Need up to 30 seconds to load.
hey you two what's going on all the work
is finished in the family room the floor
is down the chair rail is up the bench
seats are built the windows our case
it's looking really good so what I'm
going to do now is I'm going to move on
into this bedroom and start working in
there the first thing that I'm going to
do is trim out the other side of the
stove so what we're going to do today is
we're going to build a Craftsman style
door from scratch we'll cut out all the
parts assemble the components and now it
up and hopefully here in a couple hours
we'll have a good-looking door we can
look at so what we have here is just a
standard prehung door or different
Lowe's Home Depot any of those you can
order these doors but I ordered this one
without the casing on because I can't
stand that clam shell casing that comes
with these doors when you order complete
so does it have trim on it and we're
going to trim this out with a quarter
inch or removal
some people use an eighth inch I can
type Recorder inch it kind of gives a
beefy reveal and just adds a lot of
detail to it I think interesting on this
door and all the ones that I ordered
they have already scribed on that's a
quarter inch so we don't have to fool
with that I've double-checked it
I measured its quarter inch but now we
were going to have to mark them I found
this little trim gauge on a YouTube
video a while back in a hormone it's
pretty neat he just you know set the
reveal of what you want it to be he'd
lay it out of there
cancel your line and there you have it
not going to have to do that today but
morning unique challenges that we're
going to deal with today with this door
is the fact that we're bunched up a
little bit in this corner I'm using
standard three and a half inch wide
boards on the trim only got three inches
over there so we're going to put it on a
table saw rip a half inch off lay it in
there to fit right in
now I already measure to the top to the
top reveal on the header and it's 81
inches so I'm going to go down get the
board put on the miter saw
I don't we'll check the other side it's
the same the door door frame is it's
square and plumbing everything's being
same both sides so we're going to go
ahead and go down there and cut these
boards and bring them up and see what
they look like so now we've got the
length measure let's go ahead and trim
it to fit now we'll take this piece to
the table saw and written down the three
inches that we need so now we have the
table saw set up to take off a half-inch
and then more so we'll have a three inch
one board so let's go ahead and run it
through
it's not uncommon to run into the
situation where your drywall will stand
a little bit proud of your door jamb and
you have to have to correct that because
if you don't when you put your trim
piece in it's not going to have a good
tight fit against your jamb and you know
you don't want to have to put a
half-inch be a caulk in there to fill
the gap so lucky for us this is in the
tight corner at the bottom next to the
floor it's not going to get a lot of
attention there's a lot of ways you can
address this you can take a plane and
pull some of that material off I'm just
going to take utility knife cut it out a
little bit probably lay this block up
against it beat it in with a hammer and
once that drywall softened up a little
bit I'll be able to move it back a
little bit so that's what we're going to
do on this one
okay it looks pretty ugly but it'll be
covered up by the trim board you won't
see it now it's going to fit in there
really good and we'll go ahead and lay
our trim pieces up and see if we've cut
them properly okay so we took our trim
board and laid it in here just to test
it as you can see it fits really nice
after we made some modifications to the
drywall there one thing that I've
learned doing construction is there's
not a whole lot of things you can't fix
with with a big hammer and couple solid
blows so we'll go ahead and just this up
and get it lined up and go ahead and
down to place
okay so we have the two side trim pieces
up they went up really good they they
fit really nice and tight tight against
the wall we have a real well-defined
reveal through here so we're real
pleased with how this turned out the
next thing that we're going to start
working on is this hair now when we get
this built that's what brings it all
together and gives this that true
Craftsman style look one thing that I'll
mention that I've been doing throughout
this project to the extent that I can is
I've been trying to paint all my pieces
before I cut them and put them up it
saves me a lot of time in the long run
it's a lot easier to paint them before
I'm real up here and some won't and then
have to tape and paint and all that kind
of stuff so sometimes I'll take a whole
day and just paint boards and when I go
to putting the parts together it really
saves me all the time something to
consider so growing it back out here so
we can see the finished side of this
door and talk about the header and the
design elements that we're going to have
to build for the other side this
particular casing this header is made up
of four distinct elements the first
element is a piece of bead this bead is
a half inch thick it is an inch of
Horror wide and it stands proud of your
casing by having an edge the way that
will make for this
we'll take a piece of half-inch stock
you can buy kind of expensive about you
probably have enough scratch from all
the other stuff you're doing I do then I
just run it to the table so hard
dimension into half-inch so take that
half-inch would rather the router with a
round over bit on each side so that we
get that nice round feed the next
element in this header is the top header
board itself which is just a stop three
and a half inch wide board it's the same
boards were using on the casing it's
made and cut to run at the same
convention the same width as you're
tasting the next design element is just
standard code you can buy this real easy
it's very vailable
or you can make it if you have scribe to
me it's really worth the money just
about it's pretty cheap if I go to
making it on the router table and it
just takes a little time so I just buy
and the last element is this top stool
it is two inches one and it stands proud
by an inch and a quarter again I'll run
it through the router table with a
roundover bit to get the nice round and
finish so what we have on this as you go
up from your casing you step out a
half-inch you go up and you step out
even further with the cove and then
finally at the top you stepped
Inchon quarter so it gives it a nice
look and I like the way it's turning out
so let's go downstairs cut out some of
these pieces and start putting this
thing together
you
