I was commissioned to build all the doors in a client's house including four

barn doors a pocket door and a few bedroom and bathroom doors

I started out by milling the lumber square as usual

this style door has six panels separated by a stainless steel accents trim so I'm

cutting a dado down the length of the Stiles to accept the panels.

each panel will be held in place with a centered tenon the rest of the panel

will be able to expand and contract in the dado

so I am putting stop blocks

spaced out the width of the Tenon's this way I can use a collar on the router to

follow the walls of the dado as I cut as well as stop against the blocks creating

the mortises for the Tenon's

since I have 12 or so doors to build I thought

the quickest way to set up this jig system with the stop blocks was just to

screw them in. So i milled some some wood down to the width of the dado and then

cut them to length. just screwing them in place that way I could quickly pop

them in and pop them out as I moved from door to door.

Here's just a standard panel glue up. I use the Domino just for alignment purposes

well you know that old saying no woodworker ever has enough clamps this

is no exception. with 12 doors to glue up I did not have

enough clamps to glue up all those panels. so as I would clamp them up I

wrote the time on the board. That way I could tell how long they'd been in the

clamps and as I ran out of clamps I'd go back and take the clamps off the ones

that had been in the clamps for at least a half hour. This way I could just keep

going without having to stop

I cut out all the Tenon's on the table saw. That wide of a tenon it took two passes.

I set the fence up for the first pass I did all the panels and then I

move the fence over and then did a second pass to make the width of the

tenon

since the panels are so wide you did not want to glue them full width as this may

cause the panel to split during changes if humidity. so I'm just gluing the

center to add some extra strength. The center of the tenon goes deeper into the

style of your door while the rest just floats in the data keeping it from

cupping. so here I'm just trimming off the excess of the tenon so it will fit

properly. Since this is not a critical cut I'm using a block to move the

workpiece above the fence so I can make all the cuts at one time and not have to

reset up the saw between operations

since the router makes rounded mortises it's easier to round off the tenon than

it is to square the mortise. At least in my opinion.

I always cut my Tenon's a

little bit fat it's easier to sneak up on the tenon and take off more material

than it is to add material back on. I think the easiest way to sneak up on the

fit is just to take a few light passes with the shoulder plane until you got it

it took awhile to do all 12 Tenon's and all 12 doors but each one is a perfect fit

so these are the stainless-steel accent pieces I'm just marking off where I'm

going to put a screw to screw it to the panels that white coating you see is

just a protective layer it gets peeled off later I use the center punch to make

a dimple so there are the drill bit when wander around when it was getting

started. I'm drilling through stainless steel you gotta use a lot of cutting

fluid as soon as that drill bit started smoking it wouldn't drill another hole

to help me Center the stainless steel accent pieces i mocked up a little jig

this helped me hold the panel and the stainless steel in place while screwed

the two together I'm told this protective coating is some sort of PVC

but it's sure seemed more like vinyl it was a huge pain to get off

the scrap pieces of wood that I'm jamming into the stainless steel channel

has Tenon's on the end of them and those Tenon's will slide into the dado and

help keep it all Center while I screw it together. To prevent from having to

pre-drill all these holes to put screws in it I just use self-tapping screws

into the wood worked out great saves a ton of time for a little added insurance

to make sure that panels didn't rattle just in case the stainless steel came

loose or the panel shrank or somehow and they just rattled when you shut the door

I put that some weather stripping in there to take up the space so there

would always be a little bit of pressure against the panels to prevent it from

rattling. since these panels are pre finished before assembly I put a little

blue tape around each tenon to prevent any kind of squeeze out and I'll remove

that blue tape before the glue completely sets just just to make it

easier. I use West's system slow set epoxy to do the assembly for this.

I wanted to make sure I had plenty of time to get all the panels lined up in the in

the stainless steel channels and all the Tenon's in their proper place and

clamped up and square and and all that without having to worry about the glue

setting up on me before I was done. Here I'm just doing a final cleanup before

delivery. That PVC coating left a kind of a weird rub mark on the steel where it

was bent so it a little mineral spirits wiped it right off

And there you have it some custom doors made from cherry with an espresso

colored stain and some stainless steel accents. I think they turned out really

great. We use them for barn doors, your typical swinging door, and some pocket

doors

How to Build a Niche Site and Find Valuable Keywords for SEO - Doug Cunnington - Duration: 4:03.

- I was on a call a couple weeks ago with a guy,

Doug Cunnington, who's specialty is creating

these niche affiliate sites.

So, building a blog using SEO to drive traffic to it.

Then, using that traffic to go to Amazon

to buy products and make money that way.

I wanted to go in depth with him because affiliate marketing

is something I know almost nothing about.

And I wanted to get tactical and talk about

some of his best practices and what he does to build

these revenue generating sites.

The first thing I wanted to go over with him

was his golden ratio.

This is what I thought was key,

- [Doug] Basically, it's a data driven way to find

keyword that no one else is really trying to rank for.

So, You're looking for the supply and demand of keywords.

It's a manual way to look up these keywords,

so it's harder to do, there's fewer people doing it

and it really opens up sort of a world of keyword research

where you can find keywords that you don't have to do

link building in SEO for nearly as much.

So, I'll describe the actual concept which is fairly simple

there's only a few numbers.

So, there's the keyword golden ratio

and it equals the all in title results.

All in title is an advanced google query.

So you just type in allintitle:

and whatever your search phrase is.

And then you get some results, say it's 10.

Then you divide that by the local monthly search volume.

If you're new to keyword research you may have to

look up some of the vocabulary and stuff.

But the local monthly searches is just the average

number of times a person searches online in Google

for a specific search phrase.

Once you get that ratio, you want it to be below .25.

You find something below 2.25 indicates that it's like

underserved on the internet.

Again, supply and demand of keywords.

- It's interesting from a consulting point of view

that he's taken this math equation and made it

part of his selling process.

If he's consulting the people now he's talking about

the golden ratio instead of just talking about keywords

or whatever everyone else on the SEO space is talking about.

And a question I always have when it comes to SEO is

how to find keywords to target?

- [Doug] There's a lot of different methods.

A lot of times I just start from like brainstorming.

In general, you know, someone's problem.

A problem someone has, like shaving their head

with an electric razor.

So, you have to sort of put your mind from the perspective

of like a person with a problem who is trying to find

a product they need to find to solve their problem.

I hope I explained that well but you can just start

with a specific product, you know, you head over to Amazon

you take a look at a bunch of different

products and categories.

You type in electric razor into your keyword research tool

and you get all sorts of suggestions

and then you start whittling it down from there.

- And I know it's a bad question because, for me,

how we find keywords to target on this Youtube channel,

I usually create the content first and then search around

looking for keywords that could work for it.

Then I wanted to get super technical with him

and cover, how does he create a niche site

from start to finish?

- [Doug] So, you pick your niche,

you set up this site and then you publish some content

and then really, step four is around

promotion and link building.

So, the traffic for these niche sites, it comes from Google.

It's organic Google traffic

and

honestly, you know, it's white hat outreach these days.

- I love talking to people like Doug

because he makes starting a niche site sound so easy, right?

I feel like I could just put a little bit of money into it

and create blog posts and build this site overnight.

What did you take away from this conversation?
