'1971' may have been when the door was re hung! That looks like a late 1940's or 1950's sunray door to me and you have made a wonderful job of saving it. 🎉 Just stunning.
After 15 years of living in our house,we realised that the pair of panelled doors leading to our dining room were actually a pair of these, ply covered with beading glued on,apparently a common thing in the 70's. Unfortunately they were without glass or beading but we were chuffed anyway and sent them to a furniture maker we know who restored them and replaced the glass with a plain glass etched with a scene across the panes,they were in exceptionally good condition underneath the panelling and had only a couple of coats of paint before being covered. The restorer believed them to be from early1950's and noted that the timber was of really good quality.
I'm not sure what's most impressive about you - your skill, or your patience. As someone who's hung doors, it blew my mind watching you freestyle that thing into the opening.
Really love the subtle humor: 05:09 "I used a special tool to gently scrape the soft paint" [uses flat head screw driver] 10:25 "I filed it down until the beading profile appeared" 11:16 "I found this random piece of pitch pine in my big pile of pitch pine offcuts" 13:53 "The door was too narrow and too tall, unlike m|
4th September 1971, two days before I started work as a 15 year old apprentice. Wish I could turn the clock back, happy days. But NYW makes today a whole lot better. Yet another great video,😊
I had a consumer unit replaced during a rewire of an old back to back house a while back. When the old box was removed , an old Electricity Bill fell out from the plaster dated June 1966. I noticed that it didn't get paid until November that year at the post office with an old fashioned date stamp on it. Hmmm I wonder what might have happened in England in 1966 that might have delayed payments of utility bills for a few months ? I placed it back behind the new meter board to be rediscovered in 2040.
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.
Russ, as many others have said another great video of loving craftsmanship to restore an old door to a beautiful item. However, i don't think that you have commented on this and I think that it's really important. The Regs on Safety Glass on Internal Doors in the UK wasn't introduced until 1992, unless i'm mistaken. By coincidence, around 1971'ish, when I was a kid, a friend of mine fell through an internal glass door and got some quite horrific injuries. I'm writing this out of concern for your girls in the event that it hasn't been considered. Love the channel and looking forwards to the next one.
Nice job! I have seen a few of these doors over the last 40+ years in my area. They seem to have been popular around the mid 40s to mid 50s. The cool thing is I have seen the "sun" both ways. Some on the top, some bottom and even one set of french doors where they were top and center. So glad to see this one saved :-)
I am neither a woodworker or a home improver, but I follow you religiously, because of your passion and attention to detail in all you do, and I love to learn. As a lover of Hi-Fi audio, I think it was your Turntable base video that first lured me into your world, and now I consider myself a part of it...
It’s not too hard to get started, I decided to learn basic DIY and woodworking skills maybe 10 years ago and I consider myself only worryingly incompetent now, a big step up from dangerously. Still haven’t worked up the confidence to try welding, given the injuries sustained from screwdrivers, hammers, chisels and absent minded collisions.
This is what my parents did with the glazed internal door dad fitted. Well, after the dog ran down the hall into it! She was fine but needed a quick trip to the vets for stitches. Safety film is cheaper.
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.
Great to see the old door come alive again. Using the scraper method was the ONLY way we were taught sixty odd years ago. Thank you for all your posts.
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.
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.
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 know the tool you made as a Scratch Stock, or Scratch Block, and remember my father making and using them 60 odd years ago. Really useful and simple to make. Great job.
Our front door was 10 panels of that exact glass. The number of times my dad had to reglaze the bottom 4 - they were always getting smashed by footballs etc. Thank god none of us ever put a limb or a head through the glass!! I can still see him removing the broken panes and the smell of the linseed putty fitted around the new ones. Takes me right back 😊 Beautiful work Sir and thank you for saving that wonderful old door 👏
One inportant ingredient you failed to mention. Infinite patience. You sir are a patient man. All that scraping, scraping and more scraping ? More power to you !
Also love the stillness of your videos thank you. The door is so beautiful. Well done for restoring it. My volume was turned up - the noise of that scraper 😮
