Constructing a Massive Barn Door - part 1 

I actually enjoyed watching this woodwork build, and that was a good idea to build the frames en-situ. 🐸

Wow great work your farm is beautiful.

A grease fitting for future lubrication on the hinges might be a good idea.

well done

Drop everything, Steve has a new video. Thank you for making this retired carpenter’s day. 👍

Put some candle or beeswax on your screws they will go in easier.

Those doors are HUGE!!! Looking forward to part 2.

Very good. I could have watched a lot more 👍

Great work

Great work Steve

Thank you for Sharing,The barn is turning out absolutely amazing.😊

Good morning Steve. Absolutely amazing watching you make those huge barn doors 🚪 This is my favourite all round RU-vid channel of all as what you make is absolutely incredible 👍🏻 Cheerz Stevie

Extreemly nice to see. Looking forward to the next video. I love that you also show your mistakes. Very humbling.

I admire this guy.

Hey Steve The care and planning you put into everything I have watched you do, is incredible. Those doors will be there for generations to come. Take care😊

U use braceing in wrong direction. Bracing move force from hiest lose point to lower hanges, provide saging. Problem of using screws no joints are more complicated then leght or size. Are hard, then can be snapt. If wood are no kiln dry (8-12%) season moisture changes can cut screws in one point. In general U make very solid door like for barn. Maybe even to solid (hevy)

That is going to look amazing and real authentic. I noticed that the top hinge is mounted to the inside and the bottom hinge to the outside, why did they design it like that? And 2nd question, wouldn’t it make more sense for the diagonal part to use pushrod instead of pull rod in wood construction? Or is that to come in part3? I really enjoy your steady progress of rebuilding our material heritage in our landscape.

Great work Steve..you are a man of many talents and a very good tradesman..

Your deadpan malaprops...PERFECT..! But the constructs ...betray no flawed aspects...SO.. CARRY ON... LOL

Thanks for sharing your projects!

I love following you from #YSW 🇨🇦 much respect for all of your work on your videos 📹 ❤❤❤

I enjoy the house repairs and these types of rebuilding and recreating things. I was drawn to the channel when you were working on the truck, I think it's name is Rusty.

Beautiful material to work with and strong as an Ox!

Hi Steve, love your farm videos...nice clean work🙂👍

I think the worn upper pivot pin could be welded up in a series of weld applications and then ground down to specification size. But, it does seem to work well enough as is. All in all, nice work.

I suggest , you clean the surface before welding . Love your videos .

🇨🇦🤓🤙

👍👍👍👍👍

Should the diagonal brace 17 minutes into the video not go down into the post?

Millimeters? Or did you mean centimeters?

bracing wrong !!!! your bracing is useless it must work in compression not in extention, the weight pull on your screws .your non supported sides of yours doors go slowly saging . Isaac newton say this!
