Your wife has the patience of a saint waiting for that house to get finished ! But the business has to also keep running. Great work as usual and a few pro tips passed on
And I considered myself lucky if my former boyfriend took out the garbage! 😂 The sheets of MDF sat in the closet waiting to be transformed into bookcases for my book collection for about oh, five years? Rumour has it they’re still sitting there. I wouldn’t know. I grew tired of the empty promises and made my own bookcases, in another place.
I dread to think of the number of those sun ray doors I have thrown in skips over the years. I have not seen one for quite a while though. I wish I had had the space to keep some of the doors I have changed for customers over my career, there were some really great designs and quality back in the day. You did your usual thorough job and the door looks great, just tell your girls to be careful as it isn't safety glass. A tip on the paint cans is that if you make sure the lid is on tight and store them upside down then it can't form a skin, as the air can't get to it. Only works for solvent based paints obviously. Thanks for sharing.
Old doors are business these days , in Amsterdam there are lots of doors thrown away , and there is a big Seller of old doors . I dont have the space to but once in awhile i pick one up to the fourth floor with no elevator and make a dressoir or a kabinet from them
This is the show to watch when you want to feel like you can accomplish anything if you work hard enough , but need a hit of reality check; because you know you don't have this level of patience or skill. I love your work! Thanks for sharing and I hope you get more subscribers because you certainly deserve them.
I hate watching this guy. In the field of workmanship, he's beyond super human. 😇 A previous poster mentioned no music, no talking, and for me, this truly is a bonus. The level of skill & expertise speaks for itself. I loved the ingenuity of the self-made beading tool. Another epic watch.
I'm genuinely surprised that you didn't have an appropriate router bit in your possession to cut the missing bit of beading so you were forced to violate a defenceless old saw for raw materials in order to manufacture a profile cutter with your own hands. Fab work in everything you touch as usual. Bless you all.
Everything you make, Russ, looks amazing. That door is gorgeous and thank you for the view out the kitchen window. The back garden still looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing your upgrades with us all.
Just out of interest, I had the same problem with oil based gloss, as everyone does, and tried using a plastic bag within the tin with a 10mm cable tie to push it out to the circumference of the tin to reduce the air in contact with surface of the paint, so it wouldn't form the thick skin that causes quite a lot of loss. If you can get the surface of the paint fully in contact with plastic and then close the lid, you'll minimise loss considerably. Also, the catch that you fitted to the doorframe, could be bent in a vice to give an angle to the section that the door catch will scrape against as it's closing. You might find it sticks out less and you don't catch clothes on it or whatever you're carrying through - failing that a few light taps with a hammer could bend it away from the door without too much trouble though you might need to nibble a bit away behind it with a chisel to give it space to bend into.
Good morning. I enjoy watching your videos. The workshop is particularly interesting for it is not sanitize like most. The other workshop are so cleanl , like there’s no work going on.
As always . . . Another marvelous job, something to be proud of. I wish you could turn out more of these renovation vids, I so look forward to seeing them as and when. Thanks again for posting.
It's interesting design aesthetic's. I know that the door is intently built but it just seems it would be happier with the sun rays shining down, I flipped my laptop over and thought yes that looks more pleasing to me. 100% just my opinion/taste.I just converted a couple of 100 year old double hung windows to in-swing this week for my new shop and probably removed a kilo of caulk and putty but have to admit I didn't take it to a scotch bright finish ! LOL.Closing in on 300K hit the subscribe button folks.
Wonderful workmanship, patience and attention to detail as usual. A couple of comments: The closing side of the door frame looks as if it could do with some attention. Would the glass have been safety glass back in 1971? Just thinking of your nippers.
Beautiful result. Thanks for sharing! Saw a vid recently about these hyper-expensive OMA valve amps (using slate top plates) and I thought: naaah, NYW would've made them prettier.
2:34 - I'm wondering how many viewers are getting that 'fingernails down a blackboard' reaction about now 🤣 Anyway, back to the video lol 19:59 - I totally agree, that paint was incredibly 'thick-skinned' 😆
Quality .... Nice To See A Video From You Chap ... This IS A G00D WeekEnd ... CEE Australia .. Fridays ... NYW Saturday ... Snowball Engineering Sunday ... HappY DaYs ... Thank You Kindly For Shraring ... peace
The only thing i would've done different, because the door's old, is i would've rabbited the top and bottom to glue in an oak T-back inside. On the principle of "in for a penny, in for a pound". These doors, once they get old, they start moving, and once they start moving, you have to take them apart to fix them and it's a pain in the tea biscuit. edit: FYI, if your paint has "hardened" up top, you've lost a few of the elements that make it dry and stand up to time. TO not have that issue, it's a good practice to simply turn your cans of paint upside down, then right side up once per month. That way, they don't harden, even if you've opened them and only have a small amount on the bottom. Also, transferring a large can, nearly all used into to a cleaned older, but smaller can is a good practice too, less air. Peak of the trade, CO2 or Argon dumped inside before you seal the can will make it last even longer (tho some paints will harden to CO2, so you have to know which is which). I've a few cans of touch up paint for specific items in the house and that's how i've kept them usable for a couple of decades in some cases.
Viewing tips: Set the playback speed to 1.25 to account for the 53 year time difference. You won't miss any of the jokes. And turn the volume waaaaay down when he brings out the carbide scraper!
I'm just a bit sad you didn't restore and reuse the original handles and lock, but I loved the saw plate scratch stock, can't get much more fitting than that. I agree with others here that it's probably douglas fir, and maybe older than the 70's but who knows. maybe someone did what you've done back then? wonder if the seed was shoved in when the key was lost, or the key was lost cause it wouldn't fit in the keyhole cause of the seed?
Wow, September the 4th is my birthday, i was born Thursday September 4th 1969, the same day as my parents wedding anniversary which was September 4th 1965. I love finding old newspapers on jobs.
"How many paint layers would you say, Red Five?" "I'd say about twenty layers, some on the surface, others, well, also on the surface." Oh, no, now my brains on a run... "Switch your carbide scrapers to double-front, and watch for enemy splinters!" "That paint's too thick for stripper, use your scraper and brute force, it might be our only way of stripping it..." "Carbide scraper. It's only use is for the bold. The DIY enthusiasts won't sit still for this, when they hear you're restoring a door..." "Don't play games with me, Princess, we're not restoring some interior hollow door this time, this is a solid wood fully glazed partition..." "Cordless Ryobi, years ago you sanded my sideboard during the bedroom build, now, I hope you're still charged for this door."
Hah! Did you send the girls to your mothers for a few days to get the inside fitting and painting done? Lol. Lovely chisel work my friend. That wood looks very similar to Douglas fir over here in the colonies. Nicely done job and video work. Finally where would one find that specialty took for scraping the paint off of the mullions. 😉
I have old paint that can take a few insults LOL. It's hard to throw it out. I was thinking ( yes it hurts). Why not paint stripper in the first instance rather than risking cracking the glass? The past three year old did such a good job, you could have got your daughter 'Tiff', to do the new paint job as a comparison 🤣🤣. Thanks Rus
love the special tool used to scrape the paint off. Can ya tell the many minions how you made that tool or where you purchased it.. Them minions don't know the name of the special tool... :) thank you maestro..
Three things I love about your videos. No music, no talking and the perfectism.
A NYW video pops up, I immediately click like and settle in for an enjoyable time. It’s that simple.
can confirm, the guy just vibes
Silent education and comedy in one video - always worth watching - THANK YOU
Hurray, a new video! 😀👏👍
Exactly 😂
That carbide scraper noise is delightful... reminds me of nails on chalkboard
I had to turn the volume down haha
😂
Another great job. These doors are actually called “Sunrise” Doors!
They take me back to my childhood.

