Hi, Larry. We just finished watching your door remake. Some of those original tenons were so long and in great shape. I wonder why some were torn up like shredded wheat! You deserve a trophy for all that scraping! 🏆 Your workshop is so large, and the hardwood floor is nice. Is that a room you added on to your house, or could it have been a repurposed garage? We watched you do so many things, and sometimes I was confused. I asked my husband, “Why is he ripping those panels and then gluing them right up again? Did he change his mind?” Kurt explained that you were making them smaller, narrower. Then I understood a lot of what came next. You used bits that were cut off to make other parts longer, joining end grain and side grain with dowels. Excellent! You chiseled out panels where there were no panels. Wow! You just reconfigured that whole door using parts of itself to do so. That shallow shelf with the dental-type blocks is really charming, and I’m thinking that must be a hallmark of the craftsman style. You employed a biscuit joiner, too, to put together other sections. I’m hoping you enjoyed the process because I know it took a while to do this project. The embossed hardware looked so pretty once you’d cleaned it up, and the black paint still allows one to see the details. The knobs polished up well, too. There are many other things I didn’t mention, but we saw them all, and we appreciate all the work you put into it to make a beautiful door for your office. I think you must feel proud of it, but not the bad kind of pride! I noticed that’s the room you laid those nice tiles in, too. You created an awesome, solid door! Bravo! Kurt wants to know what kind of guitar that is. I think the pickguard had the look of a Fender Venus, but Kurt says no. He’s a guitar aficionado so he’s always curious.

Thanks for watching, it was an ambitious project. The goal , besides needing a door, was to repurpose one of the old doors and to look like the front door on my grandparents home in WV. The tenons were damaged during disassembly because I had to drill the wedges out. I would rather scrape than sand as sanding can “cup” the wood and create a lot of dust in the air. You mentioned the shop floor, 4 years ago when we moved here I took the oak flooring out this home and stored it under the house for a year and a half until we could get a shop again. The oak flooring was reclaimed from a near by horse farm, by the way. The idea for the office, beginning with the door and the craftsman shelf on it, is when you enter you step back in time. Built ins are a future office project. The guitar will remain and will, hopefully, be the only thing seen that isn’t from yesteryear. I found the guitar and amp at a yard sale for a ten dollar bill the fretboard was Cheetos grubby with a broken string or two. I am right in the middle of making a different pick guard for it as we speak.

What products did you use to get rid of the rust and polish the legs of the table? Also what did you use to clean the tabletop? Once the porcelain / enamel has chipped is there anything that can be done to improve appearance of chipped areas? Great job by the way!
@LarryRohr-he7lj Ай бұрын
On the legs I used a product called Flitz it is a fantastic metal polish. The legs also had some rust which went down to the metal leaving spots where there was no chrome finish. After polishing the legs I (painstakingly) taped the legs and sprayed those areas with the same silver paint used on other areas of the project. On the enamel top I also used Flitz, it was a super slow process but took spots out that looked like scratches that weren’t going to come out. I’m not sponsored by them it is just an amazing product. Also on the top I used bar tenders friend in the liquid form. On the next enamel top item I have lined up to do I will use the bartenders friend product first then the Flitz. In the last part of your questions you ask if there was anything that helps if enamel has been chipped off. A better than nothing answer is a paint pen (the kind you shake ) is better than trying to cover with spray paint. You can typically find those at hobby lobby or Michaels etc. I hope this helps.

I did not test for lead paint. The table in the video is from the 50’s to 60’s. There was not a large volume of wood to be scraped to be honest I was not overly concerned with lead paint. Before you start on yours there are lead test kits available. If the dust bothers you I strongly suggest a respirator. I’m not sponsored by woodcraft buy they have them in the 40$ range by eclipse. We have several in our shop. I’m sure you could order on line as well. Good luck with your set.

Good question. True the doors could be removed by a determined burglar. They would only access hvac duct work and a few stored tools along with ladders. The main reason for the lock is on at all is to keep curious little ones from going into the crawl space, removing the possibility of some kind of tragedy from happening.

Good point. I glued each board, ( the original doors did not glue) then nailed from the front side. After nailing I added screws every 5mm on the back of the doors. the build did not show that I added reinforced frame to the back of each door for additional strength as well. I need to add door sweeps to the bottom of each door soon too.

I duplicated the style of the old doors which were built with 45 degree cuts ( the diagonal cut was 55 degree angles but that was not shown in the video. Also not shown was reinforcement to the back of the new doors.) the original doors were built when the house was and lasted 17 years.
