How To Build Frame and Panel French Doors

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video I make a set of custom French Doors for my shop! If you have been watching, you'll know that its taken me the better part of 2 months to get my shop back up and running. I build a huge wall to separate my workspace from my new show room. So to make the entrance complete, I needed some Double Doors. So I build a pair from some reclaimed white oak and hickory.

Dude these doors are KILLER. Really makes me want to build myself a new front door on my house. 👊🏼
YOu got to bro! theyre not that hard with this technique
I think there's something super rewarding about taking some rough lumber with twists and bows in it and milling it to parts. Great video. Doors look great.
thanks Angie!
I think it really adds something to your builds when you put in those aggravating moments. This was an awesome build, it came out beautifully.
GLad you enjoyed it, im for sure not perfect and glad to share the mis steps
John,
First, beautiful project. The finish is impeccable.
Second, PINEAPPLE? I seriously just about dropped my breakfast at that line!
Thanks for the entertainment, and the inspiration for all of our own builds!
glad you dig it JD, thanks for checking it out
Beautiful work John, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it Derek!
They look amazing!
Thanks Kevin, Glad you dig it !
Excellent work on the French Doors. Really great that you pointed out the wood behavior.
Thank Arthur! Ya damn bowing kicked me in the ass
Love your work John! You're projects inspire me to keep creating content on my channel!
thats why i am here my friend. glad to help!
Dang man...phenomenal doors! Currently designing some french doors that goes into our living room to separate the dining room. I have no clue how I am going to do it yet but my excuse will be that John inspired me so if they turn out crappy...well honey...go complain to John!
hahaha better not make em crappy. I dont need that kind of pressure!
Awesome door! Came out amazing! Doing some research for my own door build and this helped me out a bunch!
Glad i could help! check out the domino technique!
Look at these AWESOME doors, John! Great video as always...keep up the great work! 👊 👀
Thanks guys! glad you like em
Very nice build. Love the reclaimed wood. Just beautiful
yea i got soooooo lucky it was white oak haha
Pineapple lemonade is pretty good, they’ve had it at Weinerschnitzel for a couple years now….. but now they also have coconut lemonade, so if you order half coconut lemonade and half pineapple lemonade it tastes like Piña Colada Lemonade….. great, now I have to go to weinerschnitzel!
Oh and, great video…. Even though I now have to go hit a drive through a fifteen minute drive away just for lemonade….
John, you are a true craftsman!!
Thank you!
You are killing it on the editing. Cool doors. 👊
Haha thanks Doug. Sam loves the dance scenes
Awesome door build John! These doors will be a focal point of your new shop. Very Cool!
Yep and i get to use them every day!
Wow, Awesome doors! Gives me inspiration for my future barn style home. Your content is great. I love the attitude and wit. The fact that you don’t shy away from being yourself and stay away from producing content that is too formal is one of the reasons I subscribe. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for 2019. God Bless!
Thank you! thats been am emphasis of mine for this year!
Love the vid as always....but man that background music is a bit intrusive.
Well glad you liked the vid.
@@John_Malecki A bit more precise feedback: The music didn't get in the way at all until you were talking about the finish. From the 11-12 min mark. Quality build man, rock on!
Yea we thought we fixed it too! i heard that in the first edit. thanks for the input fellas !
I agree!!
I hope you're not someone like those electronic/club/dubstep dude.if you complain about the music.. i love the music.
Those doors are killer! Great work as always
Loved the editing and tunes in this one!
Thanks luke, glad you enjoyed it
Doors came out gorgeous man! Love the channel.
SEMPER FI ! Love the doors !!!
Thank you! Just a Patriot, but proud to support!
Amazing build! Nice job!
Thank you!
Love the doors man. They look so sick and fit the look of what you think the Malecki shop should look like. Bad ass build and really entertaining and informative video to watch!
glad you enjoyed it my brother !
Great Job!!!!!!!
Thanks Keith!!
am i the only one who clicks the like button before I watch his stuff? always awesome content!
nah dude! my mom and GF do the same. love it, thank you!
Awesome work John! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred!
Great job, the doors look great! Keep up the great work
Thanks so much Dan!
Gorgeous
Thank You!
Hodor! Ha!!
haha thanks Tamar!
I enjoyed watching you build these doors. Making doors out of solid wood is hard to do.
It was super gratifying for sure. and i get to use them every day which is even better. this technique isnt that hard tho!
They turned out awesome John. I know you said there a few species of wood but they all looked really good together. Really dressed up the place..
Yea it brought it together nicely !
I just built a set of French doors to connect both of my shop areas. Built em out of 2x6s for strength.
Awesome looking 👍👍👍👍
thanks dude ! you gotta come see em now !
Great job
Thanks Joey!
I freakin LOVE the guitar lick in this video! *Swedish metallhead approves*
The doors are pritty sweet too ;)
T-shirt lining up with sweatshirt game on point.
not sure what that means, but thank you !
great video john
Thanks!
