Farmhouse Workshop | 'The Humble Oak Door' 

Spectacular job ! I'm a big fan of your work. I'm also a fan of the raw sound of the work being done....maybe less music next time ?? Keep it up.

The first half of the ru-vid.comUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

Probably the best Ryan's Shed Plans on building a shed is hardly found ever . ru-vid.comUgkxcLVQopTIucrxiVRQA0khLGQEnDVKCSMG And Ryan's takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

First video of yours that I have come across. I’m a woodworker of 45 plus years experience - as a serious hobby and sometime business. Lovely work. There are many ways to do something right and a few ways to do it wrong. These are therefore observations and not criticisms in any way - I use a lot of European oak sleepers to produce both country and fine furniture. It’s a lot of work in preparation but I have found that I get as good a quality timber as I do when I buy “premium”. Now retired, that extra prep time is not an issue. - the hardness of the sleepers varies but is generally harder than timber yard stuff. More prep time but more durable product? - I have to get help - human and/or rollers - to handle the long lengths. Bloody heavy. - I either cut my sleepers on the band saw or table saw. Sometimes it is so hard that I have to cut the width down and then glue back in order to avoid stress on the machines. When reglued, you really can’t see the join - personally, I don’t like those resin table where it’s 50/50 resin and timber. I made a few for customers but that’s business. However, using smaller amounts of resin do mean that there is less waste. For instance, I would not have cut off the knots but dug them out and put in resin. Observation, not criticism - timber movement due to changes in weather does not seem to happen in the UK anywhere near as much as in the USA. However, I would be fearful in completely glueing on a breadboard edge on a door for a bathroom, fearing that the greater amount of moisture one side would cause warping (hence breadboard ends) but also splitting (no room for the verticals to move). Just me being over cautious and if your way works, please tell me and I can be more flexible in making my doors! As I say, my first video of yours but, notwithstanding that we are nearing the end of a large barn conversion (modern barn but balanced by a lot of my product in oak, chestnut, plane, cherry and some Australian timbers bought back with me). So, I will be subscribing and watching your library. Great stuff.

Hello Carl, I have a place very similar to yours, near Confolens Haute Vienne. I must say your videos are an enormous help in understanding the work and principles going into the projects. To a lay person like me, employing artisans, it is brilliant the way you explain the work (and edit the videos). I have an identical small barn earth floor, and about to be excavated and floor laid. I now feel I can talk to the wonderful builders without sounding like an idiot. Many thanks for your YT videos, well done.

That door is so beautiful. There is something about using old wood in an old building that gives the place character that you just cannot get from new wood. A lovely piece of carpentry that you should be proud to have made from scratch.

You are the most careful measurer I have ever seen. It is so cool to see such meticulousness turn lumps of oak into such a bright, smooth, strong door that looks like it could last 100 years! Awesome stuff!

What a beautiful door! Reusing old wood gives the door more character using your masterful skills. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

Nice work ..having a $2,000 …75 pound bathroom door certainly defines the arts and crafts movement… very nice work

you and your dad do quality work. it is a pleasure to watch you do it. love it when people take pride in their work.

It was a pleasure to watch this door come to life. Bravo!

I think using the old oak was a great idea. And the knots give it character. Wonderful job

You are a real wood master. I liked your roof project.

What an achievement! Scrap to a thing of beauty. Great to watch.

Great craftsmanship and seeing something from what others would burn. I have built a few table tops like this and the first one I glued the tongue on like you did and it cracked. Learned later from a master that the tongue just keeps it straight and dowels driven through each plank are what holds it in place

You never cease to amaze me. Your work is flawless and beautiful

That loose shirt around the saw gives me the shivers! Lovely work and choice workshop!

Surprised I haven't come across your channel sooner! Loved the craftsmanship and the camera work in this. It gives me hope, as carpenter in London that there is still quality craftsmanship around! Definitely worth following!

Don't know how I stumbled across your page, but such a calming video to watch an unfold. Absolute quality work !!

Roman Toilets were next to the kitchen...without doors... I learn so much from this channel.

What a fantastic looking door. Really loved the video, thanks for sharing

Carl, awesome up cycling of antique oak timber - you have an awesome skill set!

Very impressive work on that oak door. It looks really wonderfull. I also use glue and sawdust at my projects to fill gaps in our 190 year old cottage , as I try to use as much as I can from the old logs stored in my barn. I was lucky to find them 2 years ago from an ruined 300 year old house 30 kilometers away.

Recently came across your videos and subscribed after watching a few of them. Decided to go to the first one and watch them in order of time. Why have you not invested in a quality used bandsaw is beyond me. Every time I see you doing those multiple rips on your saw to split a 8x12 into smaller planks I cringed in fear that you will lose more than a finger. Think of the time you could save as well as fingers! And you should also consider tucking your shirt into your pants when you are using the jointer! I have been working in the custom architectural woodworking business since 1973, and I have tremendous respect for the skills that you have shown to have at such a young age. Your father must have been doing this kind of work at the same skill level for quite a long time and he has taught you very well. I look forward to seeing the rest of the videos. God bless you and your family.

Yay! Another episode of the farm rebuild chronicles! Keep up the good work!

Beautiful! Love the Hardware you put on the door! Stunning!

