So, no complaints.
Thanks for that workshop-finding website!
Glad you didn’t hit a gas line. For a second, I thought it might be the sewer line from an upstairs bathroom!
Funny how you kept calling the door a table. 😂
Such a beautiful demonstration of skill. Im subscribing. Ive been playing with woodworking since i was a child and my grandfather taught me what all of the tools were
Lol she still noticed the patchwork after all that effort. I love it
Felt staged with her reaction but maybe she is just really picky I guess
No hardware.
I felt truly sorry for the man. The woman maybe finished the school with good marks but in spiritual aspects remained undeveloped. She measures success in purely survivalist sense, therefore materialistic and doesn't understand spiritual values.
@@milos.pavlovic I can't tell if this is a comment by a bot or if you actually called his wife "spiritually undeveloped" when they have an eye for detail. Weird take.
@@eikkka Religious people aren't very good at logic.
The new door looks better for your home. I personally like the rustic barn door. It all just depends on the style of your home.
The new door looks like garbage
@@MikehMike01 Apparently you're husband takes out the garbage because you have no idea what it looks like.
@@MikehMike01 Nah it fits with the rest of his home better than the old barn door
@@JoeARedHawk275 maybe the rest of his house is as ugly as this door
That hidden hardware is perfection! I want to do barn doors, but tend to not like the hardware, so now I am inspired. Thanks.
New hardware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love everything about this! It is so nice to see how much you care for your wife. You are both blessed abundantly!
My absolute favorite part of the Godfather pt2 is when Deniro loses his job at the deli to the Don’s nephew and refuses the charity from the owner and can only afford to bring home a single pear! And his wife comments. “Che bella sta pera” (what a lovely pear) and Deniro smiles because he knows no matter what, his wife sees the good. This is what every hard working man wants.
And it is EXACTLY what Cam deserves, but didn't get! His wife better reign in her sh!t, lest she finds herself living the single life she never expected!!
Man spitting some wisdom. I too was a little discouraged when she kind of blasted it, I'm a sensitive soul though.
his wife sounds absolutely insufferable, and i'm astounded someone as high value and as capable as him puts up with such ungrateful attitudes for a single second.
@@johnarmenta2199 Lmao cry more of those salty male tears
Didn't he say she's kind of OCD about patches? She immediately said how much she liked the door and that it was completed in time for the event. I don't think she is putting him down. I think she is just stating what bothers her. I had someone tell me, an adult to an adult, when I staple papers, would I please make sure the corners were more even before I stapled--what? It is the OCD. I bet everyone has at least one pet peeve. He tried his best and put it at the bottom. Hmmn, could he have admitted to a plug he tried hard to conceal and challenged her to find it? Sounds like something I would do.
Love the clean look without the hardware. Beautiful work and I don’t mind patches in the wood. It’s all part of the story.
Gotta have the patches or it's too perfect. Now it has personality!
Old hardware is my choice for my home, for yours, what you created is absolutely your home, Love ❤️ it. You're a true artist. I actually love your patch. It gave your door more character
New Hardware. Definitely. I think the work you did to make the knothole look cleaner was beautiful.
No hardware.
So well suited to the clean, modern look of the room. It's beautiful. And man, your wife has eagle eyes!
Really love watching you solve the problems that you run into with projects. Great content.
i love how you are turning around the wedding ring while you are thinking if it's a good idea to change this door, seems like you unconsciously asking your wife if you should do it 😂
it's a wonderful job as always
No hardware- looks like magic! Great job.
I love barn doors & pocket doors, If I ever own a house I plan on having barn doors for the bedroom closets and pantry.
So, I liked both of the barn doors, however, the one you built clearly was a better fit for the style of your house. Also her spotting the patch that you did was a surprise as big as that door is. 😂
"Make your wife think it was her idea." IS amazing advice indeed. Tired of your wife not deciding where she wants to eat? Tell you you're taking her somewhere, ask her to guess, then take her to where she guesses. Apply that logic wherever. Makes your life easy and gets you all the brownie points.