Semper Fi Brother, beautiful work
Just a patriot showing my support!
great work, amazing music
Glad you enjoyed it Mario!
Well thank you. Its refreshing to see.
you're welcome Curtis !
There's the always blinking dust collector light of John Malecki 😂😂
hahaha its just always so damn dusty!
Love it man! Plus an added bonus is you said shrinkage at 11:16!
always worrying about shrinkage ...
Very nice 👍🏼
thank yoU!
You’re so awesome man, I hope to be as good as you one day
Well... I’m inspired. Time to make new doors for my house. Awesome video bro!
Yea man, try the domino technique, makes it super quick
Great Job guys! Best regards.
thanks Sergio!
Hey johnny, doors look awesome. The wood is beautiful, just a clear varnish was definitely the right choice. The shop is frigging huge dude! Best of luck & keep punchin' lol
thanks Christine! the shop is coming along, im quite excited!
Love the doors I might try something like this
Thanks Todd, Glad you enjoy em
great . always enjoy
Thanks Theresa
Mixing Festool and lowly home store brand tools in the same video? BLASPHEMY!!! :P In all seriousness now, those are some nice doors...wife wants me to make her a set!
hahaha i know. i hope the trolls dont find this one or I am toast! you should give them a try. theyre not that hard!
That's some nice camera and editing skills. I like the way you are using music. It makes those fast shot sequences pop.
Nice job
thanks Pat!
@@John_Malecki your welcome mate
Love the doors, John! I'm planning something similar to divide two conference rooms in a commercial office building, but I'll be using local woods (red oak and hackmatack) from a nearby mill here in Maine. Such doors can be heavy - I'm curious to know what you used for hardware (hinges) to hang the doors. Thanks for the video!
I just used standard front door hinges and 3" Screws for mounting. Make sure you're mounting them into the studding !
Thanks @@John_Malecki!
Bom demais valeu
Omg..you are hilarious...I listen to your videos with my headphones on..so when I laugh out loud my kids think I'm insane lol...and you do great work! I really like the intro music, is it stock?
hahaha thank you Sandra! Glad you enjoy, the intro music is not stock its from epidemic sound
Those are beautiful! You planning on putting any slow-close or self-close mechanism on em John? I'll have to check out that Enduro-var.
Nah they'll just get some epic handles and we'll call it a day haha
11:29 music too loud audio too soft
Thank you!
@@John_Malecki Got your back dude. Constructive criticism is the best to help people grow.
we're always working to get better. We actually even adjusted that before posting, we're working on dialing in the audio. seems to be an issue still but thank you for the honest opinion !
HODOR! Nice touch. :-)
Great video! 🤘🏻Doors came out amazing! The background music made it hard to hear you though.
Do you use cheap disposable brushes for spreading the glue or do you have a good way of cleaning them after use? Awesome vids, always looking forward to the next one 🤘🏻
OMG a domino !!! How dare you!! :D
Yes, i accept all the critiques!
Saaawweeeeet doors! Hey ya Macarena! 👊🏻
classic right Jon!
Great Jobs, doors came out nice, and doors can be a pain to build. I don’t ever comment on safety but man pushing that board through the jointer at 3:07 from the back. OUCH!!! I am guilty of not using push sticks but a finger hanging over the edge of a board and that’s all it takes.
yea you make a god point. i should get some push sticks !
This was awesome! I kinda wish you explained some things you did in the video. Amazing still though!!
Hammerheads as handles!
I dig that Bert!
Awesome video! Great editing. Your channel is getting better and better. It was hard for me to follow the part about getting the twist out, without more speaking.
I just used my jointer. thats all you gotta do!
Good well done. What wood did you use again for the doors
Its white oak and hickory
Hey John! (Nice name by the way.) Love your projects, but please add more full frame beauty shots at the end of your videos so we can enjoy your completed work. It ain't showin' off if the work is that good! Thanks for the videos.
Yea we have some photos on the blog! People almost always click off when it comes to those parts at the end. so we try and keep the video about the build. i'll see what i can do in the future
Did that door stile bow after running it over the jointer and final dimensioning?, or did it sneak through the process that way? One way to help avoid tension issues, if this was such, is to remove wood evenly from both sides during dimensioning to help alleviate the problem and maintain equilibrium.
Sweet wood, came out beautiful, nice work.
It just snuck through, I didnt notice it early and it got worse as it sat
Awesome video as always! Two stupid questions. 1. Are there any potential issues for wood movement between the rails and styles between those dominos? And 2. It seems as though you glossed over the glass install? Any tips on how to do that/secure it? Again. Love your vids as always, thanks mate!
The wood movement is across the grain and it shouldnt affect the dominos. The glass i simply cut the rabbet joint after I make the door rough assembly, then trim it out and hold it in with some brad nails!
@@John_Malecki Thanks so much for the reply. I know you get bombarded with messages.
12:06, "Shitters full!"
Hate when that happens
Those doors came out fantastic. Never saw that trick with the heat gun on the epoxy. Has that ever caused any issues for you? Looks to be a much faster way to level it.
