![The Chickens From 40 Years Ago Have Come Home to Roost… [Carpenter’s Home Renovation Part 2]](/img/n.gif)
Your dad makes lime rendering look effortless! Happy to see the latest installment of the staircase saga, can't wait for more.
I just looked at that wall and it was a beautiful thing! 😮 That also explained to me why the French houses are that color (love it)! You folks flipping rock!
The phrase "Impressive craftsmanship" falls short when describing what this channel offers in the way of building. Artistry comes close but still short changes what is taking place. Once again Carl, thanks for sharing this journey.
Carl just to help you and your father in plastering! He puts it on the wall as a left hander but uses his right hand in reverse. Tell him to always start in the top left corner when putting on or even rubbing up. It takes all the lines out as you go and its easier when taking it off the hawk as well. Also tell him to get it flatter go up and down in two motions each time applying the material of choice. Also to get less sticking in the mixer jack up the rear two legs with a block and it will mix faster cleaner and less effort. Keep up the great work. You’re both living a dream of mine to restore a foreign house. All the best (a plasterer of 15+ years)
His dad says thank you.
His dad said fk u
I've been building for 35+ years,, staircases are by far the most nerve wracking, and difficult job you can do, not having square walls just complicates it even further. Nice job!! from an old New England, carpenter.
I know it’s really just a staircase, but to me it’ll always be a miracle. It fit! It’s beautiful! The craftsmanship behind all this! I’m in a really good mood right now! Thank you!

🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 )

Thanks Carl , it is always a nice surprise to see you've uploaded new content . Please continue for us less skilled individuals.
less skilled and more lazy 😉
I liked the hug at the end of the second flight assembly.
The brilliant picture of you and dad smiling and hugging. Lovely moment when the plan works out
Incredible effort again gents, your carpentry skills definitely went up another level this time....
Btw, that's a brilliant photo of you and your Old Man!
The old man's beaming with pride, and who can blame him? What a star his boy is!
Your dad has some serious skills!
Superior workmanship done with limited materials, tools and labourers. Brilliant how beautiful and sturdy these new stairs and landings are. They will last centuries as well or better than the originals👍🏻
That is some fine plaster work by your father. Well done!
Your channel has become one of my favourites, really get excited when you've got a new video to share .Loving your work ,that place is going to be spectacular when finished and all done traditionally and not with loads of new building materials or off the shelf stuff.
Keep up the good work.
Loved the picture of proud dad with son❤
Master class in lime render - awe inspiring job. Stair case fitting was a thing of beauty.
I see words like: craftsmanship, masterpiece and similar in the description… add to that: amazing bit of artisanship and a bloomin’ brilliant job. You could frame that staircase and hang it on a wall… oh, you just did. Really nice work.
Well said!
When critical measuring is required before risking scarce materials on this scale, particularly in a difficult to reach place, try making a template out of cheaper materials such as low-cost boards as used in concrete forming.
Or use one of the many calculators online to poop out dimensions that are exact to the single milimeter, then trace out the template onto your beam
Or even several layers of cardboard glued together makes a really stiff pattern making material. If you have a large convention center near you, they throw out thousands of foam core signs after each convention ends, which can be scavenged from the dumpster and used for pattern making, they are really stiff, especially if you can find the stuff that is 1/2" or 3/4" thick. Plus it's free, and free is always the best price.
Or.... don't f*** it up :)
Love your videos, and know as well as any other builder that there's a "do as I say, not as I do" approach to safety. But I feel that since I care about you guys, and much appreciate the work you're doing, I must remind you of the importance of wearing protective eye gear when you mix lime. It's highly alkaline, and getting that in your eyes can render you blind.
I work with lime, and have burns from it on my hands and arms. One of my building friends, Caroline (from France, as it happens), has permanent eye damage on one eye from lime dust while mixing without proper glasses, a 40% reduction, if memory serves.
Take care, and good luck with the rest of the renovations!
How many people thought he was getting in the wrong side of the truck?! Love the celebratory sound effects! Really made the moment. Also love the Princess Leia buns (earphones)! 🥰. 🎉. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Carl, dad's comment "You are not trying to knock it into next week" make me larf and cry at the same time as I could hear my own dad 20 years ago saying just that sort of thing. Great job on that staircase and your old man is a whiz at lime rendering.. almost like he has done it before!
You put your heart, soul and skill into everything you create. It really shows. Brilliant work Carl.
Amazing production quality as always, well worth the irregular upload schedule. So much better than folks pushing videos just to feed the algorithm. I particularly enjoyed the teaser for the landing door, can’t wait to learn what it’s hiding!