Those special tools are what separates the pros and the amateurs. I love those sun ray doors, lots of them and the panel doors got ripped out or covered up with hardboard back in the 70s so it's definitely worth stripping back old doors in old houses, you never know what you might find.
I so admire your attention to detail and the very highest level of professionalism you apply to all your work. It's pure joy to watch. Thanks for sharing
I restored the same door in a 1903 terraced property back in 2007. My door had plain bevel edge glass though. Too good to destroy. The door is still in the property today. Love your videos, so peaceful to watch
So good to see another video, the time you take in your work is amazing, i love being able to watch that house become your home little piece at a time. the only downside was this was a little short :D
Brilliant job as always, Russ. Love the humour too. I was a little disappointed when at about 6 minutes in you finished scraping one side of the door and didn't say 'rinse and repeat' 😂. Keep the videos coming.
An excellent way to bring natural light into a dark hallway. I hope to do that for my office door and the bathroom door. My bedroom door will be a bookcase.
I found this immediately after I finished removing the paint from 2 similar old doors. Took me a very long time using stripper, putty knives and sanders. I have never seen a scraper like that
Bonjour, j'ai regardé toutes vos vidéos et je les ai toutes adoré. Vous êtes un super bricoleur dans tout les domaines et même votre façon de faire vos vidéo elle sont super bien faites. Bravo et merci pour le partage. Cordialement
Brilliant video, showing some of your skills. I believe that door dated from an earlier era, I say that because I was a paper boy (news paper) and that style of door was all ready dated in the 1960s. Thank you. Peace and goodwill
I have only found your channel in the last few weeks, catching up on older ones as well as watching newer ones. Brilliant work, wonderful helpers and love the dry sense of humour. Looking forward to more
Hi happy to discover your channel, and you thank us for watching, I thank you for showing us your work, precise and interesting, I have a bit of this kind of work to do.
A very nice door. very 1950's ish, but also with hints of Thomas Telford in the sunburst design. Good to see a door from this era being reused and not thrown on the tip. Looks like one of the glass panes had been changed in the past. Well done a nice job.
I always enjoy watching your videos. Your patience and level of attention to detail are astounding! I also thoroughly enjoy your bits of wry humor thrown in.
I love the door. It's just beautiful. And since this is my first time seeing a video of yours, I thought you looked like a model. Your face is very chiseled.
I was waiting for the custom molding scraper ! My Dad would make them out of old saw blades too but had a way to duplicate the exact profile using a template drawing that used a 45 degree line to turn all the profiles points , he would scribe the hard steel blank then file or grind the profile and clean it up with his set of shaped oil stones and finally a burnishing steel . They turned out very smooth and a perfect match to the original. I still have some of his scrapers and his old Sargent 1080 with many custom cutters he made, I keep them all in the original box. I am 72 and still use the kit.
Terribly good!! Why is it so satisfying to watch old relics brought back to shiny newness? Especially the decisions made along the way to inject best form and function. Very well documented with detail views of skilful tricks!
As always I'm really impressed how you just keep plugging away. I would give up hours before you and just left the cardboard up. I also have a set of specialist tools, but not quite the range that you have. BTW laths is a simple plural - doesn't need an apostrophe.
I have been wishing for he whole day to see a new video on thich channel - and YES! - the dream have come true. I love your videos, your craftsmanshio, your editing. God bless you Sir!.
Glad you saved and repurposed the sunray door, next is that abomination of the kitchen pvc door, I can’t wait to see what you replace it with. And if you make it yourself. I hope it matches the sunray door. ❤
I loved the sun ray feature. I’d say that was an Art Deco 20/30’s feature myself. I nearly cried when you repainted that gorgeous scotch pine! After all that scraping off and getting it back to bare wood. I’m soooo sad. But … each to their own.
New to you channel 3 minutes in and I'm hooked already. As others have mentioned, no music just the sounds and the reading of the comments. Get me a cup of coffee and I'm binge watching. ;-)
Three things I love about your videos. No music, no talking and the perfectism.
Yes! & so unlike American videos!
i would love a guitar shredding intro though..........................😁
Great job can I ask is that glass safe for kids ?
Dont tell... Show!
If you’ve ever heard a Yorkshire accent you’d appreciate the debt we owe him even more.
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

