- The wood floor refinishing failures are abundant on UA-cam, and since the last FAILS video I did was so successful, I thought I had better do another one, and thank goodness I did because I think this one is twice as good as the last one!

this is exactly how to sand your floor by yourself, right before you have to call a professional to come redo it all.
I just spent 25 minutes watching a video on how to NOT sand/ finish hardwood floors. I don't even have hardwood floors, nor do i plan on getting hardwood floors. That's how entertaining this was! Thank you! Lol.
Committed DIYer here. After doing about 800 square feet of NEW solid hardwood in 3 separate projects over 10 years, using various time-consuming approaches, I’m convinced floor sanding and refinishing are jobs for a GOOD professional who cares. The trick is finding one in a job landscape where you cannot even find framers who can build a simple wall square. A video showing failed pro selections would be amusing.
I think if these people are happy with their floors, then let them be. The problem is when they are claiming that it is how to do the floor. As with my channel, I share my experiences and my projects, and then I ask for advice with what I did wrong and how to do things better. I use it as a learning tool and hopefully make a few people laugh at my inexperience. I think it's important not to mislead people when doing these types of videos.
I’ve noticed there’s a huge disconnect, between ppl with perfect or better vision (like myself) and people who wear glasses - hire a painter that wears glasses, when you see perfect & you will be sad
I can't watch this anymore All wrong 43 years sanding floors
Sometimes you need to embrace the fact the floor is not and may never be perfect. If you desire a perfect floor and have the money, then hire a pro (may even require putting down a new floor). I've seen many examples of great looking floors done by DIY'ers, but there are always the bad examples by "expert" UA-camrs (as you show).
The thing that gave me the most confidence in sanding my own floors is that even these people who have zero idea what they are doing the floor doesn't end up looking THAT bad. I'm taking a lot of care and time with it.
Moral of the story, dont get tips from people who paint over their outlet covers ... with CERULEAN BLUE.
I appreciate you not being so nasty with the DIY floor finishers in this one like you were in the first one. Constructive criticism is always better.
I love the irony of the sign in the first guy’s shop.. “work hard, need nothing” and goes on to say “I could have sanded for another 8 hours but I didn’t want to do that” 😂😂
I've done hardwood a few times (incorrectly at that) seeing common mistakes is way more helpful than just the "do it like this" videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise with the plebs!
We bought a house and pulled all the carpet, I've been using a home depot drum sander, the drum is not awesome but using the techniques from your videos the floor is flat and smooth, I'm not Saying that I didn't make mistakes but you've helped me identify them and make corrections, my wallet and I thank you bro , the floors look great, thank you very much , THE BEST FLOOR FINISHING VIDEOS ON UA-cam
I wish I would have found this before I sanded the two apts I just did... this format is so much more practical to gaining skill than videos showing success. thank you
I had to refinish a floor about as bad as the second one recently as a DIY out of necessity and I thought I did a terrible job until I saw this lol. Thanks for all the videos!
Yeah I think your critique of their videos help me to understand this so much. I'm not sure if you kept making videos like this over the year but this is a brilliant idea!
From one specialist to another… you rock! I hope you keep up the content! Also, it is refreshing to see someone close in age doing what I do, close to how I do it!
Great video Ben! Watched quite a few of your videos. I am a DIY'er and tackled a very challenging job this weekend, but can clearly see how much paying close attention to the details and doing this properly is paying off. I am 1/2 way through the job and it looks like I am going to end up with a beautiful result. (no really :) ). I was an aircraft mechanic when I was younger and a rule you learn is that you MUST use the right tools for the job (always) and there is no substitute for experience. :) Thanks and all the best.
I’ve sanded floors using the larger floor sander I borrowed from a buddy of mine. He upp the horsepower on his machine with a higher HP motor. Starting at 60 grit up to 160 I believe, it’s been a few years so I may be off. After sanding I vacuumed and then edged. Following that I used his large blending sander. There was a learning curve to control the sander but what a difference. This is what I never see in any of these videos. I kept the floors natural with a poly sealer applied with a lambs woolskin applicator. Turned out spectacularly . It’s time consuming but very satisfying.
Awesome Video. You are an excellent Commentator and professional! This was very needed to help me learn to do the very best I can in someones home.
