...nothing but "Respect" for someone that takes a project literally from one end to the other, ....stump to install...so to say........not done that much anymore. The amount of work is so much more than buying a precut/finished product....but look at the results....walking on masterpiece.........Really enjoy all the logging and milling videos you've done, look forward to seeing the new trailer and hoist in action.......Camera work and narration works well for you.....well done......your wife....what a trooper!....lucky man.
I really like the fact that a few months after you finished the furniture is in but the trim still wasnt down and the outlets didnt have plates. This is how every room in my house is!
+Matthew Cremona Aint nobody got time for that. After all that hard work the last thing I want to do is trim something or fiddle with buying outlet plates. I finally got around to making a built in, open faced towel closet next to the shower stall in my bathroom (a year after I finished the bathroom, which isn't trimmed), and the closet got towels put in it before I could paint or trim it so it's gonna sit like that for a while.
hats off to you, Matt. I'm a veteran wood floor contractor turned wood worker. Not many people would go from standing trees to finisned flooring. Especially using Glitsa ! You will appreciate your hand crafted floor for many years. Looks like you did everything right!
That floor is beautiful.....a great deal of hard work but it sure paid off. I can definitely see why you are so proud of it. Your little dog looks like he enjoyed helping too.
I started woodworking last year SPECIFICALLY so that when my husband and I get a house in about 18 months, I can replace any ugly carpeted floors with handmade wood ones. This video was INSPIRING!
Good job. I like to see young guys, specially a family working together to create their home together from scratch, even though it was just a remodel. It really helps your marriage stay together. Family pride, and teamwork builds value, and equity in a relationship .
You really created something beautiful and timeless. Your great grandchildren will be able to appreciate that floor. The baby is beautiful. Thank you for the video.
Wow Matt!!! That floor is stunning. What a huge amount of work!! It has to be very rewarding to take fallen trees that would otherwise rot in the forest and turn them into a beautiful floor for you home. Great job!!!
Sometimes it looks like you've never worked before! Yet you're able to come up with this these beautiful solutions to every problem you run into. I think you're super intelligent or there's someone behind the scenes advising you. This is a compliment.
Awesome job on you floor! Your videos are exactly the type of videos that made me fall in love with TH-cam. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos and share your creations.
if i have 9 inch wide flooring how many relief cuts should i make? i seen your vid and noticed my pine floor im about to install do not have them . and should i use my dado blade. thanks bro much respect and very inspiring people you too.
OH so beautiful ---- great set of video's ---- your floor looks much more natural than any of the flooring people buy in stores -- I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw your wife (with her baby bump) helping to take the flooring from you ( out of the window) and piling it in the truck --- GREAT JOB young lady and congrats on the young feller --- keep up the great work
Beautiful floor! Those long, [ 6" wide planks], look so much better than anything out of a box. The squared edges without a micro - bevel give the floor a more homogeneous appearance. Funny dog... he took a nap in the middle of the project. Great job, and hats off to your wife. She must have the patience of a saint.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Really like the color and character of the boards and that you were able to space them so they were visible with furniture in the room. Also the patience your wife had with one of her rooms under-construction. Great Job Matt
That is a super job Matt. Pretty much covered the whole thing from soup to nuts. You have made a significant addition to the value of your house. I would estimate you have about 500 hours in that project. Aren't leaf blowers great. Wonderful results. Hardwood does not accumulate dust like carpet so the little helper will have a nice clean surface to crawl on. You are going to enjoy this for a long time. All the best.
hahaha! Thanks Steve. It feels like that many hours but the secretary desk still holds the title for more hours in a single project. I've removed enough carpet in my life to hate it because of how gross it gets
Thank you! I have some patience but more importantly, I know when to take a break from something. That really helps me get through tedious stuff like this.
So much work but so worth it. Every time you walk on that floor with your ankle socks you will smile and feel accomplished :) great vid. And your wife is a sport.
I stumbled across this video right after deciding to make my cabin's floor out of ash sourced from a local sawmill. Great to see the whole process from log to floor and I hope mine turns out half as nice!
I love taking an owners tree and making it into something they can keep as an addition to their home. Also I think it's great that taking a fallen or fresh dead tree and using it for projects, instead of buying cut lumber, free into a project for yourself or the home owner is a awesome thing. Great respect in what you do and how you do......
Excellent compilation of the whole flooring project you did from tree to finished floor! After watching all the original videos as you presented them, it was a lot of work for you, Lindsay and Dema, over a long period of time. Your excellent craftsmanship has produced a beautiful hardwood floor which is enjoyed every time you enter the room!
Fabulous “stump to finished wood” project. My last kitchen was from white oak trees saved from a typical fire wood fate. Felled, Slabbed, dried, planed, dimensioned, mortised and tenonned, or railed and stiled. Sadly the next owners put all that work into a 40 cubic yard dumpster after they moved in. Your work is impressive
Nicely done Matt, no professional floor instaler would ever go to the lengths you demonstrated, very time consuming , and costly if done in the private sector. Work like this is generally reserved for the high end customer who has deep pockets and does not care what it costs. Hat's off.
I own a wood floor company in southeast Michigan. Smithshardwood.com We use festool for everything besides actual large scale sanding procedures. The right tools for the job. We install beautiful unfinished product daily. However. I still have not been able to realize the dream that is to cut down, millI, fabricate, and install flooring from trees from my land in my own house! I am impressed my friend! Congratulations!
Oh man, bacca. I have a love hate with that product. Super rock hard finish but the fumes will kill you. To this day I can still smell it every once in a while. Great job. Have never seen anybody mill, cut, groove/tongue their own floor and then install and finish it. You are very talented.
Excellent chrono-vid of the flooring install. All that hard work paid off - - for many years to come. I'm sure Lindsay shares your admiration for the great job you did. JR's getting big! He's really a cute little guy.
It's really fun going through these old videos. Your wife was working crazy hard on this. :) Beautiful floor. Having bow ties in there is a really cool detail.
This is such a wonderful project. I have been thinking myself of doing something like this and to see someone else do it is inspiring. Good work! I would be curious to hear an update and if you would do anything differently.
Two years ago about the Logosol Timber Jig and it's been one of the best purchases I've ever made. Since I've gotten into woodworking I enjoy the project even more when it goes from trees in the forest to dimensional lumber to finish product and I've done all the work more satisfying.
Wow Matthew....Wow! I have watched all the videos leading up to the install and watching this one and seeing it all come together with such spectacular results was great! Thanks for sharing this whole process.
1) Ash! Now, there is a tree I haven't seen in a long time! 2) Barefoot? Hardcore, dude. 3) Absolutely beautiful. The little cracks and stuff make it unique. Just gorgeous.
That was a ton of work but it turned out better than any flooring you could have gotten at the store. Excellent job with the floors Matt they look awesome.
Another fantastic video. Even my back was hurting watching you lift the previous broken subfloor out. That was the perfect way to get a back injury. Amazing floor in the end and another great video!
Wow, Matthew, what a great project! Your ability to explain tips, tricks, problems, approaches, etc. is greatly appreciated and your passion for the work and attention to detail is inspiring. My son and I have just purchased a sawmill partly based on confidence we gained from watching your videos. As others have said your floors are a masterpiece. Congratulations.
Enjoyed this one very much. looking at buying an older home (most from the 1880s) and was thinking that the ones I've seen have huge gaps and cupping. Would a similar method work if I removed the old wide plank pine and milled them into tongue and grove? I'd account for loss by not doing one of the units (this is a duplex) or by doing tile in bathrooms and kitchens. I love the look of slow growth old pine and it would be a shame to cover it with something else.
What an incredible project. I'm supprised you let anyone walk on the floor with the amount of work you put into it. After all that work, would you do it again? Great work Matt. Simply amazing!
Wow!!! Just wow!!! A crazy standard and amount of work Matt
Thanks!

