Door restoration. Adding Height to this Old Pine Door.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 бер 2022
- Thank you for joining me on this one, A similar video to the external door repair video here - • Rotten Door, Full Repa...
I am splicing the Stiles of this door and adding height to both Stiles and the bottom rail. Not as quick as screwing a piece of pine to the door bottom but a much better and correct way to do such a repair. While it may seem a costly thing to do, finding another matching door the right size would take an awful lot more time!

UA-cam!! You can find anything. I've seen so many nice doors that were too short. So I decided to check UA-cam too see if this was possible and here we are😊
haha thanks Toni, its a lot of work but can be done!
Beautiful work 😮
Love the Double Wadkin disclaimer 🤣 🤣 🤣 Amazing work as usual! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Haha! Not going to lie I'm in love 🤣🤣
I could watch your stuff all day every day. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks for another great lesson. Also, thanks for introducing me to PU glue in gun form. I've used bottles of PU before, but there are so many advantages to using it with a gun. I didn't even know it existed in that form until you showed us. Keep up the great videos.
Thankyou Ian, yes "what glue is that" seems to be a common question. I didn't realise it wasn't so well known, and now it's mentioned most seem to use the bottled version which is just the devil's own juice...
Thank you for taking the time with that undersized door . Most people would have chucked it . You properly restored it for many more years of use . It may look like an average pine door but is forever " The Bradshaw door ".
Thankyou, it certainly will be and hopefully live on for many years!
That is some nice work. I'm a new subscriber from Bath, Maine, US. I have been doing carpentry for 47 years.I have done a few jobs like this but not many. You Sir are a real craftsman. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel.
Ive just visited Bath, but the Uk version haha. Thankyou for the Kind words!
I built three of these doors for my old house. When we sold it to flippers we asked it they would use them or throw them away. They let us take them rather than throw them away. I hope that someday someone takes as much care for my doors as you have for this one.
Nice one, What a shame. Im lucky to have clients that appreciate the beautiful things.
Great explanation with lovely workmanship Thanks Ollie
Cheers for that Lester
Skills all over the place. Love watching this…👍👍
Cheers matey
Brilliant repair. I'm inspired to use my new multitool in ways I would not have thought of before. Thanks!
Cheers matey, yes its a great tool!
Great to see how you use even the simplest of jigs and guides to create a perfect looking joint. Thank you.
Cheers Ben!
Amazing talent 😮
Amazing beautiful work! A true craftsman!
Thankyou so much Paul 👍
Perfection at its best I could watch you all day iv learnt so much from your videos thank you 👍👍👍👍
Thankyou Carl 💪🙌
Mate that’s a quality repair love watching your work thanks for posting 👍🏽 so nice to see old doors being restored and used again. 😄
Thankyou Martin! Appreciate it. I love keeping things alive too!
Great job Ollie enjoyed watching. It's good to see alternative methods not seen before. Tony
Cheers Tony! 👍
Lovely fix! Thanks for explaining the reason for the beveled angle on the joint. Makes perfect sense but I'd not have thought of it.
Cheers Wayne! 👍
Love your restoration projects.
Thankyou, they do seem to be very popular 🙌
I had no idea that work of this quality and requiring such skills still happened. Great to watch. All the very best to you.
Tha kyou Norman that's great to hear. All the best to you
It came out so nicely. Thanks.
Cheers Albert!
Great work as usual giving a new lease of life to a classic old panelled pine door u give us lots of tips so it seems fair to reciprocate. To help blend the colourisation of the new pine to the old u can use of all things a tea bag ( I’ve done it many times ) not a soaking wet one a damp one will do it might raise the grain slightly but u can sand it back and u really do have control over the tone with a humble old tea bag not to mention the cuppa whilst working or of course there is the alternative u could call in a french polisher but then the expense creeps up
Very nice to see a quality repair. The door will be good for the next hundred years. Well done. Very informative.
