The greatest thing about Jess episodes is never knowing when or where the Squarespace ad will come from. It’s the psychological thriller element of this channel that makes Fridays worth getting out of bed for.

It was really nice to see you and jess working together and joking around having fun with each other. Always opt to be goofy and patient instead of short and frustrated.

Some door hanging tips that I find useful -1: use wooden wedges instead of plastic packers, I'll cut long 3 degree wedges when I have some spare time, cut up tubs of them. Have the wedges facing in opposite directions, creates flat packers that are adjustable in thickness. Fixing nail underneath wedges, so you can tap them past each other to plumb door and adjust door to jamb gaps. Much faster than using plastic window packers. 2: Cut head the same size as the frame opening, level up the position of the hinge jamb. Cut a rebate 5mm deep by the jamb thickness into the head. Measure door width + 7mm ( standard door thickness), then rebate 5mm deep for latch jamb. Doesn't take very long to do the rebates but makes for a much stronger door set up. 3. When the hinge jamb is set in, 90 degrees to the wall ( easy with opposing wedges) have a piece of board/timber the same size as your door opening . Then just place it at the bottom of the two jambs, wedge the latch jamb tight to the spacing board. This will make sure the latch jamb and hinge jamb are 90 degrees to the wall. 4: Single hinge templates are useful but what is better is making a hinge template with all three hinges on it. 12mm MDF, cut to the height of the door. So after you router in for the hinges on the door you know that the template on the jamb just needs to be 3mm down from the head. Perfect alignment made easy. 5: Obviously router in the latch striker plate and hole, before the permanent jamb door stop. Scott, you should get a pair of those overalls as well !! And for Ray.

New merch?!?..... Also love when Jess says: "This is really handy. I see why you like all your little tool bits and what not."

Jess is me when I first got into carpentry. Asking questions, getting an answer, realizing I don't know enough to understand the answer, ask more questions, and keep going until the answer is "turtles all the way down". Scott is more patient than my teacher was :)

I was in the 80’s my teachers were more about bullying, hitting and 95 percent verbal berating, all day being told how useless and worthless you were, it was worse in front of a customer that you liked. I remember I discovered what being ‘close to death’ feels like, sort of euphoria actually when you’re chocked out and you really ’see stars’ All I learned I ‘stole’ figured out for myself, read books, technical college and F’ing up Still learning yet maybe 35 yrs later, I’d never treat anyone that way, but it does irritate me the younger folks ‘expectations’ that you’ll just tell them everything and you sort of ‘owe them’ My skill and knowledge for what it is was hard earned.

Ahhh, another SBC Saturday. My wife is a pharmacist, and there’s a local GP, Dr Scott Brown. Every time she sees one of his scripts she says to herself “It’s Scott Brown here!” The funny thing is, she doesn’t even watch the videos, she’s only ever heard me talking about them.

LOL - Maybe the best final cut yet. Her reaction was so sincere!! Now you gotta teach us your tricks for how to fix doors that WERE NOT hung properly and close by themselves or fall away slowly. Yes I know there's many videos on that out there but in Scott I trust!

When I was taught to hang a doo rover 40 years ago the first job was to sharpen your chisels. Then you would sit astride the door, mark the hinges and chisel them out. You would drill the pilot holes with a hand drill and tighten the screws by hand, or if you were reckless, use a yankee screwdriver. None of these new fangled philips head screws either, slotted all the way. The lock was fun boring out the holes with a bib and brace.

I always hang a door with frame attached, as it comes from prehung. I always hang my own doors, and so loon as hinge side Is plumb, and you can just nail In. Or, adjust to PLUMB, using packers or fox wedges. With new door, latch, then nail on door stops, so you get a perfect latch.

Love Jess's reaction when you told her that you can buy pre-hung doors. I bet the conversation which followed was an interesting one. In my youth, as a salesman and Manager for one of the UK's largest door manufacturers, we introduced the first "doorsets" to the market. Architects loved them as a way of improving standards in the industry, saving time and money etc. Builders less so. Fifty years later, it seems they have become the norm. For most folks!!

