As a floorboard myself I approve of this video
you're a floorboard?
is it only me who thinks it looks better when its just sanded
That sanding dust and resin mixture looks delicious!
I was going to pay hundreds of dollars on laminate to cover my ugly sanded floors but now I know I can just stain and lacquer it’s such a relief.
A cracking job & finish guys 😎🙌
beeing in the business 55 plus yrs. you never go 90 degrees to the boards. The proper way is on a 20 to 35 dehree angle both left and right then with the same direction of the floor. Going across the boards the sander will move up and down with the cupping.
I agree, totally unprofessional.
No pros at all. Hence the cross cut and chatter in the finished product
Nice video, great attention to detail! 👍
Very nice video. Thank you for taking the time to make and post. Just subscribed
You should show this video to a Lagler specialist and watch them cringe when you run the Hummel at a 90 degree angle. 22.5 to 40 degrees is the max you should run to get the boards flat. The cross-grained marks are so prominent in the stain and in the finish coats. 24 to 150 grit is great. Typically what should be done is 40/60/80/100/120.
I do this work weekly and this video still gives me nightmares as to how they did it.
I was looking for this comment. I've only seen cross cutting done professionally once, on a house where they didn't want the floors' replaced but had nearly 1/4" deep rot to be removed. So cross cut, but not 90 degree, only 45... floor came out amazing, I'm still mind blown by it.
Tremendous John! Perfect timing as I’ve got my bedroom floor on my “honey do list”. Great hints and tips as always 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
Hi Rob hope you are all well glad you enjoyed the video all the best Tony 👍 have awesome week
Thanks Tony, all good up here in Edinburgh. Keep the great content coming my friend. Maybe some form of stair renovation? I have to sand back, stain or paint then carpet the centre of my stairs with grass rods.
The floor looks absolutely amazing it’s so beautiful great job stay safe 👍👍👍😀
Thanks for watching Isabel! 👍
After a long stressful day on site I must admit I really enjoyed that. Again the attention to detail is key 👏
Hey dude hope you guys are all well your flooring of the loft first floor video was awesome keep up the great content all the best Tony 👍 well have to catch up soon
Great video! Looking to do the same in Australia with an old house. In the first part of the video you showed wedging together the boards. Is this only for repairing some boards or were all boards lifted, wedged and nailed back in? Thanks
I have been trying to find a video just like this. We ripped out all the old carpeting and flooring over the old floorboards non are damaged and looking to do this to all of the flooring in my house and all we have are floor boards. This is incredible! I subscribed to your channel ☺️ This just made my day ❤️
Seriously.... Find more videos.
The results are horrendous and the methods are wrong from start to finish.
@@COLDSUDDENFURY first and foremost I think they did a great job and I don't even know why your commenting or, what they or I did to you 😕
@@jacquelynharper3659
Why I'm commenting? It's a social media platform with a comment section 🤔... why are you commenting... Pretty strange question. Why does anyone comment 🤷♂️
Do you only approve of comments along the lines of, or that affirm your own views?
What they have done to me? What you've done to me?
Why do you instantly jump to the conclusion my comment (that suggests finding other videos), is hostile?
The men in this video, Sanding this floor, have done an absolutely terrible job. The results are extremely poor - and the methods employed are haphazard and lazy.
I can tell you this for certain, because refinishing wooden floors is my business - and has been for more than 18 years.
If I'd competed this job - and left results like this as a finish, I'd expect not to be paid.
@@COLDSUDDENFURY I never said you didn't have a right to comment but my question is why then are you commenting telling me that this was done poorly when you should have commented on the regular platform of the people who posted the video telling them instead of telling me? You seem upset for some weird reason like as if I was the one who posted the video. Thats what I am trying to tell you.
@@jacquelynharper3659
I have commented on the main thread 😉
I was simply advising you to seek alternative videos on how to sand floors, because you appear to be under the impression this video is a guide to follow in your own home. It is not! ... If you follow the example of this video with a hire standard sander, not only will you end up with extremely poor results, but you may damage the boards beyond repair. The man in the video is using a lagler hummel - and even with that machine, he hasn't managed to remove the lines he's made by Sanding across them.
If you would rather argue about semantics rather than take advice, go ahead and sand your floorboards as shown here 🤷♂️
Good luck 🤞
Hey - great video!!
Could I ask what you would advise using on a recently sanded pine floor? I don’t know whether I’m better to use a stain or a varnish. I’m worried there may be slight scuff/sanding marks and have read that staining will highlight these.
In addition regardless of whether I choose a stain or a varnish should I use a laquer?
Thanks for your help and the video was great!!
Bit curious why you didn’t use an extension pole when staining with the roller, also not punching the nails?
Having seen the floor firsthand before and after I’m still amazed how fantastic it turned out ,well done guys
Thanks Chris coming from a true craftsman in decorating much appreciated all the best Tony 👍 have awesome week
Any tips for when there is a suspended floor and the gaps are to a void. How to fill said gaps ?
They didn't have extension poles where you bought those rollers?
Saying stay safe at the end then seeing how the video was uploaded in 2020, how time flies
What’s the best mask to use for sanding?
Hi guys, what is the tool called when you pushed the board close to the other one then put the nail in?