Cheers Jim, hopefully! It will make a nice piece
I’m slowly working through your playlist and as with this post, your work is incredibly well done to a very high standard, which is an absolute credit to you as a tradie who takes pride in his craft and to the satisfaction of the clients expectation. Thanks for all the tips along the way. Take care
Thankyou Gordon, good to hear, I try my best! Thankyou for the kind words
Very nice workmanship!
Cheers Monte
As I said before so nice to see a skill still alive in our throw-away world

Steve UK London
Cheers Steve! Its not cheap which is why it is dying out i guess
I have eight doors of a similar vintage to extend, so this was fantastic! I'm a little light on the Festool gear I'm going to have to beg/borrow/steal from friends and work my Fein.Thanks tons, Andrea
THankyou Andrea, thats brilliant to hear.
What a fantastic video. Both informational and entertaining.
Thankyou Very much!
Great to see that there are still crafrsman how knows to do this kind of restore jobs. Unfortunatly there are less people with this gift and plesure in this work.
Thankyou, yes there are less trained people now, hardly any Proper joinery apprenticeships available or places making proper joinery/mastering the trade.
brings back memories👍👍.jobs like this was what I served my time on, not to forget the best window ever designed the sash n case window, long as the painter didn't paint them shut tho lol, another great video fella cheers Ross
Yes I have a few sash windows at my parents to repair. I made the sashes about 4 years ago 😂 still not got there
Another great video Ollie, a lovely repair job on that door 👌
Thankyou Jason 👌👍
Another great job, great restoration, have a nice day !!!.
Thankyou very Much Brian! Appreciate the support :)
Beautiful work !
Thankyou Joe
I like the way you modified the door.
thanks±!
Great video, very enjoyable thank you !!!!
Cheers Michael
Ottis 😱🎯 the shop dog 👍👍👍 nice job l like to see old stuff repaired and re-purposced give meaning an value in this throw away world. 👍👍👍
Abso friggin lutley! I say the story of a joiner who's repaired and cared for that old door is worth more than the same time spent making a new one... Imo. It's the story that gives things value. And then having a video of the work being done as well... Priceless? 🤣
@@BradshawJoinery 🤔🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Fantastic job proper craftsman
Cheers for that 🙌👍
Beatiful work as always man.
Thanks matey 🙌👍
I say this every Video Ollie...masterclass again...I might even get the opportunity to put this into action one day...Cheers Paul
Haha thankyou for the support Paul! 👌
Hopefully it goes well if you do, it's not all that difficult tbh!
Awesome as always pal!! Keep em coming - Logan
Cheers Logan!
Lovely job the dog part was brilliant
Thankyou Liam! Haha it was about 8pm 🤣
I’d rather have a door like that than a new one! Beautiful work as always
Cheers Michael. Yeah i love the old pine doors too.
Beautiful!
Thankyou Lisa! :)
Lovely job Ollie as always.
Look on Otis face is the same as our dog gives when it is raining!
Cheers Doug, Yeah haha, hed sat there so long he didnt quite believe me when i said walkies
EXCELENTE RESTAURACIÓN .. DIGNA DE UN PROFESIONAL
Thankyou Very much! 👌
I’ve just found you and already I am a fan. It’s so nice to meet a Brit who makes housing joints and not rabbits. I’m so jealous of your Festool kit. Great job 🌞
Cheers Ray. Your subscriber 30001 👍😎
On the way to 40,000. Best wishes 🌞
Great video as always
Cheers Mike 🙌
A nice bit of PROPER woodwork.
Cheers Mark! 👌
Would be fantastic to workalong side some one like yourself, I would learn so much, its another side to.joinery I never get involved in, regretfully realy inspiring.👍 top work as allways.
Cheers Josh, Trouble is there is such a broad spectrum of work, its a good 5-7 years of experience before you get to grips with it all, then you can start mastering it.
Great job Ollie - Otis is cute.
