Great book for a beginner . ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.
It is amazing how you can distill such a complicated, time-consuming process into such a superbly paced, super informational, and super entertaining video. I am obsessed with this channel.
This is a stellar project indeed combining multiple classical craftsmanships techniques, tools and practices :) And demanding a lot of patience as every project does. I really enjoy the series, keep up the good work; I like the editing style: no bs, music, just the background noises and wind and some narration here and there. Works perfectly! 2:03 Was there a reason for using planks lacking the tongue/groove in the first row and the last one? Now, there's a chance that it will likely create a gap as temperature, humidity etc. varies according to seasons and environment. Yes, the last plank can be a pain to fit, but doable. I have built some floors, ceilings and indoor construction for a while. Here are some tips and tricks: -Always keep the glue bottle almost full so you don't have to squeeze it that hard when glueing repeteadly and multiple joints during the same session -It is worth investing sharp & fresh blades for the mitre saw and jigsaw; the money will save, time, effort and yield more finished result in any project - and decrease the chance for splintering or skipping - and therefore increases your safety as well -Those annoying knots and holes can be filled with the mixture of sawdust and wood glue, then sand it off the next day, epoxy is valid, too -I prefer a wooden or plastic mallet when hammering the splints in to prevent splintering/breaking whether it is the case you have to really use force to get 'em in 100% Greeting from Finland!
Probably the best Ryan's ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
Because he is building something nice and usefull, from nice material which will be used in many years after it. Get up and start doing someting too. 😉👍
The installer did a thorough job installing and had some good tips on how to help preserve the shed. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx8CcyN6o1ejzQFIkabM3kaq93DfYKBg7z The product looks nice, cannot attest to the quality, it has been 3 days.
As a history buff, I (and others) would enjoy a video on the history and dynamics of how you got that lovely piece of property! Also, your commute from London and how you make that work! Thanks for giving u d a "time out" from all the world's woes on our minds!
As an old wood machinist/staircase fitter I salute you sir 🙏 I could nit pick by hey you are talented and I’m glad people like you are here to carry our trade onwards
The amount of stress doing that stair glue up, I was getting sweaty palms just watching it. This staircase will last hundreds of years! you should feel very proud of your work. its been a joy to watch.
Wonderful work Carl! With what your Pops has taught you, and with what you’ve figured out by yourself, you have a great set or craftsman’s skills to hold dear to you throughout life. Stay Safe!
Your videos are so well-done! The humorous clips, the time-lapse segments which are timed perfectly so that one isn't allowed to get impatient or bored but gets to see the whole process, just speedier. It's so compelling and gratifying to watch and learn everything you and your father know and do. I thank you for the already many hours I've spent enjoying the heck out of your videos.
I love it when you show us the views of your lovely countryside. Bruised and battered hands, another sign of a great craftsman. That sander really got your hand good, I hope you said a few choice words.! Your right patience is key, but so is KNOWLEDGE. Basic physics also comes into play. I had a border collie that looked just like Ruse's mom. Her name was Trixie. One of her pups came out a golden redish brown and we called him Rust. Wow an elephant could walk up or down those stairs a thousand times and they would not even bend. That must have been a great feeling when you put the puzzle pieces together and they fit! It was more than beginners luck it was skill!
THANKYOU ...just loved this ...you guys are amazing ...73 and never seen a staircase built in my lifetime ...and to see it done properly from the best... was very satisfying...even if that timber was a pain... to have reused it was wonderful ...if only it could talk ...luv from this Ya Ya with six little grandsons who lives next to the ocean in warm sunny Queensland ...thanks again ...my heart is richer from watching you two on the other side of the world ...nice to get a glimpse of your Mums kitchen ...I hope at least one of my grandson,s will do what you do one day
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland. Ich habe großen Respekt vor Deiner Arbeit. Die Liebe zum Detail. Und ich liebe Eure Landschaften. Die Bilder vom Monat Februar sind atemberaubend. Danke für diese Sehenswürdigkeit. Es wirkt alles so friedlich und gemütlich. Ich beneide euch. Für Eure Zukunft wünsche ich euch alles Gute.