It hasnt, i got it from Jonny Builds and Johnny from Crafted workshop!
Very cool sir. Question regarding the epoxy resin...after it cured you were scraping off the excess with a heat gun and a chisel. Is this a personal preference or is there an issue with just sanding or jointing it flush? Appreciate the learning opportunity and thanks for the great videos.
Just preference. Doesn’t waste paper and is much much faster
The minute I resign myself to buying a door instead of building one you lay this on me
hahahhahaa glad i could help
At the 7.5 and 11.5-ish min marks, it's hard to hear what you are saying over the music. But overall, killer build. Those doors look sweet, what are you going to use for hardware? Maybe something out of rebar for an industrial look? The shop is really coming together nicely.
we're thinking hatchets imbedded in the doors!
Awesome looking doors man. About how much did those weigh when you were finished do you think?
not too too bad. i wouldnt guess over 100lbs a piece once finished
Immediately subscribed when heard the rock guitar instrumental 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Man how much did it cost for all of your equipments
Those turned out awesome. How did you end up fixing the bow? Did you start from scratch or cut it down and replace the piece?
Ah come on BJ! I explain it in the video, gotta watch the whole thing!
@@John_Malecki 🤣🙄
Hey John
I noticed you using armor brand work bench. Have you had any experience with there pocket hole jig? If yes how would you compare it to kreg jig? Any preference? Pros & cons
Thx
Keep up the great content.
yea i just did a few posts on my IG. Its a sweet jig and I am really enjoying it ! wait till my next video, you'll get to see me use it
Wood can be soaked in Water & Held in Place Slightly in Reverse of the Bow That is Being Removed - Allow it to Completely Dry & it straightens it Out
Great build. Those doors must weigh a ton. Why did you use the band saw and jigsaw when you were roughing the boards?
Theyre heavy but not too too bad. And the jigsaw is more portable, i can take the tool to the work. I use the bandsaw to rip them down
Hey man Thanks for the response. I know I clowned you over the Festool tools but you do run a shop so if it makes it more efficient the you gotta go for it.
Couldn't help but notice the tops didn't align. I had a similar situation for a pair of closet doors. Is it simply the wood "moving" after milling (as you mentioned in regards to that wonky stile)?
nah the miss alignment in these doors comes from a crooked doorway and sloping floor. It came out when we hung them
did you have any trouble with the epoxy dying the wood around where you filled? I've had a lot of trouble with this problem and not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've been using system three epoxy and a liquid dye and had this happen on red oak and maple. I fill it and then take the excess off and basically wherever the excess spilled over to the wood was dyed there.
Using too much dye, would
Be my guess. Barely need a drop or 2
@@John_Malecki Thanks so much! That's really helpful!
Around 2:00, are you crosscutting and ripping with jigsaw/bandsaw to save on blade kerf, or is there some other reason? I ask particularly about crosscutting with the jigsaw, as it seems like it would be easier to do and get square cuts with a miter saw
im just roughing everything to size to make the pieces more manageable ont he bigger machines. i wouldnt use the bandsaw or jigsaw for squaring because of the blade flex
Cool doors! How do you like that 18v Ridgid belt sander? Sitting in my Amazon cart, I’m a little hesitant to pull the trigger.
I will be flat out honest, i didnt pay for it, or i wouldnt own it. Its under powered and bulky. I would go with a corded one and get the makita !
@@John_Malecki thanks
@@adamscustomworkshop9515 You're welcome brother !
Thinking about making my own shop doors. Will certainly be referencing this vid if I do. Question. I see lots of guys on youtube rough cutting to length using a jig saw rather than at the miter saw. Why is that? Material savings would be negligable i think. So why?
John, was that the big domino you used for the doors or the smaller one...If the larger, what size domino did ya use. Thanks
Big one! And I used 140 x 14 mm
Thanks for the quick get back.
you're welcome. I made the dominos myself too!
The right hand door seems to bow out at the top of the closing stile yet flush at the bottom. Was it the timber or is the frame in twist?
its the frame, its a bit wonky. its white oak
Nice work mate, I love making doors with my Domino XL but I too had a stile bow days after glue up, it sucks.
Yea i did some research and some pros that use this technique actually laminate their stiles to prevent that instead of using solid stock
Whos the music from? awesome shred
Great build, the doors look freakin sweet!!
#huskyboywoodworking
Doors look difficult to build. I may be building one soon for soon. Not so sure I want to now.
You need more flags. Alec Steele-style.
I agree, mostly just all branches of the military!
Круто👍💪
almost missed the hodor part, hahaha
Hahahah glad you caught it
Does anyone know if the bowing happened because the wood wasn’t allowed to breathe before using it?
No astralgal?
Forged handles. I can make them for you
we're tossing around a cool idea. i'll let you know if forging is the way
@@John_Malecki offer stands. Keep up the great work
Don`t understand is it doorhole so small or is it You so big?
