Did y'all know we have *4 channels* now? This main one, plus: 🎮 Evan and Katelyn Gaming th-cam.com/users/evanandkatelyngaming (us playing games and chatting, enhanced by epic editing and a heavy dose of memes) 🎙️ Evan and Katelyn Podcast th-cam.com/users/evanandkatelynpodcast (chatting about life, TH-cam stuff, and playing games you can play along with) 😹 Evan and Katelyn Too th-cam.com/users/evanandkatelyn2 (still figuring this one out 😂)
Why do you big TH-camrs always need multiple channels for your content? Why can't you just separate your content into playlists on just one channel? This just makes it even harder for smaller TH-camrs to get noticed.
Incase anyone was suspicious of their shopping methods I can verify that they really do shop at Lowe’s. It was really nice to meet y’all today! - Random Lowe’s employee / new fan
If anybody ever asks me "Why get married?" I will direct them to any one of your videos. Most couples can only hope for 1% of the teamwork the two of you display. Synchronized Sanding! Olympic level Curling style glueing! and Oh Em Double Effin Ghee those cat paws... I keep thinking those are your actual cat's paws LOL
Aw haha thank you so much!!! We're practicing for the Couple's Maker Olympics so gotta keep our glue curling game on point 😋 Glad you like the cat paws as much as we do!!!! 😹
They laugh together all the time. I wonder if he considers her the funnier one. He is funny too but I'm thinking he thinks she is the funniest. They have each other in stitches all day. :)
I honestly can't stop watching this channel now just because the two of them are so damned hilarious together. Its the fact that one does or says something off, and the other is immediately laughing. Like, I thought my wife and I were a pretty good team until I saw this. Keep it up you two!
I find it amazing that you guys don’t kill each other after every project. Most couples can’t even make an IKEA shelf together without almost breaking up lol
I built a table from scratch with a new GF’ After we finished she says… look at that we didn’t even yell at each other’ What she doesn’t know is after she left I re did all she messed up 🤣
8:00 was me as a housepainter when I finally gave a woman an honest answer about her 10 color swatches in variations of beige. She didn't understand at first and I was like "you can't tell when it's on a 2x2" square, but once this covers your entire living room you're gonna realize it's pink. Most of the time I would just say "if you like it I love it, I'm gonna put it on and make it look nice and then leave, you're the one that has to live in it." Of course that led to me having to repaint the same bathroom three times because it wasn't just the right shade of yellow.
WTH is this?! How have I not seen this episode until now??! I've seen every episode of your show except for this!! I love you two. You really are the gift that keeps on giving.
this is the video that gave me the confidence to remove and try to fix a doorknob. i mean you guys made it seem so easy to remove and reinstall (it wasn’t even the point of the video!), and while my door was stuck closed and locked for a day i eventually got it to work! your videos work in mysterious ways :-)
They said it was a cheap door. I know the ones in my house are basically hollow. So they probably weren't able to actually cut into to the middle of the door.
Love it. It really changed the focal point of that wall and brought out a different tone in the wood. I realize the pictures were different times of the day, but it still made a subtle difference in the kitchen palette. Great stop motion too :).
Thank you Scott! We've never been crazy about our cabinet color but I think you're right, this brought out a different tone! Glad you like the stop motion too!!
HDTV was on all weekend at my work and I could not stop thinking that you guys should have a show on there. You are so much more entertaining and you also make projects much more accessible to normal people.
I like the design but wow you put a ton of work into it. I just used the 4x8 sheet of plywood and cut it to the door size. Then adhesively bonded it to the door and used a router to create the slotted pattern. Cheers!
Good job guys. A few pointers: 1. Purchase a sheet of foam board insulation to use as a spoil board. Your work is fully supported, as well as largely non-slip. Use this spoil board for project after project. Replace it when it's falling apart, which should be quite a long while provided you set your blade height to just clear the material thickness. I use this on literally every project. 2. "Clamping" could've been achieved with scrap lumber, sheet goods, etc. Simply place the scrap on top of the faux door front and weight it down with anything handy. As an aside, since the plywood is thin and not structural, clamping isn't actually necessary. Letting the glue set for a couple of hours would suffice nicely. 3. A chisel and hammer would've make quick work if notching out the hinge-side faux stile. Lastly, and this is just personal preference, I would've installed new brushed nickel hinges to match the door lever and adjoining kitchen hardware.
