Hi, I'm Ross, and I renovate homes for living!
Making a Victorian window. Bedroom renovation
In this video we are renovating a bedroom in a home built in the mid 1800s. As part of the job I had to build a new window frame matching the existing one in order to replace a damaged section. #diy #carpentry #renovation

How I built this step ladder
มุมมอง 217หลายเดือนก่อน
In this week's video I am building a step ladder to access a little loft kind of area, which eventually is due to get some shelving for storage. But as of now we're just giving the homeowners access so they can first figure out what they'd want to keep there, after that I'll go back to design and build the storage accordingly. #diy #joinery #ladder

Yep I'm subscribing to ur channel rote now😮💯 those hand tool are amazing and gives excellent finish 👏
Thanks, mate! Some of them used to be my granddad's!
Great, yet simple technique w/ the floating tenons from MDF. Excellent method for production shops. If painted, MDF has a lot going for it. One more advantage when using MDF floating tenons: MDF swells just a bit (1mm / 1/16”) when glue is applied. This should make for a snug fit between the rails, stiles & panel.
I've been saying this for years, MDF is a wonderful material, obviously not for every project, but for painted fitted furniture is fantastic!
The comment on the linseed putty taking a month to dry isn't a bad thing as I recall doing the same thing many years ago and the linseed putty actually took 6 months to fully cure🤔. Regarding the price for all the work you did, my comment is, was the customer happy and if so then the price was good. Also the window that you made to replace the busted one looks great, from the camera you can't even tell that it's a whole new section, well done 🧐🫡.
That's the only reason I hate using putty, and when possible I'd use quadrant instead, but sometimes it has to be like for like!
after many years of using a wallpaper stripper with bad results on the plaster underneath I have stopped using them and now just use soapy warm water and the plaster has been far less badly affected... hope you don't mind me jumping in, but could be worth ditching the stripper... thanks for sharing. you made a lovely job of the window!
I am not ditching the strippers! And the steamer too! 🤣🤣🤣 Jokes aside, I don't mind it at all mate in fact I always welcome people sharing their experience and thoughts it is very helpful for me too! Funnily enough I was trained in college to strip wallpaper with just water and sponge, and sometimes (if it is a small section or just one wall) I'd still do it that way, however when it is a bigger area I would pull out the steamer. It makes the job faster, and given that I hate stripping wallpaper, regardless of the method I just want to get it over with!
@@rtrenovations :) perhaps a big difference is that you can plaster too and I can't! thanks for your reply, I really enjoy stripping wallpaper, maybe I need locking up!
That price is ridiculously cheap for the quality of the work. I wish you were available for work on my house up here in the Scottish highlands!
Thanks mate! Fun fact, there used to be a guy in Scotland who used to impersonate me and my company, so beware of hiring a company called R T Renovations! 🤣🤣 This is a true story BTW, I know it may sound like I'm making this up but the guy had his van sign written with my mobile number on it, so for about two years I would regularly get job requests from Dundee!
Happy New Year Ross! Your videos are always packed with awesome tips and methods. I really enjoy your real and down to earth way of showing your projects. As always your customer got an amazing deal and the price is, in my opinion, was very reasonable. The room looked fantastic. Thanks again for a great video!
Thanks Craig, appreciate the feedback! I'm very happy you liked the video, I always try to improve the production and give you more value!
Really enjoyed watching the window remake and learned a few things too. Subbed and liked.
Thanks mate, much appreciated!
Prefer to use SBR myself,superior product to PVA. as it as better bonding properties than PVA.
I, too, use SBR, but only when the background is a bit questionable. Especially when dealing with lime mortars or in the 30s, sometimes they would save on cement by adding more lime to the mix, and Gypsum doesn't like it. However, PVA is a lot cheaper, so when things are OK, I'd rather use it.
I believe that's a very reasonable price especially having to custom make the window as well as all the prep work that was done on the walls which makes all the difference. Well done!
Thanks mate!