The "Kenny 3D Jigs" are pretty cool. Having the right tools defiantly makes for a great job. Showing the world the special tools and how to use them is worthy education, like when Gaston is showing the tools he supplies. Think Kenny should meet Gaston.

Good memories, being told I was taking toooo... slow. This was followed by a demonstration from my estimed leader on door installation. There were many, many doors in this house, about a week later the owner comes up to me and tells me the leader told them I had installed all the doors, and there was a problem with one of them. Well you can guess which one, I told them that my leader had installed that one so best they spoke with him. Once they had left he comes up to me quite flustered but asking how we would fix it from jamming. Seizing this opportunity, like you would, I explained how important it was you did these jobs once, right., and now he had a problem as he had Gibbed around it etc. He's like "well, what do we do now" notice the 'we' which became singular after muttering that could I just fix it. Doors were never discussed again. Speaking of custom doors, yeah had one here where the frame and door had warped. Turns out it was a 'State House' special. Even the jambs were odd sized.

A brilliant episode. Almost a carbon copy of my wife and I hanging doors. Made all the brighter by Jess' outstanding overalls and the brilliant questions You should involve Jess more, she just brightens everything.

I manufacture interior doors for one of the largest "pre-built" home manufacturers in the USA and we have a machine that routes the hinge pockets in the door and on the jamb, along with routing the strike jamb, drilling the hole for the latch in the strike jamb, routing and drilling the hole for the latch on the door, and bores the knob hole in the door in about ~45 seconds. It also applies the 3 hinges at the end of the routing/drilling process. We push out about 300 interior doors a day. All hollow core. It takes an insane amount of patience to do it your way.

I don't know if Jess' reaction to hearing about pre-hung doors was genuine, or just great acting but I loved it.

Scott will need to do installing a pre hung door one now so he can go into detail on the shims and hardware install.

One difference I do, is after marking the door hinge centres, then BEFORE I rout it, I clamp on the jamb and square the marks right across. That way, if one measurement or pencil mark is not quite right, at least it will be a perfect match for both door and jamb.

Kudos to Scott, being the perfectionist that he is but also willing to teach on his own home. If Jess had ruined something he would have had to buy a new door or forever live there knowing that it wasn’t right. That for sure must have been the most stressful part.

Ha! She has great humor. 😂 The door looks precise and good. I can't wait to see the house once it is completed.

That automatic center punch at 8:15 is awesome. Didn't know those existed - definitely getting one for the workshop.

The thumbnail cracks me up. What were you looking at? The camera is over here! 😂

Pleased to see Jess having a go at door hanging Scott,thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍

Jess asking what the flat part is called is the thing I would do when learning something new. And, as an aside, in development and design phases it's also why you should bring in people from outside your expertise, because they ask questions and see things you don't even consider.

The pre hang was HILARIOUS

Nice. You should do more in depth tutorials on specific tasks like this. This video skews more towards educational in focus while still being entertaining. And getting an amateur to learn along with everyone (Jess) was a great touch. Serves as a great sanity check, since if Jess gets it, then you know the instruction is good and comprehensible. And Jess asks great questions that a beginner would like to know that a pro might not even think about, like what you would do if you didn't have a full workshop. The byplay between Jess and Scott also adds great on screen chemistry and entertainment value. Very well done video! Particularly oustanding even among your ordinarily excellent content!

Loved this episode! It’s great to watch Jess learning new things. And I love the overalls! 😍

Jess' assessment of the difficulty of hanging a door is helpful to us novices because watching the pros do it so flawlessly every time makes it look easier than it is. And when I get around to doing it, at least I will know that it is bloody hard. BTW, I thought Jess' overalls were safety gear for easy visibility on the work site. It would def work.