Cheers Mark! Too cute, gets away with all sorts
excellent job
Thanks Jim
Beautiful work, as usual...cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
Thankyou Richard :)
We are running out of superlatives for you Sir! Class 👍
Haha 🤣 seem to be getting some good feedback. Cannot thank you enough
Great video, and the "Hot Fuzz" reference was the icing on the cake 😁😁
Haha Thanks Eve, glad you enjoyed!
Easy with the “walkies” Mr Bradshaw please. My Lab thought he was of for a trot around the block at 2:30 this morning when he heard that word mentioned Lol. Great job as always.
Hahaha brilliant. That made me chuckle!
To oxidize that fresh wood you could try brushing on a potassium peregrinate solution. Should darken it enough to blend in.
Thanks matey, ill remeber that one
As a rot repair specialist it fills my heart with joy to see such a well done job 😊
Thankyou 🙌🙌🙌
great video. Would love to see a little PU glue for dummies video from you. I've never used it but you sing its praises in a lot of your videos so would be great to see a video on the subject
I have been thinking about this. I will endeavour to do one, but time is my enemy currently
Awesome video. Would appreciate a video on how to use that saw. It’s same as the one my builders merchant and local B&Q use.
Thanks Dave, yes a lot of these .odels were in B&Q stores. This came from one, not previous owner but at some point
I love it he owns a track saw usescit, radial arm saw uses it, really nice panel saw and uses it. Do you know how many shops don't use the panel saw anymore or refuse to use a radial arm saw in the USA. Id use all of them tools and a cnc mill if I had it. You've got a nice shop and looks like doors are your thing. Becuse you've got the tools do make short work of it and do a really good job.
Haha no point owning a tool and it not get used! I literally do all sorts, Generally limited by my shop size or if i can handle it on my own lol! Thanks for watching
Another great job Ollie. Nice to use old timber for the repair, seasoned through age so it’s done it’s shrinking. I can see you’re going to cost me money again with the cutter blades this time! 😂
Haha cheers again Simon! The blades are good for the money but nowt special. Cheaper on eBay I think... 😉
The very best blades are festool speed max ones. Incredible them!
@@BradshawJoinery Top notch craftsmanship Sir 👍🔨🇮🇪 Do you know if those Festool osm blades fit a Bosch osm?
The lock will be too high?🤫
Keep up the good work!
JIM 🤩
Haha, Balls! Cheers buddy
Very nice clean repair, to a good old door that deserved it. Always hard to match color tone with old wood, but I expect some careful die work and you could get it closer. Unfortunately that flashing collar on your pup stole the show on ya!
Haha! Thought someone might pick up on that! It slows the traffic when they see blue flashing lights 👌🤣
Yeah I used an antique pine die after and it worked a treat
I would never have given it a thought about making the slope in the wood at the joint to stop the rain from running into it. Good job I’m not any good with woodwork.
Thanks John! Yeah little details like that help, if there was to be movement, it's kind of a failsafe!
No doubt this is going to be an internal door so not likely to have rain on it but I still think the angle cut in makes for a far better professional looking job which somehow makes it look stronger. Great video and a fantastic job. Can you provide a link of the door after it has been waxed and hung.
Incredible. On my current job, I need to repair the bottom of a door where it's been 'fixed' with cardboard and filler! How does YT know what I need to know? Many thanks for sharing in such a timely manner!
Cheers Andrew! Pleased its helped you out
It would be great to see a video ( if you haven't already made one ?) about your Wadkin crosscut saw .Thank you !
Cheers Gary, yeah I filmed getting it in place just need to film the dust extraction alterations and then I'll upload it
For the rail, I think I would have used a dovetail router bit, and set both the interior and top of the edges of both patches to the 14-degree of the router bit. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to do like you did. But it really shouldn’t make a different strength or appearance wise. To widen the style I probably would have made a groove in the bottom of the existing and added a spline. But, again it shouldn’t make much difference in the end. Just a difference of method.
