I watch a lot of build videos on youtube, but I don't think I've ever sat through a full 50 minute video without skipping any bits. Very good job on the repair. Impressive.
I searched how to repair a wooden bow door on a Narrowboat! Your video popped up and I was hooked! Even paused so I didn’t miss a bit when making a coffee! You can tell you love your job. I wish I had your skills 😊 now back to how do I repair my bow door! lol!
I spent 95% of my working life making reproduction dining chairs, Hepplewhite and Chippendale styles. I still do the occasional odd jobs, and there are so many bodged jobs and cowboys out there. But you are the real deal. Pleasure to watch your approach, planning and execution. Great to see such a comprehensive workshop and some one who knows how to use it, could almost smell the wood. Your client was, I hope, highly delighted with your efforts. Well done, first class job.
Maybe some were cowboys but maybe some were just practical amateurs having a go. Done a few DIY jobs myself that look ok from a distance but what a tradesman would tut and shake his head at. Most still did the job and got it fixed until I could afford to get it done professionally.
@@spenny6222 Here your better off doing it yourself. A lot of so called pros cant hit the head of a nail with a sldge hammer. I can drive a 16 penny in with 3 swings and set it flush. Not many guys can do that anymore its all about power tools. I've seen stuff done on my 1990s house that every trade dropped the stupid ball on. Some of it shouldn't have passed codes inspection andvorvits not just crappy craftsmanship but stright up mistakes they let slide. Yep you want good work youve got to do it yourself.
I'm very proud to say I am a man of the same cloth as yourself. Blowing my trumpet and yours your work is out standing I did a lot of repro and repair for listed buildings . And I must say watching you work is an absolute pleasure. The quality and approach you take to your carpentry is an absolute credit to you sir. Very well done.
Thanks for that, it always means a lot coming from someone of experience! 😊 I've done a fair bit of repair work now, it's deffo not my main stay of work, made s few very nice repairs of sash bay windows in the past !
@@mrfarts5176 Tricoya is amazing stuff. Skillbuilder did a thing where is was submerged in water for a few weeks and still came up fine. Mind you it’s also an amazing price.
@@tonyalways7174 I looked it up. People make planters out of this stuff and it holds up fine. I stand corrected. I wish this stuff was solld in my country. Every piece of mdf in Mexico swells withing hours of being installed.
This type of restoration was always my favourite over the past 50 years. Having said that, I am still quite in awe of your skills, efficient layout, and tool fluency, to say nothing of the extraordinarily well adapted tooling manifesting a tremendous amount of thoughtful preparation of the work space, both in the shop and in the field. Yikes, the overhead! Very little appreciation for this quality of work in the US, at least in my little backwater. I was thoroughly entertained and so impressed with the efficiency. I learned a lot I’ll sadly never have the opportunity to apply.
Hi Christopher, thankyou for that, your too kind, yes the logistics and preperation required to carry out such a task is lost on most people here and many such things would be overlooked. To a passer by i'd look like some old boy fiddling about with an old door and not given a second thought haha!
Thanks for the inspiration! I just made a replacement bottom rail for our 81-year-old door. I don't have sizable machine tools in my current workshop, so I cut the tenons and the top channel on the table saw and used a chisel and a hand plane for the fine work. It took a while, but not longer than going to get bigger tooling that I won't use in the future. I'm happy enough that the door is solid again and functions normally. I was a bit intimidated by the project until seeing this video of yours. Much appreciated!
Cheers Richard, its good to hear! Always nerve racking posting something youve done wondering if it will be well recieved. I appreciate the media quality isnt great yet, but the content hopefully is good!
Wow ! What a great job . Bet it lasts a 100 years . Your tutor must be very proud. New subscriber now . Retired Firefighter From Toronto Ontario Canada.
Cheers Mike, I could never do anythign good enough for the boss i had as an apprentice. If it was perfect it was too slow... all while he sat on the computer watching movies and the business failed. I learnt a great deal there but most of the refinement and what i am showing is learned through education from compaines or development myself.
That is an amazing restoration of good old solid wooden door that will be good for another 50 years. The customer must have been well pleased with the results. A very satisfying watch of a skilled tradesman at work.