Amazing work. Chilled music. Great video 👍

Recently found your channel. Your woodworking skills are amazing!

Like the vibe and your shop is fresh and spacious. Great project

That door is so beautiful. Just beautiful

Love the craftsmanship 👌🏽 Very nice

Fantastic work.....and great soundtrack too!

Oh man, good to see another video. I like your work a lot.

Fantastic work, it just goes to show what can be created with the knowhow and tools, top job.

Marvelous job... very good use of those sophisticated tools...

I can watch this all day long. You are doing things I want to do

Beautiful door. Very solid! Thanks for sharing.

It’s beautiful you do beautiful work people would love a solid wood door like that I know I would. Be proud of your awesome work!

The door is beautiful! I would never replace it should the thought cross your mind. I love the knots in the wood.

you give a good prospective of how the did it in the old days. Great Job and it looks awesome.

Love watching your channel. So uniquely different. Thank you.

Excellent work. Love working with oak

Klasse Arbeit. Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt. Viel Spaß weiterhin!

Nice work. This is on my to-do list for my office desk!!!

This is worth subscribing for! Looking forward to see new projects.

Fabulous craftsman ship on the door congratulations the locking mechanism and hinges are a fabulous choice 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Amazing work from start to finish

Simple yet so effective. Great work.

Amazing ! Thank you for your dedication to a craft we haven't seen in decades !

Looks fantastic. Great work 👌

For an oak door, it is good to install hinges and a lock forged by a blacksmith. The same design was on the doors in the house of my business in the Urals. But those doors are over a hundred years old. Great job, man.

Nice work, Carl. I very much enjoy your videos.

this was a pleasure to watch. thank you.

Also a huge fan particularly the level of care you take thinking through you design as well as the execution. I'm also a huge fan of the music as it drives the narrative so continue to use where appropriate. Thank you.

Great to watch and an amazing job!

This is pure ART!

Beautiful transition from the old roof beam.

What a beautiful use of old wood.

Bloody excellent job mate👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

great video and craftsmanship mate! well done - not a door, an art piece!

What a beautiful door, good job.

This is almost like ASMR. So relaxing!

A simple design made with beautiful oak, can’t be bettered. 😃👌👌👏👏👏🇦🇺

Carl, nice oak door, I made a similar one for our local church, I used all the old metal furniture and treated it with weatherproofing and lots of oil as it was for the top of the tower, so one side always to the elements, had to haul it up the outside of the tower as it would not fit around the internal spiral staircase!

I'm 2 minds. Love the raw ambient sounds. Love the music. Def room for both. You have a talent for curating either.

Now who'd have thought there was a beautiful bathroom door hiding in that rough old purlin? Good job!

That is not a Humble Oak Door. That is a master piece!

Fine woodworking master & top video 👍🏼

Nice work. Thanks for sharing. I lived in a Georgian house that had the floorboards cut into any old shape and fitted like a jigsaw. No piece was more than 8' long, most shorter. Added character, although it was a bit of a job to replace the bits butchered out by generations of gas(light) and electrical fitters. We converted the butler's quarters/dairy/silversafe into a large breakfast room. As it was so damp, we suspended the floor. We got the cheapest oak boards we could find and roughly laid them out to acclimatise for a few months - you know these old neglected houses, always something else to do. We used farriers nails to fix them down after a lead on handmade nails dried up. We did have to drill each hole... twice. We had quite a few knots to deal with. I used some epoxy left over from a car body kit. That worked really well. A bit of tape on the underside, and slowly pour it in. Relatively thin, so it flowed nicely. Best of all, controllably so you could stop just as the hole filled. Quick blitz with a sander and job done. It looked just like a live knot, and the oiled finish worked well around it.

Only a mouse missing from your beautiful woodworking son Fabulous skills 😳😳👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Love it!!.....Magistral en su simpleza!!

As someone has already said ‘that oak door is not humble’. It is beautiful 👏👏👏

Hi, man...congratulations what a amazing project...👍👍👍👍👍

Wow you have so many powertools I've never seen before. Great job btw👌

Very very nice job. Amazing skills and the video is good. Thanks

Fantastic job, you should be so proud of that 👍

Your workshop is charming!

Great work and project! The hardware was perfect on that door as well.

Such expertise and patient application in a person as young as you, Carl, is extraordinary! Your professional ethic gives me hope for the future. Please keep posting these videos for others to see what it takes, and what one gets back, even from a humble sh*t house door! (I would have liked to have seen a small flat iron kickplate at the foot with a coat hook on the back. You should emboss all your work with a small "CR" logo, comme il faut, it's that good!)

I've seen all your Videos. I Like the "trash booster door". Regards from Switzerland

A lot of work but really worth it for that beautiful door, it’ll outlive me . Subscribed 👍

Very nice door. I like "breadboard" edges, that Aldi router can't be bad clean cutting hardwood 👍 great videos thanks

Absolutely beautiful, loved the music too!

STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL ...recycling at it's best ...from Queensland

Fantastic effort. It really was turning a pigs ear into a silk purse. The door is outstanding.

Hello. Very Nice Project. I like this style. Oak wood and cast Iron parts. Good Job

Very good job!! Congratulation!

Lovely work. Good to know it's not just my makita belt sander that blows its dust bag off without some optional extras.

Fantastic work