Thank you for the tips! Definitely need to get our hands on a waste board. The handle actually is the same level of sheen on our kitchen (it just might not have come through in video form). Thanks!
I haven't even checked your video list and don't know exactly what your channel is about but this was so well done and ya'll have such a warm happy charisma I had to subscribe! Great editing too!
I love that the Kobalt tools are finally getting into the TH-cam content maker space. I don't think I've seen anyone else using them yet. I use everything in their 24v line and I love them.
I never plan on doing this ever in my life, but watching you two do it was so much fun! You just got a new fan. Hope you guys'll inspire me to be somewhat more handy!
From Egypt and I love it!! Good job. I just have a question cause am not an expert, how does the door thickness not affected after installing an additional 4mm of plywood sheet or whatever thickness of plywood you used. How it still flat with wall after increasing door thickness?
Only because i've watched so many of these kinds of videos. First you'll notice that they only did the plywood on the outside. If they did it on the inside they would need to remove the stops and move it back 1/4" Now it's not perfectly flush anymore either but because trim is usually about 1/4" or more it's much less noticeable but it doesn't line up with the door jamb anymore. Still is a good way to give a good update even if it's not perfect it's much cheaper than buying new doors.
This is the very first video I just randomly happened upon from you guys and I just wanted to say that 1. You two are legitimately and undeniably cute/adorable! 2. This video....a project video, was actually fun to watch!!! Keep on killin' it!!
Great idea! A couple of tips. you can use a pin nailer to attach the diagonal pieces along with the wood glue. secondly, your paint sprayer has a knob that allows you to turn the paint spray vertically or horizontally. i think you need another spray coat because I can still see the spray patterns...But still a great video and funny as always. Sorry if I sound picky...Lol
i love watching these kinds of videos. years ago i build my own dresser out of thick sturdy wood (forgot the name of it) and to this day i'm still using it. i loved creating the entire design and building it. ofcourse i had a little help of a teacher but i made it all on my own. i'm so proud of it! and i want to do it all again! i want to build more, but i'm not in school anymore and i don't have any money/room to have anything at all
Amazing video y'all. We have the same type of doors throughout our whole house and I think we're going to try the same thing! Thanks for the inspiration!
Actually you just need a couple basic tools for this - probably a couple hundred dollars max, but if you're gonna start making things, it's an investment that will last across many projects
I've been struggling with door face ideas for garage cabinets. Go metal? Laminate? Sleek and flat!? Mission style? I love this look! It's a bit of old and new. I think I'm running with something along these lines. Thank you both!
Great project! Thanks for sharing. Just a note - on using the hole saw for the door hole, if anyone does not have the perfect size hole saw accessory, just use the flush trim bit on your small router. thanks for the vid, looks good.
Thank you so much! Definitely transformed the whole space more than we expected. Maybe there are some things you can do in a smaller space? We started out working on our apartment balcony with one toolbox worth of tools 👍
Evan and Katelyn coming back at you again with a great project! 😍 I don't even a builder but I really want to do it now! Hehe Edit: Also gonna love the montage mode 😂
Love the dual sander action! And the glue assist! Total teamwork! Need more flip flops!! STAT! This is such a great upgrade! I love how this really makes a difference in the space! I think I see a fix up to my boring bedroom door in the near future!
Hahaha flip flops = shims in a pinch! The new door really does make the whole space look better, it had more of an impact than expected. Totally recommend it if you wanna tackle a weekend project!
idk if I'm replying a bit too late and you've already found out about these, but the angle of the plywood is 45 degrees. Half way to 90. Spray painter should be turned 90 degrees for more paint to be applied at the same time. It eases the work process. The tip of the sprayer can be turned, so they don't have to turn the sprayer itself 90 degrees.
A router has a very different cut look than the method they chose. This way there's no rounded corners (though you could just chisel those out straight).
The level of confidence. Cutting a wood board on a wood table and not cutting the table. If it were me I would sliced my table in half and then just contemplate life.
I like Lowe's. Great prices and they Actually remember IN THEIR COMPUTER that my dad is a veteran, and give him the discount without him having to show the card! true patriots!
@@EvanAndKatelyn The 10% veteran discount had saved me a bundle! The other guys honor active duty and retired military. Just not veterans who weren't "lifers". Consequently, Lowe's gets the vast majority of my business.
