DVD Reviews of Installing Doors & Windows
DVD Review: "Just Like A Volkswagen!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Informative and well produced, a great tutorial video on how to install doors and windows in a traditional old-school manner. No storebought templates or Home Depot pre-hung doors here, folks. And Tom Law uses some great old-world tools, - a Yankee? It's almost like my grandfather has come back to life. Gramps probably would have loved it; he always said hanging doors properly is the true test of a good carpenter. Or that he hated doing it; I forget.
Tom takes the high road and puts forward the correct procedures for installing doors and windows on a purpose-built set. At first I was put off by the scholastic approach, I was looking for immediate answers to a problem I was facing, not a lengthy classroom session. However, if you take the time to learn how to hang doors and install windows in the ideal setting, that knowledge can then be adapted to reality, and this video is a great way to get back to the fundamentals of these challenging tasks. Even though the bad-on-purpose "disaster door" is a bit contrived, it offers a good way to learn how to solve common problems without resorting to Bob Villa-esqe chicanery. . There are a great many tips and tricks that may be new to you, I have learned that with any new source of learning, if I pick up even just a few new ideas, it is time well spent.
