You're absolutely part of the solution with the skilled trades gap. There is going to be such a loss of knowledge from the prior generation but you're doing your part with the knowledge transfer. Screw HGTV. You're showing the real stuff and how to actually solve the problems that pop up. Entertaining as well.

This is hands down one of the greatest videos I've ever watched. Please, please, please keep doing what you're doing. You're helping to educate our generation, in turn empowering us to do things the RIGHT WAY, ON OUR OWN. Thank you!

I am a 30 year carpenter and thought I’d brush up on pocket doors. Your explanations were perfect and I even learned some stuff I can do better ie removing electrical staples and shim progression/ nailing. I am def investing in a cordless grinder now too. New subscriber who is going to explore the rest of your content. Thanks!!

damn damn damn! Nothing better than watching someone who is actually good at the job! You're some last OG GC's that actually know how to do the work! I hate working for the paper GC's that don't know anything about actually building anything. Since you're already using trim head screws on the jamb. You can get the trim head screws with the reverse thread by the head of the screw. I use them as shim screws. Super easy to micro adjust. I plumb the top and bottom & then straight edge the field like you. Then I'll back up with the shims.

I am a finish carpenter & I think your greatest statement is : Anyone can do it? I actually do not do much of them cause I more or less do tons of cabinets and built ins ! And anyone can do it! Good video you are a very talented teacher ! Thk you my friend!

This is no contest, the best pocket door install video on the web. Thank you!

I'll be installing two in the next couple weeks and nothing has prepared me better than your walkthrough. Well done and thank you

Awesome demonstration!!! Avid DIYer who has done 3 pocket doors on a concrete slab and the challenge is the know-how to adapt them to the site. Only thing I would have liked to see is how the electrical box on the pocket-side was re-installed. I'm planning on doing double pocket doors in an interior wall into a kitchen and one pocket side must have switches for 2 lighting circuits. 2x4 walls and am doing my research for a clean & safe way to run the cables.

Thanks for demystifying pocket door installation. I've been wanting to do a pocket door project for a while now, I can do it with confidence. All other videos leave me wanting more info!

I love the detail. Very educational. Pocket doors are never used enough in tight spaces.

Im half way through the video and learned soooooooo much. this is the type of teaching that's needed.

Extremely informative! This is how these videos should be made.

Amazing and thorough demonstration. very well done 👍

Loved your video. I learned a valuable lesson. I will be hiring someone to install mine😅

Great, truly awesome in explaining the step by step insulation, thanks for being patient and not skipping any steps that a lot of carpenters do,. Awesome job again.

I have subscribed. you are an excellent teacher!

You're so thorough, I don't even want to attempt installing one now lol

Thank you so much! Best video ever on pocket doors. All the details and warnings on how not to make mistakes. Super helpful!!!

After your video I may have the courage to do a pocket door myself. Wish you had added some of the finish work (electrical, wallboard, etc) you had to do. Thanks for you effort.

Thanks for the great video! I installed my first pocket door and it works perfectly thanks to your knowledge and my ability to follow clear directions (lol!!!). Your detailed instructions also translate to other projects! You rock Grant! Huge thanks!

Great video Grant. Covered every step of the process in super detail. I am ready to install my three pocket doors! Thanks.

Outstanding! Always something to learn from your videos.

Thank you this is an excellent video, I've never done anything like this, you made it so easy and detailed to understand!!❤️

4x6 header in a non-load bearing wall? Curious for the reasoning for that? I've only ever installed Johnson Hardware pocket doors and the weight of the door is carried between the jack studs, so the header can be basic (unless it's load bearing). I'm assuming you're wanting this header to be ridged and carry the load of the door and frame?

I feel very confident I can put in a pocket door now because of this video. Thanks!

OUTSTANDING video, and perfect timing as I’m about to replace an old pocket door. Many thanks - you prevented two mistakes I would have made. Just stellar!

I’m about to install one of these in my small home’s new construction bathroom! This video makes me feel really confident that I can do this! Wish you showed installing the last piece that goes at the bottom of the door frame, to keep it squarely in the frame! Thanks for posting, brother!

Super clear and a real skill is refreshing

Just from this video you guys should have 1mil subs💪🏾🙏🏾

Very enjoyable and informative presentation. Thanks for taking us through and explaining every step.

awesome step by step video...... much appreciated for the DIY community!!!

Amazing editing… unbelievable job as well

Outstanding! This is a very effective instructional video showing how the process actually occurred as opposed to someone just walking you through the steps in a theoretical situation. You will inevitably run into the many problems, like he did with wiring and nails sticking out and things not being plumb. Which typcally won't be on a theoretical checklist. Really adds to the value. I was finding this a daunting task to start. It IS cumbersome with lots of little details. But this type of video gives me the confidence that I can do it. The tricks on one-person install were also extremely helpful. Thanks very much!!

