Restoring a 53 year old door

[@abesouth3805]

Three things I love about your videos. No music, no talking and the perfectism.

[@RI-uv3lm]

Yes! & so unlike American videos!

[@1walkgirl]

i would love a guitar shredding intro though..........................😁

[@johnfurniss4175]

Great job can I ask is that glass safe for kids ?

[@janmarkaltmann7636]

Dont tell... Show!

[@bobafetting6373]

A NYW video pops up, I immediately click like and settle in for an enjoyable time. It’s that simple.

[@gladiomoritournaments]

can confirm, the guy just vibes

[@vennic]

Someday we will all hit like right away, and Russ will unexpectedly spew forth a diatribe of political and racially charged occult rhetoric. Then we will all have to take the unlike click of shame. That's why he doesn't talk on the videos, he's building up to it. All of my heroes are monsters.

Same.

[@briangmurray6367]

Silent education and comedy in one video - always worth watching - THANK YOU

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

'1971' may have been when the door was re hung! That looks like a late 1940's or 1950's sunray door to me and you have made a wonderful job of saving it. 🎉 Just stunning.

[@user-re6yo7tj5s]

After 15 years of living in our house,we realised that the pair of panelled doors leading to our dining room were actually a pair of these, ply covered with beading glued on. Unfortunately they were without glass or beading but we were chuffed anyway and sent them to a furniture maker we know who restored them and replaced the glass with a plain glass etched with a scene across the panes,they were in exceptionally good condition underneath the panelling and had only a couple of coats of paint before being covered. The restorer believed them to be from early1950's and noted that the timber was of really good quality.

[@mattelias721]

I'm not sure what's most impressive about you - your skill, or your patience. As someone who's hung doors, it blew my mind watching you freestyle that thing into the opening.

[@dr.skipkazarian5556]

Fabricating that little shaping tool from the old hand saw was as seriously creative as I could ever hope to see...well done Old Mole.

[@antonoat]

Hurray, a new video! 😀👏👍

[@eltahirkarrar5354]

Exactly 😂

[@ceb964]

I'm genuinely surprised that you didn't have an appropriate router bit in your possession to cut the missing bit of beading so you were forced to violate a defenceless old saw for raw materials in order to manufacture a profile cutter with your own hands. Fab work in everything you touch as usual. Bless you all.

[@DeniseFandrick-tl3gi]

I love your video! No talking, no music. Other KZbinrs could learn from this.

[@plainnpretty]

It’s a beautiful door and you done a wonderful job putting back to work . Thanks

[@soulextracter]

Really love the subtle humor: 05:09 "I used a special tool to gently scrape the soft paint" [uses flat head screw driver] 10:25 "I filed it down until the beading profile appeared" 11:16 "I found this random piece of pitch pine in my big pile of pitch pine offcuts" 13:53 "The door was too narrow and too tall, unlike m|

[@raxet92]

20:00 "This paint could take a lot of criticism and insults" [It had a thick skin]

[@mwappett]

I loved the double vice bit. He is human after all!

[@plainnpretty]

I agree he is human but a very clever human

[@vincentdickens939]

I am neither a woodworker or a home improver, but I follow you religiously, because of your passion and attention to detail in all you do, and I love to learn. As a lover of Hi-Fi audio, I think it was your Turntable base video that first lured me into your world, and now I consider myself a part of it...

[@christopherwheeler688]

The 'woodworking monk' strikes again. Always a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. Cheers!

[@chrisflee1]

Man strips a door, man paints a door, man fits a door...... and I watched it all in x1 speed. Lovely job.

[@NobleExcalibur]

So good to see another video, the time you take in your work is amazing, i love being able to watch that house become your home little piece at a time. the only downside was this was a little short :D

[@krenwregget7667]

Very nice. We all know you could easily build new but I like that you repurpose and restore the old door instead of tossing it.

[@josephwofford5090]

I've been working on old houses since the earl 80s and still always learn something new from the NYW. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@johncollier7744]

4th September 1971, two days before I started work as a 15 year old apprentice. Wish I could turn the clock back, happy days. But NYW makes today a whole lot better. Yet another great video,😊

[@Stixies]

My compliments to a job well done. I just refinished my wooden front doors (double door set) that were originally hung in the late 70s as well.

[@wasdaletimelapse7658]

I dread to think of the number of those sun ray doors I have thrown in skips over the years. I have not seen one for quite a while though. I wish I had had the space to keep some of the doors I have changed for customers over my career, there were some really great designs and quality back in the day. You did your usual thorough job and the door looks great, just tell your girls to be careful as it isn't safety glass. A tip on the paint cans is that if you make sure the lid is on tight and store them upside down then it can't form a skin, as the air can't get to it. Only works for solvent based paints obviously. Thanks for sharing.

[@idontthinkso666]

All it takes is ONE can not perfectly sealed to put an end to THAT bad idea.

