Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
If I'm working on a car it's a safe bet I'm using knowledge I got from my dad. But if I'm working around the house or doing any woodworking, there's just as good of a chance that whatever I'm doing I'm using knowledge I got from this show and most often from this man or Norm. Unless of course it's plumbing then we know where that came from...
Push stick should be closer to the blade than the fence of the table saw, but Tommy was on the receiving end making sure it didn’t twist and then kick back. He partly corrected the fellow on the second rip.
Yea I don't really get the point of faking the gap instead of just ripping the board into two. A real gap would've looked a little nicer and they could've staggered the boards for like barely any extra effort
The holes are tiny, just cover them..I'm in philly, I use a piece of copper cap, If you've been doing remodeling for decades, you always have some old patinated copper laying around...Make a square to cover the hole, cut the corners off glue it in...
@@godbluffvdgg Yeah I don't know why they took out the radiators. I know my dad doesn't that to his rental properties to cut down on maintenance cost.
I wonder if the homeowner knows that royalty helped him with his repair? I have a Tom Silva bobblehead in my shop. I touch it for good luck every time I do a project.
Most of the wood I pulled out of my 1920 house split like a mother, so incredibly dried out. I wish I could have tried to save what was left of the HW T&G from the screened in porch, but it just was not in the time or energy budget
Hey Gents, Thank you so much for the awesome content. Any proven idea, how to fix a cca d: 1,5 cm, 2-3 mm deep hole/damage in a laminated floor panel (at a very visible point), when neither you, nor the stores have any (not even similar) of those laminated floor patterns? Thank you so much in advance.
Whoa, so when he was talking about mixing the satin finish, he said to stir it slowly so as not to create bubbles because the bubbles will transfer to the finished product? How does that work? I've definitely not been following that rule before, with some outdoor furniture I built for my patio. Hell, I used to mix the can by shaking up and down :/
i follow alot of the shows you guys do but must admit i was shocked when i saw you using a table saw without the riving knife on it. I think that is one of the biggest safety features that are absolutely needed. i dont usually mock people but you should always always use the riving knife on a table saw. Safety on those saws are the biggest things.
Tom is my hero. He’s amazing and taught me loads BUT this was a horrible patch. Tom, what happened?? The score line didn’t line up to convince us it was two boards. You should have ripped two boards and staggered that one big butt join. Shame. Tom is so so much better than this.
I would like to add a wine holder on a small wall. With laminate flooring and brackets. Will you help me. You can make a video out of it. Let me know DM me.
I know the homeowner and I asked because I too was curious. I'm happy to report back he followed the instructions given. The patch looks great. He also went on to patch some other holes in his house.
With all that been going on the past few years how insignificant do these holes seem? Guys worried his baby he gave birth to will fall down the hole… Jesus.
What if a person has a wood leg & it gets damaged, how do you fix that ? Do you put a stain on it or do you paint it with a primer first & put semi - gloss on it ?🤔
ummm, why aren't we removing pieces from an area like a closet to use for the patch pieces? I know it's more work but you will NEVER match the color of a stained floor w/ different wood & new stain.. never
Many of the projects that ask toh does are things that shop classes and trade schools teach, but the students got into computing and other things unrelated, and can't do simple projects for themselves.
Tommy is just such an awesome instructor. I feel like he could make anyone not only a fully qualified carpenter, but a better person, haha.

" Old carpenters don't die,they just blend away into the cracks of the floorboards"!! Thanks for sharing Tom!!
👍🧙♂️!
I wish I had had a Master like Tommy to teach me all those years ago. I had to learn the hard way lol
Tommy is such a good fellow.
My gosh, Tommy is such a good teacher
I love how Tommy is like “I had just the right board laying around…”
Tommy I hope you read the reviews…. I LOVE watching you work what a pro
TOH does such a great job of proving real information in a way that isn't overly dramatic and fake! It's so refreshing compared to similar shows
and they prove you don't need to go out and spend $$$ just to get a perfect matching finish.
It occurred to me as I was redoing my kitchen floor that all I know came from Tommy and Norm. Thank you both.

Geez, this guy is a national treasure.
I loved teaching people how to use power tools. Empowering.
A true Craftsman Tom Silva is.
Tom Silva is a true master craftsperson!
Craftsman. Come on now.
Not on this occasion. That patch looks dreadful.
He’s so much better than this.
Videos like this help me justify the sky high fees I pay to be a "This Old House" UA-cam subscriber. 😁
You mean people pay for this free information?
Tommy saves old nails too?!? Ok, I don’t feel so bad about it now. hahaha. Great video!
wonderfull maintaining these old houses , and also our great teacher mr tom as always making clever remarks
Tom's got a great personality , ie. ' I'm too cheap ! &. ' hit it like you hate it !
Tom Silva is amazing!
Tom put this guy to work! More than others haha.

