The way you think never ceases to amaze me! Thanks for all you do for your subscribers.

Great Idea John. I like the wooden wheels. I do have an additional idea for the center of the wheel. Being a plumber I work with pvc pipe. If you use 1 1/2'' pvc for the center of your wheel and then use 1'' for the piece for it to roll on in the center you will have a very smooth surface and never have to lubercate it. They fit inside each other nicely. I cut the 1'' pvc slightly larger than the 1 1/2'' pvc. I then used a 1/4'' carriage bolt to tie it all together with. The nut on the back side was sunk in with a washer on the rear so as not to hit the wall. I also used a couple of 1/4'' fender washers 1 1/2'' OD on each side of the 1'' pvc pipe. Not really a must but makes it a little better yet. I also cheat by using my home built cnc machine to build with. Thanks for your efforts. Jerry

I love your simple but ingenious way of thinking things through. I'm an old Kentucky country boy,and I was raised if its made.....you can make it work with wood! Thanks for all your hard work. I know there is alot more thinking that goes into your work than it seems in the length of the videos. Thanks again.

I am sitting here just smiling at how cleaver and creative you are! Very nice sliding door, simply blown away!

Brilliant! I love the way you use whatever you have on hand rather than buying store bought hardware. Very inspirational.

Love the construction of the doors’ rollers as well as the look of the finished door. Real classy look. Thanks for sharing John

The quality of your content & craftsmanship is an order of magnitude better than any other diy channel. Please keep up the great work!

Excellent, making it all out of wood. Thanks for showing this video. I like it.

Cool project, love the caulk tube bushing!

Every one of your projects is valuable but some stand out with a special excellence. This is one them.

I'm impressed with your "vision" and even more impressed with the execution.. wooden wheels "FANTASTIC"

John this is amazing. I love your work brother. I love your overall theme of making things out of wood that are usually metal. For a plywood door it sure came out beautiful. Maybe for fun you could make a set of rack and pinion gears instead of the round wheels

When I saw you had like slots in the door top I thought you'd put the roller struts inside the door so there's a flush surface on the outside and it would offset the door from the wall for future trim. Love your videos and professionalism. Your projects are always stunning and an encouragement to me to take your path. Thank you!

That looks really nice! I have to admit, I click the "like" button on every video you post before they even start, and they never disappoint!

John, I really appreciate your creativity and talent. Thank you for your time and effort in creating content for us all to enjoy and learn from. All the best.

I missed this video somehow. My only remark was I wanted you to show off the finished door longer at the end. Thanks, I always learn so much!

Pretty awesome design John, not only is it inexpensive and practical but it looks great

What an incredible project ! Genius design , simple and perfect !

This is simple compared to many of your other projects, but I have to honestly tell you, it is one of my favorites of yours. Well, done!

I really like the look of the wooden wheels. Great idea with the plastic bushings.

the wood track matching the door looks real clean. this is much more better looking than the black metal tracks sold in stores. i’ll use this at my house. nice job !

I've been wanting to make a small barn door but haven't found the hardware to fit what I want... I think you're onto something here!

Brilliant - if I ever need a "barn door" you're my man - I saved this video to help me make my barn door. If you have plans you'll get my $$.

Looks great John, I like the wooden wheels.

Nice ! The stop blocks hidden in the rail with the angle cut was a genius idea ! Great design for the all door, love it !

can't believe how beautiful Plywood can look, great job John 😉

Very nice job indeed. Always satisfying to see a job built start to finish. Nicely done.

Very nice. With apopriate tools and talent we can do anything. Thanks for idea.

I'm not a fan of the "barn door" look, but without the iron wheels and track, using the wood for rollers and track, you made me a convert. Thanks.

Felicitaciones, lo más ingenioso que vi hasta ahora. Saludos desde Argentina

Very nice project.. very simple even for the inexperienced guy a d yet it looks so original... thank you for sharing

I made hardware for doors on my TV cabinet from screen door rollers and aluminum flat bar, was thinking of using pulleys for a full size door , hadn't considered using wood, your idea is a good option because you can make all of it

Beautiful. Pls consider making more to sell.

The fit and finish of your work doesn't get enough love. Love the wood track and wheels.

🙄. Seriously underrated! Your projects are inspiring and your talent undeniable! Keep it up John! I love your work!

Man, you are such a crafty mo-fo. That's a great solution and looks nice with the rest of the room.

Pretty sharp looking.

The door and whole system came out great.

Another bit of brilliance. Thank you! There was a door with this style slider at my old work place. It must be well over 100 years old and well over a ton and is still in daily use. I reckon the design stands the test of time!

This is what I was looking for. Now I can plan my chances in my home.

Nice video, Great door. Love the ingenuity.

You are the smartest man I've never met.

Just simple and very useful thanks, buddy.

Hermosa puerta, me dieron ganas de ser carpintero y comprar esas herramientas que son una maravilla para la realización de las puertas !

