Nice work Larry but to my knowledge those diagonals should be the other 45 degree oriented, they don't look heavy so I guess they'll hold up this way being under tension also, Take care
I duplicated the style of the old doors which were built with 45 degree cuts ( the diagonal cut was 55 degree angles but that was not shown in the video. Also not shown was reinforcement to the back of the new doors.) the original doors were built when the house was and lasted 17 years. Am planning to reuse some material from the old doors in a future project. You know woodworkers don’t let go of wood unless it’s absolutely necessary. Have a great day.
correct, and they are incorrectly placed. both old and new are wrong. in this case, since they're made of sheet material, the frame is mostly decorative but details matter. to those that know these doors are like being poked in the eye with a sharp stick.
The diagonal support brace is supposed to distribute the load down towards the lower hinge. The way they were built is incorrect, however long they lasted is irrelevant. I'm sure you already knew this. What was the reason to replicate an incorrect design? Edit: why not just flip them and make it right for everyones sanity?
The original doors were reproduced and though the video does not show on the back side of each door there is basically another frame added for structural integrity. And though I have not done so yet I do need to put door sweeps on the inside of each as well.
Good question. True the doors could be removed by a determined burglar. They would only access hvac duct work and a few stored tools along with ladders. The main reason for the lock is on at all is to keep curious little ones from going into the crawl space, removing the possibility of some kind of tragedy from happening.
Nice! A new woodworking channel to subscribe to! Good job with all the camera angles and transitions it looks great. The doors look great too, ofcourse. This style really lends itself to adding narrations of the project operations throughout. Nice mix of stock music and audio from the film. I would clean up the recorded audio a bit though, mainly in the quiet parts oddly enough. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comments. Thru out the videos look at the tools used. Not all, but a lot of them are old coming from my dad and his dad. They are very durable and I prefer them plus it is a connection to family.
My dad began teaching me at an early age. My grandfather built his home and most of the furniture in it. Many of the tools he used I have and use to this day.
I like your work very much. But don´t ever lock your doors from the outside. Lock them from the inside. If you and your family needs to escape due to fire or intruders, you need all the exits you can have.
Thanks. Great safety tip on the lock. The crawl space doesn’t access the living area in this house. It is tall enough to afford lots of storage space. When we first moved here 4years ago we took out the barn oak flooring that you see in the workshop. Before we built the shop all the flooring was stored in the crawl space.
Good point. I glued each board, ( the original doors did not glue) then nailed from the front side. After nailing I added screws every 5mm on the back of the doors. the build did not show that I added reinforced frame to the back of each door for additional strength as well. I need to add door sweeps to the bottom of each door soon too.

“Hey Kev! You’re doing it all wrong!”😂😂😂
Hilarious, thanks for the lite hearted feedback. I don’t know if anyone else gets your comment but I do.😅
You did a great job on those old doors.
Thanks. I’m planning to repurpose the wood from those old doors as well.

What is the function of the padlock, the hinge screws are on the outside and are easily removed with a screwdriver, tearing off the entire doors?

Why do you place the nails from the widest side of the wood? It would be better to place them from the thinner side for a better grip.
Good point. I glued each board, ( the original doors did not glue) then nailed from the front side. After nailing I added screws every 5mm on the back of the doors. the build did not show that I added reinforced frame to the back of each door for additional strength as well.