This is a super cute project, out of curiosity how much of that paint did you use? I am wondering if it would be better to buy a smaller tin / testers? (38 dollars seems like a lot to spend on paint to me)
Hahaha yeah we didn't use much at all. It was our first time using a paint sprayer and we didn't want to get multiple paint cans and went overboard by a big shot. I'm sure a paint sample and a brush would have covered it fine and reduced the cost by a lot.
@@EvanAndKatelyn For a project requiring more painting, try a HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) sprayer. All the same principles of an airless sprayer apply, however, the efficacy of material application is *much* greater. Applying paint with an HVLP sprayer, to me, is more satisfying, the result is superior to that achieved with an airless sprayer, there's *much* less overspray, and the costs are lower since more paint, stain, etc. ends up on the piece bring covered, rather than the surrounding area, not to mention in one's lungs.
$38 bucks is cheap ass paint imo. Also buying a quart is usually over half the price of a gallon. 4 quarts = a gallon. So just buy the gallon in case you use over 1 quart. Nothing sucks more than spending the same price for half the paint.
I'll be honest. The thumbnail looked like you covered the door with black vinyl. I clicked because it still got my interest. I was pleasantly surprised by how high end it actually looks! Really great job!
Thanks! I'm pretty sure it could have been done even cheaper, but we wanted to be honest with what it cost us. A sample paint container and a brush would have reduced the cost by a lot
Great project. A little tip that I've started using: instead of wood filler, a little bit of sheetrock ready mix. It only works for painted projects, but it dries fast and sands easily. Heck, if you time it right, a damp cloth or paper towel will keep you from having to sand.
A consumer-level DIY in this one (which is needed, DIY-ers vary in interests and skills) but shown nicely and in a funny way. I've enjoyed watching it. Thanks fir the video! :) Keep up the good fun. :)
They didn't actually need the spacers at the end. If pieces are cut appropriately they would move from where they belong but if they wanted to marke sure cause of random short cuts then just cleaning after they press out any paint, adding the other board and removing would've sufficed.
id love to see yall tackle a fun DIY litterbox room for joob! something stylish and fun, yet out of the way ! yall always have such a pleasing aesthetic to every makeover that you do :)
I get annoyed when people dismiss this cause "you need a whole workshop". Most people who own a home (renters hardly will upgrade a door anyway) will have some sort of power tools, like a drill and some sort of saw - and if not, they will eventually need one anyway. A circular saw doesn't even cost much.
Including, atleast here in sweden, a table top saw can cost anytime from 6000-25 000coronor. In USA dollars, ca 600 to 2500 dollars. I asure you, few, especialy fanilies with kids and or students, has that much money on hand to lay out on such impeovements. However i do agree with your, do it yourself agenda. It is True that you can do allot of 🕺 on your own, but always double check with your landlord unless you own The house yourself.
@@appolonia2132 A circular saw or a jigsaw costs like 400-600 SEK in Sweden, so no it's not expensive. If you can't afford that, you have no business buying a house.
Pretty sweet....good work, and you guys seem like you're living life, having fun, and you are fun too. Since I'm a bit on the lazy side, I'd be tempted to try to get the same effect with different shades of paint, and a little making tape. You'd edge me out on the finished product, but I think my idea would give a nice look too.
That's definitely an option! We cut them into strips because we wanted the grain texture to show through the paint a little bit so it would look like more of a solid door, so we needed the grain going in the direction of the boards
For us this seemed easier than trying to add faux texture. I actually think that would be good content too. Just not the way we decided to take it. Nothing wrong with it though! 🙂
I will not be doing this project BUT the door is so beautiful so I had to watch! Most of all, love the editing. It was clever, witty, and I’m sure it took a lot of time to edit (maybe as long as creating the door itself?)! I was entertained. 😁
Great job guys. In the future if you have a spacer or caul that you have to use during the glueing process but have that same fear of it being glued while it dries, try wrapping it in packing tape. Just the clear regular old packing tape. In your case all 6 sides. I have used this before with great success.
Great Video! I wanted to try something like this but haven't finished other projects yet. One thing I had you would mention is that your pantry door swings out into the kitchen, making it easier to update the look as you showed. Most doors that people will be wanting to try this on are going to be bedroom doors or closet doors which swing into the room/closet. It may seem obvious to some DIYers, but folks need to realize there is a piece of door trim that will be in the way if you make the door thicker. I haven't tried this yet, but hoped you would give us all some expertise in this area. I don't mean to sound too critical, I guess I just hoped you might cover that so I could learn from your experience. Thanks for the fun and helpful video!
