Rotten door repair

[@garymucher4082]

Nice repair. I would sand down the entire door now and refinish it. That would offer the best protection against rot again... Thumbs Up!

[@hannanjaimet17]

My thoughts exactly. I don't understand why he didn't.

[@Jacob-de-Veroveraar]

Customer didn't want that.

[@mikebernard4762]

Good job, but would it not have been better to have the 45 deg. scarf joint running the opposite way to prevent any water tracking into the end grain if the glue does not hold?

[@theyuppychippy]

Good point and it isn’t perfect. I only had access to scraps of timber so I had to do the best I could with what I had 👍🏼

[@neilfixes5501]

A very nice and satisfying traditional joiner's repair, but if you used epoxy resin, which saturates and seals the endgrains permanently, the biscuits and scarfing would not be necessary ...just clamp the joints accurately (with plastic wrap to separate the clamps from the epoxy) and water will never enter again. Epoxy-saturated joints are stronger than the timber they join, and replace dowells, biscuits and tenons in this application. (Softwoods like pine are a different case, as they are resinous and dont have lateral veins to enable good glue penetration). Also epoxy-coat the outer faces of the new timber and under the hinge recess. A modern boatbuilders repair, and not a bodge.

Great video

Nice to see all wood door saved rather than tossed and replaced with new composite door.

[@haydenharris5506]

Good field repair, next time the 45deg cut should slope down towards the outside so water will never run ‘into’ the door and a new weatherboard would really help.

[@thenullco]

[@robertkeyling3131]

Interesting way to fix it. Lot of work you did. Glue and outside - odd couple I always think Joints supporting waterdrain from out to inside (wrong angle)

[@everydaysabonus]

Very impressed, no narration needed, you are a proper craftsman. I would never have thought of doing it that way, which makes sense and gives it natural strength. I have a Festool Drill which has done me proud over the last 15 years, 2 new batteries but still perfect. That saw and guide make the job so much easier, professional kit 👍well done, good entertainment and went very quick, I’ll certainly have a look at your other projects 👌

[@glynluff2595]

Interesting repair. I like the contra slopes will remember that with hinge and clap. I like the bird song and the shot of flight as well. Carpentry does more listening than talking! I was told that by a boatbuilder over 40 years ago and he was right. As I don’t have biscuits I would have to use dowels.

[@davidduminy7360]

Good job. Honest repair 😊

[@theyuppychippy]

Thanks 👍

[@danarbuckle6640]

High quality work. I'm wondering why the biscuits were not in the middle but rather near the edges. Nice saw.

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

Two rows of biscuits would have been better. Dominos would have been better still.

[@xmark201]

biscuits should have been put in the slanted part.

[@mary-annnstednielsen5300]

Interesting for me to see, how one can fix parts of a door. Well done! Hi from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@theyuppychippy]

Thanks Mary, glad it’s helped and hi from the UK 👍🏼

[@ArteoMixedMediaArt]

Amazing repair!!! Very well executed and extremely relaxing video!!!

[@theyuppychippy]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@richardhill2538]

With such a long piece of would why use the end with a knot? Could have cut that bit off or use the other end.

[@theyuppychippy]

Other than your failed attempt at spelling “wood” I’m really not sure what difference it would have made.

[@alanupton7806]

Just one question. Wood sealer on the bottom edge?

[@theyuppychippy]

I did seal the bottom and the back of the door but not caught on camera. It would have been a schoolboy error not to have 👍🏼

[@johnthompson1558]

Great job guys! Carry on Mate-y.

[@peterholmesgavleman]

I wonder why are you unscrewed the top hinges first rather than starting at the low hinges, leaving the top hinges supporting the weight of the door. At the moment I have not seen the total video but I wonder if you will start the re-installation from the top?

I suppose that eventually all the foul mouthed, pedantic, hyper critical, and rude critics will move onto someone else and leave you in peace. Stick with it your doing OK. We all have our own way of doing things and make mistakes a long the way. Friendly constructive criticism can be very welcome.

[@theyuppychippy]

Thanks and I totally agree. I have taken a lot of good from the comments and I am always open to new ideas and alternative opinions 👍🏼

[@siteseeing7150]

love it. nice work bud

[@denisrenaldo3506]

You should also create an evacuation for excess water in that stair descent

[@theyuppychippy]

Sure, there is a drain inside the cellar but maybe it’s not enough.