It looks Art Deco to me.
I agree with @jackfntwist. I would say definitely Art Deco.
I concur that it looks like an earlier era than the 1970s. I remember the 1970s and they'd have felt older even then.
yes, I believe it’s Art Deco as well.
Fabricating that little shaping tool from the old hand saw was as seriously creative as I could ever hope to see...well done Old Mole.
That carbide scraper noise is delightful... reminds me of nails on chalkboard
I had to turn the volume down haha
😂
See, I was going to comment, that I much preferred gloopy mess to unbearable screeching :)
Agreed😅
lol. Yeah. I pulled off my headphones.
I was especially impressed with the special tool for the softened paint. I must get myself one of those...
For real, some sort of alien tech.
Skarsten scraper - available in all sorts of configurations @@XJon2011
I believe it's a rare German tool call a 'Schroodraiwer', might be hard to source.

I had the same thought. If I'd made the video, it would be peppered with colourful language as everything went wrong.
@@WayneMacDonald1 No kidding. I would have ruined my drywall with a hurled tool or two.

20:00 "This paint could take a lot of criticism and insults" [It had a thick skin]
I loved the double vice bit. He is human after all!
I agree he is human but a very clever human
Otherwise known as a paintdriver. I have a selection of them...
Love how you used an old saw blade to fashion a scraper to make your own moulding!
Another great job. These doors are actually called “Sunrise” Doors!
They take me back to my childhood.
I love your video! No talking, no music. Other RUclipsrs could learn from this.
The 'woodworking monk' strikes again. Always a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. Cheers!
Hurray, a new video! 😀👏👍
Exactly 😂
Lovely job! 2 points... One can never, ever have enough clamps, and it's great to see the kitchen blackboard getting a good workout

Beautiful old door, which you’ve more than done proud. Love the humour especially regarding the thick-skinned paint. Thank you.
Don’t forget the joke about the thickness and height of the door!
Marvelous craftsmanship that is top notch, and an occasional ribald comment!

Absolutely love your videos and your work. If you have time to post more please do. I look forward to seeing you and the progress on your home.
Very nice. We all know you could easily build new but I like that you repurpose and restore the old door instead of tossing it.
Yes, why throw away a perfectly good door, save time and money. That type of glass alone today to buy new would cost quiet a lot

I've been working on old houses since the earl 80s and still always learn something new from the NYW. Thanks for sharing your work.
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.
Good point👍🫡
My thoughts exactly… brilliant job.
This is what my parents did with the glazed internal door dad fitted.
Well, after the dog ran down the hall into it! She was fine but needed a quick trip to the vets for stitches. Safety film is cheaper.
There's always a handful

Nice to see hinges being chopped the proper way!!!!
One inportant ingredient you failed to mention. Infinite patience. You sir are a patient man. All that scraping, scraping and more scraping ? More power to you !
My gran had a door like that with different colored glass. We called it a sunburst door ❤
WOW! WOW! Your skills, imagination and patience are off the charts! Your use of the old saw was mastery at its finest.
Love your videos!
Allways a joy to watch true craftsmanship👌
Also love the stillness of your videos thank you. The door is so beautiful. Well done for restoring it. My volume was turned up - the noise of that scraper 😮
Great project. But was lol at the 3 year comments! I feel the 3 year old touched a nerve with you! 😂

My compliments to a job well done. I just refinished my wooden front doors (double door set) that were originally hung in the late 70s as well.
Cuts and fine editing. No fast forward, no background music or voice over. An amazing work, as always. Thank you so much for sharing.
It’s a beautiful door and you done a wonderful job putting back to work . Thanks
You're a true craftsman. I particularly liked how you made the stairway. Marvelous.

So happy you saved and restored that door. It's so beautiful.

Thanks for filming and bringing us along!
I'm glad you installed this door with the sun at the bottom. I saw pics of it online and other doors were hung with the sun at the top. Fantastic job.
That's a great job mate. You had some serious clampage going on there as well 😁

A very nice door. very 1950's ish, but also with hints of Thomas Telford in the sunburst design. Good to see a door from this era being reused and not thrown on the tip. Looks like one of the glass panes had been changed in the past. Well done a nice job.

They turned out very smooth and a perfect match to the original. I still have some of his scrapers and his old Sargent 1080 with many custom cutters he made, I keep them all in the original box. I am 72 and still use the kit.
