Coming straight out of a 3 year apprenticeship and working on my own for a year and having a job like this coming up, this video is the nuts. I feel like I can turn up and do it no bother. Quality video 👊🏻
Cheer for the comment buddy, no I hadn’t had to do it before this, the customer asked me to just cut the bottom of the door off but I really wasn’t happy doing that, this was actually fairly straight forward to do mate 👍🏻
All sorted bit of struggle had to remove 150mm so could not cut bottom rail off completely,managed with small multi tool blade in end of stile cut through 👍tenon
Hi, fantastic vid, clear and easy to follow ( even though I've not actually tried it😂). How do you tackle a door frame thats crooked? In essence, i need to remove 2 mm at the top and bottom BUT about 8 mm in the middle😮. Is there a method to remove the excess from withing the door frame?
Great idea! I recently had to fit a painted one of these doors that was 1850mm high. I got quotes from XL and other suppliers. It would have cost around £300-£350 for 1 bespoke factory door and had a 21 week lead time! The price was one thing, but the lead time was too much.
Well, I’m just a serious DIYer and your video helped me a lot. Finished the cut down, presently hanging it. I particularly liked the wax stick trick, where you hide the small imperfections. I’d never heard of that! I’ve now ordered mine and can’t wait to mask the tiny gaps. Clear audio too. You deserve an Oscar 😂
@@chrismcandrew1041 that’s awesome mate ! Really glad I could help ! Yes that wax stuff is a life saver at times I can tell you ! Keep me posted with how it comes out !
Great content mate be interested to see you do a video on doing one of these for a cupboard under stairs with an angled cut on it as well.....as ive got one coming up to do 😂 keep up the good work
Great video . I wonder if you could give me a little advice, got to trim down a oak veneer door past the allowance I can takeoff 9 mm from the bottom but i have got to take off 30 mm i’m not sure how these doors are put together at the bottom are they hollow inside? If so, I could put a bit of batten up at the bottom does anybody have any ideas what I could do?
Hi Lee, no they are not hallow mate, there as solid core chipboard, you should be fine to cut it down no worries, only thing to consider is it will take on monster if I a wet area, it might be worth putting a thin lipping on the bottom. Hope that helps