Please do more videos like this. Super useful

Great episode, reminds me of having to hang 4 doors when I was working in Tonga 25+ years ago, no router so had to chisel the hinges in. Enjoyed the Prehung door gag, for your next trick show Jess two piece jamb with Architraves pre installed, easy to set up for packing and a bit of expanding foam so they don't move. Another tip, look for 'Jolt' screws, our painters love it when we use them.

Well done Jess, awesome job!!

I got some invaluable advice from on old carpenter about hanging doors that l would like to share with other KZreadrs. He told me its a lot easier to always start on the hinge side first.

Great tips throughout the video!!

I finished my apprenticeship, went off on my own for about a year then got out of carpentry and only been doing the odd job here and there for the last 5 years Almost forgot how to hang a door haha, cheers! Mostly just getting the gaps right etc. I could only briefly remember to add 3mm to the jam hinge

Loved this, sat at work having lunch and thought, not watch scott for a while, one to see his newish how too, and jess involved, smashed it, and the very very end had me in stitches lol, pre hung are no fun lol

This is perfect timing im putting some doors in soon for a wardrobe !

As a soon to be mature age apprentice, absolutely love this type of video. So great guys!

Not even a rebate on the head of the lining (jamb) for the sides, let alone the using of a tongue and groove joint that you never see now as it takes too long. Also I was taught 5 pairs of fixings per side, but you only see 3 now as it takes too long, plus we fit the lining before plaster but don't hang doors until later so the linings have to be put in plumb, square, head level, sides straight so that the door will actually fit by the time you get there to hang it.

Great video Scott. For the rest of us, if you (or a friend) have access to a 3D printer there are lots of hinge jig designs available online.

As a beginner, I really appreciated this vid :)

The old hinge leafs 3:16! Love the videos, keeps me passionate about my trade in a world of de-skilling!

I like the way u used those two Japanese saws on the bottom edge of the jamb. Nice.

I usually pull the exsiting door, use a square to transfer hinge locations to the new door. Especially on entry doors where you routinely have to trim the door slab to fit the opening.

Great episode

🤣🤣 Don't ever ever get rid of Jess. She's amazing and hilarious 🤣🤣

When I am measuring existing hinges I find it easier and more accurate to use a long strip of wood as a story pole and transfer the hinge markings to the strip of wood and then mark the door to be routed

Jess, youre good at stuff!

3:06 VERY important...nice catch Jess!

I'm liking the new thumbnails. Adds a bit of humor to it.

I have my grandparents front door that i received after they passed and their house was demolished. It is a solid cedar door. It is 20mm smaller than a standard door here in Aus. 2020mm is the door so i need to fiqure out hot to redo the jam to make it fit or extend the door by 20mm.

love your overalls jess.

Each to their own. I find it much easier to fit the jamb with the hinges already checked out, fixing it only on the hinge side. Then placing the door next to the hinge side, packed up enough for the right gaps then marking the hinges on the door. Check them out, hang the door and then fit off the rest of the jamb to the door

Great channel, I wish you had included setting the router depth. What was the gadget you had in your drill when drilling holes?

if you stand in door way facing hinge side if door swings to right it’s a right hand door or left it’s left that’s called handing a door so you can order or tell someone one how many left or right hand doors you need

Thank you.

Love your hinge jig with dust port, brilliant idea mate

I was always told measure 6” down from the top is your top hinge and 9” up from the bottom of the door, thats from new build , if its different from existing hinge placements you tidy up the work area and place your tools in the van and go fishing or go to the pub😂😂😂😂

Leaf of the hinge 150 mm down from the top And 250 up from the bottom

lovely couple 🥰

G,day Scott and Jess from Sydney Australia. Pro tip specials * Often there is a sticker 'lock here' on hollow core doors. * Add a diagonal brace, running past the jamb styles and head. This helps stand the jamb flush with the jib (drywall). * Pre prime and paint the bottoms of the jamb and door. Even a spray can of primer undercoat will do. 🦉🇦🇺
