Building a Sliding Barn Door | DIY Off Grid Cabin Build - Episode 66

foreign door over the bathroom area in the cabin so I've got some uh one by eights here that I want to use to frame up that door so what I'm going to do is I'll figure out the center and I'll split these and uh we'll use those boards to create the frame foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] come on [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] so I got uh I got it the first coat of stain on this and uh this is going to be the door for the bathroom area of the cabin still a little transparent right now but uh we'll get this filled in soon as this dries then I'll be able to fill it with these uh slats right here [Music] I still need to chamfer the edge of these I'm going to wait until the uh the stained rise here I probably should have chamfered these before I stained it but uh that's what I do so anyway I'll wait for this to dry and I'll chamfer those slats and I'll be able to install them from the back side so the stain will be facing out and then I'll reinforce the back okay all right this is dry to the touch I've actually got dry to the touch pretty fast only took about an hour it's not completely cured though I have to do that overnight so I've just got it laying on top of the slats so this is uh what my door is going to look like so the slats will be running vertically where the wall slats are all horizontal and these were all cut from the same piece of plywood so there's no variation in the slats but uh doing the variation when you've only got a couple of cross beams here it's pretty difficult um you know I wanted to make this you know pretty stable so I decided to just go the easy route and uh just cut everything out of the same board with the same uh color of stain so that's what it's going to look like tomorrow I'll get on this and I'll get it attached and then we'll put some some frame members on the back side as well all right there's the back side of the door let me flip it over and we'll take a look at the side that The public's gonna see [Music] all right there she is [Music] I will be putting the hardware on the door at the cabin and uh I still have some areas where it's going to be touched up like along the top here you can still see a little bit of [Music] a little bit that did not get some stain and then on the side here as well but uh I'm not sure if I'm going to put some of these boards underneath um on top you'll notice that I did my rails and styles where the Styles run the entire length and the rails just kind of fill in the gap but because my boards my slats are running this way um it would tend to go like this except on the back side I ran my rails the length as you can see here and that does where it gets all of its stability from and I might throw some Styles in between here I'm still trying to decide if I want to do that or not and I haven't decided what I want to do with this back if I want to stain it paint it or just put some finish on it and leave it natural I haven't figured that out yet but uh this is certainly to a point where I can install it and that was the goal because I need to pack this up and get on the road head back to the cabin so that's going to do it for this video talk to you guys later