That's a great point! And this is actually our first time doing something like this so unfortunately we don't have any experience doing a project like this on a door that swings inwards... maybe there's a way to route out the trim? Not sure. Wish we could be more helpful! Also, our closet doors actually swing outwards not inwards in all the rooms in our house... Must be because we have small closets! 😋
For my wood putty I would do one of two things if not both. I will put a little bit of water on the top when I am done with it between projects.. that keeps the oxygen away from the putty itself and doesnt dry. i will also put it in a plastic back and seal it up to keep it fresh. Oxygen the enemy. Happy building.
Pretty cool, pro tip, when installing doors you could use a screw driver, or dowel (if worried about scratching floor) as leverage instead of your flilp flop. Also, you could have used a trim bit in your router and ran it on top of the door to trim out where the hinges went instead of the awkward way you done it, clean up with a wood chisel. I love watching your guys videos, the dynamic is amazing
That turned out great. Really like the look. I wonder how a clear coat and black bottom layer would look. You guys should start a collection of cauls for future projects.
It seems like a great idea. I have often thought of ways to upgrade a lauan door. Unfortunately this looks good from a distance but when you get close and look at the reveal and fit of the door you are going to see a complete disaster. 1. The door will now be 5/16" thicker than the standard 1 3/8" interior door and be protruding out of its frame. 2. The 3" hinges that are designed for 1 3/8" are likely to bind up now because the hinge sets farther back on the door by 1/4"-5/16" depending on how well the glue was clamped. 3. Lauan doors are lightweight and reinforced with cardboard. The rails and stiles are generally made from masonite. Best case scenario made from fingerjointed pine. The issue is if you start adding weight to the door skin you run a risk of the door structurally failing, due to the skin being 5x as heavy. I do love the idea, but for a house as nice as that one I would have built an entire custom door, or used a solid core door with a custom rabbet frame to allow for the door being 1 11/16" thick. Of course you aren't going to be able to accomplish either for 66$. Not trying to be negative or a hater but I've built and hung thousands of custom doors. This type of custom work can look professional or it can look like it was done for 66$.
That looks fantastic! Very high end. Plus, I have the Flexio myself and it's a beast -- so cool that you can spray latex paint without any thinning at all without paying an arm and a leg for a super high end turbine. Can't spray lacquer with it... but nothing is perfect. Worth noting -- you CAN buy door handles that work with much thicker doors. I made a theater door that's a full 3" thick and was able to get a door handle that worked with it. On the downside, it a) wasn't cheap and b) definitely wasn't available at Lowes or any other home improvement store.

Can you make me a small pantry door?
You can boil the hinges and the old paint rubs off with a Scotch Bright.
4 channels of the same crap? Where's the logic in that?
Why do you big TH-camrs always need multiple channels for your content? Why can't you just separate your content into playlists on just one channel? This just makes it even harder for smaller TH-camrs to get noticed.

Me too!

Ahhh i miss these home DYI videos 😊
this is a-door-able ;)
Heh heh heh heh 😁😁
(Gary plays drums for the “Ba Dum, Shh”)
😞
Spray paint your hardware gold.. Look super sleek and match.. You guys are fun to watch. Happy u found each other!!
You can spray the door with CA accelerator and put the CA on your strips that way it will bond almost instantly. Another fun video, Thanks!
Dunno why we didn't think of that, we live the accelerator!
I haven't even checked your video list and don't know exactly what your channel is about but this was so well done and ya'll have such a warm happy charisma I had to subscribe! Great editing too!
Aw thank you so much, that means a lot to us! Primarily on our channel we make stuff together (all sorts of stuff) 😁
Love seeing couples working together! Great channel!
Thank you! Working together is the best 💪

Would be an interesting look to have painted the door then add the painted planks so you had a contrasting color in the lines.
I never plan on doing this ever in my life, but watching you two do it was so much fun! You just got a new fan. Hope you guys'll inspire me to be somewhat more handy!

Keep on killin' it!!
Thank you so much! We hope that we can make videos fun whether they're a practical project or something totally goofy :)

That's awesome! Maybe there's a maker space near you so you can get back into it?
Amazing video y'all. We have the same type of doors throughout our whole house and I think we're going to try the same thing! Thanks for the inspiration!
