I like the star burst design. What about using something else for the center, maybe something like stain glass or something that creates a prism affect. ...of course light is needed lol. Love your videos and creativity.
Thanks for the reply. I'm preparing to make 2 sliding steel doors for my son's house and it's totally inspired by your work and videos. I might need to get some shears like that.
@kpannabecker yeah it's super useful and the one in the video was purchased at harbor freight and has worked good for years. Only need to change the blade every now and again
Artfully Rogue Thanks for the reply. Maybe I should’ve phrased this differently. I was wondering what your process was to clean the vinegar off the sheet metal after the rust has formed. I’ve tried this on smaller pieces and it seems like half of my rust is washed away with the vinegar. Or does that mean I haven’t let it set up long enough?
Ah gotcha! When I apply it, I spray it on and usually place another piece of sheet metal on top (vinegar between the two sheets) and I let it sit for at least a day or two. The warmer the steel the better, so in summer when my shop is hotter, it creates some great rust in a couple days. In winter it take 3 or 4 days.
will the world ever know the true extent of your talent, intellect, creativity, passion and patience?
you're amazing
thanks doug
Thank you very much, I actually feel the same way about you :)
Master Doug, thank you, you are a real inspiration, another great art piece!!!
Thanks Vit

Bo Davis that sounds cool, I'll play around with some of those ideas for sure
What gauge is the sheet steel? Your cutting shears cut through it so easily. The door is beautiful.
It's a 20g sheet. You can shear 18g but it's a little tougher on the blades

Love this project & your whole channel!🤘 How’d you clean the door after you applied the vinegar & allowed it to rust?
I apply a clear coat over the rust which makes it easier to clean

You are a great teacher!
Moxie Lox Couture Hair Extensions thanks👍 totally appreciate it
Your work is super inspiring, Where do you get your wheels from?
There's a local wheel and caster store in town that I purchase from.
THIS IS GREAT
CAN YOU KNOW ME THAT PROTECTIVE PAINT TO THIS DOOR CAN LONG TIME USE
SORRY, WHAT CAN I WRITE IT UNDERSTAND, I'M USING GOOGLE TRANSLATION
I use a spray on clear lacquer on the metal.
Nice job!!!
htnttf1 thanks a lot!
Pleas share your sheet cutting machine details
Are you talking about what I used to cut the sheet of wood?
Electric shears.
Ridiculous
Is that good or bad, ridiculous?