This vodeo was brilliant. You're a credit to your trade. We need more people like you to pass on their knowledge to the next generation. You have a positive energy like you really enjoy your work. New subscriber.

Best video I’ve seen so far on pocket doors!!!! Thank you for doing such a great job!

Really good video, and timely. I need to add pocket doors in my unfinished basement. In one area, however because of the I-beam support, the overhead height is lower. How do I shorten the height of the pocket door assembly? Thanks for all the great instructions!!!

Great detail! Thanks!

Great video with very pertinent information for installing a pocket door - the manufacturer never gives enough information . Thank you for this video!

Good stuff! Excellent instruction,

Stumbled on this channel, great content. Subbed!

Excellent. Appreciate very much that you show your mistakes.

Solid content man, thank you. Very in depth. Keep on making videos!

This is the one I needed, thanks unc. You done good!

Quick comment, you should also mention checking for plumb on the reveal side of the jambs. Thanx for the great tutorial!!!

Bad for my budget because I saw your nailer and now I have to buy one just like it... Kidding, great video !

Great job. I have had a pocket door for about a year now. I have watched a few videos of installing the units. All of them showed an assembled pocket door being installed. I am not a carpenter. I have been trying to level my pocket door. You showed how to assemble the door. that made a big difference. I turned my door the right way up and assembled it. Now I have to decide my exact placement. Tanks for a fantastic instructional video.

Great info! Thanks!

Awesome video! Thanks!!

loved the video! thank you!

I also noted this in your other wall framing video, but why do you add a large header on a non-load bearing wall?

Cheers mate! Great content here!

Very helpful! Thank you!

Noice!!!!!! Is there a part 2 to this showing electrical relocates etc? Well done!!!🇨🇦

Excellent video man. Very thorough. U can work for me anytime!

Nicely done!

Awesome video. Only wished you would have included a link for that pocket door. Can you add a lock to a pocket door?

Great video! Very thorough! Thanks Grant!

Never thought of that. Great.

thank you for all the helpful information

Excellent explanation!

Great stuff. The notch/hammer method for getting wire out of studs is new for me, love it!

Love this guy super smart this helped a lot

Great video!

Looks great

You saved me. Thank you!

Simple and GREAT!

A++. Great info.

Awesome video thanks so much

Great video. 💯🔥

Great presentation on installation

Getting ready to install 3 pocket doors and this helped tremendously! Thank you!

Very interesting. Thank you.

Best "How-to" video ever. Could you tell us the product you're using in the video?

Great job bro

great video

great job with the video. now i have to do it with my mini bathroom

Great video! The way you explain and go thru the process is excellent! ❤‍🔥

Thanks Deadpool

Well done, nice detail, lots of thanks. Dude! Your leg! THAT is bravery.

What brand pocket doors did you use? Where did you purchase them? Did the door come with the package? Was it a solid door or hollow? Very well explained on the installation. Great video!

Have to say, great video, great explaining, and easy to watch

*The Lost Art of installimg a Pocket Door* Thanks for Sherring ByForNow, your New Friend Ken

Loving the Content!!! Very informative and entertaining. Great work!

Very well done

Excelente work .👍🏻

What an awesome video! I was very impressed with your concise and relatable presentation. I landed on your video while searching for a tutorial on how to replace an existing pocket door with basic framing for a wall. I thought your video would show what I could expect to find in my wall cavity once I cut out the drywall. I haven't found a video match for my project yet, but I couldn't help continuing to watch this video because I was so captivated by the quality. Excellent work here. This video of your project is great. If you have tips on removing a pocket door and framing the space to make a wall, I'll take those. Thank you!

Outstanding 😮

You guys do great videos, keep it up!

Nice work man! What do u fill the nail and screw holes in the finished jamb with?

great video....very well explained Thankyou

Really enjoy your content! Very informative for diy'ers like me.

Thank you

Great video man 🎉🎉

Great video….clear, concise and practical information! Really enjoyed it and am more than confident to attack my pocket door install!

Yes, this has been on my list of things to do..and wow, you are really informative. I couldn't make out the name on your nailer. I need a portable one of those too! Mind telling us here?

I have almost the same issue. I have electronical on bothsides of wall were the pocket is locaded. Can electronical be on pocket side if protected or will it all have to be moved to the door side? (I have on both right and left of the dooer face and on the back side on the left side).

Well Done!

This was such an amazing educational video. You instilled a lot of confidence in me to tackle my own pocket door install, thank you!

Do you have a preference for hardware that keeps the pocket door quiet and sturdy?