Yeah could do! I'm cautious of old doors and nails so don't use your best router bit. The problem with dovetail bits is you have to guarantee the height of the router doesn't alter when cutting so easy to get a wobble in the edge. The best way is with the track saw set to the depth then finish with the multitool 👍
We used to call it door more😉
Haha! 👌
After stretching it ya put wood hardener on it so it stays put at its new size.
If only that worked with all wood!
Not bad at all.
Thankyou Anthony!
I've got to take the rotten bottom of an old door and replace it with new wood. To avoid it looking like a new board all the way across I'm going to cut a false line into the board to continue down the line where the original joint is.
Yeah thatll work!
Saved another one from the skip .
Absolutely 👌
A great fix and so refreshing to see your commitment to doing a professional job. Can I ask what software you use to produce your drawings?
Thankyou! I use SketchUp, then use Layout to create the 2d drawings
👍👍
Cheers Ted 👍

Cheers van zipper
Thanks for the videos they are amazing they have inspired me to lengthen three doors and the frames. Tech question: what size dominoes did you use on this door 40mmX 8mm or bigger? Many thanks.
thats Awesome to hear! I tend to only use 5 x 30 or 10x50. so they are 10 x 50 i think.
Great work, why waste a good door.
Thankyou Robertt!
I loved this. I am in the States and often travel in the UK. You DO have many shorter doors there. As it happens, a prior owner shortened 8 doors here at my house of comparable vintage. A shame, but I need to correct now that her carpet has been removed. This has been very helpful . Great job, sir!.
A Normal door is 1981mm but many older houses have been reworked etc and doors get trimmed down... very old cottages the doors are really low!
شكراً جزيلاً من أي بلد انت
Not sure on that one, but thanks
What king of clamps are those? they look really good
They are really good tbh.
T bar clamps 56"
ideally you want the Record version but they are frighteningly expensive. Hold God Second hand value though
Can you put a mortice lock through the middle rail on these types of mortice and tennon doors?
Ummmm, ideally no, it take one tenon out if necessary, but ideally not both if can be avoided.
Hello friend👍👀
Hallo!
Thanks for sharing this very interesting little project. Excellent work and very clever use of the multitool.
Just a quick question regarding the blade you use in the plunge saw to perform the rip cut. I've been using thin kerf 24tpi blades, but have found they just don't last very long, tend to wander, and can leave significant burn marks, especially on hardwood doors. Any advice would be appreciated.
Tricky one, but the problem namely lies in the blade quality. Rip cutting wants to be alternate bevel with a positive rake, in a 160mm blade 24 teeth is about right but like you I've always found the 24t blades "tinny" to the ear and struggle to get a nice cut. Id try a higher tooth ATB with a thicker plate if you can find it. My HK 85 rips beautifully with a 2.4mm plate blade. Thick blade and plenty of power will solve your issues but most small track saws aren't capable of it unfortunately. They are designed as panel saws with triple chip blades..
@@BradshawJoinery Thanks for getting back to me! I was using the 36v Makita, but went back to using the 110v corded one. I've got several tracks, and have one set dedicated to the cordless, and the other to the corded.
Yes, I'll definitely be avoiding the thin kerf blades going forward. 👍
Nicely done. Are you going to fill the groove that's in the bottom rail?
Well spotted, it ended up about 7mm deep and there may be a small amount to come off the door so I didn't feel the need to do it! 🥴
May i ask what adhesive you are using for the repair that is dispensed in a caucking gun?
Hi, I've added the links In the description. Wood weld is probably your best bet but the adhesive is called Polyurethane
That’s a lovely job! For a similar era pitch pine external door, what timber do you think would be best for lengthening? It’s going to be painted so doesn’t need to match. Cheers
probably a pine with similar grain cut. Quarter sawn joining to rift sawn will look weird through the paint so the grain orientation will be more crutial than species, aslong as its pine
That’s really useful to know, thanks!
