Stained with @varathane Kona. This is a stain I just happened upon when trying to color match one a few years back. Turns out it is a great stain. Ive used it time and time again on many different projects. Thinned out it works great to achieve a whether look. It penetrates deeper than just about any others I've used so if you need a dark color to bleed through on a distressed piece, this is a good option. Today I'll be adding a few brighter colors over the stain in random spots before adding some antiquing glaze to age it a little bit. I'm shooting for 100 years. #trusttheprocess #knotty_woodcraft #kitchenrenovation #kitchenpantry #kitchensofig #kitchengoals #kitchendesign #kitchenlife #kitchencabinets #pantrygoals #butlerspantry #pantrydoor #kitcheninspiration #pantryorganization #kitchenset #kitchen #pantrycooking #kitchengarden #thepantry #pantrystaples #kitchenbowl #kitchenremodel #kitchenideas #pantrydesign #pantrymakeover #organizedpantry #pantrychallenge #pantrylabels #kitchenisland #pantry (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGFTIeUjam_/?igshid=15xmleryq9vep

This was yesterday...routed out for glass, then chiseled out the corners.....used my new @ryobitoolsusa latch mortising jig which is awesome. I prefer whenever possible to install hardware before sanding and painting simply because if something goes terribly wrong, there are many more options to fix it than after its prepped and painted. Took today and sanded and stained this door. It's going to have several layers and I like for things to dry completely before covering with the next layer, you just get better results. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDtiBNje7w/?igshid=1s24qqn8j6rd8

My stereo blew the other night while I was cleaning up, I may have had it up too loud, who knows. So I started looking for old stereo component systems on marketplace and craigslist and folks want way too much for their obsolete, bulky, stereo systems. Enter these tiny stereo amplifiers. Sure amps have been around forever, but never so cheap and with the proper inputs and outputs for regular 120v operation. This thing was 30 bucks and is clear and loud running 50 watts per channel; several speakers one of which is a massive 15" cerwin Vega speaker that may outlive me! Setuptook about 2 minutes. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDMyHiDvxQ/?igshid=1xhh4gz6a1o3h

Squared up door from yesterday. This method has proven to be the very best , repeatable way to get perfectly squared doors every time. That first pass with the fixed base and dust collection works well for the dust collection, but the hose was pulling it away so I got terrible chatter marks. Sometimes you just gotta make a mess ! It's a woodshop after all. I'll come up with a way to do that without making it snow but its not a priority right now. The tried and true corner to corner measurements shows the end results from this method. Again the mega flush trim bit from @infinitytools for the win on this one. With a 3/4" diameter and a 2" cutting length, it's perfect for this task. So again, all I'm doing is using the table top (3/4 MDF factory edge) as a template for one side, and one end of the door. That creates the first straight edge and 90°......then I take to table saw and cut other side parallel and to its final width.......then back to the clamping table and carefully measure for final length and mark each edge and flush trim it to its final length. Yielding a perfectly square door, and that bit leaves a really nice finish only light sanding after. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAGQEGDoqR/?igshid=lkifd64ywe1i

Short video of a Late afternoon glue up. This door is going to go through a HUGE transformation, stay tuned!!! #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF9nrNED8mb/?igshid=6hlxl8dkzcdb

About 250 bd ft of clear and knotty alder, more than enough for three sets of french doors. Along with some red oak for a custom door frame, and a few pieces of 8/4 poplar and some 1x4s I use for crates. Had to reinforce my supports but with the knee braces they should be plenty strong to carry the little bit of alder and red oak I have on that second shelf. This is a project I have in mind for springtime, replacing these supports with probably some poplar. But right now, they're all nice and even and doing what they need to do. I love getting enough orders where I can button up the shop up all warm and toasty like for the winter and rarely open the shop doors. Having a propane supply line down here is gonna be a game changer. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF9lWiSDAu9/?igshid=1awb9bid868ov

Two door halves, done !! Had to take a few days and get rid of whatever blahhhhh I had.....yes I got tested....scary time to feel Ill, but I'm all better now!! These ate some in SW salty dog blue, the second door I've done in this color. The hardware is a true mortise lock with keyhole and skeleton key from my friends at @houseofantiquehardware in dark bronze, as well as the bolt latch. 1/4" tempered glass. I'm gluing up the next door for the same gold star level client right now. Enjoy!! #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF734Uvjc6A/?igshid=f07uy1fnhasu