Hi James, thankyou for such a good comment. It really helps encourage me to work on more videos. Yeah the client is tickled pink and now its painted it looks as god as a new door.
A great video showing step by step the refurbishment process. It was also great to see the various workshop power tools in use - the average DIY'er like myself does get to see these expensive machines in use. Thank you for a most enjoyable video. 👌
Holy hell. I just happened upon this video and I just love the job you've done here, especially the incredible skill shown with the multi tool. Repair it don't bin it. Good job!
As a painter the one of the things I do when doing small repairs is to prime and coat the entire bottom edge of the frame repair to prevent rain water from wicking up the frame to prevent rot and insect infestation.
A lot more work went into that than I thought but well worth wile. Pleased to see the house owner didn’t just say replace it as so many do nowadays. I’ve got a few friends who are joiners and kitchen fitters and they good money so if anyone who watching this and want a career after finishing school there you go.
Worked for Decorating Company for 20 yrs used to do these jobs no workshop just a pair stools circular saw ,sander ,planer & hand tools .We used grip fill to glue up very full filling work .Miss it never 2jobs the same.
This is my new favourite carpentry channel. I'm "ok" at woodwork & love to learn more about it - but this gives me ideas I'd never have thought - things like angling the cuts at 45 degrees to help support the door frame. I think a lot of content creators walked away from doing long & detailed videos on UA-cam due to the algorithm, which is a shame as this is how a lot of us learn.
Hi, thankyou so much! It really makes the effort of making the videos worthwhile hearing such feedback! Yes its difficult to put long info videos out when youtube really promoted short, clickbait content. Thankyou so much.
Cool to watch. Great workshop - envious ! Not entirely sure most customers would have a clue what goes into such an extensive repair or the skill involved and therefore the justifiable cost !
Great job, Bradford. Here in the Seattle area as one who deeply admires and is thankful for our British cousins, and also in process of a remodel of a 100 year-old house myself. Inspiring. Helpful. Talented. Wish I had you!
My Father was a boat builder - building & repairing MTB’s during the war. He did a similar repair on my elderly & rotten garage door. He did a ‘scarf’ joint on the frame and used only hand tools for the whole repair. It looked amazing when he’d finished it. I wanted to be a boat builder on leaving school. He talked me out of it as he thought fibre glass boats had finished the trade off. You did a brilliant job on your door and frame!
haha yes James! they seem to have took off now. I remeber where i did my apprenticeship in 2007, they had a fein multitool in the workshop, that looked years old, so i dont think they are a new invention.
@@BradshawJoinery I use an AEG battery multitool and in my opinion they are one of the best because of all the different heads that can be attached to them. I've had mine for about 8 years and it's still going strong.
Yes paid the bill and really chuffed to preserve a piece of history, And have a very nice restored door! I walk my dog past it everyday so i had to do a good job really haha!
Absolutely stunning! Tools, tools! Festool envy! I would love this vid to be used as a basis for a talk-over with comparative tools that would have been used 50, 100, 150 (?)... years ago.
You are a fantastic craftsman , with unbelievable skills . and to make a vid of your work is great . You are a talented young man .The world needs more people like you . Thank you for sharing your adventure .
Outstanding workmanship. Great to see "REAL" carpenters still exist. My only question would be about the panels. Did you use MDF and how do you rate it will last, especially outside. I've heard even the "exterior" grade is not that good.
Hey, thanks for that, this is special MDF, made from Accoya wood fibres, it will not swell or rot outside, even untreated. Its called tricoya there is a link in the description
Great Job on the Repair Mate... It was so interesting and enjoyable to watch you transform that vintage door. I say it's least 50 years old. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work. Your Carpenter Friend from Tokyo Japan.
Great job! lots of good info and learned some great tips. I dont have that wonderful industrial tenoning machine ,no biggie, it would just take a little longer. The 45 angled steps in the grafted styles I will certainly use, super cool!
Very nicely jointed ,solid repair.I prefer Titebond 3 glue.Knowing about a Dutchman repair tells me you have done proper training . Bravo.in the old days we called it graving as well.As I said EXCELLENT , PROFESSIONAL repair work.