The home owner did a good job with Tommy’s perfectionist help
Tom Silva is the best
The only thing i would have done differently is i would've stepped the end joint so the two joints didn't line up.
Yea I don't really get the point of faking the gap instead of just ripping the board into two. A real gap would've looked a little nicer and they could've staggered the boards for like barely any extra effort
And add shim, it was higher on one side and lower on the other side. Not exactly butting against current floor.
I agree that looks like 💩
@@sofiep7861 ... I have used shims of tar paper or roofing felt to match floorboards.
Same thought I had.... seems I always notice irregularities like that...
i was waiting for the scream after he hammered his own hand 7:58
"So--have you ever used a cross cut saw like this before?"
"Uh, lighty, yeah."
Sure you have, bud. 😉 Sure you have. 😅
Looooool.
Always splendid info
You are not cheap : it was the good thing to do !
take matching wood out of a closet and do the repair patch in the closet where nobody will see it.
oh man, look at that staircase, that looks so nice.
1:00 1:01 p
😅p 1:44 😅
Ole pops to the rescue .
The holes are tiny, just cover them..I'm in philly, I use a piece of copper cap, If you've been doing remodeling for decades, you always have some old patinated copper laying around...Make a square to cover the hole, cut the corners off glue it in...
If the hole is the right size, you can glue in a piece of closet pole then saw it flush and sand it.
@@rupe53 That'll work too!
Or you can do it the right way.
@@uncouthboy8028 New heating system?
@@godbluffvdgg Yeah I don't know why they took out the radiators.
I know my dad doesn't that to his rental properties to cut down on maintenance cost.
Tommy is the best !!!
Does Tommy know his hat has signal flags for Whisky Tango Foxtrot?
I think it would look better with 2 individual boars cut to different lengths so that the joints are staggered.
probably can't find a nailer for a short board. Old houses aren't 16 in on center
I wonder if the homeowner knows that royalty helped him with his repair? I have a Tom Silva bobblehead in my shop. I touch it for good luck every time I do a project.
looks really good!

This home owner looks handy😂
5:53 brilliant
Well done men!
1 man and a clueless boy
you the best old man
Tom is awesome
😂 If this guy says "okay" one more time 😂😂
okay
Great work.
How do you match the stain?
That table saw made me nervous
Hey Gents,

I love the ‘WTF’ hat hahaha!
Love it 😍
That homeowner was super awkward around a saw!😅
I was waiting for Norm to jump out from the bushes and break this guys back for being so unsure of himself on the table saw.
Yes. And come up with a jig to cut one board perfectly.
Whoa, so when he was talking about mixing the satin finish, he said to stir it slowly so as not to create bubbles because the bubbles will transfer to the finished product? How does that work?

👍👍👍👍👍👍 Tommy Silva 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I want to do this! TEACH ME TOH!
I wonder if Tommy has ever used an old curved bottom flooring saw before they came out with oscillating tools.
tommy: "I just want it to look like there was water damage here where the radiator used to be."
Hit it like you hate it! HAHAHA
Dutchman? Thanks Tommy.
End grain to end grain butt joint needs biscuits or a spline
Does anyone recognize the brand finish they are using?
Rustoleum
Like your work Tommy great job God bless you
9:48 ahahah! Good for him !
About the only manual labor that homeowner has done before involved stirring a martini.
Good stuff.. but couldn't you have sanded it outside ?and darkened the line then sanded the top then done the varnish
Nice video...
But was with this guy playing pocket pool the whole video?
His hat says WTF!
He called Tom Silva and got Norm Abram.
"Hit it like you hate it"
times up on this craft
4:22 Clean that nasty saw blade.
I would need painters tape on the floorboards
Hello

I think that is one of the biggest safety features that are absolutely needed. i dont usually mock people but you should always always use the riving knife on a table saw.

Usually removed for TV so people can see what’s happening
Only person deserving mockery is you hoss
Dan, take your hands out of your pockets.
7:33 I bet they lose so many cameras doing this.
Tom is my hero. He’s amazing and taught me loads
BUT this was a horrible patch.
Tom, what happened??

Looks like the only thing this guy made in his life is money. But that’s ok, TOH has his back. Great repair as always Tom.
I want Tommy teaching other stuff as well. Tommy teaching programming would be great.
I need a WTF hat!!
Tommy, too cheap to buy new nails after using his $600 oscillating saw.
Tale says homeowner had a racoon in the pocket
What’s the odds this guy followed Tommy’s instructions?
I know the homeowner and I asked because I too was curious. I'm happy to report back he followed the instructions given. The patch looks great. He also went on to patch some other holes in his house.
Tommy is getting a bit spicy has he gets older
Why wouldn't you just put in two Dutchmen pieces . Or at least actually use two boards and stagger the joints.
take pieces of matching wood out of a closet then do the patch in the closet.
With all that been going on the past few years how insignificant do these holes seem?
Guys worried his baby he gave birth to will fall down the hole… Jesus.
Reusing nails. Must be how Tommy saved so much to buy those Festools.
@@Kevin-mp5of Of course! He had to work with Bob Villa so he deserves it!
Came out a little poopie in the corner there.
One more thing take your hands out of your pockets
What if a person has a wood leg & it gets damaged, how do you fix that ? Do you put a stain on it or do you paint it with a primer first & put semi - gloss on it ?🤔
I'm just yanking your chain Tommy , nice job my friend !!! 👍🤣🤣🤣
"my wife and I had a baby"
"I used it lightly " that means no tommy.
STHU Biden
Banker with six fingers
I definitely would not have let that guy touch the table saw
The owner pushed the wrong side of the board when he's ripping it down at the table saw. what he did will have a serious risk of kickback
ummm, why aren't we removing pieces from an area like a closet to use for the patch pieces? I know it's more work but you will NEVER match the color of a stained floor w/ different wood & new stain.. never

Hit it with your purse next time.
God i hate watching this generation of fem men try and do things.
God i hate reading the older generation of insecure men try to overcompensate for their insecurities.