👉❤️😍👌
That's how I do with cats. You don't order them to come to you. You give them the desire to come to you.
This works for positive women who get excited they are going out. However for women who are pessimists they are always going to guess the place they hate the most and they know you love. So it really depends on the woman.
Old hardware. Why didn't you put the patch on the inside?
@@midnightgamingwithmysticni947 if you know they hate it most, tell them they guessed incorrectly. You should know what your wife likes by this time and plan accordingly.
I'm only a student but I desire to be in the trades and whenever I am working in a schooling class or real life situation I can't stop thinking about how clean and good your pieces look. Your definitely one of my biggest role models!
Love the clean look! Kudos to your wife and her keen eye!!
Love how you give tips for people who are excited, but might be intimidated by the amount of talent, knowledge, and special tools required!
I’m a fan of both old and new hardware, just depends on the overall aesthetic and more importantly that it doesn’t sacrifice function over form. I’m proud of you Cam, you’re thriving and I’m loving watching you continue to hone your skills and share that learning process with us.
Agreed. This door looks awesome but I like the hardware show as well.
I think the difference is the degree of rustic. Hardware is higher degree of rustic and no show is more modern with a hint. Both look good though.
The modern style is a huge improvement on the barn door style. If this was a kit you could buy, I'd certainly look into getting one.
It is quite an impressive look, I will give you that. I wonder 🤔, for a bathroom door, if this style would keep out the smells and the noises? For my next home, shop project, it would be pretty cool to get the hardware for.
OMG that is such a beautiful door! i love it!!!! and i love that the hardware is not exposed.
When I added an upstairs to my 100YO + home I used pocket doors, That said, I like BOTH old (barn door style) (rustic) and your adaptation of the hidden hardware (modern, high profile) .. Your door is awesome and so is it's function.. Thanx for the video.
Old hardware if I HAD to pick but new door is beautiful. I just like the loft feel a tad more. You continue to amaze! (I may have been silently rooting for your wife find the plug... you have to fail at something once in a while)
Traditional barn door exposed hardware is fine, particularly when its on a barn, but I love the hidden hardware indoors. I especially loved your wife's reaction, including the fact that she caught the inlay glitch-fix and loved the door anyway. Hilarious!
Looks fantastic. I am a professional locksmith and don’t like plastic hardware on heavy objects. I would have tried to find metal everything. I also would have considered to put a wood reinforcement behind the drywall and used walnut, oak or birch 1/2 inch dowels at screw points on the drywall drilled and gorilla glued into the reinforcement wood behind the drywall. In as much as the weight of this door is mostly in compression (downward), accidents and kids happen. No one want the door to smash down or pull from the wall because someone fell down into to it from inside the pantry. Basic plastic anchors are a compromise. I don’t use them for any weight bearing purposes. But, the door looks Uber cool. Love the sleek operation and finish.
fantastic. i feel for you in regards to the patch. My wife worked in a hospital operating room for over 30 years. she can tell if a picture is a 1\16 of an inch out of level from a hundred yards. I would never hear the end of it .
New, no hardware. And she misses nothing! I love Walnut and Pecan. The soft closing is a great touch. Thanks again for your posting.
Absolutely stunning! No hardware is the way to go, keeps it clean and doesn't take away for the beauty of the wood itself.
No hardware - first time I see this type of hardware. Looks much better and modern. I have watched a few o your videos and subscribed as well. Thank you for the great ideas and inspiration.
I am a brand new subscriber to your channel. I am also a Residential construction contractor and have never seen a way to mount a sliding door on the face of wall without seeing the hardware. You did a beautiful Job! Also gave me a solution to a client's request. Kudos brother!
What I love about your videos is that you don't sugarcoat the problems you run into along the way, and instead turn it into a teaching and learning opportunity
Absolutely love the NO HARDWARE look. I totally agree, certain houses, log cabin or rustic feel no problem barn door is good. Most of our homes do not fall in that category which is probably why we have pocket hole doors as well. I really like your design. Thanks that was fun.