Awesome work, really enjoyed the video. Makes me feel better about building doors in the future as I do not have any industrial tools. What a bargain for the customer, they got a high quality product for a great price. Don't know your market but Id suppose you could charge much more.
Thank you mate!
Nice panel doors. Looks great.
thanks mate!
I made it too few weeks ago. Want to know how ? just look for WoodPrix.
I had my wall plastered a week ago, it has dried well but im left with a little brown streeking but is dry to toucn, is it dry ready for a mist coat.
Hard to tell without seeing it, but if it has been a week, I'd say probably. It could, however, be a stain coming through the plaster. Sometimes that happens, you'll see if that's the case once you mist coat it, and if so, use Zinsser to cover it.
So happy I found your channel
Thanks mate, glad you find it helpful!
Gorgeous!
Thanks mate!
I’ve tried using putty before and it’s so oily, messy and sticks to hands and fingers which is so annoying. The putty you had in your hand looks ok and dryer. Is there different types then?
Thanks, mate. I know exactly what you're talking about! A trick I've learned from an old painter is to use some Gypsum to make more dough like and less sticky. If you have whiting (calcium carbonate), you can add more to achieve the same result, but if you don't, Gypsum in small quantities is a suitable substitute!
Excellent commentary / voiceover. Makes a lot of difference when showing your process 👍🏻
Thanks mate, the voiceover is the one bit I enjoy the least when it comes to video editing! Probably because English is my second language! But nevertheless when I listen to it back it helps me improve my pronunciation as I pick up certain word that I would regularly mumble.
@rtrenovations Second language? Now you're just showing off 👍🏻😁
It did take me 7 attempts to properly pronounce "simultaneously" the other day! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Learn how to make it yourself with all details. Just look for WoodPrix :)
I made a similar one with WoodPrix instructions!
Is that a website to buy plans from? I've had a look briefly, but I didn't quite get it.
I made it too. Just used WoodPrix instructions for that :)
I was using woodprix instructions to make it and I did it already :)
cool! it seems a fair price considering its a solid wood hand made item. I don't think i head it, but how long did it take you to build these stairs?
Thanks mate, about a day then I had to pop in to deliver and install it (there are two screws on top that's it in terms of installation)
@@rtrenovations at the end the cost also depends on where you live, and how reliably you can get work. Anyhow, thank for the video, really enjoyed it!
I've found great e-book on WoodPrix. Good solutions for everyone I think.
I heard about WoodPrix instructions good opinions.
All my woodwork I am making with WoodPrix. Google and try it.
What version of the evolution saw is this? I borrowed somones dewalt mitre saw but i didnt go ahead with because it looked like i wouldnt be able to cut through the whole cornice , your saw looks bigger
"Evolution R255SMS+ 255mm Sliding Compound Mitre Saw With TCT Multi-Material Cutting Blade" that's the designation on their website! I get what you're saying mine has a capacity for a cross cut up to 300mm, some however are smaller, which makes them easier to transport (I'm think of getting one myself) as this one is annoying to move when I'm on site.
@rtrenovations thank you for clarifying, yes the one I borrowed was definitely smaller do you have a video of an inside corner being cut ?
@@dragonb1ade No, but I do it exactly the same it's just an internal mitre! You can cope it, but I think its unnecessary, coping is normally done on walls, to compensate for the fact that the internal corners a rarely 90 degrees exactly, but on cabinets more often than not they are so we can just mitre those joints. Hope this helps!
Bravo
Thank you mate!
Considering that the door is made from sapele and the whole thing is handmade, not only did you do a fantastic job making it, the price i think was fairly cheap. The price you charged the customer was more like the price you'd find on eBay or another site that sells cheaply to just get sales. They also make very poor products, unlike your product, which is of good quality timber and well made!!!. I know exactly what you mean about the weather, this year i don't feel like we had a summer, especially with the amount of rain we had!!!
Thanks, mate! Weather wasn't actually too bad here in the south, but still, that putty would have taken months to dry!