[@jonaswhale6451]

Old doors are business these days , in Amsterdam there are lots of doors thrown away , and there is a big Seller of old doors . I dont have the space to but once in awhile i pick one up to the fourth floor with no elevator and make a dressoir or a kabinet from them

[@PJJ196]

Yessssssss I love Saturday morning posts by this guy.. longer the better .. love you yorkshire!!

[@upandabout6362]

Another great job. These doors are actually called “Sunrise” Doors! They take me back to my childhood.

[@jasperdemann5936]

29:53 All screw slots aligned. Excellent. 👌🏾

[@UKRussellSmith]

Great job, maybe consider safety film on the glass, especially with the kids. Stick it on the smooth side of the glass, you won't even notice it.

[@BeasleyStreet]

Good point👍🫡

[@Quaker521]

Great to see the door given a new lease of life. Fantastic work as usual. Thanks for the upload.

[@cnuttall4193]

Absolutely love your videos and your work. If you have time to post more please do. I look forward to seeing you and the progress on your home.

[@stephenyoud6125]

Your wife has the patience of a saint waiting for that house to get finished ! But the business has to also keep running. Great work as usual and a few pro tips passed on

[@sharong8511]

And I considered myself lucky if my former boyfriend took out the garbage! 😂 The sheets of MDF sat in the closet waiting to be transformed into bookcases for my book collection for about oh, five years? Rumour has it they’re still sitting there. I wouldn’t know. I grew tired of the empty promises and made my own bookcases, in another place.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Everything you make, Russ, looks amazing. That door is gorgeous and thank you for the view out the kitchen window. The back garden still looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing your upgrades with us all.

[@bountyhuntermk2520]

Brilliant - been waiting on an update

[@maxadrian]

What is super helpful when installing hinges is to use a self-centering drill bit or a hinge drill bit. I'm positive that you know about them. I just learned about them and am so grateful that I did.

[@paulhammond7489]

Lovely job! 2 points... One can never, ever have enough clamps, and it's great to see the kitchen blackboard getting a good workout

[@diamondperidot]

WOW! WOW! Your skills, imagination and patience are off the charts! Your use of the old saw was mastery at its finest.

[@magnolavaughn7928]

Good morning. I"m all the way from Tennessee in the usa I'm new to your channel, about a month. Your work is phenomenal. Even a black 81 woman year old can see that. You have beautiful daughters. I've never seen the wife, where is the wedding ring? 😊

[@Paddington60]

Thanks for filming and bringing us along!

[@TheXeneco]

Always a pleasure to watch you work 🎉

[@andyca15]

That carbide scraper noise is delightful... reminds me of nails on chalkboard

[@fionat5698]

I had to turn the volume down haha

[@prishanireddy689]

😂

[@HylaTube]

See, I was going to comment, that I much preferred gloopy mess to unbearable screeching :)

[@diamondperidot]

Agreed😅

[@LauraoftheShire]

Mute is a beautiful sound.😉

[@SpartanMJO12]

Showed this to my dad who's a traditionally trained joiner - he was apprehensive of your methods but very impressed with the results 😂

[@AndrewBrierley]

This is the show to watch when you want to feel like you can accomplish anything if you work hard enough , but need a hit of reality check; because you know you don't have this level of patience or skill. I love your work! Thanks for sharing and I hope you get more subscribers because you certainly deserve them.

[@tinakilpatrick5312]

Nice work but I've always seen doors with this pattern hung the other way up which makes sense as the sun is above us and its light shines down.

[@markchisholm2657]

But, when the sun rises or sets is when you get the rays....

[@z4zuse]

0:08 at least it is the same way up as it was

[@kathydixon7565]

i thought so too, so i watched from the beginning again and it was hung the same way. I suppose it's personal preference.

[@astrecks]

For me, a rising sun signifies a new day, and the future. A setting sun signifies the passing of time.

[@DragonXVI]

Can’t wait to see what you have planned for the next project!

[@mscaro6555]

Our front door was 10 panels of that exact glass. The number of times my dad had to reglaze the bottom 4 - they were always getting smashed by footballs etc. Thank god none of us ever put a limb or a head through the glass!! I can still see him removing the broken panes and the smell of the linseed putty fitted around the new ones. Takes me right back 😊 Beautiful work Sir and thank you for saving that wonderful old door 👏

[@thespaniard1810]

Brilliant job as always, Russ. Love the humour too. I was a little disappointed when at about 6 minutes in you finished scraping one side of the door and didn't say 'rinse and repeat' 😂. Keep the videos coming.

[@IgnatiusZaaijman]

A master craftsman at work.

[@capatainnemo]

I know that feeling of hours of work then flipping over and realising you have to do the same again

[@magomat6756]

You are a real craftsman something these days become something very rare .love your videos

[@LauraoftheShire]

A pleasure to watch you work as always; and that door brings great light into your kitchen space. Can't wait to see the other one. Take care.

[@rebeccawoods2481]

I hate watching this guy. In the field of workmanship, he's beyond super human. 😇 A previous poster mentioned no music, no talking, and for me, this truly is a bonus. The level of skill & expertise speaks for itself. I loved the ingenuity of the self-made beading tool. Another epic watch.

