Hi I am a new subscriber just subscriber after watching this video I have always hated wood work my late father loved it he was always messing a round making small back garding gates etc I have really enjoyed your video watching it helps people it can save anyone e lots of money on repaired watching you learns us all that you can have a go well done to you sir for sharing your videos I will pass your details of this chanel to my friends great video 😊😊😊 Phil in stoke
I have similar jobs to do on my house I have 2 back hardwood doors which are rotten. I've been putting it off for a while but now Ive watched your video it's motivated me to get it done.
There is a reason that outside doors swing inward. This puts the hinge pin inside the locked area so you can't just pop the pin out and open the locked door from outside. Most bedroom and bathroom doors in the US also swing inward.
Most hinges in the UK aren't actually very easy to take the pins out. It's fairly common on newer houses for the main doors to open outwards, apparently something about making it faster to get out in an emergency
@@nathanlucas6465 most residential entrance doors in the UK open inwards. It’s for safety. As it’s easier to stop someone trying to force their way in, with a foot or a shoulder behind the door, than it is to try to use one hand, on a flimsy handle, as they’re trying to yank it open. Fire escape doors that open outward are for public buildings, where users can’t receive training on door operation in the event of an emergency. Eg a library,.
@@essentialhandyman traditionally yes, doors opened inwards. Much more sensible to my mind. But lots of new built houses have started having outward opening doors
Great job. Good to help the MIL. Another two hour job that only took four and a half hours. Not counting loading and unloading the truck and painting. Done a few of those myself. Nice video.
Looked a tidy enough job.Like you said at the beginning of the video you didnt want to spend any money on it.I am all for upcycling.Certainley looks 100% improvement on what was there.👍
Great video. One thing I saw is that door hangers plane the edge with a slight bevel to account for the swing when fitting the door. Surprisingly your “spare” door was repurposed in a great way! Always like how you do that. I hope you also repurpose that glass. Prob antique glass. Thanks for sharing.
Nicely done Sir, that said I'd strongly advise wearing gloves especially when handling glass. Extend your trigger finger down the handle of your saw, it gives one much better control.
Good work and satisfyingly 100% better than the original. I’m with you on the fact that every job has to be horses for courses rather than a work of art in itself. Form follows function!
Is that a little table saw with a proper fence!? first time I've seen it, it's always the fence that lets down cheap/portable saws but that one looks great.
Don't think I would be able to tackle a job like that, I don't have a Milwaukee tool box to help me out :-) Love the way you use what's available as far too much good wood is just thrown away these days and for a Garage Door it doesn't have to be new, just weather proof and secure.
I enjoyed it. Thank you. Just curious if the two bottom threshold boards would do better over time, if you had used glue between them to keep water from getting in-between their connection with one another?
Correct, but how else could it be fixed in place? I don't see any other option. Besides, the timber can be easily swapped out in future if it rots through capillary action via the screws, but I think it'll be fine
@@RagnBoneBrown Putting silicone into the holes before you screwed the screws in may have helped, but usually drilling through the DPC is a no no (ok its only a garage door)
I don’t want to sound negative but you’re gonna have problems with the new cill. Cills extend past the outer leaf, are chamfered and have a rebated drip underneath for a reason. Now any rainwater will not be discharged away from the door and will sit on top of the DPC, which is impermeable and will make the jambs and new cill rot or worse, track back into the garage. Ideally you need to install a new one piece cill, rebated to act as a door stop, chamfered down at the front, with a drip underneath, to stop capillary attraction.
@@RagnBoneBrown Water running down the front of the door will be deflected away by the sill on the bottom of the door, but any water running down the side frames might well collect on the top of the new threshold from either side, and possibly penetrate the gap between the two halves. Having said that, as a temporary fix in a non-critical area this will probably go years before any follow-up repairs are needed. Enjoyed the video :)
@@RagnBoneBrown I have a rather nice Victorian dresser which I have salvaged, but it has quite a lot of woodworm. Thank you for suggesting Sika, I shall have a look at their products!
How else could it be fixed in place? I don't see any other option. Besides, the timber can be easily swapped out in future if it rots through capillary action via the screws, but I think it'll be fine
That DPC is not above splash height anyway so it makes no real differance and the fact that the flowerbeds seem to have clay piled against the wall higher than the DPC would also render the DPC less than optimal.
Earning more good son-in-law points! Hope you’ll at least get a nice meal or a good bottle at the end. 🙂 🥃 Another great project showcasing your cache of useful second hand pieces along with your problem solving skills. Well done. 👍

A £0.00 door in replacement of an old rotten one is always a welcome bargain. I have never made a softwood threshold myself but with some good paint I suppose it could work okay and if it doesn't get much wear it should last at least 10 years I suppose. I bet your MIL is happy.

Great job, I like these kind of videos, they are very helpful to regular people.
Nice of you to help your in-laws.
Great video. I'd be looking for the source of the water to minimise revisits to the inlaws. Guttering above the door? Dainage on the slab?
save the sign, its where you came from! memories in 20yrs time. luv your work by the way
Great job, Keith. The door looks very nice. Taking good care of your mother-in-law is a wise investment.

Please do a review of the Rifter from the handyman perspective.
I knew you'd be able to repair it and I think it's a pretty good job.

Thanks. I think the door sill will prevent any water getting in between the boards
Great video.
Would love to see a one off video for your new Rifter… length of wood you can carry etc.
Thanks, might do something like that in future
Awesome pragmatical job !!
Major brownie points! Good work, that man.

Can I ask what model table saw you used on this project please?
if you still have it, give the old sign to one of your Patreons!
Great idea to retrieve the sign and gift it.
Exactly what I was going to say! 👍🏽
Really? I'll see if I can find it in the burn pile and send it to you if you really want it! I think there's an apostrophe missing tho! 🤣
@@RagnBoneBrown - name out of a hat time if you can find it :) .. we'll let you off on the grammar front, this time!

How did the outside hinges hold up without any awning?

Hi Keith, which brand of woodworm treatment do you recommend? Thanks.
I've used all sorts over the years, but the Sika stuff should be a good shout for reliability as they make great stuff
@@RagnBoneBrown I have a rather nice Victorian dresser which I have salvaged, but it has quite a lot of woodworm. Thank you for suggesting Sika, I shall have a look at their products!

A freebie job and I didn’t see one cuppa!

I wonder if the sill rotted because water was able to wick up through the moss on the little walls either side of the door.
