I respond to 98% of comments, feel free to ask a question. Or better still, tell me if I made sense about the surface areas of the sanders! I Waffle a lot so if you think I did OK let me know lol.
I will probably never sand or refinish a floor in my life but I am here at 5:30am in corona quarantine learning how to do it right and why you do it this way.
So I've been installing,sanding and finishing floors since 1978 and I can tell you. This is an excellent video
Thank you for this. You’ve saved me from ruining 105yr old fir floors with overconfidence I haven’t earned.
That VVVV illustration of sanding peaks and valleys should be a poster in every wood shop and paint shop everywhere
This guy is the real deal!! I do it professionally as well and this guy definitely knows what he’s talking about ! The rest of the guys need to drop the subject cuz they ruining people’s floors 🙄
Really saved my butt- I’m about to rent a drum sander and unfortunately watched a lot of the videos you call “fails” until I came to yours 👍 I’m a believer in not skipping steps if you want the best outcome- thanks for the very helpful info.
Unfortunately Home Depot didn't have any drum sanders available for rental, so I used a finishing sander despite watching several of your videos advising me not to. It took me nearly 10 hours of constant work just to get the floor sanded in a single room. The whole time I was thinking to myself "damn that guy was right"
I'm a professional floor refinisher, and you do very good videos. You've got a good way of presenting the information, and it's the
Ben, you are a life saver. I really really appreciate your fact-based, highly credible explanations. love the whiteboard. Also your willingness in another video of yours to call out the ridiculous stuff that's out there on the internet while somehow not being a jerk about it. constructive criticism is a good thing. the world needs more people like you at the top of youtube searches (which is where i get all of my information / disinformation these days for my myriad DIY projects). i made the mistake of watching somebody else's video that suggested using a square buff, when i was trying to take off multiple coats of paint and shellac primer from a wood floor. the floor laughed at me. then i saw your video and went and got a proper drum sander with 24 grit paper (36 wasn't enough for me). keep being yourself. and please clone yourself if you can.
This is such important information that everyone attempting their own floor work definitely needs to know - Thank you very much!
Following your advices & knowledge I did one of my rooms , came out nice& beautiful! Thank you for been there for us
This is fantastic! I totally would've skipped grits, just because no one's been able to tell me why I shouldn't. I love that you explain the theory behind refinishing. Thank you!
Your breakdown of why it's necessary to step up with grit was excellent. I'd sort of implicitly known this just from doing some woodworking, but hadn't quite grasped the whole peak removal concept behind it. I'm watching the rest of your series and reading your blog before I dive into this myself.
Love the vids man. Been a installer/refinisher for over 12 years. Love the Galaxy and Clark Sanders.
I'm currently remodeling my half bath. It had peel and stick over hardwood and I finally got the adhesive off and am working on sanding it down before finishing it. Thank you for the video, very informative.
F@#$!!!! Why does this video not come up first?!?!?! I literally watched all the videos, rented all the wrong equipment (in the wrong order anyways) before finding this one. What a waste of 8 hours.... found this and literally sanded my floor the right way in about 2..... I wish UA-cam could filter out all the crap and get quality to show up first. Thanks a ton!!!!
This is great information that I wished I found sooner. Unfortunately I've sanded my floors already where I have skipped some grit and did not use a square buff to even out the marks. Oh well, you live and you learn. Thanks for the content.
You're an excellent teacher, I can actually envision the procedures as you describe them..probably because I have witnessed this process before but I did not personally use the equipment..if only we had virtual "hands on" !!
Fantastic video! I loved the explanation of how grit skipping ultimately pans out. Great job, and THANKS!
