    "It'll just kind of look like a mediocre wainscoting job which would be typical from other carpenters in my area" - so much meaning in so few words.
    It's a rare occasion that you show how proud of your work you are, but here we can see it. Excellent job. Your general contactor must be blissful that he used your services.

    Awesome job! Rixson and Jackson both make walking beam pivot hardware that is adjustable in 4 planes. Used more for commercial storefront doors, but still designed for 1 3/4” doors. Gives you the advantage of being fully adjustable.

    @19:58 Shots fired, shots fired! I had to laugh when you said "it'll just look like a mediocre wainscoting job..." 😁 Really looks terrific and appreciated the thinking process that goes with it. I remember Richard of Finish Carpentry TV doing a hidden door using nickel gap shiplap. But the door swung inward so it was much easier to hide it (and the nickel gap hid it well)

    Love the way you did this! The pivot hinge is brilliant. Soss and Sugatune hinges are a PITA to work with. Those look very straightforward to do. With paint grade hidden doors, I usually try to do inswing if possible so you can fix the trim to hide the seams and reduce gaps. Spring hinges and magnets are your friend for that also to help keep things tightly closed.
    The way you did this one adds another arrow to the quiver, for sure! Love watching your videos. Thanks so much for all you do, Spencer!

    This 2 part series was recommended by Interior Designer Laurel Bern and it was EXACTLY what I needed to see...a detailed, up close look at how a hidden door is constructed. Intuitively, I knew a pivot point was necessary, but you showed just what I needed to see to plan my project.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'd like to support your channel with my Kreg purchase.

    Some of thee older videos systems hv changed , tools & tech hv changed so U could reproduce them and it would be a smash hit! Try it with an older critical job us finish guys do??
    Like say built ins? Hinge systems for them and hv you ever done a video on front doors and thresholds ?
    As to this video I can tell you Spencer if the framers do a so so job or forget to crown their studs I am in trouble!
    That wall has to be framed solid !
    And pre planning between you and the GC is critical!
    Obviously you are blessed & hv a great GC!

    Why does the right hinge size have no plywood over drywall? Can’t figure out what you did there with that final piece since it didn’t appear flush with the jamb.

    • @InsiderCarpentry
      @InsiderCarpentry  ปีที่แล้ว

      If I remember correctly it has something to do with the the drywall being out of plane. I think this was due to the mud/drywall corner bead build up. That area was so far out of plane with the rest of the wall that I actually had to leave the plywood off in that area.

    Perfect timing for me on this video! Convinced me to go with pivot hinges over the "wide throw" hinge approach. The part that helped me was the routing of the top jamb piece as i am starting with finished drywall and need the door to flush up to that drywall at the ceiling.
    I'm looking at using the same rixson bottom setup but using the Jackson J580BS for the top of the door for adjustability since I'm a DIYer - more info below:
    My project is an 8 foot wide by 8 foot tall closet space that is already finished with drywall and no header - am going to make two 4x8 doors clad in 1/8 white oak and 3/4" deep slats so it will look like a slat wall that is somewhat popular at the moment. Since I'm a DIYer I'm trying to find the minimal risk approach.
    For others that have gone done this rabbit hole of clad hidden doors (wainscoating, slats, etc) the options I found were:
    - the rixson hardware shown here (their pivot door hardware catalog is great - appears the 128-3/4 was used here - just google that and the catalog link is on that products download section)
    or Wide throw hinges like the ones below - with the amount of overlap on the wainscoating in this video I doubt any of these would work though - if you have smaller overlaps they likely would work:
    - Soss 518
    - Tectus TE 540 3D A8
    - Sugatsune HES3D-W190 (not the E190 which is not wide throw)
    - McKinney MK80 (not really a wide throw but might work in some applications)
    Do your own googling of prices but out of all the options the Rixson is the cheapest for my project by far due to my door size at 48"x96" and about 100lbs - the fancy wide throw hinges are around the same price as the rixson but you need 2-3 of them per door - the Sugatsune and the Tectus are 3D adjustable which was an attractive option to me as a DIYer that doesn't have the skills of Spencer (😳at the "strong 32nd" statement).
    I am also looking at not using the "top of door" part of the Rixson 128-3/4 and instead use the Jackson J580BS - it is just a pivot hinge part for the top of your door but adds the ability to adjust the pin to/from the jamb - havent researched enough yet whether you can just buy the Rixson bottom portion separately to make this approach even cheaper.

    11:40 - Noob question. When you say “scribe it to the wall/ceiling”, what does that mean exactly? You are setting the stiles/rails to be level/plumb so there is probably some variable gap with the ceiling. Not sure what “scribe” would mean in this context? Thanks!