that's how stairbuilders do it. beautiful. I've cut a lot of staircases, interior and exterior, a few winders in my day, but nothing to the degree these fellas did. gorgeous joinery
I want to commend you on thoroughly detailed restoration information plus handy tips you give out. I love watching your videos because the old school way you work with wood. Has struck a memory for me, because this is exactly how my grandfather worked with wood... He's been gone 34 years but not forgotten... He was a carpenter and contractor loved his work
good evening Carl et Dad... gentlemen, for over 52 minutes, i've been mesmerized by the attention and craftmenship you've employed in this project. living two or three departments from you, i understand completely your concerns and anxious moments about buying local 'Leboncoin' wood. i was quite happy to see you wearing your "SLIM." i wear mine with pride. i must say, this kind of craftmanship does not exist in California to my knowledge. i'm learning new terminology, hands-on techniques and wood working applications. with those wedges, nothing going to move or budge. thanks for providing us with a dessert-like vidéo. there's nothing sweeter than 'smelling fresh cut Oak in the morning." cheers
I have to tell you that this is like a master class on carpentry. It's like watching Norm Abrams from New Yankee Workshop. I am so glad I tuned-in to this and, not that I'll ever use it, it has taught me some serious skill-sets. The one thing I keep cringing about is wearing that loose-fitting shirt around a saw-blade. I know, I know! I probably sound like your Dad about now. Thanks for the videos; they're priceless.
I am not alone in (having been) looking forward to this - such an incredible amount of work and craftsmanship… regardless of the fact you though some elements were unnecessary or over complicated, you have achieved a level of technical ability that some can only dream of. Very well done!
Второе лето подряд подрабатываю в компании по отделке деревянных домов из сруба. Идеально шлифую бревна, насмотрелся на их гладкую поверхность донельзя, но на ЭТО можно смотреть вечно, просто чудо! Очень качественная работа, респект чуваку!
It was quite interesting to see a picture of the Angel Oak tree in your video. I'm sitting just a couple of miles from that very tree on Johns Island in South Carolina.
That was an awesome video. For someone who can only sharpen a pencil, your skill is amazing with a little help from the collection of electric tools. Thank you for sharing really looking forward to the next installment. Well done. Julia xx
Amazing! You always make your work so perfect that it looks like fine furniture! I cannot imagine that the cabinet makers 300 years ago could have come anywhere close to the tolerances that your skill and fine electric tools have provided.
Greetings from Germany. I have great respect for your work. The attention to detail. And I love your landscapes. The pictures from the month of February are breathtaking. Thank you for this attraction. It all seems so peaceful and cozy. I envy you. I wish you all the best for your future.
@@Mouthy_Trucker I've done that. It helps with thick stock that has movement and may bind the blade. It can also help a bit with tearout, but I don't think that was the reason here.
19:20 that sequenz is marvelous! Just remember how I discovered how to look if it is sqaure and straight. It´s like a gem in my mind :). Good Job on the editing!
In rural France(basse Normandy,) we layed over 100 sq. meters of .23cm oak floorboards(like yours,) 20 years ago; no nailgun but I did predrill the starting hole in the male slot of the oak flooring. Helped a great deal. Also sticking nails into axel grease helps but one needs patient assistant(was only my wife at the time,) and that wouldn't have lasted half of the morning....Great project; love watching...cheers...rr
When putting screws into oak it's important to use a correctly sized pilot drill and countersink bit. This will prevent screws snapping and provide much better grip. Really nice work though, oak is a fabulous wood to work with, just very hard.
we used to build those rabbited staircases by the same method but would assemble them with the stringers on a wide table with the upper face down on the table and install each tread/riser one at a time so you could wedge each side before moving down to the next tread/riser...and so on.
When I started my Cabinetmaking Apprenticeship back in the late 70's worked in lumber breakout for a commercial cabinet/millwork shop. I can't begin to imagine how many feet of solid oak, walnut and alder boards I ran thru a massive overhead rip saw, then a 16" long bed jointer to get a 90-degree corner and then thru a 24" wide planer for thickness. All these machines were large commercial machines that took a great deal of space so to see the small system you are using to get the same results is something that lets the smaller home-based shop such as yours, do great work in small spaces.
Im pretty much gifted with no carpentry skills at all but I was told to make sure to leave a gap for wooden floor boards at the outer edge in order to have space to expand which inevitably happens due to temperature changes or moisture in the air. I was told that it would be necessary to prevent floor boards to bulge up.
Nice work, I really enjoyed that video. Juts a note on your splines, they have the same grain orientation as the boards so they basically add 0 strength. You would need the grain to run at least 45° between the planks and not parallel.
