Gorgeous work. I have a weakness for old doors, and think they’re really worth saving despite the heavy effort involved. Not many people would put 80 hours into something like that. You’re making the world a better place, Tom, one project at a time.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Yes, me too. I hate it when I see an old house with one of those cheesy Home Depot doors

[@nacekozo]

@@johnsonrestoration All our interior house doors were covered in 1960s hardboard, which covered beautiful original oak. It was a real challenge to remove the dozens of brads, fill them so they were invisible, and refinish. Got there in the end, but I wish I even had one tenth of your expertise!

[@VeretenoVids]

@@nacekozo 😱Oh that is a crime against architecture for sure! I am very grateful that there aren't too many "upgrades" in my 1910 house, though there were some questionable repairs done over the years.

[@laurenaderman573]

Zawesome refinish and fix! You are a trusted professional for all of todays video. 80 hours of meticulous care! Thank you for sharing!

[@justplanebob105]

As a new woodworker, I am guilty of looking down on pine for projects. And here is a beautiful pine door that has survived 225ish years and will likely last 200 more. After watching your beautiful restoration, I won't take pine for granted so much.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Very true! Pine can be very strong and beautiful - there are so many types though. And it can be difficult to stain

[@maryalice5357]

Maybe very large old trees without knots were used then?

You just gave that door another 100 years of life. Outstanding work Tom. I doubt there is a door on earth that has had this much time ,effort and dedication to excellence spent on it. Once again Tom I take my hat off to you.

Thank you! That's nice

epoxy resin and restoration... is this serious? The door functioned for +200 years, epoxy will not last that long.

[@susancarroll7697]

“The cobblers kids go barefoot” That’s what came to mind when I saw that door. I loved the patina, but you made it good for another 100 years and it looks beautiful!

Even the irons are painted! Ridiculous. Who painted door irons 200 years ago?

[@markmillward9733]

@@lecouflearthur7169 Thomas revived the door to life, a better one than it originally had, gave it strength and protection to live another 200 years, something you Frenchmen know nothing about.

[@ibbobo5162]

Marvelous job Thomas - every minute worth it! I did something similar to my own from door here in Manchester - made in the 1890's. Nightmare. Took me weeks. Layers and layers of indestructible paint - lead - fumes - no modern paint stripper worked - one layer smelled of grilled fish - ended up with razor-blade scraping. But now it is sound and solid and weather-resistant - it rains a lot here - and pine comes up a great glow after a few loving sandings and waxings. Keep up the good work!

[@johnsonrestoration]

Wow! I feel your pain! Congratulations on sticking with it. All the best...

As much as I enjoy your furniture restoration videos, this exterior door was a nice change of subject. Well done Tom.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks!

[@joescarborough1]

This project may have motivated me to tackle my front door. Although mine was built a mere 40 years ago, it was custom built for me out of old growth quarter sawn Rocky Mountain Douglas Fir (24 grains per inch, so the wood may well be hundreds of years old) by a sash & door company founded in the late 1800s out in Oregon. It is in much better shape because of the material used but it needs to be refinished on the exterior after 40 years of Appalachian Mountain weather. Now if I can just remember the stain blend recipe I used. 🤔 The topcoat will be Waterlox Satin Marine Finish. Thanks Thom.

[@johnsonrestoration]

You're welcome! Yes, definitely save that door! I want to try the Waterlox Marine

[@26beegee]

[@michaelpage7691]

It looks incredible. Have you ever looked into who has lived in your house since the 1700’s. Just watching you doing the door makes me think of how incredibly good the carpenters were in the day. Being subject to weather changes over the centuries, the door has lasted extremely well underneath all that crud. 👍🏻😁👏🇦🇺

Thanks! We have some names and dates, but I need to look at the census records. We often think about the history...