There is no greater feeling than when a plan comes together.
You are very talented it's like you have 50 years experience in carpentry.I have 25 years in the trade and i have never made a set of stairs in that design, hats off to you.
The party streamer effects are hilarious. ✌️
its such a joy to watch your videos. the craftsmanship, the relationship with your parents, the history of the house... and combined with just a great edit, voice-over, a bit of humor... thank you!
Beautiful lime/red sand rendering of that stairwell wall. Congrats. I'll bet that you both slept well that night! Good to see that old newel post being reused.
I love the color of rendering, It looks stunning with the oak!
I felt some serious "Is this foreshadowing?!" anxiety when you were talking about not screwing up the cuts at the beginning; that turned out great!
The movie clips are brilliant, they make me laugh out loud every single time. Love your videos, and love your work.
I can't stop watching your work. So beautiful. Thank you!
Having parents are priceless.
My Grandfather was a Master Carpenter, and I am quite sure he would have placed an arm around your shoulder and told you how proud he was of you. Not only are you a Master Carpenter, but you are dedicated, articulate (translating carpentry terms for those across the pond) and fastidious in your endeavors. BRAVO Carl. Your parents must be very proud of you. Donald Price
I’m very impressed, wonderful work. I bought an old wreck of a house in the Paris area in 1987 and fixed it up over the years (with help). I still live there in L’Hay-les-Roses 8km from Notre Dame in a lovely house with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It’s much more accepted and common here to fix up places with much less problems with planning depmartments and jobsworths like I remember in the UK. As for you having to go back to the UK because of brexshit what a clusterfuck that is eh, I took French nationality in 2003 which was the best thing I ever did since coming here in 1982 - something to consider perhaps, vous seriez le très bienvenu mon ami parmi nous 😁
oh look, a nation wanting to be sovereign and not led by non elected power hungry bureaucrats in brussels, what a shock, we should have kicked them to the curb years ago when they pushed passed their remit of free trade agreements
I've enjoyed watching your projects and I have to say, you and your father have serious skills. Past yourselves on the back because you deserve it.
First stringer placement was absolutely satisfying
I think you can safely say you left base camp with the stair rebuild. Doing the trimmings I always found to be the best part. Also of course the stringer inset into the wall is pretty common at least years ago in traditionally built houses. Lovely post. Thank you.
Unbelievable job! The staircase is as well constructed as it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Dude the pic of you and your dad is absolutely perfect. You should print and laminate it and somehow stash it in the staircase build.
I did a little happy dance at 2:40 when that stringer laid in so perfectly. Well done.
Nice save, using the clamps to avoid starting from scratch. Watching this channel I am reminded of an epic novel I read by Ken Follet, "Pillars of the Earth", and the craft and artisanry that went into building cathedrals in medieval Europe. I cannot escape the notion that what you and your awesome Dad do, has been ongoing for more than a thousand years, fathers passing down to their sons the secrets of their craft. How awesome is that? Thanks for this extraordinary channel. A labor of love. Cheers.
Impressive achievement !! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us. Beautiful staircase and great skills both you and your dad. Great video!!
What a talented team you and your dad are.
Well done everything.
Greetings from a carpenter / architect.
Now I have to watch all your other videos.
Phenomenal workmanship
Whew, I can’t imagine the brainpower it took to make this happen.
Every time I watch a video, I get surprised at how beautiful your work is, and I already KNOW it’s beautiful. Why am I surprised? You both rock. So much. You’re my favorite.
Outstanding workmanship, a job worth doing is a job worth doing well.
When you put the first stringer in, and panned the shot up to the floor height. I audibly gasped, perfect cut! Nice work Carl
Wonderful video as always. A pleasure to watch true craftsmen at their work. Thanks for sharing.
How nice! I was looking forward to this episode
Dad is an artist with that trowel!
I love old home like yours. I have a neighbor who lives in a home built in 1717 and the exterior of the building is made of Granite and Marble. The stairs inside the home are made from imported marble and is curved to the upper floors. There are Historians who are trying to find out who is the builder of these curved stairs because there are no others like it in the United States. The roof is the original and made from slate. If your parents can stay why can't you. Great Video. Still enjoying your coasters!!
Yes.... stairs part 3!
Great job, love how good the wall turned out. Those stairs look amazing
This is a beautiful old house. It would be interesting to know the history over the centuries.
Great video. I used to enjoy making wooden staircases at work, softwood, Oak and Walnut you name it. I'm a joiner by trade but i had to give it up due to ill health, I miss it. Take care.
