At the Single House, the columns on the first floor piazza may be as old as the house. They also need a lot of work. Kevin visits the millwork shop in North Charleston where the columns are restored.
The homeowners have settled on a design for the iron gate for their driveway.
Tommy meets with a student who designed the gate and watches the beginning of its construction. Students Joe Whisonant and Kaelyn Robinson are learning the old-world craft of blacksmithing at the American College of the Building Arts. Kevin sits down with both of them to learn why they chose to go into that trade.
It's time to select some finishes for the Single House. Kevin joins homeowner Kathleen and lighting designer Ali Sherrill as they discuss lighting fixtures and ceiling fans.
Across town, much of the siding on the Elliotborough house has taken a beating and has to be removed and replaced with matching new siding that's pressure-treated and primed. Tommy shows how to salvage the good original siding so it can later be weaved in with the new siding.

My favorite part was the metal work. That is some impressive skill.
Those smiting students clearly love their craft and found a great opportunity to turn it into a career.
It’s really the classic plumber’s lament
The moneys in the detail...
There’s already rot going on in that trunk!
@@Kevin-mp5of ugh the smell just changed...
@@Kevin-mp5of r u picking up what we’re putting down? These r all quotes from the episode introduction. Listen to the first 45 seconds or so
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, been watching since the beginning, you've branched out 2 many things but stayed true 2 the fundamentals, thanks, black smithing and wood working 2 true old trades, very similar 2 mine, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Woo! love the full episodes yall guys do especially restoration projects love *ASK THIS OLD HOUSE 👍*
i don't know if this smith is strictly a student or getting paid or what but to think a reg company or person manufacturing that gate, if the time frames were similar for the build it would be about 10 grand for that gate. 2 months to build at 8 hours a day and a wage of 15 an hour, tack on the iron cost, design fee and profit . Yikes
I worked at Colonial Williamsburg, VA in the crafts department back in the 1980s. There was a female blacksmith there at the time. Her name was Kelly as I recall. There was historical evidence to support having a woman blacksmith and its good to see that at least one more woman has taken up the trade.
That's awesome, my dad was a luthier in colonial Williamsburg around that time. I really want to visit again
Jesus Christ there were so many "That's what she said" moments when he interviewed the two metal workers. 😂
Love the iron work and watching them repair the columns! I felt like they cut a bit too much off the columns but then again with out actually being there it's hard to actually say but either way Great job!
Totally agree. That was wonderful to see 👏
Another wonderful episode
Not that I don't appreciate the fine art of metal forming and fabricating but they have scroll machines that do that now and the anvils that would bend them
6:03 , that money shot ^___^)
Awesome!
"Howaboutthediningroomperfectletsgo."
Miss Molly loves TOH !!
Give her the old gundy mama!!!
Roger does décor...lol
Gotta be a 10k gate
I wonder what the "electric bill" is in the lighting fixture showroom...
Did the old columns get tested for lead before sanding and grinding?
They are made of wood actually.
Boards of architectural review = Self important, unelected, wastes of airspace.
So the kitchen doesn't get a lot of light, and there aren't a lot of windows, so let's cover the walls with black cabinets. SMH.
Its Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!!!!!!!!
What/Who is the Charleston BAR? Thanks!
I think it is the Board of Architectural Review from the city to ensure that most of the stuff is salvage and that constructions and remodels adhere to the old style of the houses.
Must be hard for Tommy not to be able to actually work on the house this time. It looks like it must be all local workers doing the work and Tommy just gets to add an explanation or a piece of advice once in awhile. He hasn't even picked up a hammer on this house.
Definitely prefers doing the work. He always looks happiest when framing.
The projects are in Charleston South Carolina. Tommy is probably there for only a few days at a time.
Filler instead of Bondo
Bondo is a polyester resin. They were using epoxy resin with colloidal silica and either micro-balloons or wood flour to thicken it to filler consistency. They used colloidal silica in the bonding epoxy because it was white and epoxy is clear. You use the silica because it thickens the epoxy so it doesn't penetrate the wood as far preventing the joint from being glue-starved, and it will also make the final joint stronger. Nice try at looking like you know what you're talking about...
It's a shame to do such modern design in a house like this.
Wouldn't it be more easier just to replace the columns instead of repairing the old heap?
Yes but you have to follow historical society (like homeowners association) rules.
They literally answered this in the episode.
At 10:55, the kid is asked, "How long to make this"? A Chinese manufacturer hears his answer, and then, almost has a heart attack from laughing!
That guy at the end better get his hands out of his pockets and get to nailing. That house isn’t going to side itself...
@@Kevin-mp5of legend has it that the house still remains non sided.
Psst Psst...Anyone else notice the price of lumber lately?? It's doubled.....
Pssssst. . . Hey. . . Very soon high lumber prices won't really be a worry. . .ultra-hyper inflation, instituted by the PedoElite will take over every world economy, and put all but the world's richest in chains. .So we got that going for us.
@@jeffwilson1399yep
Lumber futures have been dropping but new construction and existing home sales have been booming hence the higher prices,
@@borys444 so not from inflation ?
@@Kevin-mp5of Even dying!
You don’t have to heat up the iron to make those motifs; unskilled blacksmiths in India, makes templates for them and use a twist rod to make them in a couple hours for the whole gate. That 5X6’ gate takes them probably a week to build.
lol, nothing in India is built to last more than 10 years, thats why they can use thin chinese steel and bend it in India for a gate. The US blacksmiths have more experience working with quality materials
@@updatemysettings5095 what do you know about it? You’ve never left your border
@@aaqilian5.085 buddy, I have been from Colombo to Manila, Moscow to Muscat, and every Indian I know from the ones I went to college with who live in Mumbai, to the ones who moved to Switzerland from Kerala, will tell you that things in India are built cheaply. The food is better quality, but the metal isn't.
This is a repeat from yrs ago, why they putting it back out like its new?
love seeing people operate chainsaws with the absolute bare minimum of protective gear, just some eyewear and earplugs is all you need...
If the wood splits its trash new is always better
time for a new host
A porch is a porch no matter where you are...if you speak english it's a porch in MA, it's a porch in SC, it's a porch in TX, WA, NY, and everywhere else. You don't call it something different just because you flew a few hundred miles to a different state. And the people of South Carolina also use the word "PORCH". You're not in frggin' Italy.
Iht's prohnauhnced Poahch. 🦞🦞🦞
I simply cannot stand a man who stands around with his hands in his pockets the way the kid at the end of the video was doing on the front porch!
