I love watching these videos. You not only see how things are repaired and learn how to do them for yourself but you also realise hwo much work goes into fixing things. Love the 'new' door!

[@danimalgb8387]

Thank You for this post. Planning this exact fix on a 70-year-old door next weekend and doing some research. I will steal the trick with the router guide screwed onto the door - I didn't think of that.

mid way through this video, I was like "did I click on the wrong video? where is the goddam door restoration?", oh never mind.

[@shonaboufford7342]

I really like how they were able to return the doors physical integrity and still keep it mostly original.

[@Smurphenstein]

I love watching these videos, not only so I can watch fine workmanship but so I can learn more techniques I can use with my power tools.

Hello John, Thank you for your video. The attention to detail is fantastic, hopefully, the door will last another 100 years.

Typical Boss turns up to help you put the letter plate into place 😂👍🏼 cheers boss I really needed your assistance with that!

[@newellbutch]

Really nice work. Nice to see that there are still people who take pride in their work.

[@WojciechP915]

I didn't even realize that you installed a temporary door until the very end. Very good work, and efficiently done too.

[@user-ws6tz4ko1u]

Easy come, easy go..))) Respect for your working from Russia.

Great work. One step I would add, Before applying bondo, Apply wood petrifier, I was a Contractor in Seattle for over 20 years, its a great wood preserver and makes old, soft wood hard, also prevents future rot.

Amazing! This kind of skill and craftsmanship are very hard earned. Very good job. And on that note, I'll be leaving my original 130 yr old door that was once on our house, at the back of the garden shed, where I found it. This is way beyond my skill set.

[@VicFroman]

Nice job very common sense approach to the issues you encountered during the rebuild

[@davepelfrey3958]

Excellent and beautiful job on this door repair. I Love what you all do, fixing broken and making it work again.

[@csucskos]

Glad you finally fixed that DAMN DOOR!

[@lingamwiva5967]

Грамотная работа и не только в плане работы с деревом и инструментом! Молодцы

[@stever2633]

Very nice craftsmanship! And you didn’t ask for my opinion, but a cranky old carpenter taught me years ago the reason these old doors last as long as they do relies on drainage of the stile-to-rail connection; any moisture that gets into the joints between bottom rail, stiles and panels (and it will) drains out if the stiles (vertical members) run past the ends of the rails (horizontal members)... if the rails run past the ends of the stiles the drainage path is blocked, water can’t get out, rots the rail, stiles, panels faster than before... same with windows. That said, please keep the videos coming! Thx

This is great. Thanks so much for making this video. I really needed to see the part starting at

[@onlythewise1]

things are so much better when ya got the right tools and your not drinking or on pot

[@stankolodin5586]

I like how you can see them loading up the old door from inside the house.
