I like the Sunday morning start times

I use the magnet trick as well but instead of just rubbing the magnet on the wall surface I put a piece of greaseproof paper between it and the wall to avoid marking the wall. I HATE PAINTING. Love your videos - practical and great presentation.

There should be a video like this every Sunday. Its almost a part of weekly life now watching DIY on a Sunday morning

Excellent work sir. Weβve come a long way with the art of fitting doors , thanks to the development of power tools . Harkening back to when I started work back in the late 60s , it was a regular sight to see a joiner fit a door with the add of a hand axe. Only doing the final fitting with a hand plane . Iβd donβt know it makes me sounds like I was born in the Victorian era . π. Kind regards as always π

Enjoyed the way Stuart can do these projects so elegantly. I would have smashed out the entire wall of sheetrock. I do have some vintage solid oak doors I am going to be hanging. I'll need to create new door frames because the old frames are flimsy mahogany veneer. The doors weigh a good 40 lbs. In the US they do not sell separate door frames or linings. So I will have to make my own. I have done this once before and did an ok job. My prior experience was hanging doors on my chicken coop. ugh those doors were hung very amateur. I learned a lot doing that. The chickens didn't comment.

Hi Stuart another great video, I was told by a joiner, put three parts of the barrel of the hinge on the frame and the two on the door to help stop squeaking later on, keep up the good work, G.

Thank you Stuart , the timing of this video could not be better! I needed just this

Pro trick: Turn of the power at the breaker when ever working on a wall with power sockets in it. Remove the double socket cover and you can see if the feed cables go up, down and regrettably sometimes left or right.

The socket magically disappeared π

What did you end up doing with the electrical in the end?
-
Very helpful hints, very smart. Very well done πππ

You can get internal door casings with the rebate cut into them but not as easy to fit as a door lining . Love your videos
-
Stuart, your video's are top notch and perfectly edited with clear and thorough explanation of what you're doing, they're excellent for learning from with truly trustworthy content. Well done sire.

Routing those hinges rebates without a jig. Skilz Stuart! Great video. β€ Only extra tip would be to place the fixing screws so they are covered by the door stops.
-
Another top notch video Stuart.

Excellent as always Stuart, thank you π
