The Woodpecker Ep 92 - Building the new shop part 20 - The Garage Door 

+Matthias Wandel I wanted the grain to flow between each section. The assembly would had been easier but I was aiming for the nice grain flow look.

+Alain Vaillancourt mission accomplished, the dynamic duo strikes again! Well done woodpecker and Rene.

+Mjolnir Knives Probably not, it's just in cedar after all.

+Alain Vaillancourt prove it

+Neil Kightley I cut them the sime length as a precut domino, so if you say it's 136 then it'a 136. I used a beech one to setup my stop.

+Chris Is Matthias Wandel told me the same thing several times, so maybe you're as great as Matthias :) thank you.

+Alain Vaillancourt Eh bien M. Vaillancourt, I myself think M. Wandel is next to being a genius. His way of of creating such powerful and functional things with the least of means is awesome and unique as far as I know. He wants to show - - maybe show off a little, too - how creative he can be or perhaps anyone else who dares, but he is an engineer and probably a talented one too. You on the other hand are a crafsman with a vision and a drive and a plan, which you have been realizing over the last months. Whereas Matthias operates via his brain, you seem to operate via your heart. Both appeal to me me a lot. Let’s not compare eachother with another, I’m nowhere near the level of makers/woodworkers you guys are, I have a less than tiny shop where I do my simple stuff with my young son. You are the one to be loved and Matthias is the one to be admired.

Yes this door is heavy, I can't lift if without the springs and since I reused the old bearing, it's still hard to lift half of them are broken and lost their ball bearings inside. But I didn't know about the wall mounted door opener, thanks

+palmer3977 Maybe you're right it might be the epoxy. The dominoes are a little shorter than both mortices.

You're right. And I can honestly say that I know the best helper :))

Short answer; not long... The door changed colour alright, it's a matter of fact all my shop changed colour, the walls, the windows and all the doors. At least from the inside they look great :) But no wood turned grey, I don't know if it's because of the oil preservative I put on them? No they all went a clear colour, yes the sapele from the front doors and the cedar from the garage door and windows are now almost the same colour as the pine walls; a pale pinks colour. I wanted to re-brush another coat of preservative last summer, but I can't figure why I ended up not having time for that, too much stuff to do. Well next year.

+Frenchy St. Germain I'm great, I just cut on the sugar and lost 35 pounds :)

Good for you.......now you need to go shopping for new jeans.....haha!

+James Rawlings I would say, maybe, around 150 pounds. But I haven't weigh them.

+Big Mike is talking This section is not heated. So I'm not to concern about the "R" factor :) only the look :)

+Alain Vaillancourt - Now that makes sense to me now. Awesome job - what a project!

I'm 3 years younger than you, but unfortunately we just have our first grand son, so our hands are full :)

+jumpleadsx2 It's for me :) Even if we had 2 kids at the age of my children, we do not have grand children yet...

+Loszmi It's one of my setup blocks kit www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=45089&cat=1,43513,51657

+TheBrick2 It's an exterior oil base finish. I used the same finish for all my exterior.

+Alain Vaillancourt thanks. I'm always struggling with finishes.

Merci, mais je sais que j'ai un accents pour tous le monde, peut-être pas pour quelqu’un qui parle Français au Québec

+effem meffe if you have a referenced edge the saw will be faster, it only takes one pass.

+effem meffe It's much simpler and fafter to cut a edge straight with a saw. I started that when I had ¾" off on a bunch of board, I mase then straight on the jointer, tis took forever then I uses my track saw i30 second and it's done.

I know it still hard to open the door, each time I open it I say to myself: Darn I didn't replace the wheels I should do that.... And yet it's stll the old broken wheels...

+Ken L With small cuts, it's not that bad. But I once took a bit bite on my mahogany door pannels and the motor was screaming for help. But with small bite it's fine.

+René Hansen I didn't want to bend on the concrete slab ;) Maybe another time :)

+Tarek Ammar Just being neer me isn't enough ??

+Glenn Patterson Yes it does, and this gives the epoxy a nice wood color.

+Patrick Melchior Every body have the same problem with this sprayer; from time to time the hose unplug itself from the gun. At this exact moment the finish wich is inside the gun drop on the floor, so if you are spraying and your gun is on top of your work piece this will drop on your piece, not fun.. When this happen I wipe the excess. This happened on average about every hour, or maybe it's only my average... Otherwise it works fine, my finish are way beter than when I was just using a normal spraygun and my compressor.

+Richard Mccaig I needes a small angle 0 or 90 would has been too much and with trial and error I found 8 was the right number but it can be anything

+makieks I could, but I was scared to remove too much and, end up with holes in some corners.

+Alain Vaillancourt that is also true. I just got watched all your woodbecker episodes. The shop is awesome. And love when you make jokes of your mistakes. I also reduced sugar usage just two weeks ago and allready lost 3kg. Thanks for your show. And hello from Finland, Europe

+makieks You'll see, you'll melt like a popsicle in the sun.

+Ben's Collection and Sundry I bought the wood last year, Lucky for me because our Canadian money lost 20% of it's value, so It would had cost me 20% this year. But still it was expensive $1,300 plus at least 30 hours of labour. But you have to consider if a cheap luan door is what you want? Or a nice solid wood door?

No, I didn't mean to criticize. Part of making your own door is the art of it, as well as making it the style you like.

+Ben's Collection and Sundry I know that you didn't criticize, sory if I sounded like that, But what I ment is some people would rather buy a dresser from Ikea because it doesn't cost much, it's ok, But I rather make my own wich will last for generations, but will cost me probably twice the amount of money in wood than the Ikea version. All the door I made for my shop cost me a bundle but I will enjoy them for a long time. Wood is so expensive probably even a metal insulated door would had cost less. But it's not as enjoyable as a wooden one.

+Alain Vaillancourt Amen.

A bit, but not as much as the front door, this door is just in cedar.

+Keelin Black 2 main reasons - the quality of the tools - the dust extraction

+Alain Vaillancourt yeah the dust extraction looks very good in your videos

+David Handley I used a very slow set epoxy with a working time of more than an hour. My "to go" glue Tite bond III has only 10 minutes of working time. Gluing a door takes WAY more than 10 minutes, it's why on all my doors I've usedonly slow set epoxy.

wood glue only has a working time of 15-20 minutes. epoxy gives you a working time of at least an hour. if he had used wood glue, the glue would have been too set before he got everything clamped.

Understood. Thanks

+Alain Vaillancourt How long did the glue up take? Beautiful doors.

+CelestialLites 1 hour to pré-glue all the 80 dominoes and turn them into tenons.and 1.5 hour to glue the whole door together.

It's a Festool Domino XL (www.festoolcanada.com/products/domino-joining-system/domino-joining-machines/574422---df-700-eq-plus-usa)

Alain Vaillancourt Thank you so much

The 8° was on the tabe saw so I was able to cut the actual raise pannel with a big, long curve.
