It started with a free Ikea mirror/headboard and the goal of making a barn-style sliding closet door. The mirror frame was damaged so I ended up ripping it apart and keeping just the glass mirror and then I made an entire new door from scratch. I used torsion box construction, with a large recessed area in the middle to hold the mirror.

That’s a win! One of the attributes in your videos I appreciate the most is the problem-solving.

@Wordsnwood 4 года назад

Glad to help people learn from my mistakes. I think it also makes for a more interesting story.

DIdn't realise the process for getting a flat door was that simple! Turned out really cool

@WesHamstra 4 года назад

Nice work! Black is a hard colour to paint. I feel your pain.

@Wordsnwood 4 года назад

Happy to have that big think OUT of my small shop!

Thanks! It worked out really well but I was a bit unsure of it at first!

Great project and video Art

@Wordsnwood 4 года назад

Thank's Paul... It was a big enough project that I'm glad to have it done. also glad to have that monster out of my shop -- TOO BIG for my small shop.

@snapjamwoodworks710 4 года назад

Nicely done!! Biscuit Joiner for the WIN!! My mistakes are usually not followed by such pleasant expletives... and those are followed by a self-oration that explores my lack of intelligence, lack of common sense and the ability to tie my own shoes in the morning...

Hello. I'm in the process of making 2 small barn doors with mirrors for my wife closet. This would be my first time making a barn door. I was thinking of making a frame with solid wood and setting the frame on top of a plywood sheet. 1x6 I like the idea you did adding stripes of wood for support for the mirror. Did you glue the mirror? Do you think a sheet of plywood would be okay? For a closet door? Should the plywood be 1/2 or 3/4 ? I need something flat for my mirror. Thanks

@Wordsnwood 3 года назад

I did not glue the mirror.

@garryr 4 года назад

Nice. I need to do the same thing after redoing my entire upstairs. 1.5 story so all closet doors will be custom. The CT maximum tools still working well?

@Wordsnwood 4 года назад

Working fine for me! I still prefer the lighter 12v tools for most use, but I grab the big CT drill/impact when I need the torque.

@jennifersanchez5248 3 года назад

What software do you use for the design in the video? I have been using my ipad pro and drawing my client designs, but it doesn't look quite as neat.

@Wordsnwood 3 года назад

I use SketchUP for 3D Cad. No idea if they have an iPad version

@philb2056 4 года назад

No doubt most of your viewers are in the US, but there's a whole world out there that uses metric measurements. Could we have subtitles with millimetres, please ?

@Wordsnwood 4 года назад

Fair comment, Phil. I should try to do that going forward. The underlay plywood was 4.5mm thick, The strips of wood I ripped as filler inside the door were 28-29mm thick. The hanging door hardware supported doors from 35-42mm thick. The door I built was 2083mm tall and 965mm thick. The "front panels" of the door were all 203mm wide, except for the bottom one which was 362mm tall. Of course a lot of the thickness dimensions depend completely on the sliding door hardware. As in, it all depends on how thick of a door the hardware supports.

@philb2056 4 года назад

@@Wordsnwood Thanks for your detailed reply ! I liked the project and I enjoy your approach. And when you make a (very occasional) mistake, I'm glad not to be the only one.