You should definitely give it a go - good luck!!
Snap! Just 16 seconds into the video and I'm already completely sold on the product. Man, does it look good!
Thank you so much! Glad you like how it turned out!
Those are some sick scene transitions at 10:28 !
Thanks! Just put tape on the floor where our tripod was and tried to do the same steady pan with each 😁
You 2 are so funny... it's nice to see couples who build and have a lot of fun in the process... great job.
Thank you so much!
First time i watched you guys and you make diy so fun and not as serious as some others you have fun with what your doing nice job keep it up..
Thank you so much! We're no good at being serious 😋 Glad you like the channel!
Nice video! its cool how a change like this can change the whole look of a room. Also nice to see Sandy and Dusty starring in a video.
It really did change the look of the room, more than we expected! Haha Sandy and Dusty were the stars of the show. Well them and the Supervisor
I love the modern look that the door has. Another great video from E&K
Thank you so much!
rewatching all of ur videos and in my opinion this is the first real e&k video
$66 and $2000 in power tools
Actually you just need a couple basic tools for this - probably a couple hundred dollars max, but if you're gonna start making things, it's an investment that will last across many projects
Start a small business. Sell $200 worth of stuff to friends then write the tools off on your taxes. Free government tools.
And time and labor.
Yes, nice vid, but nice clickbait..
Yeah, you'll need tools to do a home improvement project. Who knew?
I've been struggling with door face ideas for garage cabinets. Go metal? Laminate? Sleek and flat!? Mission style? I love this look! It's a bit of old and new. I think I'm running with something along these lines. Thank you both!
Thank you!! I think it would look great scaled to cabinet size!
I just can’t get over the fact that you guys are only at 100k!
We can't get over the fact that we're over 100k! Excited to see what's next for us though 😀
Just to let you know that they are over 200K now after only six months.
Over 300k After 10 months 🎉
After 11 months 409k
after a little more than a year 710K
Great project! Thanks for sharing.
Just a note - on using the hole saw for the door hole, if anyone does not have the perfect size hole saw accessory, just use the flush trim bit on your small router.
thanks for the vid, looks good.
That looks really good. With the door alone it made the before and after shots look more modern. Very cool! Wish I had space to do stuff like this.
Thank you so much! Definitely transformed the whole space more than we expected. Maybe there are some things you can do in a smaller space? We started out working on our apartment balcony with one toolbox worth of tools 👍
Love how tiny investments can mak e a huge difference !! i think im going to make a video like this soon!
Thank you! It really did change the look of the whole space
Simplicity is the thing that attracts me more, so keep going, we support you guys
Thank you so much!
Evan and Katelyn coming back at you again with a great project! 😍 I don't even a builder but I really want to do it now! Hehe
Edit: Also gonna love the montage mode 😂
Thank you!! It's definitely a doable if you do decide to tackle it!
Love the dual sander action! And the glue assist! Total teamwork! Need more flip flops!! STAT! This is such a great upgrade! I love how this really makes a difference in the space! I think I see a fix up to my boring bedroom door in the near future!
Hahaha flip flops = shims in a pinch! The new door really does make the whole space look better, it had more of an impact than expected. Totally recommend it if you wanna tackle a weekend project!
Awesome video guys. I really love how entertaining you make these projects (watching in bed with my phone propped on a pillow)
Thank you Anne! We try our best, no matter how many bad jokes and video game sound effects it takes 😋
Anne of All Trades same 🤙🏼
What type of router bit did you use to cut trim out the section of door hinge?
This video came out the day i subscribed. Omg. Yall were babies here.. anyway im happy to be a kevin and I'm here to stay❤️❤️
How did you get the angle of the plywood?
And what did you mean when you said the paint sprayer needed to be turned 90 degrees?
idk if I'm replying a bit too late and you've already found out about these, but the angle of the plywood is 45 degrees. Half way to 90.
Spray painter should be turned 90 degrees for more paint to be applied at the same time. It eases the work process. The tip of the sprayer can be turned, so they don't have to turn the sprayer itself 90 degrees.
Every wood diy on youtube = every beginners can do this with few tools , and then drop the whole army of tools to use in the video
why didnt you just put the entire sheet of ply wood on there and roudet out the slots ?
That would probably leave more room for mistakes.
A router has a very different cut look than the method they chose. This way there's no rounded corners (though you could just chisel those out straight).