All it takes is ONE can not perfectly sealed to put an end to THAT bad idea.

Lovely job! 2 points... One can never, ever have enough clamps, and it's great to see the kitchen blackboard getting a good workout
Your attention to detail is epic.
A labour of love . So much skill and a good thing you have lots of clamps😊

Bless you all.
Unbelievably beautiful project to watch. Almost therapeutic. 👍👍👍
I love watching you work, it's gratifying to see craftsmanship still exists. Thank you.
I know that feeling of hours of work then flipping over and realising you have to do the same again
ah Yorkshire men,never throw out anything ! great stuff !
Everything you make, Russ, looks amazing. That door is gorgeous and thank you for the view out the kitchen window. The back garden still looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing your upgrades with us all.
Dental tools are good for getting paint out of awkward areas.
Always a pleasure to watch you work 🎉
Proper job! Love this vintage door
Love your videos!
Allways a joy to watch true craftsmanship👌

Nice work but I've always seen doors with this pattern hung the other way up which makes sense as the sun is above us and its light shines down.
But, when the sun rises or sets is when you get the rays....
0:08 at least it is the same way up as it was
i thought so too, so i watched from the beginning again and it was hung the same way. I suppose it's personal preference.
For me, a rising sun signifies a new day, and the future. A setting sun signifies the passing of time.
Good morning. I enjoy watching your videos. The workshop is particularly interesting for it is not sanitize like most. The other workshop are so cleanl , like there’s no work going on.
Great job, maybe consider safety film on the glass, especially with the kids. Stick it on the smooth side of the glass, you won't even notice it.
As always . . . Another marvelous job, something to be proud of. I wish you could turn out more of these renovation vids, I so look forward to seeing them as and when. Thanks again for posting.
YOU ARE A BRAVE MAN! to use the planer in the kitchen 😂
I needed an excuse to continue sitting and have another coffee. Thanks.
I know the feeling of restoring doors and windows with multiple layers of paint
Man strips a door, man paints a door, man fits a door...... and I watched it all in x1 speed. Lovely job.
I remember those doors we had a few. Hated that glass though. Great job.
It's interesting design aesthetic's.

