What an absolutely beautiful door!!! Black Forest has an outstanding reputation for quality doors, but you and the team have surpassed yourselves. It speaks volumes that Brad trusts the team to progress from being "advanced chiselers" to "expert chiselers" while working on such an important job. Thanks for again showing the world what an amazing team can accomplish. It's always a pleasure to watch true craftsmen demonstrating high levels of proficiency. Keep up the GREAT work!!!!
Thank you so much John! Yes, we have an incredible team and we're lucky we can trust them with things like this, and we know they'll do good work! We will!!
That is beautiful workmanship! For last minute desperation, your team pulled off an amazing piece! Hope your carving "professional" realizes he's no longer necessary.
shims behind the hinge on install is the goat! It saved my dad and I a couple hours of work when our installer (of a boring door) did that and our door swell over time
I love this. 50 years ago you would never share info like this but these days it does not matter if you tell someone how to do it most people would never compete with the quality or effort or if they do they wont make any dent in the market
Amazing door!!! love to see team come together to create such beautiful project. Way to let the team step up and let the guys carve Brad I know its hard to do that!
Most impressive is how the entire team rallied behind each other. Pushing the limits under a tight deadline to not fail. Remarkable guys! Unbelievable finished product!
i been waiting for this door to be posted on here, i kept coming back and looking for it everyday and it’s finally here… great job on the door we love it #SBOFN
WOW!!!!! You guys knocked this one clear out of the ball park and the bases were loaded!!! This should be put in the Ginis Book of World Records for a first time hand carving. Beautiful!!!
Good morning 🌅 B , F , W , C, That is a great looking 👀 piece of Art Work, well worth the effort and time, especially learning as you go to do your carving, it has been many years since I’ve done any amount of serious carving, I have close to 200+ carving chisels , and it is all about patience, and studying the grain as you go to carve it, I had a leather strap with cutting compound, so I always had a very sharp edge, you could see your face in the metal work, I still have my SCM 520 E in white, it looks to be exactly the same as yours, great machines, Keep up the amazing work stay safe look forward to your next project , retired English man living in France,
Absolutely outstanding work, Black Forest. The craftsmanship displayed under time pressure while fighting against the nerves of working on such an expensive piece, is beyond phenomenal! Miigwetch (thank you) from Sandy Bay
Stunning! Absolutely beautiful! Boys, you guys are big guns, sharp shooters…..you nailed it! Great job, superb skills and excellent attitude and respect towards customer and customer’s wishes! 👍👍👍
Hey Guys! That was amazing to see, is there nothing that fazes you? Yes we can, no matter what the problem is, we can do it! Ime just lost for words. Cudos to the whole team. Thank you for sharing as always, cheers Michael.
I mean goddam this is an impressive piece of art! Regardless of having to take on some parts with various skill/experience levels, you all stepped up and it looks fantastic Appreciate the bare bones explanations and coverage of the problem solving and story telling too Dylan you certainly know that we all wanna get that JAM(B) in the HOLE when it comes to appreciating the builds you showcase :P much love from Australia
Extraordinary work on the carving and painting, I can't even imagine having to do something like that at the last minute. I've done some carving before and every single time it terrifies me. So easy to make a single mistake, go a little too far, and ruin your already finished work you were carving. And I would guess that the softness of Sapele, at least compared to other harder woods, probably helped with the carving as well. And, incidentally - it makes me jump for joy to see so much Sapele being featured. I make and sell cutting boards and Sapele is by far the wood I use most, I just love it. I don't know about prices in Canada, but it's always wild to see how affordable it is in the US, at least compared to TH-cam woodworking's favorite wood, black walnut. Just marvelous work! I'm sure that door will be appreciated by many people for decades to come.
We were a little stressed and worried initially but once the guys started they loved it and were having a lot of fun carving! Yes, sapele is definitely way more affordable than black walnut! Thank you so much!
Beautiful door guys. I would be giving all after cost as bonuses to the crew. That’s such a huge ask for them, well most of them, to go outside their knowledge level, way out outside. I maybe a woodworker, even an artistic woodworker, but it’s such a different level of skill to do true art within a wooden project like that. I can’t paint, draw, or anything close to am artist unless it’s joints and sharp and crisp chisel lines. Power carving I guess I can do to a degree. I have trouble staying within lines with a router. Lol. Lovely job everyone.
Wow!!! The doors came out perfectly. Your business have some very talented people working for you. It's great these employees get to learn new skills but apply them like professionals. I really like the color of those doors. What was the name of the mahogany you used for the door? Is it readily available or a special order? Is it expensive per board foot? Congrats on a job well done.
I am very impressed with your carving technique! The patterns are really exquisite. I am interested in carving, can you recommend me some basic tools to start with?
I refinish a lot of doors, mostly mahogany. After seeing the damage from weather, I learned to use a clear penetrating epoxy primer before applying the final finish. I would be interested to see how the hard wax oil stands up to the weather.
We find oil stands up better than polyurethane. We used to only do polyurethane on exterior doors but found after a few years it would dry up and chip off if it's been exposed to harsh weather. The oil finish is a much easier maintenance because if it looks dull we can just add another oil coat on top. With poly, we would have to take the whole door off and bring it back to our shop to sand it down and then sand it back for refinishing.
The painter kid did amazing. The technique of placing the pinky down (consciously or unconsciously) to stabilize the hand is a baller move. It's used by surgeons, highly skilled craftsman, etc. Excellent job man
Gorgeous doors! I get the draw of hand carved works, but I'm curious if you guys considered doing the carving on the CNC, and if so, why you decided against it. Regardless, amazing work by all!
Thank you! These clients specifically requested a hand-carved door! So yes, the Shaper would have been easier but it wouldn't be what the clients asked for
@@BlackForestWoodCo that’s honorable of you. I see most sellers claim hand carving and sell it at a higher price when someone knowledgeable knows it was made by CNC. There is also a ‘texture’ option so carvings can look authentic. Great job as always and that door looks absolutely amazing. Wondering if you’ll do more carvings in-house or still call on outside help after that let-down.
I have previously replied to this comment. There is no heart and soul in a CNC. Plus most people can tell the difference between the 2 methods. And as others have noted, the pride of the whole team went through the roof. What an opportunity to pull together and kick some butt! Our guys rock...
@@bradthomas8711 but it was used to cut out the rest of the parts and pretty much used in every video. I could definitely tell the difference. I guess if the customer wanted it that makes sense but if y’all use it to your advantage for everything else I was just wondering why not this. Would have been much more precise.
So did the "wood carver" pay you for all the overtime you must have spent for a team of your guys to meet the deadline he agreed to previously ? It appears he has donated his portable toolset to your shop... Doesn't look like you'll ever need his services again ! Fantastic work !

