Great work

Great job

You have any idea how many cigars and boots it’s gonna take to get that patina back?

This 100% helped

20/1000 of an inch higher bro 😂 2/100, or 1/50th... You measure distance unfathomably lol

Saint Clair

It's called criss cross apple sauce

I assume this can’t be done with engineered floor. (I had some replaced and weaved in only to find out the new boards were about 1 mm taller than the old ones. )

Genuine question from a non-professional - is doing this going to fix the issue or would this ultimately end up being misaligned again eventually?

Actually its more like 32 thousands of an inch. I can tell by that one long dark grain in the middle!

Amazing video. Thank you soo much.. Where can i purchase some of the paint striper you used for the hand rail (Circa 1850)

I agree

Oh it looks like it has all of the original hardware. Are they planning on keeping that as a feature?

Dumb waiter

Are these just for hardwood floors or can’t they be used on decks as well?

I would have just wiped it with lacquer, thinner.

Thanks

Do you stain in just 1 coat? Does it have to have 2 coats at the end? I'm using water based. Thanks

Thank you for this detailed video, we have recently installed new pine floors, in some areas we have begun the staining process, however the stain is not the same color as it should be throughout the space, we now have to re sand the floors, in doing so do we refill with wood filler?

Admirable that they didn't just leave..

Just get a flip

Top 2 youtuber and you're not second. Also love the long videos, very relaxing

I would think 80gr

We just tried using it it doesn’t work for shit it we used it on basic wall paint and the paint barely flakes off we are also really disappointed

Why not just pull up the transition and put it back after? It would be no more than an extra 10 minutes work surely.

haha I thought I was the only one who thought to use Tack cloth! haha

Next time please turn off the sander when recording, it's really hard to listen.

Cool playlist 👏

Awesome video, good job communicating all the little nuances that go into hardwood sanding.I feel like I got three years experience just from watching this.

Just do better on your final cut

Oh, it’s that easy! That’s misleading.

No lap marks?

Yeah so water based doesn't have time to dry to the side of a bucket then attach to the roller. Even doing say a 100sqm that never happens.

First of all: Bummer for anyone who needs to escape from the basement should the stairs be inaccessible. Possible life or death situation. Second, I coat the nosings first then coat from the step (or two) above. Massive pain in the arse, yes. Takes 2x as long than the usual way.

Redinishing floors today. So worried about using a drum sander. Still no definite on whether the floor is quarter sawn pine or fir. Should I stain? Or will it be blotchy? If I just use poly, do I use oil or water based? I do not want shiny floors, something satin would be nice. Thank you for your help!

They leave huge marks even if you do it properly

42:45 you stated 220 surface finish. That meant you sanded with 220 after final coat of polyurethane had dried? Correct?

I am planning on applying a water based poly to my hard wood floor. It was done several years back and I am hoping to add some extra protection and refresh the look. Is it necessary to sand first or can I just apply it directly to the clean floor? Thank you!

I pour lines the same way, much faster, no drips everywhere from dunking, gets a consistent spread. With loba you can absolutely do this, bona is a little pickier about pouring on bare wood

Do i absolutely have to buff the floor after the final sand?

If you're running the drum handle properly you wouldn't have those lines

No buff before first coat of stain?

After the first day, would real wood stairs / railing with this water-based poly feel rough to the touch (like rough wood feeling)? Im wondering if it's because it's a Bona poly with Satin finish? Rather than say a semi-gloss that would feel smoother?

I agree. Useless on wood door!

AMAZING 🤩

Beautiful job! Wow 🤩

I use to do the pour thing but realized it goes between gaps causing too much waste. I never had issues dipping into the bucket which is a method that is also taught by Loba and other manufacturer.

At 8:09 that’s incorrect, let the handle be lose, the machine will level out. You don’t want to be pushing up or down just putting pressure to move in either direction. You have the handle pole tightened

What stain do you use, or what grit or method to you sand to, to get the grain to contrast like this? Seems people get the whole floor too dark to show grain, or the whole floor is lighter including the grain so it doesn't show as much. Type of wood is white oak.

Too much talking and no demonstration
