Friction hinge (annoying door fix)

Sometimes we must stop what we are doing in our lives, and shift our focus- to that really annoying problem that has such an easy solution. This is a constant occurrence for most of us, and chasing these "simple" solutions can quickly overrun us, so we learn to tune many of them out. And here the problem sits, on the back-burner of our consciousness, until, late one night, on a simple trip for a swig of water and a piss, we are pulled out of our dreamlike state of semi-blissful delirium by a door to the face.
I'm in the middle of making a few videos that are far more complicated than this one. It has actually become pretty confusing. Two of these are almost done, and the one that I will be releasing first, tentatively titled "puzzle-top bench," has become quite a project. There was this white rabbit problem, you see. This problem has caused the video to become far more involved than I had planned. If you are reading this, then I think that you will truly appreciate it when it is finished. But until then, here is a simple vid that I made quickly, just to take a break from the rabbit situation for a bit.

@WhitentonMike
@WhitentonMike 10 лет назад
Good fix. I've done this myself in the past. The fix does place some additional stress on the hinge to door and hinge to jam areas. This will cause the screws to eventually strip. The fix for this is to get some screws that are 1.5" longer. The additional thread area will help prevent stripping and will ensure the jam screws are deep into the jam studs. You may also notice the jam flexing. If so, the casing will need to be removed and additional wedges and screws may need to be installed to prevent twisting.

Great plane technique. Will it also work to trim my toenails? Good idea for a fix. I actually just (like 30 minutes ago) did the opposite, sort of: I oiled a set of squeaky door hinges that have been driving me crazy. Finally, screw the idiots who leave stupid, mean comments. I find your voice to be a beautiful narration tool. Quite soothing and perfectly intelligible. Unlike my stuttering, stammering pipes.

@pocket83
@pocket83 10 лет назад
I was thinking about opening a second (satirical) channel, where I would present an idea as though it were the one _and only_ correct way to do something; there would be strict and specific instructions for simple things. I would end each segment with something like "you are entitled to your opinion, but you are wrong." As an operator of a channel with a few million hits, I was surprised by how many people are already experts on everything. That being said, anyone who would disagree with my methods would be swiftly berated, insulted, and ridiculed. -Do you think this is a good idea?- I mean... this is a great idea for a channel, and if you don't think so, you're stupid.

Sean Mohundro Wow, thanks. No, I was _not_ familiar with that. I would imagine that you have heard of this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law, because this: David Rees and Blackwing Pencils: Artisanal Pencil Sharpening was a clear-cut example of the concept. Thanks for the laugh!

My goodness. When hammering with a hand plane, try to strike the blade area as well for maximum bite. I find the combination of a cold chisel and expensive hand plane to be optimal.

@patrickmorrissey2271
@patrickmorrissey2271 8 лет назад
2:21 I cracked up laughing!!! Didn't realize you had such a sense of humor!!! I'm still laughing.... There's some other RU-vidrs out there who just dropped a deuce in their pants when they saw you smack the chisel on the metal, with a handplane!!!! Hahahaha! Oh, you killed me with that.... I have a theory about hand planes. You might be the right guy to hear this. Ready? Okay. The Hand Plane was invented by sadists. They enjoy the suffering of another person. The Hand Plane Myth is perpetuated by RU-vidrs, who make videos showing a hand plane doing things. A guy sits there (3 feet from a 20 inch power planer, oddly enough) and hand planes a board, and it looks so easy. So I try that, and it doesn't work. It sucks. So then more videos come out, basically saying "you don't have your hand plane 'set up' correctly, here's how you set it up...." So, I do that, keep trying, still nothing. Now more videos come out and they say "you didn't sharpen the blade correctly, here's how to properly sharpen the blade".... And then "you should buy this different expensive blade from this website..." and on and on and on..... Where, the bottom line is, the thing doesn't work. That's why people invented power planers. That's why people BUY power planers every day.... Hand held ones, benchtop ones, big wide super factory ones.... Because they WORK. These hand plane people enjoy my suffering.... At least, they used to. I gave mine away. I'm "out" on this whole "hand planer" thing.... So, using it as a hammer, really did delight my little black heart..... Someone finally found a reasonable use for one of those things.... Use it for a hammer!!! (Okay, look, to people reading this comment, I'm kidding.... Well, I'm 73.815% kidding....)

You could just open the door and nail it to the wall. Knock a hole in the door to hang a hammer by its head. Then when you want to close the door you pull out the nail and the door closes itself. When you're done, nail it back to the wall.
@grinder_.
@grinder_. 10 лет назад
Can the door still swing shut or do you have to manually pull the door closed every time?
@pocket83
@pocket83 10 лет назад
Right now, manually. I made the hinge _too_ tight; it takes very little of an adjustment. It will wear. If not, I have a pile of other hinges to practice with.
@fulla1
@fulla1 9 лет назад
What if you turned the pins of every other hinge upside down? There would be enough friction for the door to stay open, but maybe the upside-down pins might come down or even fall out... That's just me thinking of an even easier solution...

I have a quick question, I am in the market for a new drill / impact driver combo. I am stuck between the Makita brand like yours, and the Ridgid (sic) brand. Any preferences? How do you like your Makita? Any experience with Ridgid?
@pocket83
@pocket83 10 лет назад
Yes. I have a very strong opinion. Mine is a BTD142. I have used previous models of this Makita, and I have plenty of experience with various similar impacts from other brands. I have not owned the Ridgid, but I have used it. Mine is the pinnacle of design for this tool; it has the right weight, balance, and features. It is nearly at an optimum, and it is the _only_ power tool that I will endorse without hesitation. If anything were different, it would suffer for it.

can you still swing the door closed or is there enough friction to where you have to push it all the way?

Steel is kind of springy, if you try to do it with the pin in it will likely spring out ever so slightly never getting the desired tightness.

@MrMagicBlox
@MrMagicBlox 7 лет назад
I had a good laugh when you started smacking the plainer on the chisel. Too funny Also, I imagine the increased friction on the lower hinge would affect the load distribution, which would in turn affect the areas supporting the load. Have you seen any unusual wear to the frame of your door @Pocket83 ?
@pocket83
@pocket83 7 лет назад
No. It's just a lightweight passage door. There's literally cardboard inside of them. This trick can't be expected to work for steel or solid doors, which, given their mass, should be installed properly in the first place. In contrast, passage doors on these baby-boomer era production houses were thrown in quickly by a single installer, often a dozen or more in an easy afternoon. Thus, one can expect some "variation."
@ejorgensen9586
