Arch Door build 

Impressive that a heavy duty door can be built only with dowels. Great work

would be cool if you could have some commentary . good work 🤙

Very nice. I’m an experienced woodworker (45 plus years; mainly serious hobby but sometime small business). My, how methods have changed in those times. Use the most efficient methods that there are - particularly adhesives. What Chippendale would have done for PU or PVA glues! I’m just starting on building 4 doors and frames all in the Tudor arch stile. There are all going to be internal and totally out of timber. For stability, I shall be using a lot of MRMDF. All the curves are complex and so I can’t use the router compass method. I’ve taken a photo of a style and had it approved. Then I used BigPrint to blow the pdf up to actual sizes (3 different sizes of doors and frames). Now I’m just starting to take a trace from the big print; then make a master MDF template and then make the real things. Im able to use the existing internal doors as the core of the new doors - with both sides covered and mouldings applied. It’s all straight forward if you take each step by itself and maintain absolute accuracy. Success for me is accuracy and consistency - that comes from experience and patience.

Excellent worksmanship

Excellent work you really inspired me to get my ass off the computer and start working Thanks for sharing beautiful work

Beautiful! The process is very useful, for some reason I assumed you could just build the frame and then add the side light later... apparently not. That means more work for me but it makes sense that it would be stronger this way.

Very impressive...I learned plenty. Keep it up!

Very nice!

너무 멋져요~~

Sweet job Bro!

good job 👍👍

Nice... I enjoyed just watching, great job man...

Beautiful arched door. I love the original design. What is that jointer/planer combo? I'm in the market for one. I'm subscribing because I love this door, but I agree a voiceover would be nice with some tips on making it.

I'd looooooove a custom door built by you for my arch! Do you take orders????

How much would the frame alone cost to have built by someone such as yourself? I have been looking high and low and not even finding much online about it. I have an 1800's arched oak French door I'd like to install in a chapel. Finding someone to do the frame has been futile. Central Texas in case anyone is out there. I was contemplating learning to do this myself…but alas. I am a realistic to a point. I hate to add blasphemy here, but is there anything pre cut manufactured out there that might work in a pinch? At the end of the day, we need to get this done. Thank you for such an inspirational thing to watch…

Eres chingon

Thanks for uploading. Which model ryobi router did you use?

if you dont cover then blade up on that jointer one day tour hand is going to slip and your going to lose most of your hand, and also i carnt believe you let go of that crosscut saw mid cut the pass your hand right infront of it your crazy. besides that you did a amazing job it looked awesome at the end, can i as how you allowed for the timber movement with all those rails in between the stile on the door i imagine they grow a tone if / when they take on any moisture which they eventually will

I have build over 400 doors many of them are arches .... currently building 16 arch doors 15 arch windows for a house ..... we build arches differently here in the Caribbean

beautiful....what kind of wood?

Nice job As I saw your are using a foam or expanded glue ?? Is that strong as normal or traditional glue??

Beautiful! My favorite so far. The wood, was it Mahogany?

You should really use more glue.

A couple of things One, a bit of machine wax on your planner/thicknesser would help the job no end Secondly, I’m very surprised you glued all those panels together as normally you would fit bottom, bottom and mid rails and let the rest free. Are you not concerned about seasonal expansion and contraction?

Beautifull door and great skill but i believe this door is not going to last long. It doesn't seem that you considered wood movement and it will be prone to cracking twisting and all of that stuff. I hope i am wrong.

I love arched doors

Where can I buy this door?

Seasonal movement will destroy that door with how it is constructed.

No voice? Explanations.... honestly that is why I am not subscribing. I want to learn not just watch. Take care, You need to get personal if you want subscribers. Good skills.

Music has got to stop sucks.

Here in the UK there is no way the frame would be dowelled, it would be mortice and tennoned.... Likewise the door, at least the top and bottom rail, and probably the lock rail also.