I was watching that as well, there is a local guy here that was doing the same thing, only his, thinner, wider, softwood splines went in even looser than these. I mentioned the same issue to him, his answer was that's how woodworkers have been doing it for a long time. My experience watching the steps of some of the obviously skilled craftsmen on youtube is that their joints are already tight and strong even before glue. I was surprised to see these loose parallel grained splines go in this application.
The main advantage of the splines is to increase the total surface area of the joint in this instance vs a regular butt joint. With the grain running the same direction, effectively the spline and the rest of the wood is acting like one homogenous piece, with the glue reinforcing the contact area between them. So it should remain very strong for the stresses and loads expected to be put on the treads.
I am really fond of your work, and it is spectacular, I believe this new staircase is going to last longer than the previous one ! Really well done :) If I juste may say something about the cement, it is still quite important not to use it in old stone houses because of humidity that still is in the stone and can break them, but also because it doesn't move as well as lime with time (in a few years of time you'll have cracks that you wouldn't have with a lime mix). If you can, you should use only cement for foundations, forget it elsewhere :) Can't wait to see what you'll show us in the future Best regards and keep up the good work :) A fellow french guy renovating an old house
I'm so much in line with this comment. I love 99% of what is done in this channel, and the 1% I really dilike is the use of cement. Lime mortar is not that difficult to use and so, so much more durable. It stays plastic and doesn't crack, it is perspirant and respect the huidity equilibrium between inside and outside the wall.
@@sofconmac5299 Do you ever suggest using wire mesh as well? And how should the wall be prepped? Cleaned with a wire brush or power washing? What about applying a bonding agent? Right now our walls are very chalky with the parging removed. Appreciate the feedback
Although labour intensive, and without waiting to see how you will attach them, I think the splines in the treads will keep the boards from buckling in a few decades when the glue of a butt joint starts to break down. Maybe, perhaps, kind of worth it?
Your level of craftsmanship is simply amazing. Very tedious work, but look at the outcome! You are building so many memories for such a beautiful home.
I love to watch and appreciate your fine work, but can't help thinking about the phenomenal amount of work put in by the original makers of that staircase. Without power tools everything would have been hand tools. Back and forth with a hand saw, every groove chased out with a chisel.
Wow great job, just found your channel, I’m obsessed! And I for one love that you used a hammer instead of a tool to put in the decking/flooring. Very impressed by your skills, my dads name is Carl and he’s a builder too. I gotta say at first I thought you were older, then I realized you’re really young, how old are you? Your skills are impressive.
Great job on the stairs it’s looking really good so far 😊 I have to say the lack of safety you use by removing the guards on these is totally unbelievable, that planer thing is lethal, if you need to have a wake up call look at Perkins Builder Brothers, Jamie the one brother had an accident with one and has lost 3 fingers though he uses quite a futuristic cool thing on his hand now I’m sure he would prefer real fingers. There is no good reason to remove guards. 😊👍
I don't think he had a choice in cutting the wedges, I follow Perkins brothers as well and have seen the effects of his accident 2 years ago..... It's the loose clothing that worries me.
This is the best woodworking channel on any platform. I appreciate that you are willing to work hard to do the job right, where “right” also means being cost conscientious.
Hey Carl, I love your videos and I've been following the series for quite a while now. Love your work. Random question, what brand are your shoes? Ive seen them in a couple different videos and I've tried to find them but wasn't able to! Just thought they looked pretty neat and was interested in picking up a pair!
I hate to be that guy, but please don’t ever rip boards on the table saw without using the fence!!! You can’t imagine the force a kick-backed board can generate. Peace.
How can you cut out pieces with different angles to the sides of the board resp. different sizes/widths at its ends when using the fence of a table saw?
Or even better the assortment of tracksaws he owns! The Ts85, the TS55 and the HK55; they all would have made quick but more importantly safe tapered cuts. Seems like a skilled lad, but free hand ripping on the tablesaw is just plain dumb! And no safety glasses or hearing protection that I could see.
You have got the patience of a saint knocking all those nails in by hand Carl! I'm lucky that we could hire a PortaNailer locally, and used it when we installed T&G ash floorboard in our house. They are really simple to use, so if you're considering doing this it's well worth hiring one! We didn't have T&G on the end of our boards though, which was fine as we were installing them over a subfloor, but it does mean that the odd one where the end cuts aren't perfectly parallel and they touch - they squeak a little. These oak floor boards are stunning, and the staircase is beautiful. I bottled making my own as they are so complicated particularly with UK building regulations, and I was offered a freebie which I've then modified to add a winder, and I'm in the process of cladding it in leftover ash flooring. I'd love to have the skills and tools to make one like that!
