I start by 'setting the scene' of how not to be daunted by this project, making two simple housing joints, fixing the door frame together, placing the frame in it's location, and then fixing it. I will include using tools, fixings and packings, and showing a special trick of how to line it up perfectly.
I introduce a 'trick of the trade' in this lecture, showing how to get over checking the door head that is to high to see. The 'straight edge' is made good use of here both on the jambs and the frame head.
Doors are manufactured to a high accuracy, so if we fit our own door frame this also needs to be accurate. Here I explain thee most important part of fitting the frame, checking for twist.
This is a continuation from Lecture 4, showing a 'Trick of the Trade'. Using a string line to accurately check the two jambs are in line.
1: I start by giving an overview of myself and my experience. I will also reassure you that although it seems a little daunting, I will go through it step by step.
2: There are a minimal tools needed which I have listed on a PDF document and if you watch through what I do I can tell you that you shouldn't come up against any problems.
3: I start by showing you how a door frame is put together with two simple housing joints. We then look at the location/position of the frame and go through the setup of the frame in place. I explain the practicalities of each of the three frame parts, what their purpose is and how they are fixed. The frame will be fixed to receive a manufactured door which are accurately made, (fitting a door to the frame is not included in this) as that is a separate operation in itself, and so our door frame must reflect that and be fitted and fixed ready to receive it.
4: I've included everything to make, fit and fix this door frame so that when you come to fit the doors, or door, you will have something ready that will make it easier for the door to be hung.
