diyhero.org/2022/michael-bronco Welcome to my channel. I post videos that you may find useful around the house, doing repairs and do it yourself projects. You'll also find some of the knives I make professionally. I'm inspired by the tools and techniques used before electricity. I am not inspired by mass production.
Needed this so thank you. I'd probably drill the pilot holes in the molding before putting them up. Drilling with that glass insert there could break it. I'd probably also lay down the bead of caulk before setting the molding, not after.
FYI: that replacement glass must be tempered, which cannot be cut at the hardware store. Your local glass shop can order it for you or you can order online. Buy all you need plus some spares for savings.
Thank you for this video! I have a door just like this and needed some understanding on how to do this. Thanks for the details. 13 years later you content is relevant.
I dress the mutton’s the day before with 50/50 linseed oil and real turpentine. It socks into the wood and creates a better hold to the new putty. You do a great job here.
I am guessing by the position of the broken pain in the door that this window was broken as part of an attempted home intrusion. I would recommend replacing that pane, and possibly the one above it, with tempered glass, which will be much harder to break in the future.
2”x4” won’t even slow down a rabbit let alone a ground hog. Chicken wire added to the bottom couple of feet and bury 6 or 8 inches in the ground would help
I'm so glad I found your video. That's just like my door (1957 built house) Question: how do you measure for the glass? The empty space between the frame is approximately 7.5x11. Thanks.
Once the moulding is removed you'll measure the space in between the frame. I suggest having glass cut an 1/8" small in both directions. That will give you a 1/16" on all sides for expansion / contraction. Hope that helps.
5:45 instead of using nails why not use an adherent so that if it breaks again you wouldn’t have to deal with nails or the wood cracking when prying it off?
You are an awesome dad, kid will remember that for the rest of his life! I found some big pieces of river cane a while back behind my house in the woods and have been wanting to turn it into a fishing pole for my dad. Thank you very much for making this video! Question: I don't have any hemp cord, do you think that the strings from inside of 550 paracord or the actual paracord itself with the guts removed, will work instead? Hope all is well, - Colton
I own one of your knives and it’s amazing. Every time I wear it I get compliments. I keep telling people about you so I hope at least a few reached out.
Thank you, sir. I don’t talk about it much but I have a little tale. I bought one of your blades as a sigil of my joining my family business. My grandpa worked as a butcher, my mom did, and now I do. At first I was to adhere to the uniform. A bunch of people went missing in my small town and the closing staff were terrified. My boss said closing butchers were to escort the other staff to their cars. I asked if I could wear my personal knife as a weapon. It’s your blade I wore. Time went forward without incident. That is until one very fortunate unfortunate night. We were closed and the lights dimmed. A white truck parked out front for quite a while. I must not have been seen in the shadows because I got my work done on time. Well, the closing boss walked near the alarm system (tiny lady and a very good friend of mine) and two men got out of the truck and flipped up their hoodies. I’m not one to make waves but you threaten my friends and I lose my goddamned mind. I burst out of the door with your knife in my hand. A 6’3” mohawked butcher with a huge Bowie knife at the ready. The two guys managed to stammer out that they were looking for an open grocery store. They left in the opposite direction I gestured with the knife. I am sure I owe my staff’s safety to you. They robbed a store the next town over at gun point and got caught. I brought your knife to a gun fight and they ran off. I never leave home without it. I even wore it at my wedding. I’ll send you the pic if you want. Thank you, Mr. Bronco.