My father was a finish carpenter and stairs were his bread and butter. This brought me back to his shop, his side hustle, making stairs for people’s projects.
Ridic impressed with your work but esp with your freehand of the curved wall, and how you made it align nearly perfectly. I know there are tools for this, but there’s something to be said about manual processes. Brilliant

The key for the finished result is a careful planning and thinking beforehand, works with a smaller project as well.
Those oak stairs will last a few hyndred years, they are absolutely solid.
This is a stellar project indeed combining multiple classical craftsmanships techniques, tools and practices :) And demanding a lot of patience as every project does. I really enjoy the series, keep up the good work; I like the editing style: no bs, music, just the background noises and wind and some narration here and there. Works perfectly!

I have built some floors, ceilings and indoor construction for a while. Here are some tips and tricks:
-Always keep the glue bottle almost full so you don't have to squeeze it that hard when glueing repeteadly and multiple joints during the same session
-It is worth investing sharp & fresh blades for the mitre saw and jigsaw; the money will save, time, effort and yield more finished result in any project - and decrease the chance for splintering or skipping - and therefore increases your safety as well
-Those annoying knots and holes can be filled with the mixture of sawdust and wood glue, then sand it off the next day, epoxy is valid, too
-I prefer a wooden or plastic mallet when hammering the splints in to prevent splintering/breaking whether it is the case you have to really use force to get 'em in 100%

@@Mouthy_Trucker I've done that. It helps with thick stock that has movement and may bind the blade. It can also help a bit with tearout, but I don't think that was the reason here.

Nice work, I really enjoyed that video. Juts a note on your splines, they have the same grain orientation as the boards so they basically add 0 strength. You would need the grain to run at least 45° between the planks and not parallel.
I was watching that as well, there is a local guy here that was doing the same thing, only his, thinner, wider, softwood splines went in even looser than these. I mentioned the same issue to him, his answer was that's how woodworkers have been doing it for a long time.
My experience watching the steps of some of the obviously skilled craftsmen on youtube is that their joints are already tight and strong even before glue.
I was surprised to see these loose parallel grained splines go in this application.
The main advantage of the splines is to increase the total surface area of the joint in this instance vs a regular butt joint.
With the grain running the same direction, effectively the spline and the rest of the wood is acting like one homogenous piece, with the glue reinforcing the contact area between them. So it should remain very strong for the stresses and loads expected to be put on the treads.
Absolutely fantastic work. A staircase furniture build! And I really admire your patience and stamina.
I am really fond of your work, and it is spectacular, I believe this new staircase is going to last longer than the previous one ! Really well done :)
If I juste may say something about the cement, it is still quite important not to use it in old stone houses because of humidity that still is in the stone and can break them, but also because it doesn't move as well as lime with time (in a few years of time you'll have cracks that you wouldn't have with a lime mix). If you can, you should use only cement for foundations, forget it elsewhere :)
Can't wait to see what you'll show us in the future
Best regards and keep up the good work :)

I'm so much in line with this comment. I love 99% of what is done in this channel, and the 1% I really dilike is the use of cement. Lime mortar is not that difficult to use and so, so much more durable. It stays plastic and doesn't crack, it is perspirant and respect the huidity equilibrium between inside and outside the wall.
@@sofconmac5299 Do you ever suggest using wire mesh as well? And how should the wall be prepped? Cleaned with a wire brush or power washing? What about applying a bonding agent? Right now our walls are very chalky with the parging removed. Appreciate the feedback
It´s all very interesting and you have a nice way of explaining what you are doing. The narrator format works very well.
Although labour intensive, and without waiting to see how you will attach them, I think the splines in the treads will keep the boards from buckling in a few decades when the glue of a butt joint starts to break down. Maybe, perhaps, kind of worth it?
Your level of craftsmanship is simply amazing. Very tedious work, but look at the outcome! You are building so many memories for such a beautiful home.
I love to watch and appreciate your fine work, but can't help thinking about the phenomenal amount of work put in by the original makers of that staircase.
Without power tools everything would have been hand tools. Back and forth with a hand saw, every groove chased out with a chisel.
You men are truly the best craftsmen I've found to date on UA-cam
Wow great job, just found your channel, I’m obsessed! And I for one love that you used a hammer instead of a tool to put in the decking/flooring. Very impressed by your skills, my dads name is Carl and he’s a builder too. I gotta say at first I thought you were older, then I realized you’re really young, how old are you? Your skills are impressive.