Great project. But was lol at the 3 year comments! I feel the 3 year old touched a nerve with you! 😂
Great channel btw. Thank you.
Vice confusion was funny😅
Wonderful workmanship, patience and attention to detail as usual.
A couple of comments:
The closing side of the door frame looks as if it could do with some attention.
Would the glass have been safety glass back in 1971? Just thinking of your nippers.
My day was made with the aspect ratio joke!! Bloomin larfed!
what a professional job.... thank you
Beautiful result. Thanks for sharing!
Saw a vid recently about these hyper-expensive OMA valve amps (using slate top plates) and I thought: naaah, NYW would've made them prettier.
You have a lot of patience ,most of us would of binned the door and bought a new one at the thought of all that work
Relentless precision.
Top tip, unscrew the plates, handles etc when painting, so much easier.
2:34 - I'm wondering how many viewers are getting that 'fingernails down a blackboard' reaction about now 🤣
Anyway, back to the video lol
19:59 - I totally agree, that paint was incredibly 'thick-skinned' 😆
Masterful…..and amusing 😊
Whoopee, always love to see a NYW video
As always a joy. to watch
Plant that seas! It would be interesting to see what grows
looks like a cherry to me, but only time will tell!
It’s a door seed , it’ll grow more doors presumably 🤔🍻
Toujours content de voir vos vidéos merci🤩👍👏🙏
Avant de peindre, placez de la bande cache sur le verre, cela évitera pas mal de nettoyage... 😉 Et félicitations pour toutes vos réalisations !👏
That does not work on ripple glass, sadly
Beautiful, definitely a keeper. The handles are really cool.
Oh. I see you went with pound shop hardware instead. Cool cool.
I love it well done.👍👍👍👍
Quality .... Nice To See A Video From You Chap ... This IS A G00D WeekEnd ... CEE Australia .. Fridays ... NYW Saturday ... Snowball Engineering Sunday ... HappY DaYs ... Thank You Kindly For Shraring ...
peace
You are so clever 😊
Fighting the urge to fast forward just to how amazing he makes it , then going back to the start to watch the whole thing 😂
first choice every time! most awesomest videos right here!!
What a Labour of Love that was Just like everything else you do ✊
Great video, have to admit I thought you might have replaced the glass with a funky engraved acrylic, but with time and patience it came out great :)

I've a few cans of touch up paint for specific items in the house and that's how i've kept them usable for a couple of decades in some cases.
Add this is why woodworkers like slot headed screws
Looking good.
Lot of work but worth it 😊😊
Beautifully done!
13:54 Unexpected huge laugh of the day. I'm going to be enjoying that one for a while. 😀
Nice job as usual, I don’t use that old lead paint anymore, p.s that blackboard looks a mess. BTW I like the choice of screws for the handle
super bravo pour le travail.
Viewing tips: Set the playback speed to 1.25 to account for the 53 year time difference. You won't miss any of the jokes. And turn the volume waaaaay down when he brings out the carbide scraper!
I’d recommend you store your paint cans upside down so air doesn’t get into them and it keeps it fresh every time you open them
All it takes is ONE can not perfectly sealed to put an end to THAT bad idea.
Wow, I was born the Saturday after that newspaper.
5:09 A very special tool indeed :D
Nice job
That door is as old as I am.
But the styling is very mid 30's Art Deco.
Very nice
Very impressive indeed
I'm just a bit sad you didn't restore and reuse the original handles and lock, but I loved the saw plate scratch stock, can't get much more fitting than that. I agree with others here that it's probably douglas fir, and maybe older than the 70's but who knows. maybe someone did what you've done back then? wonder if the seed was shoved in when the key was lost, or the key was lost cause it wouldn't fit in the keyhole cause of the seed?

wow nice job.
I'm surprised that you didn't dismantle the door and replace the glass with one of your wonderful etching
good job!
Do they do a left handed version of the special bead scraping tool?
Hah! Did you send the girls to your mothers for a few days to get the inside fitting and painting done? Lol. Lovely chisel work my friend. That wood looks very similar to Douglas fir over here in the colonies. Nicely done job and video work. Finally where would one find that specialty took for scraping the paint off of the mullions. 😉
That magic ingredient, elbow grease
Dude is a wizzard ... with everything.
I must be getting old, that thick skin joke about the paint took me too long to get :D
I have old paint that can take a few insults LOL. It's hard to throw it out. I was thinking ( yes it hurts). Why not paint stripper in the first instance rather than risking cracking the glass? The past three year old did such a good job, you could have got your daughter 'Tiff', to do the new paint job as a comparison 🤣🤣. Thanks Rus
oof, that scraper is like fingernails down a blackboard!
05:10 is that 'special tool' an old screwdriver? 😆
Love your channel! The door is upside down?? The sun goes at the top. The rays come down not up :0. Regards from Texas
Don't break the glass! Large Hammered , it's called.Large pieces are rarer and rarer each year.
"The door was too narrow and too tall, unlike..." :D
it's maybe bold to install a door with such big glass pieces (with irregular forms) in an house with small kids 🤔
Do you not worry about lead in paint in Yorkshire? It's in nearly all old (especially in multilayer) paint jobs in the US.
love the special tool used to scrape the paint off. Can ya tell the many minions how you made that tool or where you purchased it.. Them minions don't know the name of the special tool... :) thank you maestro..
‘Special tool’ 🤣🤣