I hope you charged well for such a professional job. Customers are so rarely aware of what goes into such a repair and so think it can be done for less than the cost of the materials! Great work.
By far the most skilled carpenter I've seen on UA-cam, no fancy nonsense, clear explanations... I had a similar job like like a few years ago...the bottom of the door was rotten, I quoted about 250... The customer said it was too expensive... A few months later she called me back...the fella she opted for used pine and grip fill and interior gloss... I quoted her 400, and accepted and 5 years later it's still good... Btw I'm originally from Grantham, now Ireland...you have a east Midlands accent..nice to hear on UA-cam 😃
Thankyou for that mate. yes there seems to be some carp on here. The top viewed hinge tutorial when i looked the chap was using a claw hammer to hit the chisel. (even if it has a through tang, its bad practice and horrible to see) You sound cheap on the repair, glad you got the job sorted and another person educated! Well done on spotting the accent, im useless at accent identification haha! All the best, Olly
Dennis you’ve given so much good advice through your channel in the last couple of years and 2022 looks like you’ll take it to the next level. You are UA-cams No.1 woodworking channel for the hobbyist as far as I’m concerned and I’m excited to follow your workshop project in the New Year. All the best for 2022 and keep on doing what you do Dennis! 👏👏
Great to watch video, on my 2nd multitool now I think they are one of the most underrated modern tools out there, not only for carpentry but metal- plastics- tiles ETC
They are certainly more popular now than 10 years ago! They had a Fein when I started in 2007. I've not seen another one until about 5 years ago when they started taking off!
I kept seeing them when I popped into the toolshop and kept thinking "What use are they?" Eventually I bought a Makita 18v one and the number of times it got me out of a fix... Hardly a job goes by without it being used. Underrated, as you say.
My Bosch 18V brushless multi tool is the best power tool I've purchased to date. Worth it's weight in gold and has paid for itself ten times over. A real game changer and the ultimate get out of jail card, 👍🔨🇮🇪
Great video of that LONG repair job. So good to see a door like that being repaired. So much work involved in that. It was well worth watching a skilled joiner take pride in his work, along with producing such a well detailed video of the job.
Just found your channel, amazing job. I would love to be able to do wood working in a shop like that. Id build all new furniture for my house. Glad i found your channel.
I love to see things beeing sensually and professionally repaired instead of beeing thrown away and replaced by a new one. This door is now good for a second life. Good job, man, I enjoyed to watch. You have a new subscriber from Germany!
Fantastic, very professional job. Amazing how accurate your work can be with the correct machinery but still needs the tradies skills. All the best for the new year from new subscriber in Australia
A very decent repair. Customer will appreciate your work for sure. Whenever I did these repairs I liked to shutter the bottom of the door jamb 4 inches high say and fill with a strong cement to keep it off the cement threshold. But you did a good job. I’ve never used the quick dry glue but it’s good in getting the setting so quick. I’m retired now and I did enjoy watching you work takes me back nearly 40 years!
Fair enough! Rain splash and sitting wet as the main cause of the rot. THe accoya timber does eliminate that tbh, Its a game changing material for this work. Thanks for the comment :)
I used a 2 part wood filler. They are all pretty similar so whichever brand is most accessible to you. Bigger filling I'd look to use repair care and the wood hardeners
Cheers Lee, Yes Its Extreme MDF from Medite, made using Accoya wood fibres. Will last outside unpainted for 50 years!!! Ive a test piece sitting in a puddle outside the workshop for 7 years now, other than it being very discouloured its still exactly the same .
@@BradshawJoinery Thanks for that explanation. I thought it looked looked like MDF too, and the only stuff I've seen turns to custard if you so much as show it a damp rag.
Loved the content and the procedure. Thats it, I’m subscribed, its always a pleasure watching someone who knows what he’s doing, carry out jobs like these. Why don’t you think about an apprentice? We’ll always need people with these skills. Job well done, thank you for sharing.
