Loved this! Need a screen door for my chicken house and I was thinking of surprising my woodworker husband by making it myself. I am pretty comfortable with tools since I took wood shop in 7th and 8th grade back in the 80s but I lack common sense in the simple things such as your tip in placing the slat board perpendicular to the two side pieces to know overall width helping to know quickly the measurement needed for the slats!! So smart!! Thank you. Now, I just need to figure out where in the shop my hubby keeps that jig 🤣🤣

Thank you. Built two this weekend. One for the front door one for the back door. Measured, cut, laid out, squared and then temporarily fastened. Cut the plywood cleats to fit at the joints of stiles and rails, top, center and bottom. Glued, screwed. Painted. Laid screen over openings, stretched, stapled and covered with wood strips to finish. Hung, hinged. Spring closure. Handle of a branch from the cherry tree. A very funky, artsy screen door duo if I do say so myself. Thank you to all of the great screen door masters for your wonderful inspiration.

Good vid on building the door frame although I was surprised you used a pre-fabricated screen. I was waiting for you to break out the air powered staple gun, lol.

Max the Kraig screws are size, depending upon the thickness of the wood that you were using. so you’ll need to read the box to determine which screw is the proper length

Hey Bodie -- thanks for the vid! Followed it with a few minor variations to build an interior screen door to keep my new kittens in "jail" in my office without them overheating :) One question -- I see that the hinges you call out in the header to the video are different than the ones that you actually used. I used a butt hinge very similar to the ones you cite in the description as they seemed more appropriate to the 3/4" stock. Care to comment? Thanks, Steve

Loni, before pocket holes there was tenons. you can make this with tenons, it just will take a bit more work to cut tenons on all of the rails (cross pieces) then you will cut the hole for the tenon, or dado it. I just felt for the time entailed for the beginning woodworker, a $40 Kreg Jr. jig would be much faster and easier.