4:46 Please get that photo printed, framed, and then hang it up on that staircase 😂😂
I was watching him fixing around that old door and was thinking "I wonder when or if they are going to restore that door and where does it go?" Then you read my mind. I love to restore old wood items, that feeling when you lay on the new stain or oil and see the wood just show its real colors and grain. It's simply magic.
Keep going, creative. All the best for your followers from Iraq 😊
Years ago, my brother and I built a five flight set in tall space very similar to yours in this video (nicknamed the Giarffe House) - ours was in a Listed Building very close to London's Heathrow airport - it's so long ago we used to dodge in to the airside cargo tunnel that had not long opened to cut a few miles off our journey - an arrestable offence now! Back in our day, there were no routers so we did it exactly as your originals brace & bits and chisels - my brother did the maths and I did most of the chipping. Pretty damn good job - and our client - a chief stewardess who'd begun on Stratocruisers - was still a stunning inspiration.
Your dad and I share the same cavalier attitude to scaffolding - so long as we can reach the job - good enough. Lime mortar is crap stuff to work with once experienced with the old browning or more recent bonding plaster - but take this as the complement it's meant to be - very few plasterers can keep up with me, your dad wouldn't have any trouble.
More than fifty years after the Giraffe House - I was back running what turned out be my last big project - it included the design & fix of all staircases - no professional involved wanted anything to do with them (in many ways, a very familiar tale of building site & project managers - I was put there to fail!) All the floors despite being a new build timberframe were different storey heights by 50/75mm and like yours the lower portion had to rise from an existing out of square retained foundation. I fathomed out a plan which The Company insisted went out to others ( unknown others that would quote cheap) but with many emails back and forth I was fairly confident that at least one guy at the factory knew something about staircases. One evening, I was locking up - before the roof was on - a lorry turned up with 18 carcass pieces, much of it made in MDF! After my impressive wardance had run its course - the driver convinced he could unload with his super Hiab into the building where the pieces could stored up on blocks and shrouded. Another late night. My chippies on 2nd fix were Albanian, they were excellent but needed their hands held to make a decision - they did a great job of all the half landings mostly using skyhooks to start. With the roof on, installation beckoned - being 1250mm wide 35mm MDF treads 25mm risers and Parana Pine strings - the weight wasn't much less than yours as our total rise was more. I installed two blocks up in the roof and after everyone had gone home set the first 21 tread set that accessed the basement - an 18ft monster - it went in just like yours - with a little judicious plaster pruning to one side! It's quite amazing how easily you can be a 70+ legend in your own lunchtime on a building site.
Love your channel, appreciate your commitment.
Been on some courses recently at Cornish Lime for rendering, plastering and pointing in lime (I'm an interested home owner, not a tradie!) and they sell St Astier NHL. They couldn't emphasise enough that gauging the mix properly using buckets or similar is so crucial when using lime. The also favour forced action mixers where available as they really speed up the process but a good old Belle works just as well with a bit more time! Bit surprised you PVA'd it rather than just giving the substrate a good soaking to slow down the suction. Looks a nice finish though, and that staircase is absolutely mint, what a beautiful thing!
Wow what workmanship. You must be so proud of yourself. Looks amazing, well done.
Dads skill at plastering is a joy to watch
Love watching it come together ❤️ I forget who said it but part of it goes: In all things success depends on previous preparation : I think it's great you guys take the time👍
Always interesting videos. Your father is very handy with a trowel, does he do cement/masonry work for a living or is it a skill he's just picked up over the years?
Excellent craftsmanship! Beautiful staircase! I found these videos very entertaining , and I watched all three without a break! Very nice
As always, true craftsmanship, education, and wonderful humor! Thanks for taking us along.
Was writing first comment before watched whole video and both this and previous video about concrete mixing give me anxiety 😅 I've done pretty fair share on concrete mixers making pavements around my house and my new garage and helping my sister and her hubby when they build their house to cut as muvh costs as possible, those pedals on concrete mixers here in Croatia are even larger and can be really dangerous if catch your hand or even worst if catch a long sleeve of shirt or jacket. Don't stick hands in mixer.
Or have someone ready to cut power in case of… literally hand on the switch.
Good video. Your circular saw issue (you mentioned how difficult it is to repeatedly reset the depth accurately to cut notches) I saw this on the Jeromes ( ua-cam.com/video/E2tMP3JK55w/v-deo.html ) about 2 minutes in - a circular saw with a scale to adjust the depth of the cut that means you don't have the hassle of trying to balance a saw in something like a heavy terracotta pot ( deep enough to allow the motor to go into ) to continually measure the depth the saw is sticking out of the bottom, in order to make accurate cuts. I'm sticking with the terracotta pot with a rag around it - these flash circuar saws look pricey.