Maybe One day on the apprentice. My reason for doing the videos was mainly to share info as i hadnt taken on an apprentice. Thanks for the comment and sub :)
Thanks MAte, I put a clear End grain sealer on the bottom, its a product by sikkens, dries fairly fast. If your in a mega rust to seal end grain and have no other options, i have in the past allowed superglue to soak into the grain then use a spray activator to harden it instantly. Sealing the end grain of accoya is only to benefit the paint adhesion really. the actual timber itself will not wrot even if completely saturated.. for a long time
I watch a lot of build videos on youtube, but I don't think I've ever sat through a full 50 minute video without skipping any bits. Very good job on the repair. Impressive.
Well thats good to hear! CHEERS MATEY!

I hope you charged well for such a professional job. Customers are so rarely aware of what goes into such a repair and so think it can be done for less than the cost of the materials! Great work.
THankyou, I charged my rate yes and worked out fairly economical for the customer too VS a new door
@@BradshawJoinery to be honest, with your skill and shop capabilities you could've produce a new door with the same efforts in no time
@@sakadabara that would be too easy!
@@johnnybravado1030 😃😃😃😃
By far the most skilled carpenter I've seen on UA-cam, no fancy nonsense, clear explanations...
I had a similar job like like a few years ago...the bottom of the door was rotten, I quoted about 250... The customer said it was too expensive... A few months later she called me back...the fella she opted for used pine and grip fill and interior gloss... I quoted her 400, and accepted and 5 years later it's still good...
Btw I'm originally from Grantham, now Ireland...you have a east Midlands accent..nice to hear on UA-cam 😃
Thankyou for that mate. yes there seems to be some carp on here. The top viewed hinge tutorial when i looked the chap was using a claw hammer to hit the chisel. (even if it has a through tang, its bad practice and horrible to see)
You sound cheap on the repair, glad you got the job sorted and another person educated! Well done on spotting the accent, im useless at accent identification haha! All the best, Olly
@@BradshawJoinery is it the London carpenter, he has the clue hammer in the thumbnail 😂
Dennis you’ve given so much good advice through your channel in the last couple of years and 2022 looks like you’ll take it to the next level. You are UA-cams No.1 woodworking channel for the hobbyist as far as I’m concerned and I’m excited to follow your workshop project in the New Year.
All the best for 2022 and keep on doing what you do Dennis! 👏👏
Thanks Barry 👍👍👍
You two are funny. Nice chatting with you Bill and Frank. Lol. Joking aside that was very educational and fun to watch at the same time. Peace
Wow, what a skilled man, with so many hidden tips and tricks. Loved it, well done.
Thankyou Bob
Absolutely beautiful job, oh to have a workshop like yours.
Thanks Steve!!! It certainly helps!
Quite possibly the finest piece of joinery and repair Ive ever seen.
Thankyou, what a compliment!! :)
@@BradshawJoinery A Happy and prosperous New Year to you from a Brit in Portugal.
Great to watch video, on my 2nd multitool now I think they are one of the most underrated modern tools out there, not only for carpentry but metal- plastics- tiles ETC
They are certainly more popular now than 10 years ago!
They had a Fein when I started in 2007. I've not seen another one until about 5 years ago when they started taking off!
I kept seeing them when I popped into the toolshop and kept thinking "What use are they?" Eventually I bought a Makita 18v one and the number of times it got me out of a fix... Hardly a job goes by without it being used. Underrated, as you say.
My Bosch 18V brushless multi tool is the best power tool I've purchased to date. Worth it's weight in gold and has paid for itself ten times over. A real game changer and the ultimate get out of jail card, 👍🔨🇮🇪
Great video of that LONG repair job. So good to see a door like that being repaired. So much work involved in that. It was well worth watching a skilled joiner take pride in his work, along with producing such a well detailed video of the job.
Thankyou! It was a lot of effort to film, but seems to have been worthwhile! thankyou
Outstanding job Sir! A joy to watch, and thank you for sharing your mastery of this craft.
Cheers Tobias
its very easy to spot the difference of someone who enjoys their job , full credit young man ! outstanding work
Cheers Paul! Pleased you enjoyed
@@BradshawJoinery true passion makes great content
Beautiful, just loved watching, you made it look so easy and effortless
CHeers George!! :)
Magnificent, definitely adding kerfing with the multi tool to my trick bag.
Thanks, Yeah its a fantastic tool!