[@lostonwallace1396]

An incredible transformation, Tom! The door really needed your attention, and with Fall and Winter approaching soon, I know you're going to benefit from have a door that's properly sealed. The fact that it looks so good now, is just the cherry on top!

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Yes, I still have to do the weather stripping

[@porthole12]

Beautiful work. I concur on removing the storm door. I used to live not too far from you in Brunswick, and had a storm door and solid wood door facing South. The heat and humidity that built up between the doors was very hard on the wood door and frame. Many days during the winter and spring I’d just open the wood door until late in the day, there was enough solar heat coming through to warm the vestibule.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Yes, I'm going to see how it works without the storm. I'll keep a close eye on it. We plan to make a plank door as a storm in the winter

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Yes, it's a good feeling

[@sooth15]

Great restoration. The only thing I'd recommend is to put some sort of weather strip (drip edge) back along the base of the door unless the screen door shields all the water. The strip helps to wick water away from the door, otherwise the water will roll down under the front edge, causing the bottom to rot. It doesn't need to be anything super fancy. I made one for my porch door (which is fully exposed to the elements) and it's just a small moulding with a 45 degree bevel on the back side along the bottom.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Yes, I'm planning on a thorough weather stripping in the fall

Pine is NOT supposed to last like this when exposed to the elements. I'm amazed by the quality of both the original materials and of the restoration. Kudos, Thomas!

FANTASTIC Tom - obviously ! All that work, even with those mouldings and all the patience you have in restoring an old door. This was a great change for you, and us - not a beautiful piece of furniture, but an old door, and what a job you did. It's stunning . Thank you for sharing your skills with us, you are a fascinating man to watch. Take care 🙂

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thank you Michael!

[@zestoslife]

So great to see someone take the time to do a high quality job that will last well beyond ones lifetime. Shows true character and commitment to the the right thing. Also blows me away that this door is as old or older than any door in my country, since we only have European settlement for last 175 years or so. Obviously before that the indigenous Maori had doors but they were not made to resist the elements / not rot so have passed away.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Yes, we are always amazed to be living in a 252 year old house!

[@GinWren]

Wow! Incredible! Excellent video. Loved the close-up before and after shots, such as showing the sanding detail. Only under your expert hands could those tragic molding pieces have been restored. They looked destined for the trash bin to me. The staining and top coats were so satisfying to watch. Even with all the sanding, the beautiful aged character of the wood is still there. Thank you for putting in the effort to record and share your work.

[@johnsonrestoration]

You're welcome! I appreciate that!

[@brownunderground]

As much as I love your furniture videos, this one has to be my favorite video so far. I work in historic preservation, and I work with a lot of old window frames and doors. Your door looks amazing! One question: did you consider using linseed oil based paint with organic pigments? That would have been truer to the period-and quite durable-but were you more concerned with longevity? Awesome channel. I hope you’ll continue sharing personal project videos well into your retirement!

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! There are so many ways to go with the finish - so far I'm liking this one. It's south facing - no protection - I'm not sure linseed oil could hold up

[@amieinnovascotia3237]

I learned duct tape can be used on wood. I would have feared tape glue getting into wood grain.This was another video from you where my eyes never left the screen for a moment. I didn't know Acetone can be stored in plastic bottles. The door now looks like it will last another 200+ years. 👍👍👍

Nice work, Tom. When we put a nice new (fir) door on our old house, I worked with my husband to get exactly the color and finish we wanted, and we’re happy every time we use it or even just look at it. Like a water cooler, a dining table, or a fireplace, the symbolism of the front door of your house is inescapable and vastly important.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thank you! Well said. When we bought this house the front door and entire front yard were a mess, the front door clearly had not been used in sometime. We've got it operational now, it says "Welcome!"

[@maryoconnell3857]

It's so incredible to think about when that door was made!! George Washington died in 1799, and that door could have been made a year or two after that date!! As usual, you have done an exemplary job. Your neighbors are lucky to have you nearby! Still miss your puppy :(