I love how you guys sanded it down to all one level except the slits. Makes it more modern whereas if you left it, it might look more barn door like
u guys seem to really like that slightly angled-parallel-line pattern hehe
reminds me of the ping pong net
oooh you might be right, we didn't even think of that!
spoopy poods *Herringbone pattern
Spray adhesive is also a great tool to use. You two make a phenomenal team. Thanks for sharing
"...and a few tools..."
*Has a whole ass workshop*
This was cool but the tools would cost me more than I can afford lol
The level of confidence. Cutting a wood board on a wood table and not cutting the table. If it were me I would sliced my table in half and then just contemplate life.
I like Lowe's. Great prices and they Actually remember IN THEIR COMPUTER that my dad is a veteran, and give him the discount without him having to show the card! true patriots!
That's really awesome! Bonus points for Lowe's!
@@EvanAndKatelyn The 10% veteran discount had saved me a bundle! The other guys honor active duty and retired military. Just not veterans who weren't "lifers". Consequently, Lowe's gets the vast majority of my business.
Nice! Wish there was a Lowes nearby but I never forget to ask for the discount at HD even if its just for a soda&candybar :P
Now let’s paint the kitchen cabinets.. I would like to learn that. Excellent job guys ❤️
This is a super cute project, out of curiosity how much of that paint did you use? I am wondering if it would be better to buy a smaller tin / testers? (38 dollars seems like a lot to spend on paint to me)
Hahaha yeah we didn't use much at all. It was our first time using a paint sprayer and we didn't want to get multiple paint cans and went overboard by a big shot. I'm sure a paint sample and a brush would have covered it fine and reduced the cost by a lot.
I'd see this extra paint as a great excuse to do all the rest of the doors in the house.
@@EvanAndKatelyn For a project requiring more painting, try a HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) sprayer. All the same principles of an airless sprayer apply, however, the efficacy of material application is *much* greater.
Applying paint with an HVLP sprayer, to me, is more satisfying, the result is superior to that achieved with an airless sprayer, there's *much* less overspray, and the costs are lower since more paint, stain, etc. ends up on the piece bring covered, rather than the surrounding area, not to mention in one's lungs.
$38 bucks is cheap ass paint imo. Also buying a quart is usually over half the price of a gallon. 4 quarts = a gallon. So just buy the gallon in case you use over 1 quart. Nothing sucks more than spending the same price for half the paint.
I'll be honest. The thumbnail looked like you covered the door with black vinyl. I clicked because it still got my interest.
I was pleasantly surprised by how high end it actually looks! Really great job!
It was so hard to get the door to look good in a thumbnail! Glad you like how it turned out 😁😁
Nice. Love budget project !!
Thanks! I'm pretty sure it could have been done even cheaper, but we wanted to be honest with what it cost us. A sample paint container and a brush would have reduced the cost by a lot
I love the idea of creating this door out of 2x4s with the holes hallow to use for a closet with an air handler in it
Loved this!
Thanks Rachel!!
Not just the skills in making their DIY, but the video and editing skills are really impressive 😊
So much positive vibes 😊 keep it up..
Chins of concentration spotted at 11:28! This was a fun one, guys! Great edit (K). The door looks fantastic!
Haha the chins make their presence knowwwwwn!!! Glad you like the project and the edit (which, as you know, is a project in itself haha!)
Everything is awesome when your Evan and Katelyn...
The door looks really good! It's like a modern shaker door.
"Everything is awesome" just makes me think about the Lego Movie song! Glad you like how the door turned out 😁😁
5:19 Reminded me of the Lego movie as well.
Man, this is a cute couple!
Aw thank you! ❤️❤️
Great project. A little tip that I've started using: instead of wood filler, a little bit of sheetrock ready mix. It only works for painted projects, but it dries fast and sands easily. Heck, if you time it right, a damp cloth or paper towel will keep you from having to sand.
Thanks so much for the tip!!
You had me at 'Well poop'.
💩 hahaha that's awesome
A consumer-level DIY in this one (which is needed, DIY-ers vary in interests and skills) but shown nicely and in a funny way. I've enjoyed watching it. Thanks fir the video! :) Keep up the good fun. :)
Glad you liked the video! We try to mix up the types of projects we do so hopefully there's a little something for everyone. Thanks!
So simple, but looks like $$$. I’m gonna have to do this one of my doors.