Excellent idea and technique. I really like it.

very cool door and the light feature above the door is very nice also!

Not only it rolls, but it also rocks. Good job.

I like your style, cheap as possible but still built good.

I was thinking about the same thing for a bedroom closet door but was wondering about the type of bearing to use; Thanks for the Genius solution, now I just need to come up with the time to do this. I love your videos

I can't show this one to my wife, or I will have to make one for her. Nice work, love your videos. Thanks

This is awesome. I'm not a fan of the regular rolling barn door style but this is way more tasteful. I don't know why, maybe it's more home looking and less industrial.

I really admire the way your engineer your projects.

Nice looking sir. I make all my barn doors. Rollers and track too.

Amazing! Your genius blows my mind all the time. Great work again.

Amazing! Love your wood shop!

Looks much better than those "barn doors" that are popular these days

Gran trabajo amigo !! Saludos desde mí país argentina 🇦🇷

For an inside door, the use of wooden wheels and a slotted track is very slick or cool. Most of the wheels are usually metal pulleys and metal track.

Гениально! Это самое крутое видео про раздвижные двери, что я видела!!!! Просто отлично! И наверное не шумное, отличии от металла. Вы супер столяр!

I love the work, more can i not say!!!! Best wishes for the next work from Bavaria for you and the family all the best. RESPECT from Martin. Thank's for this Video. 💯💯💯💯💯🆒️🆒️🆒️🆒️🆒️🗜🔨🗜🔨🚪🚪🚪🚪📏📐📏📐

Drilling out the 4 holes around the wheel was well worth it. It looks great in motion.

Looks surprisingly good for being mostly plywood, but you did say you were selective. I like it and might want to try this someday so thanks for sharing!

BRILLIANT this mans a genius.

John Heisz , congratulations on your work, greetings from Brazil

You sir are a genius! This is going to save hundreds of dollars on buying store bought hardware. Thank you.

😊 😊 😊 Very nice I like it. It's beautiful. 😊 😊 😊

Looks great. In my opinion looks better than mixing wood and metal hardware and you can stained and wax.

I love the wood hardware. What a money saver!! The door looks great.

Nice door! I must admit, when you built the painted doors, I didn’t think about building my own. Now that I’ve seen one stained/clear coated, I’m definitely building one of your doors. You do great work and I learn a ton from every video.

Thanks for the video. I will probably be using this design to make a door for my bedroom. The only thing I would change is I will probably screw the stops from the bottom instead of gluing them like you did. That way if I want to slide the door off I can unscrew the stops and slide out. Thanks again. You get a new sub.

Excellent build

Design, building, and video presentation all get "A+" from me. Just subscribed.

nice work John, watching from Zimbabwe.

Beautiful John

Love this idea and I think you made the right call by not painting the hangers black (It's not a red door after all). Looks awesome :)

You can't help but love this door and track, definitely a money saver and a cool idea!!! 💯% 👍🇬🇧

Parabéns,você é um gênio da marcenaria.

Just finished the weekendshift and now watched the video. Already + 39k views. This deserves +150k views in short time, and preferably lots more ( so a tripple or quadruple ??😀) !!! Excellent build and article , but excellent is the standard here!👍👌

Definitely cheaper than buying metal hardware! It’s a different look but I like it. Great thinking on the use of a plastic bushing.

У вас золотые руки!Вы молодец!Очень-очень красиво!!!Успехов вам и здоровья!

This is great, John! I think these types of projects are your best. Super creative in finding new ways to tackle common projects. Just the techniques alone here set your experience apart from others. Thanks!

This really looks so natural and I think This is just what I'm gonna do in my next project, big thank!

Really great design, love the simple recycled bushings!

I love this video! I’ve thought about diy “sliding barn door” styles often. This is a very helpful and inspiring demonstration!

Nice job... It looks way better than store bought

Nice work John. Roll on brother...

I'm amazed you could make the door on your temporary bench top extensions, and not have to do it on the floor (for flatness). Good to know there's another easier way than kneeling on a hard floor.

Very nice John. I built my own when my son was born for his room. Looks great!

I really like that design. Especially the wooden wheels.

This is really awesome! Barn door hardware is so damned expensive, it's so great to see a substantially cheaper alternative, especially one that you can customize to look so great.

Really great work! Digging the concept of no metal in a sliding door... It really looks great. 👌

Absolutely genius. Proud to be Canadian

I like your ideas for the rollers

I like the all wood look, it’s different!

congratulations , your work is wonderfull ,

Baik sekali pintu dorong sangat praktis dan efisiensi ruangan tank you !

Amigp me gustó mucho tu trabajo hermosa puerta te felicito

Hebat, alat-alatmu begitu lengkap sangat membantu mengembangkan ide kreatif👍

I like projects like this that involve homemade hardware.
