This is a very well put together video, but in my humble opinion it's missing a few things. I would have dadoed the side jambs to receive the header for starters. and 1 quarter inch reveal is a tiny bit too much for me. I'd go with 3/16 total for the sides, and 1/8 for the header. One of the trickiest parts of setting a door jamb is making sure everything is square and plumb. A little more detailed instruction on that would be very helpful for anyone trying it out for the first time.
Thanks Wayne, I've been struggling with this project for a while.
I cannot use a pre-hung on my retro farm house. Your tips on laying it all out on a bench first, and clear footage of how to shim and set hinges have helped tremendously!
i wish you would have recorded how to install the door itself including mortising the door hinges and drilling the holes for the door knob. this video is very helpful though
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I've been looking high and low for a video on how to custom fit jams. Going to start it tonight.

I like this video, straight and to the point, a couple of rules I didn't know about were illuminated. Thanks.

This video was very very helpful for me as I built a new shed and had to hang a door. It worked out well. Thanks.