[@casper8969]

Why not clamp the joints while the glue hardens, use the timber full width to reduce endgrain exposure

[@pointblank6467]

Amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing

[@theyuppychippy]

Thank you 👍🏼

[@unclestevep]

No weatherboard ?

Correct.

Great job! Comments are brutal. Silence is golden 🤐

[@theyuppychippy]

Thank you. Keyboard warriors mate! 👍🏼

[@FixthisCD]

Curious why you didn't biscuit the 45's? Also I heard the 3M Cubitron sandpaper is really good for the orbital

[@theyuppychippy]

Good point. The only reason I use biscuits is for alignment as the added strength is minimal. Once I’d aligned with the other biscuits I was happy with the finish so I didn’t add anymore. Will check that sand paper too 👍🏼

[@srw_cricket2976]

@@theyuppychippyCurious, if you didn’t use biscuits you’re suggesting glue only. Wouldn’t that be too weak?

[@thenullco]

@@srw_cricket2976 As always, the glue will be stronger than the wood itself.

[@bigchiefbear]

Why not keep festool theme going and put domino's in,much stronger.lol. but nice job.😊😊🎉

Agreed, but I am a peasant joiner and simply cannot afford one. However, Santa is coming… 🎅

[@eddienewall5033]

All this talk about biscuits is making me hungry. Apart from that, a skilful economical repair using some scrap wood that will probably outlast most of us. Well done!

[@georgerrust4087]

candle is ok but bees wax even better, and the best is an old discarded piece of wax ring (new) from a commode installation as it costs nothing and that is always the cheapest.

[@MohamedUAE]

Well done. You should have installed aluminum sheet from the outside of the door, at least, to give it long lasting life. Overall, well done and best of luck

[@barbarastorey9846]

Men could of swept the threshold could of put preserver on before hanging the door and what about the bottom that seals the door does that not need preserver also . I can forgive the not doing the whole door but under it is unforgivable

[@theyuppychippy]

All new parts of the door were sealed. I sealed the bottom off camera, hung the door off camera and did some sealing on camera. Hopefully no I can receive full forgiveness. Amen 😜

Could have.

While it looks nice and simple but unless you have all the tools it's probably quicker and cheaper to buy a new door from a DIY shed and get someone to hang it,

[@michaelplays2449]

Fantastic Job !!!! great video.........thank you

[@denisrenaldo3506]

Good work but it seems that the lower plank should be in the full length to give more strength to the repair

[@theyuppychippy]

Good point, I’ve never had one fail though. I also only had access to scraps of timber so I had to do the best I could with what I had 👍🏼

[@LindaMourning-j1x]

I hope you sealed the bottom of the door.

[@theyuppychippy]

Indeed I did.

[@LindaMourning-j1x]

I just repaired a door where they didn't.

[@peterholmesgavleman]

Ceiling, the bottom of the door is a good cure for the problem after you have inserted a new piece of timber. However, I imagine that the cause of the rotting bottom of the door was that rainwater gets down into the bottom of the stairwell at the foot of the door and causes, the damage over a period of time. I hope the owner of the building takes some preventative steps, such as putting a drain at the bottom of the steps in the concrete pad. In Britain there is a saying an ounce of prevention is much better than a tonne of cure.

[@justjimbeam]

A few bickies and a dollars worth of glue…you call that fixed?

[@theyuppychippy]

Yes, and if you don’t believe me ask your sister 👍🏼

[@fredradon2484]

The bottom should of been all the way, now the ends have open grain to suck up water.

Why rush the finish like it’s an afterthought? You should have taken the time and sand down the door and apply multiple layers of proper UV and water resistant lacquer or paint on the door. Do a proper job no matter what you do. I wouldn’t hire you to do anything.

[@theyuppychippy]

I love you 😘

[@patrickperry6945]

Lacquer ain’t water resistant. Paint won’t hold up in that situation either. I’d wrap that door bottom in aluminum.

I hope that the homeowner just wanted the door repaired and did not care how it looked. Poor choice of wood for the repair. The door is going to rot again.

[@theyuppychippy]

Your hope came true. He did just want a repair and wasn’t really worried about aesthetics. I know it’s difficult for the hard of thinking but if you read the description you will see that I used what was on site. There wasn’t anything suitable so the client said make do with what we had. Keep reading. Tally ho!
