French Doors

[William OConnell]

Its not as easy to make a door as one would imagine. Its very time consuming. I made 16 oak doors for a customer last year. If they wanted less than 5 I would have bought them but they liked the idea of me making the doors out of Long Island grown Red oak. So I made them. I made some videos of the process but never edited them at all so they're a little long and I never uploaded the very last 2 videos.
Heres a link to the video. No making fun of my hat. Its my lucky hat, just saying.

Installed I had the camera settings wrong so theres a red hue on the rails which really isn't there when looking at them real time

William, those are beautiful!! I'd love to have something that looked like that in my house, but then the dogs would LIVE in the crates!!

Jacob, sorry I didn't understand the pup was outside. Mine just jump up on the door, open it (French lever handle) and come on inside when they want! Jim.

I realize I am posting on a really old thread. I couldn't contact William here by PM, so posting here hoping he would see it.

I tried the video link he posted (http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...58107065451907) but, youtube says this video is private, and wouldn't play it. Is there any chance you might be able to share it again or open it for public viewing?

I am considering building one french door (interior) for my house for the home office room. The existing finished opening is not a standard size (60.5" w x 94" tall) with sheetrock. So, I can either get prehung doors from the BORG and re-frame the wall opening to fit them, or try and make a set myself. Would love to see your videos to understand the complexity.

Thanks,
