That was an incredible, in depth tutorial. Truly a masterclass. I love learning how to do things from someone that has complete knowledge of his subject. Thank you!

Thank you for those kind words. I've done this for many years and remember how difficult it was to figure things out at times, so I'm happy to share my experience with others. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

Wow that was the best video I've seen on building jambs and hanging a door. I'm building the jambs from upcycled 1x4s. This helps a lot. So many good tips in this video. Thanks for going slow and taking it step by step for us beginners.

....and that's how we explain the process ! I understood every step, and that's not always the case. Great video, well done and much appreciated. .... now I've got a door to install and I'm going to try my best to do exactly what you said. Wish me luck ! I'll get back to you with the results.

I try to be as clear as possible but can still get side tracked with too many details. I think you'll figure it out. Good luck and thanks for watching.

@palco22 3 ай бұрын

@@askillthatpays Didn't notice any 'side track' and as we say; " It's the details that makes great work". It's what I'll be doing this coming week end ... replacing a door with a new jamb. Thanks again. I'll try my best to not disappoint you !

I was looking for a video to help me make a prehung door for my exterior water heater access. The original one that came with the house was made out of plywood and was a joke. Other videos I looked at had absolutely nothing about the planning and just showed quick clips of boards being cut and slapped together. Unless you are already an expert, those videos don't help. Your video gave me most of the information I needed to do my DIY job. Other videos can show me how to nicely mortise the hinges and make a door slab and install a door knob nicely. Now I feel I could make my own prehung doors for any purpose. Thanks.

That's great to hear. I'm glad I could be of assistance. The problem with many DIY or door videos is that they're either incomplete or they only show best case scenarios which rarely occur, so I try to show and explain as much as I can. Thanks for watching.

I appreciate your post, the detail added by identifying parts of the doors coupled with your reasoning for making the measurements. This helped me understand a lot.

HELP ME PLEASE. BS contractors removed load bearing wall and I noticed the plastic corner beed is 5 in half inches wider on top and 5 inches smaller going down the entryway jamb. I bought 5inch doorway jamb but its 1 inch shorter on top but fit flush going down. What should I do?

@askillthatpays 10 күн бұрын

I would put the jamb in place and put a couple screws top and bottom to hold it steady. Whichever side the hinges are on, hold that side of the jamb flush to your existing wall. Then hold a pencil along the wall on the crooked side and mark the jamb top to bottom. Then remove the jamb and cut the line with a circular saw or free-hand on a table saw. It won't be perfect, but it will be close enough to install the casing and caulk. OR install the jamb then float layers of plaster on the wall to bring it flush. Choose whichever you think will look better and is more do-able for you. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Very informative and got most of the info I needed, but the camera was just too rapid moving for me so I had to cut it short.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's not easy to actually do my work AND take video with my phone, so the results vary wildly. Thanks for watching.

You keep skipping mortising the hinges which is the very reason I watched this video. Other than that, it was a good watch. And you skipped boring out the door holes.

@askillthatpays 2 ай бұрын

That's because I have so many videos on mortising hinges that I don't want to include them in EVERY video. The longer the videos are, the less likely people will watch them, that's why. Check out my playlist called "Mortising for door installation." Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

Hi how long did this take you? Great video:)

These typically take me 4-6 hours. Stucco is always the most challenging and time-consuming surface to work with. If it's wood siding or brick it much faster. Thanks for watching.