Struggling here a little
Why not replace the entire bottom piece
Repair leftover mortise on both sides or remove the old mortise completely while replacing all of bottom piece
If it was to be painted maybe not but I heard you say it was to be a natural finish
Ty
Just not touching the panel areas saves alot of time, and less timber required. Plus the more of the original left the better, I think it doesn't catch your eye as much
You arse... I can't fit a single CC in my shop and you've got two! Out interest, how much room behind does the arm stick out? Love the video buddy. And a great tip on the starlock - the bosch ones from Screfix are about over a tenner! M.
🤣🤣 I'm not rubbing it in, but then new one is absolutely minty.... Without a full restoration your not gonna get better
Blades are good, they are cheaper on eBay, I just earn a few pence from Amazon hence the link to there 🤣👍
@@BradshawJoinery How far out the back does the arm protrude? I miss my old BRA, but always wanted a CC .
Nice work! Will you bevel the door for hanging or will that be necessary in your case?
Yeah I did, use a 2mm packer to one side of the door and EST planer to cut just under 2mm👍
@@BradshawJoinery Ahh cool, thanks for that. Great content on your site, fair play!!
Which PU glue do you use?
Hi John, this is Wurth but I prefer WoodWeld
Nice work, but... why didn't you fill the slot across the new bottom piece as you said you would?
No I didn't, well spotted 😂, it ended up about 6mm, so I didn't seem it necessary tbh!
Why the wall saw not a sliding table? Is it space or do you prefer them?
Space was the initial reason but for a lot of jobs it's actually better..! I wouldn't be without it now!
@@BradshawJoinery wow that’s really interesting, I suppose the only major downside is it is not as ergonomic as you are not above the workpiece? You sort of have to bend down a lot? From recently watching your videos though I had no idea how versatile they can be!
Gotta get myself a festool tracksaw, my evolution doesn't compare. You might say it doesn't cut it
They are real nice to use. I think the latest model with the thinner blade has sorted out the underpowered nature some didn't like about the ts55. I've always got on well with it
Could you do similar process if you needed to add to the width? Ex. an interior barn door design
Yeah, adding width is easy as it's a straight join allt the way with the grain of the Stiles
@@BradshawJoinery Thank you!!!
Just watched the shipping container episode. What was it for? Just storage?
It's to store timber about to be used and completed jobs in an acclimated environment before installation. It's made a massive difference to the quality of my finished work after installation I get absolutely minimal movement from the timber.
@@BradshawJoinery yeah just saw the other episode. How much did it cost total??
About £6k I think, £2150 for container, same for insulation then some electrics and the OSB/battens. Would be alot more now 🤣
Hi, I have an old door 32 inch x 80 inch) that I want to use in a 36 inch x 81 inch opening. I need to add material to its width and height. I was hoping to poly it to show off the wood rather than painting it to cover the patch. How can I do it so the door looks good after I apply the poly?
try to keep the grain in the same orientation as it is. i.e dont add a batten on the bottom under the end grain. adding 4" to the width is alot! it may look bulky on the stiles
@@BradshawJoinery we had the idea to make a picture frame (miter the corners) around the door. Do you think this would work?
@@koolaid11289 it will work but may look a little DIY! Mitres will be tricky to make work when fitting the door too. I would keep the Stiles one full length top to bottom whatever you do
That’s your option on those key blades?
What's my opinion?
Cheap and ok. The Festool blades are actually very good for the price I think so for best work get them.
Sthele version is probably the best
Got to ask, why didn’t you just shorten the styles a little more and then replace the bottom rail in its entirety?
If it's not broke don't fix it. Structural integrity.
Possibly didn't have any old matching wood?
JIM
Having some remaining joint leaves strength in the original door and I don't have to worry about panel grooves etc, I also didn't need wide timber for this repair and s full bottom rail in old pine is hard to find. So in short, it's less work this way, stronger and the materials were available 👍
I have a door that needs renovating and making wider. Would you be able to help me please?
Hi Caroline, Unfortunately i have so much work local to me (and youtube) i am not taking on any orders currently.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
