Step 1: Buy $10,000 worth of tools. 🤠. I like it!
Yeah okay cause a DIY has thousands in the tools you used to make this possible 🙄Thanks for showing us how you did it though, at least it gives us an idea of what it takes.
Wood glue doesn’t really work when the wood is already primed or painted. Better to use construction adhesive.
Stand to the right of your fence on the table saw. Please 😂
I see alot of houses. You can always spot these.
What are the dimensions of this bookcase door? I’m thinking of making something similar with my Dad that’ll lead to an unfinished sump pump closet; it’ll be installed above the baseboard. The top piece of it will be an arch, trim piece, keystone or salvaged vent hood facade.
That looks pretty cool. I’m skeptical about how much weight it could hold though. Just one tote full of books is quite heavy and that’s not THAT many books 😅
How do I know where to put hinges?
How many different drills do you own?
pls tell me that dead bolt cant vibrate and fall down
I always wanted to understand how the hardware worked and the mechanics of putting together a hidden door. Thank you for a clear, succinct video. Short and sweet. Well done!
Really laughed at the 'OWWW!' at the end. Hooe you gave an interior door handle on itnow as well? LOL
Wow! I’ve been fascinated by hidden rooms and passages myself. if I ever become a homeowner, I’ll hire someone to create and install one for me. Great video!
So cool! Just bought a log cabin style house on 10 acres. Being 23 i have a decent amount of repair and remodel knowledge but your videos are helping me figure out the rest. Definitely plan to use this one down the road!
Great Job. Might just be the best instructional video ever! Bravo!
Not a homeowner yet, but will definitely be doing something like this once I am
I love how you kept the "oww" at
Great video! I was considering making something like this for a bifold closet door behind me that's typically on video, and seems simple enough that I believe I'll try it!
great job..and you certainly know how to make a mess...kind regards from the U.K.