And another #tbt #throwbackthursday to this custom gate for a client in texas. It's done in @myoldmasters mahogany gel stain and finished with teak oil and urethane mix. The addition of the pet door was to allow her senior cat to be able to get in the other side of the gate. Said her jumping years seem to be behind her 😔 #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0Lo_zjsvz/?igshid=bm31m4fk4q0n

Remember that time I ordered 150 bd ft of clear alder and it got here in 2 days?? Freight makes the world go round.......dont think so?? Imagine what would happen if they stopped. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0LniAjPQb/?igshid=1qs3qjsyvs0sc

#tbt #throwback to this pantry door from 2 years ago.....I ended up making several more just like this in the coming months after the original post. The color is SW7625 “mt etna” in satin, and this is a match from my friends @ppgpaints . 1/4" tempered frosted glass. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #pantry #inspiration #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #makeover #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #builder #maker #frenchdoors #design (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzlXQVD9t3/?igshid=1u2c1mtu72lfz

Trying my hand at some crackle paint effects 🙄 What do you think? Also I'm open to any tips or tricks from any seasoned pros on here. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzL02GDjia/?igshid=ekaw6dk5sh89

My go to method for joining boards is this tongue and groove bit set from @cmt_orangetools . It works for stock up to 7/8" thick. So what about thicker stock? I use them same bits and simply lower the "tongue" bit to trim off the excess stock. Leaving a tongue that sits flush inside the groove of the joining piece. This provides more than enough joining force for a raised panel that should never really be too stressed. #themoreyouknow🌈 #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxB4oajdWw/?igshid=125ysnxeovkaa

You can't beat the @microjig dovetail clamps. I have several sleds now for different lengths of stock. And all can be used as a flattening sled, or as pictured here, as a straight line/jointing jig. Quick, easy set up for a perfectly straight, and 90° edge to the face. Use the factory edge against the fence. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #pantry #inspiration #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #makeover #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #builder #maker #frenchdoors #design (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFwwOjajJv3/?igshid=2u5zoqn7rer6

More knobby goodness. Hardware has a sort of symbiotic relationship with the door. They can each survive for sometime without the other, but thrive when joined together. This rosette and keyhole eyelet are from @houseofantiquehardware where I get 90% of all the hardware I use. I prefer my clients have me Install their hardware, for this very reason. This dutch door was inspired by a Dutch door I made a while back with similar hardware. This is a full mortise lock and it's all bronze. You can feel it....its bronze. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvTa2kjMOj/?igshid=pfi0fhstv8h9

"What is now your workout, will one day be your warm up" This is I think the 7th or 8th one of these old school mortise locks I've installed. Obviously, I'd rather do all this before the door has four coats of paint but it's ok. See what I did with the instructions (there were three templates for this lock, all different 🤔😏🤯) ...worthless. After lunch I'll put the faceplates on and the bolt slide latch for the top portion to hold to the bottom portion. All in all looks great and I know my gold star client will love it 😃 #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #pantry #inspiration #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #makeover #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #builder #maker #frenchdoors #design (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFuq9AtDATt/?igshid=sbajd3ff8ae8

The nice folks at @tractorsupply let me trade in the squatty 40lb tank I purchased, without a receipt, for the 100 lb. "all in" tank. Got a guy that's started his own small business locally to install the gas line and give me a supply upstairs, and one downstairs in the shop. My level of commitment was challenged (I challenged myself) and I rectified situation. My reasoning for not initially purchasing a 100lb tank was the sheer weight of a 100lb tank once full with LP, but a little planning, as well as the help of two 20 year old backs that work at tractor supply, I strapped the tank to a dolly, pulled right up my porch and used a ramp to unload within 2 feet of its resting place. Wish I'd gotten a pic of the tank in the bed of my truck, looked like I had some crazy nitrous system. #knotty_woodcraft #makehomematter #pantrydoor #traditionaldecor #architectural #architecturalsalvage #salvage #antique #repurposed #door #port #porte #porta #homedecor #diy #interiordesign #renovation #kitchenmakeover #doorsofinstagram #woodwork #woodworker #maker #woodfinish #kitchendesign #shaker #frenchdoors #pocketdoors #double doors #slidingdoors (at Knotty WoodCraft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFuF214D_4b/?igshid=1h7g0903immnq
