TH-cam has gone downhill on DYI but this was a masterclass. You touched on so much as you made the video and awesome that you included why you did it. Someone who knows his materials. Love the tools. I use My big radial saw often. Can't beat the power and the height of the cut.
I for the life of me can't understand why you don't have one million subscribers. As always, beautiful work from an absolute professional, full of tips and reasons why you do thing is a certain, smart way. I"m old so I do enjoy and Dad and "the mighty" jokes! I always enjoy your videos a lot, even though I am no woodworker in any way, I'm retired so maybe I enjoy watching OTHER people work. PS get some anti-splinter gloves, ouch!
Thank you for the kind words. Yeah, I wish my channel would do better, it has been slowly dying for the last few years. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, maybe I'll crack the code one of these days.
that's you tube for you novedays.. Same way they count views. And that's on all channels I am subscribed. few years ago all the sudden views dropped everywhere from few hundred views to like 10-20K views. Even on Mikes channel now, 224K subs and only 14K views. All gets manipulated, I bet to not pay more$$ to creators
Honestly I believe the reason is most likely Mike’s skillset is so far ahead of a DIYer and many pros that the projects seem unattainable. That rebuild on the planer was absolutely awesome. I have learned so much from these videos. I agree he deserves over a million subs.
@MikeFarrington youtube unfortunately punishes those who don't post on a very regular basis. Looks like you average about 1 per month. The people posting weekly get the most attention. But regardless... I literally watch every video so please never quit 😁
Nice doors. I custom built wood doors for 20 years during my 40 year wood working career.. 100s of custom wood exterior doors. Only veneered a couple doors similar to your technique. Never had a shop or even clamps as good as yours. It would have made it easier. I started out using 2 1/2" dowels with a custom doweling jig. Most of the time I used a lap joint construction and gradually transitioned to a Top Lamello biscuit joiner. Two rows of biscuits passed my shop strength test out performing the dowels and were way faster and way positively accurate. I would never build an exterior door for someone that didn't have proper overhang or hidden direction from the prevailing weather. Wood doors cannot survive direct exposure no matter how you build it. I know of some doors in use today that are forty years plus that are still in great shape. Watching you brings back memories. I'm retired now and just have some hobby wood working tools. Your doors look fantastic. A quality custom door is statement to any home.
It's great to see another video of yours! You are unbelievably talented. I've been woodworking for 50 years and I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for that!!!!
Ha! Every time I watch one of his videos, my first thought is, "my tools aren't calibrated accurately enough". So I run out to the shop with the square, and start checking everything and calibrating...
Very cool! I worked in a custom door shop for 5 years, I never made my own core though! The front shop had a finger jointer and an rf gluer, they made all the pine block core. One thing we did for knotts on alder and cherry, we used coffee grounds mixed with a clear glue, I don't actually remember the glue now! But it really made a natural appearance to the knot
I ran across this video by accident, and I must say your teaching, the quality of the video, and craftsmanship are outstanding! Thank you for the time and effort you are investing in your videos.
This is just plane ol kick ass Woodworking content. Its got it all Vacuum bagging, shop sawn veneer, big M&T joinery. Door building is so cool they came out freaking beautiful. Now I wanna get in my shop and build us a new entry way door 😂
Thank you for explaining what and why you do steps. The discussion of stability and strength is often not covered as people focus on showcasing their 'skill".
I loved your video, I don't have the sophisticated machines you use, but the most interesting thing is the process and technique of achieving a light and excellently constructed piece, I hope to reach that level one day, greetings
Great video thank you! You have a great understanding of wood and its properties and how to build an excellent door. I only have one suggestion and that would be to prefinish the door panels before glue up so that when they shrink they won't expose unfinished wood. Prefinishing the panels also helps prevent the panel from being glued by fnnish into the dados.
