Removing A Window & Replacing With Alcove Oak Shelving

[@chrisharrison6532]

Good video Keith never mind the critics I ask myself how qualified are they to criticise a genuine man who is sharing his experience with us to help us and not to big himself up as how good am I look what i csn do. I've followed your channel since you more or less started and have noted your determination and progression in your hobby / trade only can i say WELL DONE KEITH

Your response to the negative comments is spot on. You could have just written point 2!

[@spunkmeyer43]

Just some people astound me... the creating of a project and filming and editing it so it is coherent and entertaining is a huge undertaking and requires alot of time... makers get no where near enough money from youtube because by the very nature of the videos they take an awful lot more effort than some wank spangle playing mine craft and filming it and churning them out... I dont Patreon yet but I am coming round to the idea but how dare people get pissy if Keith rewards the people who actually put money into the channel...

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

When it comes to repurposing wood, you are the king to me! I must have missed the video of you using those oak shelves in previous projects. They are beautiful and you used them for just the right project. This is why I dumpster dive at construction sites, especially for reno's or additions. You can find some beautiful woods especially of it is an old home. Of course, you should always secure permission to do so before trespassing onto the privately owned property. My brother did something similar in his own house with oak he recovered from a job site. He made a shallow cabinet between studs in his bathroom for shampoo, shaving lotion, soap and the like. He had enough oak leftover that he made a raised panel door for it too. He matched the existing stained or sealed oak and he was able to cover the entire door to match the shelving and you cannot tell the difference. I was the one who suggested to make that cabinet because I was lacking storage in my bathroom when I bought my house some 20 yrs earlier and made the same type of recessed cabinet. It's a simple project, but people are afraid to cut into sheet rock. There's plenty of tutorials online on how take one too. I'm really loving your new shop. It's so organized for you and everything has its own station. Good day!

You post, what you want to post, where you want to post it. You provide loads of free woodworking content on the channel that I really enjoy, supported a local woodworking charity when you could have done loads of "give aways" to boost subscriber numbers when you got the new hicoki (can't spell it sorry) tools. Yes I'd love to see more of your renovations as I'm an essential craftsman/restoration couple/build show/Matthias Wanndel/etc... fan, and would love to see what you do, but I'm sure as sh1t not going to complain that a stand up guy chooses to have some rewards for his loyal patrions, regardless of the fact that it's bad for your channel (which in itself would be completely understandable). Keep up the great content, thanks for your services to woodworking learning.

[@Hairdid]

Ignore the haters Keith. Your channel is great. And don't feel bad about patreon exclusive content there is nothing wrong with it. It's a reward for people who make the chanel viable. If there are people out there who don't understand that, it's their problem. Keep the videos coming👍👍👍

I have been watching your videos ever since you built your shop in your garden. I watch your videos because they are well organized and paced. You are also one of the few woodworkers on KZbin still doing traditional build videos. This video applied to me quite well as I also have an internal window I am thinking of replacing with shelving. Do what you need to do as long as it is legal and moral. There is nothing wrong with wanting to make a living off of what you produce.

I'm so excited to see the house renovations!

[@alooshalshammari5915]

fabulous

[@libertadahora6547]

Great job! We had a useless window between the bathroom and the kitchen. Bathroom was in the 60s the kitchen... transformed into a bathroom and the new kitchen is actually part of the house extension. The new shelf is actually almost twice yours in depth as there are two walls (Belgian walls are quite thick so 2 of them side by side are even thicker). So we did a double shelf, integrating an opaque glass in between the bathroom and kitchen part so as not to lose any light but not be able to see the one who's in the shower ;) It's nice and useful adding some storage in both rooms. Mine is made out of pine. At first I wanted everything wood made of oak; but we ended up using natural pine and I find it stunning in that old house. For once, I find something I've done in my own house, I'm super happy!

[@twwanderer]

Great video as always and interested in seeing how the house renovation goes (you were doing it before Gosforth Handyman)! Don't listen to any of those folks who are down on you, you give out a lot for free and the Patreon-only videos are like icing on the cake. It's just a shame that it's compounded by the allmighty Algorithm. Keep doing what you are doing, make sure to feature Dylan as often as possible and you'll be keeping this Patreon happy!

Turquoise walls were the main of my life 12 years ago when we first moved into the farm, if the walls were not turquoise they were cold blue aside from the main reception room which was red all with the same brown woodwork like yours. 10 years to complete the farmhouse we decided to relocate 300 miles north to Newcastle and now I'm two years in to this (last) renovation 🙄 I don't envy you but it's very rewarding when its finished. Keith thanks for sharing your life with us on here and i wish your both well.

[@enabledworkshop]

nice work Keith, ignore the haters, and ROLL ON 100,000 subscribers! 🥳

[@wauhawk]

Though your oscillating tool did the job most use a reciprocating saw to cut nails and screws when removing window and door frames. Also I would have actually used the oscillating tool to cut away the window sill. There is also a trick using two sticks for taking more accurate inside measurements. You put the end of one against one side and the end of the other against the other. Then make a mark either on one of the sticks where the end of the other lands or across both as if marking for a biscuit or domino jointer. You can then pull the two sticks out and measure end to end. Always take at least a top, bottom, and middle measurement when dealing with window and door openings like in this video. All in all you did a fine job. No one was hurt or dead in the end. None of my suggestions were from you doing anything exactly wrong just sharing how I or most others would have approached it. You may find your methods to have been easier perhaps even better. Just thought I'd offer a couple ideas.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Great ideas! I don't have a recip saw though, and not sure I really need one for the kind of work I do. I dig the two stock inside measurement trick but never remember to use it!

[@FuzzyScaredyCat]

I know you've probably set out a plan for the order of doing things but one piece of advice is do the kitchen and living room last. I know from personal experience that once those are done, the house becomes 'liveable' - that's the danger point where work seems to slow down because it's tolerable. Of course you might have more self control, but I though it worth mentioning.

[@AlMoxtar]

I find personally that the worry and stressful anticipation is much much worse than roughing it up during the works. Especially if one has to generate an income and do the work themselves simultaneously, it makes sense to start with the big push (kitchen), get the worry over, then do the rest at a more sporadic pace.

[@Hargiwald]

I love shellac. Beautiful, timeless classic finish and lovely to work with even for the beginner. How old is the house and its doors? I guess it's a bit of a shame to paint them, but I don't think they'd look half bad in a warm, creamy white or a warm grey, depending on the colours of the walls. Another solution could of course be to choose more neutral colours for the walls and leave that mahogany exposed, though if the mahogany-imitating pine doors are found in the same room they might cheapen the feel of the real doors.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Shellac is great stuff yeah. The house is 1930s. The bathroom door you see in this video is solid hard wood so I'm going to recycle the wood and just it for a future project - can't bear to paint it!

Excellent job, Keith. Could you specify the shellac you used, please. I could not find shellac in your Amazon favourite finishes, and a shellac search seems only to bring up a 'Shellac based primer-sealer' in the UK.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks! The stuff I've used is the barrettine shellac sanding sealer, but it's great as a finish. It's blonde shellac so doesn't add much colour. Available at tool station.. I've also used Rustin's french polish (which is the one I used in the video) which adds more of an amber colour. I don't like it as much as the barrettine one but it was just the job for this project to make the new wood match the old finish