Thank you much! You definitely should do it - it makes such a big difference in the space!
You can just make some slits on the previous door. It would be faster, easier and cheaper instead of gluing a new wood. Then just spray paint it.
I loved what I saw and did 2 doors and one more is on the way .
Your video was done in a fun and pleasant way congrats and thanks
Tony
I think packing tape on the spacers should have kept them from getting stuck on by the wood glue
Ah thats a good tip!
They didn't actually need the spacers at the end. If pieces are cut appropriately they would move from where they belong but if they wanted to marke sure cause of random short cuts then just cleaning after they press out any paint, adding the other board and removing would've sufficed.
I hate the doors in our rented apartment with every fiber of my being. You have inspired me and gave me an idea on how to fix them.
Use that hate to fuel your maker powers and tackle those doors!!! 😋
Just love your channel!
Tutorials are very helpful and the builds are just awesome..
Aww thanks so much, we have a lot of fun making them!
id love to see yall tackle a fun DIY litterbox room for joob! something stylish and fun, yet out of the way ! yall always have such a pleasing aesthetic to every makeover that you do :)
We actually did make her a little litter box cubby in our laundry room makeover! th-cam.com/video/TXwGt8f1gT8/w-d-xo.html
I’ll never make that but I love your videos so I’m watching anyway :)
Aww yay thanks so much for joining us!
You all are awesome silly people and I love it. You make everything fun even the mistakes.
I really liked the video editing in this one. I mean they were great before but there was some extra whimsy in this one.
Thank you!! Tried to have a little extra fun with different music, sound effects, graphics and such 😁😁
I think I like ur door a little too much. Fantastic job! The black paint is a WOW!!!
Thanks!
"We have to take dimensional lumber and somehow remove half of it" * has a DeWalt planer sitting under the workbench.... doesn't use it.
Haha it just seemed like a waste of wood and a long process (since you can just do a short pass each time)
0 9 hmm
Great project. Great job of showing how something so practical and beautifying can be done cost effectively. Looks awesome!
Thank you so much! Glad you like it 😁😁
I get annoyed when people dismiss this cause "you need a whole workshop". Most people who own a home (renters hardly will upgrade a door anyway) will have some sort of power tools, like a drill and some sort of saw - and if not, they will eventually need one anyway. A circular saw doesn't even cost much.
Including, atleast here in sweden, a table top saw can cost anytime from 6000-25 000coronor. In USA dollars, ca 600 to 2500 dollars. I asure you, few, especialy fanilies with kids and or students, has that much money on hand to lay out on such impeovements. However i do agree with your, do it yourself agenda. It is True that you can do allot of 🕺 on your own, but always double check with your landlord unless you own The house yourself.
@@appolonia2132 A circular saw or a jigsaw costs like 400-600 SEK in Sweden, so no it's not expensive. If you can't afford that, you have no business buying a house.
Pretty sweet....good work, and you guys seem like you're living life, having fun, and you are fun too. Since I'm a bit on the lazy side, I'd be tempted to try to get the same effect with different shades of paint, and a little making tape. You'd edge me out on the finished product, but I think my idea would give a nice look too.
Thank you! Hey going the paint route would totally work too and be a lot less effort. Would love to see how that turns out!
you could have just drilled grooves into the door same effect less work.
That's definitely an option! We cut them into strips because we wanted the grain texture to show through the paint a little bit so it would look like more of a solid door, so we needed the grain going in the direction of the boards
@@EvanAndKatelyn texture can also be added but I get that my way would not be good content.
Would that work on a hollow door?
@@buddyholly4672 uhmm yes actually. It wasn't that much deeper that you need to drill.
For us this seemed easier than trying to add faux texture. I actually think that would be good content too. Just not the way we decided to take it. Nothing wrong with it though! 🙂
It looks really professional! Could be an IKEA DOOR seriously I am impressed. Well done, I love❤️ the way you worked together. 🌷🌼🌷🌸
Please, please keep your hand from the underside of that rip fence.....
I will not be doing this project BUT the door is so beautiful so I had to watch! Most of all, love the editing. It was clever, witty, and I’m sure it took a lot of time to edit (maybe as long as creating the door itself?)! I was entertained. 😁
pin nailer
Didn't consider that, thanks!
Great job guys. In the future if you have a spacer or caul that you have to use during the glueing process but have that same fear of it being glued while it dries, try wrapping it in packing tape. Just the clear regular old packing tape. In your case all 6 sides. I have used this before with great success.