I’ve been hoping to see a comprehensive craftsman door video for a long time. This one is superb! Thanks as always for continuing to share this content. Looking forward to part 2
Wow that's a lot of work! I have made doors from solid oak and although heavy if the correct hinges and finish is used I have had no problems. Lovley finished product though.
Well done sir, turned out beautifully. You make it look easy.. always appreciate the tips tricks and explanations, it really does help a hobbyist like me. You belong on This Old House!
Your work is always on point and your pro tips are always appreciated but that piston fit come on how satisfying was that to watch I think I got goosebumps. Well done sir see you on the next one
Such a pleasure to watch your posts. Great craftwork 🎉 I am sure the shop apprentice will keep you in check and be ready for the day that he will start taking over your tools and machines!
you know technically the saying is just "run around with my hair on fire". It doesn't specify where the hair is located, so unless there is some serous time being spent manscaping there is likely some hair somewhere that could be on fire. 😁
Mike, as you're an absolute wizard of tips and tricks, this one may come as no news to you...but just in case. A variation on your two step cut to help with tear-out on the grooves. Run the first shallow pass as a climb cut. Then run the cut to full depth in the conventional direction. This has gotten me out of trouble rebating some particularly poorly behaved wood. And the climb cut will be nothing but fun with your slick looking power feeder!
This is the first time I have had a suggestion for your content. Well worth the watch. You have a nice shop with lots of tools that have left me in aw. Great job on explaining why you did the different things. I didn't know that the core was a different wood in exterior doors. I'm subscribed
Thank you very much. The core can be the same lumber or different, maybe factors will determine that decision. In this case, it was to reduce weight, and cost, white oak is very expensive around here.
@MikeFarrington I am trying to put together a small shop in my garage to start doing some woodworking. I'm disabled and on a fixed income. Doing it one tool at a time, used or new. I want to build small stuff that goes along with my wife's air plant business. Someday, I would like to build us two different bedroom sets so we can hand them down someday to our 2 adult children. Maybe build some things for the grandchildren, too. Thank you for your great instruction
The methodic pace with which you construct your project is stunning. Your work is beyond the woodworking stage, easily into the art form range. Your attention to detail - I am certain - is greatly appreciated by your customers. Doubtless you've heard this, but your voice is definitely "Golden Mike" quality (pun intended). If you need time off from woodworking, try doing some voice-overs
Wow that looks great. I'm making new interior doors for my house now, good to watch your video for tips and to realise I've made them strong enough to be exterior grade. :D
Thank you for a great channel. I saw your kumiko video at a friends and was so impressed I immediately looked you up. I look forward to learning from you.
Looking forward to watching this. My front door is junk, and new solid wood doors are crazy-expensive! $1,500+ from what I've seen. I assume it would be much cheaper to build my own, but I guess it depends on the type/cut of wood recommended for a solid door that won't warp.
Around here, I couldn't buy a solid wood entry door for 1500. I would have probably gone that way for that price. Around here more like 4-6k. This has been a fun project though.
Thanks for the instructions, been thinking about building my own Door for the front of the house but it faces the East and gets lots of direct sunlight until around 1:00pm each day, I've got to yet research a good finish to stand up to our changing Temps ( Michigan , Lower part of the lower peninsula) Thinking about White Oak. 38 year furniture builder.
White oak is a good place to start. Also, just plan to refinish the door every couple years. If the door gets lots of exposure, it will need the maintenance.
Great work once again Mike, I graduated from pipe clamps to Bessey's many years ago but totally agree that they still have a place in the shop, especially when you get in the 8' range. I also like your clamp bench, maybe it could have a "shout out" in an upcoming video ?
thank you thank you thank you , im in the prosesess of building a huge door out of old palletts and i have the panells and mullyens stiles and rails all glued up now i know what i have to do to put it all togeather but i'll be doing it all by hand tools