Nice work as usual, Ollie.
A great example of pure craftsmanship!
Cheers Matt
Just found your channel, amazing job. I would love to be able to do wood working in a shop like that. Id build all new furniture for my house. Glad i found your channel.
Thanks Gene! Its taken years to progress to this stage, pleased to share it with you! Some more videos coming soon!
excellent Job . Now this door get another 200 year life . good job
Thankyou yes should last a long time!
That was absolutely brilliant mate, great talent and skills
Cheers mate :) How did you find the channel, my analytics has gone mad the last 24h!!
It just came up in my “you may also like” queue! And I’m glad it did, great video to watch! Have subscribed 🤩
I love to see things beeing sensually and professionally repaired instead of beeing thrown away and replaced by a new one. This door is now good for a second life. Good job, man, I enjoyed to watch. You have a new subscriber from Germany!
Thanks for that! Not only save a piece of history, added to it and saved money over replacing
I really enjoyed that. Great work. Lovely attention to detail and very neat work.
Cheers Mark, appreciate you commenting 👍
nice to see someone getting a carpenter/joiner doing a joiners job instead of expecting the decorator to do it
Fantastic, very professional job. Amazing how accurate your work can be with the correct machinery but still needs the tradies skills. All the best for the new year from new subscriber in Australia
Thankyou Gordon, Yes its needs everything to come together for the perfect job!
A very decent repair. Customer will appreciate your work for sure. Whenever I did these repairs I liked to shutter the bottom of the door jamb 4 inches high say and fill with a strong cement to keep it off the cement threshold. But you did a good job. I’ve never used the quick dry glue but it’s good in getting the setting so quick. I’m retired now and I did enjoy watching you work takes me back nearly 40 years!
Fair enough! Rain splash and sitting wet as the main cause of the rot. THe accoya timber does eliminate that tbh, Its a game changing material for this work. Thanks for the comment :)
Loved this video, great to see restoration over a new build. Can you tell me which filler you use for external purposes please?
I used a 2 part wood filler. They are all pretty similar so whichever brand is most accessible to you.
Bigger filling I'd look to use repair care and the wood hardeners
Such a pleasure watching a true craftsman at work.
Thankyou!!!
Great video and very instructive.
The new panels you made looked like MDF, is that what you used?
Cheers Lee, Yes Its Extreme MDF from Medite, made using Accoya wood fibres. Will last outside unpainted for 50 years!!!
Ive a test piece sitting in a puddle outside the workshop for 7 years now, other than it being very discouloured its still exactly the same .
@@BradshawJoinery Thanks for that explanation. I thought it looked looked like MDF too, and the only stuff I've seen turns to custard if you so much as show it a damp rag.
From a bench hand joiner that is superb workmanship. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers Jimmy ☺️
Loved the content and the procedure. Thats it, I’m subscribed, its always a pleasure watching someone who knows what he’s doing, carry out jobs like these. Why don’t you think about an apprentice? We’ll always need people with these skills. Job well done, thank you for sharing.
Maybe One day on the apprentice. My reason for doing the videos was mainly to share info as i hadnt taken on an apprentice. Thanks for the comment and sub :)
@@BradshawJoinery any youngster doing an apprenticeship with Bradshaw Joinery would be a lucky lucky barsteward 👍🏻
Amazing work, I will be putting this knowledge to work very soon with a rotten door of my own
Really nicely done. i just have a question, did you treat the endgrain at the bottom of the framerepair ? and if not, why would that be ?
Thanks MAte, I put a clear End grain sealer on the bottom, its a product by sikkens, dries fairly fast. If your in a mega rust to seal end grain and have no other options, i have in the past allowed superglue to soak into the grain then use a spray activator to harden it instantly.
Sealing the end grain of accoya is only to benefit the paint adhesion really. the actual timber itself will not wrot even if completely saturated.. for a long time
@@BradshawJoinery nice. ty
Love the calm systematic craftsmanship. Great stuff.
Very nice work, we are losing our craftsmen here in the states. Glad someone has taught you well.
Cheers Eric, yes lucky to train at one of the last small traditional bench joinery shops! Not many at all left here.