Another fantastic project professionally tackled.
Thanks g k top Guy’s John and his team who do are floor’s all the best Tony 👍
How long until you can place furniture on this finish?
Great Job 👍 how long did it take ?
Hey, great video! Looking to recreate something with a place we just bought. Do you happen to have a list on the machinery and the coats, lacquers you used? Thanks :)
I don't know why most of youtubers think people love the loud background music. The music only interferes and annoys.
I think they’ve done a great job. Things I would do different; I understand going against the grain to really get into the wood, but in my opinion I would never do that, it my cause too much damage to the wood and if your not careful vibration marks through the sander. Roughest sandpaper grit I would use is 40, anything more then that it will rip into the boards too much. I’ll also apply the stain with a rag not a roller.
That’s only the first run. On the second sanding run he goes with grain using a finer grit. He explained that the first pass is to even out the boards and remove deep scratches.
Looks like a lot of divots on the left of the room where the sander has been bounced. You only see this on the long shot of the room and the close ups all look flat which had me questioning what I was seeing but it’s visible in several shots
Great video, stunning result! Looking to do the same here John but wanting to insulate under floor to lessen the draft, would you recommend it? Cheers!
Hi Jennie yes if you can all the best Tony 👍
And also what would you guys suggest for the cracks between the boards? first acryl then coating?
What to do if there are regular nails that you cant hammer down any further? I could only sand my floor with the boards so obviously i didnt get a flat floor
Nail setter or Dremmel tool
Great work!
Hi Shahzad much appreciated all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Roll on stain without wiping some of it off with rugs?!
Doing all this by hand this week wish me luck…
Stunning job!! Do you think this is something only a professional would be able to do properly? Thanks
Seen many DIYer do there own floor and higher the machines
How's the lads,yet again I take my hat off to you guys,no corners cut and a outstanding job. the clients must be over the moon with the finish 1st rate job 👍
Thanks Andy have a awesome week 👍
Hello, I didn’t really understand the grit paper part- what different grits did he use & when to use them? What was the order of the paper used.. thank you!
40grit very coarse then 60grit less coarse then 40 80grit less coarse than 60 and so on and so on
40 grit first
@@BuildWithAE so 40, 60, 80, 60, 40, 60, 80?
Why does it have waves in it?
Because its a lousy snading job. Imagine paying for that?
Did you insulate under the floor boards, if so how?
Client did in cellar
Stunning. Loving the quality as always guys
Thanks Matt have a awesome week 👍 all the best Tony
Great job.
Cheers bud! 👍
Some people say to go diagonal first. What are your thoughts on this?
That's what I got taught at trade school. Diagonal first cut, then opposite angle diagonally with a higher grit, then up and down the board with highest grit. Having said that if it works for him, then he may as well keep doing it.
Don't forget to countersink your nails before sanding or they'll rip your sanding belts off.
Great job looks really nice . Why did you guys not do that job yourself if you don’t mind me asking.
Hi Kenny I suppose we could of, a few reasons why not, work load it’s sometimes impossible to do everything, John and his team are amazing craftsman and has a passion for what he does which shines out in his floor’s thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
very nice ,makes laminated flooring look cheap,
It is.
Clearly at the end ,the spaces between the fllorboards are not filled flush. The voids will fill with whatever falls on the floor once in real use: dust. dirt, spilled food, pet hair. The resin/sawdust mix was obviously incompetently appled.
Who doesn't love a good bit of old wood, lavished with quality oil?
Thanks bob have a awesome week 👍
What a great job, looks really good..... a master class in floor renovation.
Thanks Niall have a awesome week 👍
Looks the dogs danglys 👌🏻
Thanks Jake 😂👍
Looks great although make sure the customers puts in insulation (semi rigid preferably) between joists underneath if it's ground floor, otherwise it could get mighty draughty in the winter.
Hi Andrew,
This is very true! But never fear, we've already done it 😁
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
Looks sweet
Thanks for watching Saxon 👍
You guys.. sanding perpendicular to the planks is a terrible idea. The drum will roll with any cupping in the planks instead of planing. A 45 degree pass is the way to plane
This is horrific!
I'm surprised on three fronts really.
1) You chose this as an example of your work to show the wider public.
2) You've made a tutorial video on a subject you're clearly lacking knowledge - and practical skills in.
3) You were paid by the client, for what looks worse than most DIY attempts I've come across 👎
Can you run this sander on a hairy chest?
Woodprix has a very large project base.
If you want, you can learn how to do it with Stodoys woodworking plans.
The opening shots show how terribly this floor has been done. The colour and sheen are beautiful but the avoidable damage to the boards explains why elsewhere on UA-cam this video is an example of a "How not to". My 100 year old floors have original saw marks, but that may be "character". Here, the blemishes are obviously caused by the sander.
is this a video on how not to sand stain and seal old floorboards terrible finish
Never cross sand at 90°, 45° maybe little more. Just setting yourself up for go back and fix it.also no such thing as a level floor, not that he said it, but I've heard quite a few guys say that. Best you can get is smooth and even. Only so much wood can be sanded off.
It looked terrible at 0:20 but so much worse at 4:48.