Ha! Every time I watch one of his videos, my first thought is, "my tools aren't calibrated accurately enough". So I run out to the shop with the square, and start checking everything and calibrating...
I came to the comments section to say exactly this. The attention to detail is extremely obvious in the results.
@@locke3141 Ha! You caught me.
Finally a good video of a professionally made door. Great content mate! Cheers and thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Love the color contrast with the customer door/trim.

Might be the best voice in woodworking. Golden pipes. Very calming! And the work is amazing, too.
Thank you very much.

I found a guy that builds door the correct way! Way to go man!
Thank you.
My absolute favorite style of door. Thank you Mr. Farrington for filming this process!!
You are very welcome
I have door making on my wanna-do list for sure.
Tons of fun. Get to it.
Wow! From my 60 in. TV, I'm pretty sure that your machines are wonderfully tuned. It would awesome to learn your tips of setting those tools.
Thank you. That is a neat idea, maybe a tool setup video.
So amazing to watch someone else do something that I’d never ever want to do. Looks so painstakingly time consuming.
Yeah, it takes a lot of time for sure.
Outstanding craftsmanship! Mad respect for your skills and your amazing tool collection!
Thank you very much!
Wow, what a treat. Looking forward to Part 2. So nice that the apprentice likes to pop in after school.
Thank you. I'll have it ready soon. Yeah, it's a treat to be there when he comes home.

Thank you.
Wow! The algo served me a new, relevant, and above all awesome channel. That never happens!
Ha! They get it right once in a while.
An American with a sliding tablesaw, that actually builds stuff. how do you not have a ton more subscribers!
Thank you.
Love the commentary about tools. It was cool to see a mortiser sharpened
Thank you.

Just incredible. Top 1 woodworking channel.
Thank you very much.
Nice matching screen/storm door. Always a pleasure.
Thanks again!
Stunning door! The client must be thrilled to have this on their home! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!
Thank you very much.
Watching the piece slide down into place was satisfying!
Thank you.
Your shop and equipment are life goals. I'm so jealous
Thank you. I have been at this a long time. I couldn't afford to go buy my tools today, its taken 25 years of collecting.
Thanks for the domino trick at 20:33, wish I had known that one a few weeks ago.
Thank you.
Amazing Door, even without it complete yet. Looks like a lot of work, but well worth it!!! Love the humorous bits. Truly, next level craftsmanship.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not just great woodworking , but a great teaching style too! Super nice work all the way around!!
Thank you very much.
You truly are a craftsman.
Thank you.
Craftsman Door Proper! Absolutely Stylish door that will never go out of style, Thanks for Sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I second Robert's comment! I have not found many exterior door videos, now I can try one!
Thank you. Let me know how it goes.
Your shop is a land of dream for me.
Thank you very much. Me too.
Nice work. That heated blanket dial brought back some memories.
Haha, yeah that thing is like 20 years old.
You had my subscription at, “it’s in the bone”. Splinters are the only bummer of wood working.
Ha! Great movie. Welcome aboard.
Nice to have you back with this project, Mike. I look forward to the second episode.
Thank you very much.
The good ole stave core door. This is how doors use to be made and they would last forever. Great job as always. Awesome shop.
Thanks 👍
Wow that's a lot of work! I have made doors from solid oak and although heavy if the correct hinges and finish is used I have had no problems. Lovley finished product though.

8600 ft above Boulder!
Cool. Sounds like you are in a beautiful area. I'm way out east.
Such a pleasure to watch your posts. Great craftwork 🎉 I am sure the shop apprentice will keep you in check and be ready for the day that he will start taking over your tools and machines!

Really looking forward to seeing how you install the glass.
Thank you. I will cover that in the next one.
More great informative craftsmanship from a top quality craftsman , keep the videos coming 👍 👌
Thank you.
Love the Ford E-Series bench in the shop. I've got one of those in my shop as well.
Thank you. Good stuff.
"I don't have the necessary equipment to run around with my hair on fire."

Haha. Good to hear you liked it.

@@andrewr2650 Haha. Good point, I'm showing my bias.
Same here as well. My go-to statement: "If I had hair, I'd be pulling it out." Rock on.
Whilst appreciating your raconteuring stye, your careful attention to detail and minutiae is icing on the cake.

Another excellent and informative project. Thanks Mike, can't wait for the next episodes.
Thank you very much.
You have a very nice workshop, very spacious and clean, comfortable for creativity
Thank you. I am very fortunate to have my shop.

Glad to hear it!
Thank you for showing us how you buit this door. The shop apprentice will soon be designing and building too.
Thank you. He is getting big for sure.
I like how you used the domino to make the shelf and didnt use it on the joinery for the door. 😊
I think the domino is strong enough for the shelf and not strong enough for the door.
Masterclass. Well done man.

the little shelf below the window having a slight downward slope (parallelogram) so that the water runs off was a nice touch, it pays to think ahead