I have no words for this Father and Son team, ok one,...fantastic.
Real nice rendering job. Particularly liked the close-up of the top finishing touches.
And today we learned the true cost of Brexit. If only we'd known sooner.
It's NOT Brexit you need to thank, a certain Macron and his bessie mate Verhofstadt are more deserving of your sarcasm with their politics of envy. I freely travelled and worked in Europe before we joined what was then the Common Market, so this idea did NOT come from Britain. I'm glad we left but we also need to get rid of this overarching "control" by unelected eurocrappers.
@@lowiepete quite the serious response to a throwaway joke made a year ago on a UA-cam video by a stranger.
@@himynameisdavenicetomeetyou a joke you say? Where's the punchline? Brexit was a serious topic, such a shame it gave birth to "woke" culture...
@@lowiepete So Brexit didn't come from Britain, but woke culture did? All of this on a year old comment on a video about building stairs. Get help
@@himynameisdavenicetomeetyou My only point is that if anyone is going to be sarcastic about a Brexit side-effect, then aim your bile at the people who were directly responsible. Let's face it, these idiots even tried to convince us that they didn't know that N.Ireland was part of G.B. I wonder how many people fell for that...
I appreciate the level of detail you provide and the focus on your process. Please do stay with it.
Amazing job!!! I’m not sure how to even wrap my mind around doing something like this
Magnificent can’t wait to see the spindles and Newell posts installed.
You and your dad have crazy skills!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Very nice to see this workmanship on the staircase as well as the rendering. Looking fwd to seeing the pointing done on the bottom half of the stairs.
Your work is totally amazing , same with your fathers .Thanks for the coasters . Hope to order T-shirts in the near future .
Great work, a beautiful staircase.
the first walk on a flight of stairs that you built is a feeling that can only be experienced, not described to others ... and the ones I've done are way less ornate than this!
So needed buckets prepositioned with sand.
Needed a ramp into building
Needed an electric winch to hoist buckets. I really like your project.
Great craftsmanship Carl! The staircase is a work of art!
Gosh, where to begin. I know very little about building, but I love it. Thank you for sharing. This has been so calming and a great lesson in patience during a trying time for me. Building in wood is a thing of beauty and your work is fantastic. I will be looking forward to the continued restoration.
That's some hard work! I love my Bessey Clamps too! Thanks for sharing, I'll keep watching. 👍🏾
Thanks, looks absolutely beautiful
Very nice work. Non-rectangular rooms, crooked roofs, etc. are always a pleasure to work with. Two small tips. I use a felt trowel (made of rabbit hair) for perfect flatness of the plaster. Plus a very slanted light to show all the bumps. Your method will probably be more suitable for repairing a historic wall. Small bumps give it spirit. Osmo hard wax worked for me for the final impregnation of the wooden staircase.
Wonderfully done! The time and effort putting into building a really good and esthetic staircase is well worth it!
Enjoy your sense of humor amidst all the “heavy lifting”….😊👍🏻
you won my heart with the top gun quote, you have no idea how much i love that movie.
Wonderful job! Precise measuring, beautiful wall work & a lot of heavy lifting. Nice to see mom. One super feat conquered today!
Hello
i am Just a son of Germany and i am relley impressed by your Genius woodworking skills ... I myself once worked with very old oak and i know Just how difficult it could be to get everything to Just fit Well ...
Therefore you got my highest Respect and i myself think that you can be very proud to have archieved this honoreble set of skills.
I Wish you the best and good progess on your Further Projects .

Beautiful, amazing. Great work. Lovely wall and stairs.
Fabulous. The plastering on the back wall a superb job. The stairs look amazing. well done. Masterclass by master craftsman. till the next installment thanks for sharing. xx
All that stair flight angst comes to a close with a satisfying clunk and the assemblers celebrate with a typical English restrained moment. I hope the after party at least included a cuppa.
4:50 lovely photo. I really love this series, beautiful countryside.
Thank you for sharing I enjoyed the craftsmanship it's always a beautiful thing what man can do with wood I'll be waiting with excitement for the next episode again thank you
I’m absolutely AMAZED… some Mad Skills you all have.
Nice work folks, Thank-you.
Wonderful! This residence is breathtaking! You and your dad are doing a wonderful job. You are talented, patient, calm, meticulous and professional. Your videos make me really happy to watch. Thank you for that... 😉
