Thankyou mike, appreciate it!

Agreed

thankyou Michael!

haha thankyou James

Thanks Owen, great to hear tbh. cheers bud

I get better at sketchup every time i use it so keep going. I dont considder myself good at it in any way. still muddling on lol

Thanks, Yeah its the reason for making the info available as where do you learn this stuff if you didnt do an apprenticeship

Cheers Paul

Thanks, and yeah i will try to.

Thankyou for your support David

Thanks Phillip

Cheers Paul. Yes, other than watching someone as thing all the bits they are doing wrong! lol

🤣🤣🤣👌

Lol

I can confirm it looks pretty nice

Thankyou!

THankyou Maurice

Thanks mate, ive never made a frame completely by hand, other than a miniature at college haha

Thankyou

thankyou!!

Legend, thanks

PS. The SketchUp drawing would be great. With the video and drawings it would be good to show Interior Architecture students.

Thankyou Graham, the video and drawing os on my website now if you want to have a look

By deleting the face? Or by pressing K on keyboard to show back edges

If you select 'materials' and one of the translucent glasses. Perhaps 'translucent blue' @@BradshawJoinery

i thought that joke was about scarecrows! haha thanks Ray

Cheers Vinny

Allan the drawings are on my website, thanks mate

Cheers Steve

thanks, its ont he website now

And now you’ve given us the link, the angle rule will soon be on its way to me! 👍🏼

thankyou Simon. Both excellent tools the angle one is very well used in my shop, nice and slim too

Thanks Bud, Just mental investment into the project, and experience i guess. I do have the ability to visualise the part and where it sits in my mind when i pick each bit up so i guess that helps

thankyou, really interesting to hear from other countires techniques and styles.

No, but maybe one day

thanks Sam

Ahh your doing better than i would be!!!!

Thankyou, they are on the website now

Haha, id love to but ive a few years lined up ahead of me. Careful with dark composite, they move alot in the sun!

@@BradshawJoinery glad to hear you have years lined up I wouldn’t expect any different for someone with your skill and content your going to go far. Yes im concerned about the composite doors. I might make my own after watching your videos. I do have a nvq in carpentry from 20 years ago and I do love working with wood. All the best mate

THankyou! The plans are on the webite now so have a look if you wish! :)

thankyou, its on my website now

THanks John, i have a visual mind, i can see how each bit wil work when i pick it up as a square section, but i guess that comes with practice and experience

Thankyou Jim

thankyou!

"fancy bollocks" is legendary

Basically because its difficult it gets avoided, but its part of the prestige of the piece in my opinion. Even the exact same thing made up from square sections and pinned beadings would not be the same for that reason. Breaking up the plane in which the glass sits in makes it more aesthetically pleasing. All about the design on this one. Everywhere you look on it alot of thought has gone into it

@BradshawJoinery cool! I used to make things complicated for myself too when I thought the product was genuinely better that way so I suppose I get it. I have to catch up with the rest of the project now. Looking fwd to that! :) well done anyway. Really good stuff!

Tricky things to get right! really tricky to make a very high quality french door.

@@BradshawJoinery Agreed. I do have some experience making a few, as back in the day I worked 10 years at a window & door manufacturer, in the mill, the moulding shop as well as on the production line. Mind you all the door slabs here are foam filled fibreglass or metal covered. Here in Canada we need them to work in minus 60 to plus 50 degree temp range, not sure a solid wood door would be the best way to go. I am going to keep the frame I have now, only replace or rework the astragal, the last door replacement I got, the mortises for the door hardware are too high & not inset deep enough for the door knob & deadbolt hardware as compared to it on the door slab, now that the door has a ever so small 1/16th inch sag lean the hardware will not go into the mortise. I could shim the hinge side, but not enough space in the material to hide a shim. Or make a rectangular dutchman to fill the mortise, to redo it at the correct height & depth, which might be the easiest way to go at it, other than trying to find the proper sized metal capping that goes on the outside face of the astragal, which I am having a job trying to find right now, & the only part left I need to find to start this job. Either way the poor quality of workmanship on the manufactured door is just terrible, & the manufacturer will not honer their warranty. That is why it is so nice to watch the quality of work that you do, it inspires me to get out there to get my repair/replace work done, even if it is on a lost cause made door. I love the panel saw you have, we had one at my last shop I worked at, it's a great tool to have. Really looking forward to your next upload..!😎

Thanks Mike

i get asked this alot and dont know how to answer tbh. tricky skill, that really needs one to one supervision to point out where each innacuracy may lie

He linked to the pencil above, it's a 3H (specifically a Stabilo Othello)

Haha thanks Mark, Being uneducated.. i had to google that one so thanks for the english lesson! haha

Haha, impact hammering steel on a steel bench. It was stupidly loud!!!

Charged hourly, but its cost effective not making mistakes later on!

yes, they are made!

Haha!!! amzn.to/3T5eJMh Here you Go Friends

@@BradshawJoinery thank you Oliver we at King’s Lynn Mens Shed are so into your videos I am always telling members of your wonderful work it puts our bird boxes in the shade, we hang of heads in shame 😳 😂😂😂

Lol would they let me in?>

The edititing takes a fair while watching several times through, not to check my work, just to get the video right so I can see if things aren't 👌 👍

I may have asked this before ,what version of sketch up do you use ? The drawings and overview you have produced are excellent .

Its the pro version, but you can customise any version. I just updated to 2023 version but you have to reorganise your tools and shortkeys so I keep a screenshot and note pad of all the shortkeys now

@@BradshawJoinery thanks

they can be worked through methodically to be fair, it is nice to set it all out so you may pick up on any problems but there is a lot going on, still easy to make a mistake

Well spotted, when we sketched it out it looks really heavy and too "matched" this made the frame look alot nicer and leaves space for a name potentially in the future

@@BradshawJoinery look classy with house name acid etched as in old victorian buildings .

is Bradshaw the village between queensbury and Halifax ?

He wears plugs to be fair but still loud as

They need to have :) haha

Haha!!!