@@rtrenovations totally agree, I've used putty many times in the past to install windows and have found that it can take upto 6 months to cure properly 🤔.
Very reasonable price. Here in Canada that would be around $7500 before tax. That makes the job very much in line with modular cabinets. Those by the way would be particle board caracses, not plywood. I think you're working cheap. With your skill and the finished product, you could probably command 15-20 percent more.
Thanks mate!
Skilled carpentry + making the most of your tools + a practical approach = excellent results! Nice work!
My grandad used to work like that, mainly hand tools and not many power tools, certainly nothing crazy expensive in his workshop, yet he still produced some fine pieces over the years! I'd like to be a little bit like him, although I own more power tools than he would have approved of (probably) 🤣🤣
Very nice work! It's easy for us to speculate as to how much that would be worth but it really has to do with whatever market you're in. I wonder if they could've purchased a door like that anywhere else in your area... or at a similar price? I'm sure you did your research and I'm sure the client is thrilled. I am curious as to the make of that table saw... I've never seen a saw of that size with a sliding table before.
Thanks mate! The table saw is from evolutionpowertools.co.uk I think I actually have a discount code: RTRENOVATIONS it was a long time ago this code was set up but if I'm not mistaken I think it was for 5%off
Wow! beautiful. You could have definitely charged more
Thanks mate!
Too cheap. I guessed almost triple that price.
Thanks mate! Will sure keep that in mind next time I'm pricing up one!
Cool door! Awesome craftsmanship. I think your customer got a bargain.
Thanks mate, appreciate your feedback!
nice door, and very nice skills given the "not-so-industrial" machinery. I wonder why you did not fit vacuum insulated glass (or some other insulating glass) instead of single pane. That door has a lot of glass and the thermal performance might be affected. Price is reasonable. Keep creating, got a new sub here.
Thanks mate, it was for an old house, not allowed to use double glazing or any other modern materials. Had to match what was there before, but I get what you're saying. It could have a lot more energy efficient!
very good job the price seems to be reasonable. greetings from Poland :)
Siema 😉
@@rtrenovations siema :D
What an awesome door! I am inspired by your level of craftsmanship with simple hand tools, amazing. Thanks for another great educational video!
Thank you mate!
Hi what name of gray paint nice colour
Moles breath (number 276) from farrow and ball for most of the cabinets and elephants breath (number 229) again from farrow and ball for the tall units!
Nice!
Thanks mate!
Great video! All hand tools, no expensive stuff in sight, outstanding piece of furniture, and great instruction! What’s not to love. Thanks !
Thanks mate, glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video, lovely bench and the making of it was well explained
Thanks, mate. I have been working on my narrating skills! Fun fact it took me several takes to pronounce the word simultaneously, correct! 🤣🤣
Beautiful! and the joint too :p
Thanks mate, never been called beautiful before! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah wood isn't cheap these days so a reasonable price. I built a basic DVD case (1.5m wide by 1.8m tall) from dressed pine (182mmx19mm boards) and the cost was $400AU just for the wood. MDF would have been cheaper but we wanted it unpainted.
Thanks mate, always nice when people from different countries share their thoughts. The materials weren't that bad on this one, actually labour however was a little more because of some of the decorative details that we had to add!
Great job! I think that your unit is very reasonably priced!
Thanks mate!
Молодец! Продолжай и будет много зрителей!
Спасибо товарищ!
Nicely done Ross, shows how good a finish is achievable with hand tools, that might take slightly longer, but speedy to set up.
Thanks mate!
is that a sponge/foam roller?
That is indeed a foam roller!
Too cheap, up the price
Thanks mate!
I like bananas
Well, it's interesting what the Freudian explanation of your statement is! 🤣🤣
Is that 3k uk inc materials?
Yes mate!
@@rtrenovations that's a brilliant price for what you have created with proper wood and not this mdf of chipboard stuff from IKEA
