How to Cut Down a Door Slab | How to fill in a door web 

Thanks! Glad to find a fellow Dr Pepper enthusiast! And I love my push stick! I used one wrong once and it got thrown back into the palm of my hand. Experience is a good teacher 🤣

No problem! Glad it helped!

I’m glad this helped! Thanks for watching. Make sure your brother pays you in some Dr Pepper!

It’s been super handy in a pinch!

I was hoping the greatest take away would be of the importance of hydrating with Dr Pepper, but I won’t complain about it being that clamp!

The clamp? lol, I don’t need an straight edge to cut straight🤣 just an square & pencil and I’ll run circles around this rookie all day.

@@deejayft8218 I don’t work in construction or carpentry and cut wood with a skilsaw MAYBE 5-6 times a year so I like the clamp

Cool. Sounds like what my framer would say. I'd love to see it done and the quality of the cut for an interior door. Make sure you use your framing blade, it cuts better! (Pops popcorn, ready to watch). @@deejayft8218

@@berlinbuilds lol, of course, he wouldn’t be a good framer if he didn’t trash talk someone who needs an straight edge to cut straight, …this isn’t your weekend builder here, I build 24/7 so I know my crap, I even know how to keep the saw straight with NO LINE! just use the guides that’s literally engraved in the saw…but I understand if you just working within your capabilities, you learn to crawl b4 you walk.

Thanks man! I love my 5 in 1! I think I’d be a bit crippled without it!

@@berlinbuilds As a trim guy it’s a must have tool for sure!

​@Berlin Builds Are you in Berlin NJ?! Can ya cut 8" off a door for me?

If only we could get everyone to “hop” on board 😎

@@berlinbuilds Sponsors be missing out!!

@@T-kind You're right! If I could get the Dr Pepper sponsorship I'd probably die from happiness!

Thank you! I haven’t needed to clamp the door to the table, it’s been pretty stable just setting there 👍 Solid core would definitely be easier because you wouldn’t need to fill anything back in. They’re also better for sound not transferring through the door.

Safety eyelashes amigo, safety eyelashes 😎

Haha, you should look into getting at least a couple feelings for sure! I think pin nails are kind of an under appreciated tool. It’s awesome the amount of things you can do with them. I definitely was overkill on the amount I put in 😆 I hadn’t thought about giving the door a chamfer. Thanks for the idea!

@@berlinbuilds I just saw this and thought about you smartsaker.com/products/woodworking-planer-set It seems to fit the bill perfectly, if it only works!

Haha, thanks man! I’ve seen those around and have wondered about them. I do really like your idea of chamfering the edge once you cut them down!

Where do u buy 2” pins? All my guns shoot 1 3/8 pins? Is there a particular gun your using? Or R u talking brads? Finish? 15’s?

@@zephyr1408 I have a Hitachi/Metabo that shoots up to 2" 18ga brad nails. $70 at Lowe's.

Yes. It may look a little funny depending on the door style

I actually feel confident to try this after watching!

Haha, right? The door was under an HVAC drop if I remember right so the standard height door wouldn’t fit!

I see what you are saying. This one was going in a basement with a dropped ceiling area so this is a 6-8 prehung door that I was cutting down to fit. Otherwise we’d be looking at ordering a custom door for more money and a longer time waiting for the delivery.

@@berlinbuilds ok that makes sense I was watching and telling myself the guy is def skilled (most guys could not tell you what a compound cut is) but I understand. Well your ready to either keep working doing contracts or work subbing out to a contractor trimming homes? I finally just work for one GC doing customs and truthfully it’s a blessing ! Wishing u the best buddy!

That’s awesome man! Doing customs would be a lot of fun! I’ve actually pivoted to doing more work as the general contractor now while still trimming my own jobs. It’s hard to get away from trim, it’s just too much fun!

@@berlinbuilds Buddy I would stick to improving your mill works skills!! It’s like we hv a ton of framers? However few very production trim Carpenters!! I do cabinets, doors , base , crown, make doors, make custom trim, vanities, all finish work except siding and floors!! That area is very specific pro work! I acquired maybe $75,000 in tools & own them all! Young as you are sit down w/the wife & explain the tools I buy feed us & u hv to be on board or else we spin our wheels never really growing!! Often 1/2 half of the equation believes it’s overboard & silly? Whereas u end up buying new cars, fancy furniture, mod clothing, you know stuff that does nothing to feed you!!!!! Gotta hv the tools to make the money! Example; using a homemade track and skillsaw to make those cuts?? I throw up my track saw and 39” track and saw 20 doors in half the time it takes you no matter how good u are!! Not throwing rocks I was once there! Until I realized I need to set myself apart from the mix! Ok buddy I am not really that good trust me I learn every single day!

@zephyr1408 please tell me where to find a 72 inch door, zephyr! My basement won't allow anything bigger--unless I cut into the sill plate. . .come do my door!