That's an awesome tip! Thank you 😁
1st... Where is my medal?
Haha here you go! media.giphy.com/media/l0HU5XOQ5g9Q7gel2/giphy.gif
:) You guys are funny :)
Great Video! I wanted to try something like this but haven't finished other projects yet. One thing I had you would mention is that your pantry door swings out into the kitchen, making it easier to update the look as you showed. Most doors that people will be wanting to try this on are going to be bedroom doors or closet doors which swing into the room/closet. It may seem obvious to some DIYers, but folks need to realize there is a piece of door trim that will be in the way if you make the door thicker. I haven't tried this yet, but hoped you would give us all some expertise in this area. I don't mean to sound too critical, I guess I just hoped you might cover that so I could learn from your experience. Thanks for the fun and helpful video!
That's a great point! And this is actually our first time doing something like this so unfortunately we don't have any experience doing a project like this on a door that swings inwards... maybe there's a way to route out the trim? Not sure. Wish we could be more helpful! Also, our closet doors actually swing outwards not inwards in all the rooms in our house... Must be because we have small closets! 😋
@@EvanAndKatelyn yeah, maybe a router would work with some sort of straight edge guide. Thanks
For my wood putty I would do one of two things if not both. I will put a little bit of water on the top when I am done with it between projects.. that keeps the oxygen away from the putty itself and doesnt dry. i will also put it in a plastic back and seal it up to keep it fresh. Oxygen the enemy. Happy building.
Ooo thank you for the tips!!
Looks very nice. Now you have to make all the doors in your home match the pantry door. Have fun!
Thanks! Haha we do have some more door makeovers planned next week actually!
Pretty cool, pro tip, when installing doors you could use a screw driver, or dowel (if worried about scratching floor) as leverage instead of your flilp flop. Also, you could have used a trim bit in your router and ran it on top of the door to trim out where the hinges went instead of the awkward way you done it, clean up with a wood chisel.
I love watching your guys videos, the dynamic is amazing
Thank you! Haha sounds much better than flip flops. Thank you for the tips!
That turned out great. Really like the look. I wonder how a clear coat and black bottom layer would look. You guys should start a collection of cauls for future projects.
Thank you so much! That would be interesting to see 🙂
It seems like a great idea. I have often thought of ways to upgrade a lauan door. Unfortunately this looks good from a distance but when you get close and look at the reveal and fit of the door you are going to see a complete disaster.
1. The door will now be 5/16" thicker than the standard 1 3/8" interior door and be protruding out of its frame.
2. The 3" hinges that are designed for
1 3/8" are likely to bind up now because the hinge sets farther back on the door by 1/4"-5/16" depending on how well the glue was clamped.
3. Lauan doors are lightweight and reinforced with cardboard. The rails and stiles are generally made from masonite. Best case scenario made from fingerjointed pine. The issue is if you start adding weight to the door skin you run a risk of the door structurally failing,
due to the skin being 5x as heavy.
I do love the idea, but for a house as nice as that one I would have built an entire custom door, or used a solid core door with a custom rabbet frame to allow for the door being 1 11/16" thick. Of course you aren't going to be able to accomplish either for 66$.
Not trying to be negative or a hater but I've built and hung thousands of custom doors. This type of custom work can look professional or it can look like it was done for 66$.
Looks awesome! So much fun to watch with you all! Thanks!
thank you!
came across this channel some how love it, the real fake doors edit made it 100% better
Thank you!! Haha we saw an opportunity for a Rick & Morty reference and we took it!
Looks really good..
I have painted all my interior doors 🚪 that color and white trims. People whoever comes to my house 💕 it.
That looks fantastic! Very high end. Plus, I have the Flexio myself and it's a beast -- so cool that you can spray latex paint without any thinning at all without paying an arm and a leg for a super high end turbine. Can't spray lacquer with it... but nothing is perfect.
Worth noting -- you CAN buy door handles that work with much thicker doors. I made a theater door that's a full 3" thick and was able to get a door handle that worked with it. On the downside, it a) wasn't cheap and b) definitely wasn't available at Lowes or any other home improvement store.
Yeah we love the sprayer so far! Not having to thin the paint was awesome. Good to know about the handles!
katelyn is like a kid. so cuteee. i love your works 😉 keep up the good work guys.
Thank you so much!
😍😍😍