[@soulextracter]

"I hate watching this guy." Why? You just recounted all his positive traits.

[@Asphyxia-l8i]

@@soulextracter It’s called irony 🙂

[@rebeccawoods2481]

@soulextracter You need to learn the art of comprehension alongside an 'intentional' contradiction, otherwise known as a joke. How old are you? 12?

[@rebeccawoods2481]

@Asphyxia-l8i Thanks, bud. There's always one sniper, so I'm glad you made this reply.

[@soulextracter]

@@rebeccawoods2481 Sniper? Also, I know what irony is, but this example looked so odd. Usually when one starts with something like "I hate watching this guy" you follow up with something along the lines of "He's so good, It makes me realize how bad I am at it". But that whole part was just omitted, instead it was just "I hate watching this guy" and a bunch of praise. It just looked like you mistyped, or got auto corrected.

[@RobertHornaday]

Love how you used an old saw blade to fashion a scraper to make your own moulding!

[@MrBrut33]

Great project. But was lol at the 3 year comments! I feel the 3 year old touched a nerve with you! 😂 Great channel btw. Thank you.

[@Beth-kg1lz]

My auntie has that exact same door in her house which is largely untouched since she purchased it in the 1960s. Good to see you restoring yours, it’s way nicer than the crap quality ones available nowadays

[@t.8235]

Love your videos! Allways a joy to watch true craftsmanship👌

[@erikslagter3231]

Proper job! Love this vintage door

[@paulhume8083]

Grab a beer, sit back, watch and relax. Perfect.

I love your attention to detail and quiet working area, we would get along in a shop.

[@dianaf2077]

Watching you work is mesmerizing!

[@dg2908]

I was expecting you to reglaze it with something safer, but it's your house, your project, and your decision

[@kris856]

I have been wishing for he whole day to see a new video on thich channel - and YES! - the dream have come true. I love your videos, your craftsmanshio, your editing. God bless you Sir!.

Your attention to detail is epic.

It may not have been an original feature, but it's still a part of the house's character, nice work getting it back to looking like new again... :)

[@memofrf]

Attention to detail is mind blowing. Thank you.

[@Simonsimps]

There's no better feeling than getting slotted screws covered in paint out. Top job, it looks great.

[@antsquirly7654]

I love watching you work, it's gratifying to see craftsmanship still exists. Thank you.

[@alexmacdonald4270]

Glad you saved and repurposed the sunray door, next is that abomination of the kitchen pvc door, I can’t wait to see what you replace it with. And if you make it yourself. I hope it matches the sunray door. ❤

[@mikekordain7511]

forget those thunder and rain videos, NYW videos are the most relaxing thing I can imagine.

[@greggcoulter6008]

The only problem with this video is it’s not long enough! I’m actually a little surprised you didn’t build a door from scratch and maybe using the cnc and laser cutter while also reusing the glass. I’m being facetious of course. I’m always fascinated by the skills you possess. Great work. Cheers from Philadelphia

[@blacknight1003]

As always . . . Another marvelous job, something to be proud of. I wish you could turn out more of these renovation vids, I so look forward to seeing them as and when. Thanks again for posting.

I remember those doors we had a few. Hated that glass though. Great job.

I wish I had your patience and meticulousness! Gorgeous job!

[@Galerak1]

2:34 - I'm wondering how many viewers are getting that 'fingernails down a blackboard' reaction about now 🤣 Anyway, back to the video lol 19:59 - I totally agree, that paint was incredibly 'thick-skinned' 😆

[@richardh1127]

I love watching your videos. You are so thorough. Good to watch 🎉

Master restoration. Thank you.

[@MrHighflyingclive]

i love the bahco carbide scraper!

[@glynnepritchard2526]

Someone finally found a good use for the daily fail! And that door is a lot older than 1970s, it looks like pitch pine, old growth at that.

[@telosfd]

There are always a lot of comments and observations , but I liked it!

[@markpitts5194]

It’s a door seed , it’ll grow more doors presumably 🤔🍻

[@iamrobfromcardiff5515]

Incredible video as always… love watching your handiwork as well as soothing presentation style. I’m in no position to comment on your work… BUT… with your lovely kids around, please be careful about these old 70s glass doors - if one of the kids fall in to them, or slam too hard, they can break in to horrible shards easily. Happened to me in our old house growing up when I was 4 - luckily escaped any real injury by how the glass fell, but was luck rather than safety.

[@pdstokes8]

That's a great job mate. You had some serious clampage going on there as well 😁

[@AJC-ym2jx]

Wonderful workmanship, patience and attention to detail as usual. A couple of comments: The closing side of the door frame looks as if it could do with some attention. Would the glass have been safety glass back in 1971? Just thinking of your nippers.

[@debrad400]

Good lord. Love your videos. Never miss one. But today that carbide scraper set my teeth on edge.

[@jcb208]

You have a lot of patience ,most of us would of binned the door and bought a new one at the thought of all that work