It’s great that you understood the reason your customer wanted it by a particular date, and you respected that. 17:38
Of course! We promised they'd have it by that date and we didn't want to break that promise!
Highly talented workers
Thank you so much!
That is beautiful workmanship! For last minute desperation, your team pulled off an amazing piece! Hope your carving "professional" realizes he's no longer necessary.
Yes we sure did! And we all had so much fun doing it and the guys have said they want to do more hand carved projects in the future!
shims behind the hinge on install is the goat! It saved my dad and I a couple hours of work when our installer (of a boring door) did that and our door swell over time
They have already adjusted it.
Yup! We would never do a door without them!
I love this. 50 years ago you would never share info like this but these days it does not matter if you tell someone how to do it most people would never compete with the quality or effort or if they do they wont make any dent in the market
You guys are absolutely amazing at adapting to unique circumstances. Your skills and professionalism is truly inspiring!
Thank you so much Teri 😄
Always a pleasure watching masters working their trade.
Thank you Gregory! 😄
Amazing door!!! love to see team come together to create such beautiful project. Way to let the team step up and let the guys carve Brad I know its hard to do that!

Thank you so much Doug! 😊😊
impressed you were respectful of the children and tribespeople in not filming them for clicks. What an honour to be involved in a project like this.
To say the least!
We never film anyone without asking first 😁Thank you Lance!
You all did a fantastic job on this door. The carving and painting are amazing.
Thank you Debbie 😄
It looks really fantastic!

Beautiful!
He’s just a wallet. Sure. As long as he’s buying! Hell, he can buy a Lamborghini and spray paint it, if he wants. Next. Mon-key..
Yeah. Mon-key, u have to pay for all that. You have to pay, for all that. Mon-key.
Absolutely outstanding work, Black Forest. The craftsmanship displayed under time pressure while fighting against the nerves of working on such an expensive piece, is beyond phenomenal! Miigwetch (thank you) from Sandy Bay

much love from Australia
Haha thank you Dan!
Love from Canada 😁
Amazing!
Getting thrown in the deep end , the best way to learn a new level of skill .
Agreed!
Amazing. Just amazing.
Thank you Matthew! 😁
Extraordinary work on the carving and painting, I can't even imagine having to do something like that at the last minute.
I've done some carving before and every single time it terrifies me. So easy to make a single mistake, go a little too far, and ruin your already finished work you were carving. And I would guess that the softness of Sapele, at least compared to other harder woods, probably helped with the carving as well.
And, incidentally - it makes me jump for joy to see so much Sapele being featured. I make and sell cutting boards and Sapele is by far the wood I use most, I just love it. I don't know about prices in Canada, but it's always wild to see how affordable it is in the US, at least compared to TH-cam woodworking's favorite wood, black walnut.
Just marvelous work! I'm sure that door will be appreciated by many people for decades to come.
We were a little stressed and worried initially but once the guys started they loved it and were having a lot of fun carving!
Yes, sapele is definitely way more affordable than black walnut!
Thank you so much!
Y’all better give him a big bonus and a small raise for the work he put in
Hell, Yes Nice One very cool guy's great job keep up the great work you do have a great day and God Bless
Thank you so much!
Nice job guys

