- Once again, a journeyman builder tries his hand at sanding, but once again, it doesn't go well. Check out my resand of this gem of a floor hidden under a dented old dirty surface.

I worked as a parquet and floor layer in Germany for 10 years. We used exactly the same tools as you and proceeded in exactly the same way as you. I've seen many youtube videos about sanding parquet floors. In my eyes, your videos with your approach and results are considered exemplary. Nice to see that you reach such a high level of quality. This work looks easy as a spectator, but requires a lot of practice until you achieve a respectable result. Every floor is different. This is where you can see who has experience and that comes at a price. Keep up the good work!
Sanding on the angle flattens the floor. Second sanding is with the grain is done with a finer grit sand paper to remove sand scratches.
It never gets boring watching a pro work.
40 years of doing finish carpentry and I didn't know a pneumatic nailset was a thing. Nice work!
I thought it obvious that you sanded diagonally to remove the cupping of the boards so that the floor ends up flat, rather than corrugated in the direction of the boards.
Just one word Meticulous
That floor went from hideous to being the nicest feature in the room.
What a pig's ear the first sanding was' Diagonal sanding levels all the high spots 👌
Beautiful work that highlights the difference between half-assed and half-finished. Half-assed being a state where half the work is done and the person believes they are finished. Half-finished being a state where half the work is done, the person wipes the sweat off, maybe takes a break and then rolls their sleeves back up to get the job done.
I already know why you sand diagonally......because I already watched that video. 🤣 Really nice work. How long did it take from unloading to cleanup, hours I mean. You could say it took 2 days but you worked 12 hours each day.
Since it can take a couple of days till the floors are finished it is super important to store the dust bags outside of the house, if they aren't disposed right away, as they are self inflammable. Every cloth that came into contact with the oils should be dunked in water too.
The first sanding marks clearing up the unevenness, so satisfying!
Can't say enough how good it is to see someone take pride and doing a great job. Taking time to share that knowledge is a real gift. Thanks for the video and here's hoping the holiday's treated you well.
Very enjoyable to watch a skilled craftsman doing a job properly. All of the small details reveal that you have experience and you care enough to do it well for you clients. Well done.
Random. Not sure why this video was recommended. BUT Bravo. This is exactly the process of how we sand floors except for 2 things: We use a Canterbury after the drum sanding (use exactly the same Hummel) and in the corners use a scraper rather than a delta orbital. Not sure why the whole diagonal thing is a surprise, it's the only way to flatten a floor. Oh dear, the number of floors we fix where someone has left the whole floor rippled. Nice job.
Beautiful restoration, and working in your socks is always a plus. Sad people try to say they can do a job, when they know they can't. Just glad there are more people around with your skills.
Top notch! Been following for a while. Don’t let anyone downplay your approach and craftsmanship. So much to learn out of your examples and not just for flooring or any trades in general but as simple life philosophy. All the best from across the pond. 👊
It doesn't get much better than that. Nice workmanship. Keep on smiling.
Just loved watching this true craftsman at work. How delightful was that floor when finished. 🙂
Using nails straight through the Oak, that is a crime in itself, and those steps would have caused my boss to bury me under the flooring. We always used porter nails as they gave a better finish and you did not have a chance of nails slowing drawing themselves up out of the floor. Still each to their own I'm sure (I know you did not do the original job so not criticising you Sir). You really did a beautiful job there, what I would have given for those sanders, we were olde school on your knees with a flatbed sander, and a world of pain for anything from 4 hours to 12 hours of out of body experience (once over 48 hours on two floors that had to be finished for a shop). Honestly the pain was worth it after the osmo went on. Thank you for sharing your work.