You should definitely use a dust extractor! Oak dust has been proven to be very carcinogenic.
Merci pour tes vidéos. C'est un super escalier, et le système de cales à 10° et très bien pensé. Bravo Carl.
Great job on the stairs it’s looking really good so far 😊 I have to say the lack of safety you use by removing the guards on these is totally unbelievable, that planer thing is lethal, if you need to have a wake up call look at Perkins Builder Brothers, Jamie the one brother had an accident with one and has lost 3 fingers though he uses quite a futuristic cool thing on his hand now I’m sure he would prefer real fingers. There is no good reason to remove guards. 😊👍
I don't think he had a choice in cutting the wedges, I follow Perkins brothers as well and have seen the effects of his accident 2 years ago..... It's the loose clothing that worries me.
This is the best woodworking channel on any platform. I appreciate that you are willing to work hard to do the job right, where “right” also means being cost conscientious.
Hey Carl, I love your videos and I've been following the series for quite a while now. Love your work. Random question, what brand are your shoes? Ive seen them in a couple different videos and I've tried to find them but wasn't able to! Just thought they looked pretty neat and was interested in picking up a pair!
The brand of shoes you're looking for is called 'Whatt-rdozè'. Very durable and weather proof if I'm not mistaken.
No idea what model, but they look like a Saucony running shoe.
Do you mean the black Vivobarefoots?
@@aayotechnology Yes! thank you!
I am impressed with your precision working !!! Well done. Kind regards from New Zealand.
Where is the original 300 year old stairway? On the fire.
Pity....
Nice vivo's, bloody love this channel
I hate to be that guy, but please don’t ever rip boards on the table saw without using the fence!!! You can’t imagine the force a kick-backed board can generate. Peace.
How can you cut out pieces with different angles to the sides of the board resp. different sizes/widths at its ends when using the fence of a table saw?
@@christiankoellner7542 you don’t use the table saw for wonky boards like those. You would use the bandsaw, or a handheld jigsaw.
Or even better the assortment of tracksaws he owns! The Ts85, the TS55 and the HK55; they all would have made quick but more importantly safe tapered cuts. Seems like a skilled lad, but free hand ripping on the tablesaw is just plain dumb! And no safety glasses or hearing protection that I could see.
@@Mrjglass213 no respirator either.
Time stamp of what you’re referring to? At 49:45 and 50:13 he’s using the fence, but not a push stick.
You have got the patience of a saint knocking all those nails in by hand Carl! I'm lucky that we could hire a PortaNailer locally, and used it when we installed T&G ash floorboard in our house. They are really simple to use, so if you're considering doing this it's well worth hiring one!
We didn't have T&G on the end of our boards though, which was fine as we were installing them over a subfloor, but it does mean that the odd one where the end cuts aren't perfectly parallel and they touch - they squeak a little. These oak floor boards are stunning, and the staircase is beautiful. I bottled making my own as they are so complicated particularly with UK building regulations, and I was offered a freebie which I've then modified to add a winder, and I'm in the process of cladding it in leftover ash flooring. I'd love to have the skills and tools to make one like that!
Impressive craftsmanship - well worth all the bumps & bruises - can't waiter the banisters and handrails.....
My father was a finish carpenter and stairs were his bread and butter. This brought me back to his shop, his side hustle, making stairs for people’s projects.
THANK YOU...THANK YOU....THANK YOU......I AM A CARPENTER 55 YEARS EXPERIENCE.....YOU ARE MY BROTHER IN QUALITY PRODUCT
Ridic impressed with your work but esp with your freehand of the curved wall, and how you made it align nearly perfectly. I know there are tools for this, but there’s something to be said about manual processes. Brilliant
Thank you for include small clips of the local area, very beautiful area.
This Land is really a peace of Paradies,and d ,,Castle,, is Spectacular renovated. ❤❤❤
rumah antik dengan pemandangan alam yang sangat indah,pertahankan suasana itu bro....keren👍
What an absolute genius. Subscribed!
Carl Rogers... stairmaster! It's so helpful to see how these go together. Thanks for sharing
Wonderful I could have watched that all night long. John from Scotland 🏴
Beautiful work! I'm past the age of doing projects like this, but certainly enjoy watching them done so well. Thanks!
Another beautiful piece of craftsmanship 😁👌👌👌👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
It's a beautiful thing to see all the workmanship of details and perfection.