Thank you so much Tanya!!
Did not like the carving at first, but putting the door in context, changed everything. It is beautiful!
Thanks Eugene!
Talk about hard work and dedication to your father to make this possible and help your employees
Thanks. I love my job, and have the best team behind me!
Yes, we put our all into this one!
Amazing work. And you charged Sandy and I to learn to carve-lol. I really like the hand carved look, vs a CNC.
That is awesome!!!
Thanks Fred!
Wow!!! The doors came out perfectly. Your business have some very talented people working for you. It's great these employees get to learn new skills but apply them like professionals.

needs more settling on the door bucks .for dry logs typically 3 percent of door height is needed for settling.
Yasss queen. Get it queen. SLAY 😂 and i agree!
The painter kid did amazing. The technique of placing the pinky down (consciously or unconsciously) to stabilize the hand is a baller move. It's used by surgeons, highly skilled craftsman, etc. Excellent job man
Pinky technique is common among automotive pinstripers.
It was intentional! Garett had a lot of good techniques he showed us!
Great work as always! Honest question, why wouldn't you CNC or Shaper Origin the carving? Was the client looking for "imperfection"?
Totally!
The client asked for hand carving!
Amazing job!!!
Thank you!!
Hope you paid your carvers a little extra!! Job well done
Hi there! Could you please tell me how long the cake "survived" in the resin? I'm thinking about doing the same thing and would really love to know...
It's still in there haha, it's in our office sitting on a cabinet. It definitely doesn't look as fresh as it once did but it's holding up still!
Gorgeous doors! I get the draw of hand carved works, but I'm curious if you guys considered doing the carving on the CNC, and if so, why you decided against it. Regardless, amazing work by all!
We wanted to give some heart to this. It was an honour to work with the team and deliver…
Incredible work! Really well done, guys! 👏🏼
Brad, use a push stick on that job site saw unless you want to be known as "Stumpy" in the future. 😊
Thank you.
Is there anything u guys can't do? Congrats beautiful piece.
Thank you so much!
fuckin nailed it boys
Thank you 😁😁
Great work as always, just wondering did you consider using a Shaper to do the carving, would that have made things easier for you potentially?
Thank you! These clients specifically requested a hand-carved door! So yes, the Shaper would have been easier but it wouldn't be what the clients asked for
just for curiosity, why not use a CNC machine for carving?
Our client asked for hand carving specifically
Well now I want to see the halo guns 😂
You can look at his Instagram @prairiemountainstudios to see them!
I would have preferred it without being painted. But, I am not the customer :) Door is def nice though, looked to be about 3" thick.
Love the doors, but can we can we get dad a push stick so hopefully he can keep his fingers where they go? 😮
Thanks for the concern. I typically use a push stick when ripping under 2 inches.
Its amazing but how do you caulk it or seal it from driving rain?
There are closed cell neoprene gaskets around all of the panels.
Good morning 🌅, Again, I forgot to mention, it might be a good idea to put a drain grill in front of the doorway, France.
That planer is not 1960s lol! It a early 90s
Why carve when you have a CNC? It does as good or better. Especially with Prism lettering.
In this case, our client requested this piece be hand carved.
@@BlackForestWoodCo that’s honorable of you. I see most sellers claim hand carving and sell it at a higher price when someone knowledgeable knows it was made by CNC.

@@ifiwooddesigns The guys want to do more hand carvings so we'll probably just use our own guys in the future 😁
What is the difference between a woodworker and a carpenter?
Nice Fucking Door!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha thank you!
Interested as to why the CNC was not an option for the carving?
CNC, CNC, CNC... this was done by hand for a reason.
They asked for it to be carved by hand
Why not do this carving on a CNC? Maybe even that shaper portable one
Because the clients wanted a hand carved door
just a quick question doesn't your CNC have the ability to do some of this type of work
CNC can do, but has no soul…
Yes, but these customers specifically requested a hand carving!
Did the client require it to be hand carved? If not couldn't you just CNC it?
No heart and soul in a CNC...
They did request it to be hand carved yes
21:04 Is that just the angle or the door has dents in it ?
No dents.
Just the angle, that's the metal from the latter reflecting onto the wood grain
You use the cnc for everything else why not just have it do the carving too
I have previously replied to this comment. There is no heart and soul in a CNC. Plus most people can tell the difference between the 2 methods. And as others have noted, the pride of the whole team went through the roof. What an opportunity to pull together and kick some butt! Our guys rock...

He did not haha. And nope, those are all our carving tools, he came back and took all his stuff and left without saying a word
