Love to see you doing repair jobs like this, it gives the DIYer hope. I've no doubt when Trend see the part "I haven't the correct cutter for this" there'll be one in the post. 😂

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha! Thats i point i could have probably got one from Trend. Im too used to mackling a solution up

[@Dazza19746]

Nice 👍🏻 I did a 3 m cill on a window 10 stories up last year, the jambs were pretty good, normally i ‘splice’ regardless like your self. This Time I could make my cill slightly ‘beefier’ scribed and cut the jambs each side and slid it in from the inside, obviously I just needed to pop the architrave and didn’t have flooring and carpet to deal with😂 but it worked beautifully! So quick to! For a first time ‘gamble ‘ job 👍🏻. Like you the idea flashes in your mind ‘this seems a good idea…should work’ but there’s always that doubt in the back of the mind 😂 Happy new year mate 👍🏻

i can beat that story .i went to a 75 year old cabin on bainbridge island wash. to replace a rotten threshold . four months later after having to tear down 90% of the building the sill was replaced . 😂 each piece that we removed uncovered more rotten insect devoured wood . fortunately the client was filth rich . there were four other houses on the property that they wanted to remodel so i became the resident carpenter there for THREE years . talk about insane good luck .

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video !!!! thanks

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Michael

[@gregorymacneil2836]

I have done the same trick with the two part sill but have used PVC house trim for the board since it’s not prone to rot and can be painted. I have also experimented with making folding wedges out of PVC House Trim to push the sill up. If you use PVC glue between the folding wedges you can get the wedges to apply a lot of pressure because the glue acts as a lubricant before it sets allowing you to set the wedges with hand pressure. They say PVC trim is not for structural applications but have found it works for replacement door and window sills where structural loads can be controlled and limited to light compression and uniform loading

[@its9429]

It seems in a driving rain water would run down the jamb weather strip and overwhelm the small dam of the steel insert in the sill. Anyway beautiful work... and I always learn something new from you.

[@BradshawJoinery]

In seriously heavy rain any timber door is going to have a fail point but yes a rebate is slightly more susceptible to water ingress than a raised bar. Depends how.much overhand a d gaps are involved.

[@johnbolwell5969]

Great job. The sill looks slightly under-supported visually but I can see there is stonework underneath that might require access. The expanding foam is obviously sufficient? What are folding wedges?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers John, 2 wedges that slide over each other cut from the same jig, so they lift parallel as they are tapped together. (old school)

[@barrychristian4050]

So couple of observations, Machining the grove after doing the bevel looked a bit wobbly, doing it before would have been more stable against fence. The weather board was cut in-between the frame, I was taught to let it in the frame.... Thoughts? Like the split cill and using the little air bags is genius 👌

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Barry, yes I should have machined the groove first for sure. I genuinely didn't even give it any thought. The backing board makes it alot easier/safer as it's a solid fererence fence I'm addition to the normal fences. Weather bar yeah should be housed into the frame but it's fine to have a tight cut. I've not seen much difference in heavy water pours. If housed I'm water just wells along the bar to the door edge anyway 🤷 Thanks for watching matey

Nice to see some proper workmanship. Here in the Netherlands most just want absurd amounts of money for doing a shitty job. I had three guys put up 8 tin roof plates on a tiny shed ( entire roof was about 40m2 ( approx 400 sqft ) and charged EUR 850 / $ 850 for labor only. Job was done by two guys in approx 4 hours. When they left it turned out they screwed the plates straight through to the other end with screws sticking through the ceiling everywhere.

@@BradshawJoinery gotcha….your attention to detail is outstanding . I aspire to to be as good as you some day ! 👍

[@clivewilliams3661]

Good quality joinery! My only concern would be the height of the SS water bar above the sloping cill threshold in that in driving rain water will drop off the weatherboard onto the cill and then be blown up and over the shallow SS water bar. Normally, I would spec a 10mm upstand. The draught seal at the base of the door may not prevent rain from weeping in. Having a two thickness cill section kinda goes against the grain but I can't honestly see why it shouldn't work. Was there some solid packs under the cill section because I could see over time that the cill may crush the krazy foam under the cill especially it has to take loads like goods being trollyed in?

[@BradshawJoinery]

It tends to be ok, As with all weather protection the deeper the setback the less likely there will be ingress. Yeah i slid some folding wedges under neath and tapped them together. My camera dropped down to pointing at the floor and i didnt notice..

I fitted a outward opening timber door that just came with a stiff rubber weather bar for the cill. Aside from being a pain to fit people keep kicking it out or standing on it. I was thinking of fitting a strip of wood behind the weather bar to the same height to stop people standing on it and give it some more support. Is this the right way to go? thanks

[@BradshawJoinery]

I am not sure. The best system ive found to retrofit is this one.. www.amazon.co.uk/Exitex-MWK20-Mobility-Weather-Threshold/dp/B07H6YHB5N/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3NZGRGPE9IPVY&keywords=MWK20&qid=1671494268&sprefix=mwk20%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-1 Cut 20mm of clearance from floor to door, then screw cill down and counterpart to door.