Thank you for all your hard work. I think you are highly skilled and passionate in your hobby now full time job and that is the best of both worlds. Your finished projects are always outstanding and you are your own worst critic and that is why the quality of your work is so outstanding. This door is just magnificent in my opinion. From concept to conclusion I am very impressed. I have been around projects like this my entire life and I really like your thought process. Job well done sir.
No Hardware.
Excellent outcome. Beautiful door.
I'm known as a perfectionist who will labor long and hard to get an exceptional result, so this effort hits the nail on the head. Unfortunately I lack the resources to have this level of shop space or equipment.
Again..Beautiful work and a great video!
Just one last thing..I've always believed that S4S meant "surfaced" 4 sides as opposed to "sanded".
You are a one patient and good husband. I know so many people and wives that would be so excited for something like this!! I’m trying really hard not to say something I’ll regret, so I’ll just say this: You did fucking fantastic!!
I liked both hardwares!! It would depend on what the homeowners style is. What I liked about this video ( I realize this is from a long time ago) is that I was not aware that there was such a thing as invisibles hardwares. This is so good to know. Thank you for all that you do!!
You have more high end equipment than most cabinet shops. I liked the old door better but I love Walnut. Your craftsmen-ship is impeccable. This video is very informative but impractical for most common woodworkers who get projects done with a black and decker budget. You are blessed for having so much to work with. You seem like a hard working creative nice person. Thumbs up.
All I can say is Great Job and love the no hardware look. She really pays attention to detail! Hope you take that as a compliment, she picked you! 😀👍
😉👍👍👍👍👍👍
That’s kind of like Irish luck… “oh damn, l stepped in dog poop, well… at least l wasn’t wearing my good shoes!”
The best part of being a professional is having someone always holding you accountable for the work. It makes you more aware of any mistakes you can possibly achieve. Awesome door and look. Oh, you deserved the criticism from the wife for telling her you weren't recording her. Lol
@@verfBlacktailStudio nice try
I love the look of the new door. I also really like the old hardware. I’d like to see the two wed, at some point. Thanks.
Old hardware is my preference. However, it totally depends on your decor/design choices. What you did actually looks better in your house. It's really a piece of art when "all is said and done"!
I don't HATE the old hardware, but that old barn door look is SO OVER DONE. Done to death. Done ad nauseam. Overdone. Stick a fork in it done.
So definitely the new/no hardware.
@@idontthinkso666 it works really well in some places and shouldn't be booed in said places
Otherwise however, they are past well done
The old hardware would last forever, that new one is going to fall apart.
@@AntonGully that's how it always is
My fridge is from 1925 and will likely still work in 2125
I prefer the original barn door myself as well, but everyone has their own taste.
Speaking as an apparel designer who enjoys the challenge of "making things work", I LOVE your patch! Your work is gorgeous! I wonder if some day she will grow to appreciate the difficulty and creativity of making such a beautiful patch. It's the process not the "mistake" that is important.
He channeled his inner Tim Gunn for that haha
I love that buffer applied stain ! Great technique .
Definitely no hardware. That door is beautiful as is! I’m more aware of its beauty because we bought and moved into a house in Arkansas 2 years ago. There is this huge, warped barn door all across one living room wall hiding a small office doorway. It was hate at first sight for me. I would dearly love to have this door you made, with the round, perfectly blended inset at the bottom. That wood is gorgeous as is the color of the stain.
I like both doors but for your home style, the new doors works better with the decor. Nice job, I am glad to see people have patients to do the work you do. Love it!
Agreed. Both styles are great. Just depends on the aesthetic of the home.
No hardware. The barn door looks (or is?) mass produced, your new door has a beautiful original custom-made look to it, and the finish is great to look at. Amazing how your wife immediately found the patch! Difficult to meet her high standards, but you are clearly up to the task. Great job!