You forgot to thank your puppy, I saw him getting in the way keeping you company. Great Job.

You really created something beautiful and timeless. Your great grandchildren will be able to appreciate that floor. The baby is beautiful. Thank you for the video.
They will lay carpet over it after they paint it gray
Wow Matt!!! That floor is stunning. What a huge amount of work!! It has to be very rewarding to take fallen trees that would otherwise rot in the forest and turn them into a beautiful floor for you home. Great job!!!
@12:00 it's amazing how still the dog stayed with you rushing around, even when you were moving the floorboards. Sweet to have such a calm puppy.
Sometimes it looks like you've never worked before! Yet you're able to come up with this these beautiful solutions to every problem you run into. I think you're super intelligent or there's someone behind the scenes advising you. This is a compliment.
Awesome job on you floor! Your videos are exactly the type of videos that made me fall in love with TH-cam. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos and share your creations.
Thank you Ryan!
This video absolutely floored me.
Hahahahaha!
Honestly, I can't believe I was the first to make that joke.
I don;t know, i was getting kind of "board"
This is the best Woodworking video/project I've seen on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
if i have 9 inch wide flooring how many relief cuts should i make? i seen your vid and noticed my pine floor im about to install do not have them . and should i use my dado blade. thanks bro much respect and very inspiring people you too.

I just love & admire your CONSTANT cheerful attitude & giggle. Does ANYTHING ever get you down?
Beautiful floor! Those long, [ 6" wide planks], look so much better than anything out of a box.
The squared edges without a micro - bevel give the floor a more homogeneous appearance.
Funny dog... he took a nap in the middle of the project.
Great job, and hats off to your wife.
She must have the patience of a saint.
this is the best documentary of flooring i have ever seen. thank you so much for all information i have seen and learned. job well done
Thank you!
All I can say is your the man. A lot of work but the final product, priceless.
Absolutely incredible. I'm honored my flooring nailer played a small part in such an amazing project. That room is huge!
Thanks again for helping me out with that!!
You are one of my teachers theese days....thanks teach....love in Christ....

insane working on flooring without shoes and your dog is super chill while you do all the work AMAZING!
That is a super job Matt. Pretty much covered the whole thing from soup to nuts.
You have made a significant addition to the value of your house. I would estimate you have about 500 hours in that project. Aren't leaf blowers great. Wonderful results.

Beautiful Job Matt! They turned out great. You may be the most patient person on earth.
Thank you! I have some patience but more importantly, I know when to take a break from something. That really helps me get through tedious stuff like this.
So much work but so worth it. Every time you walk on that floor with your ankle socks you will smile and feel accomplished :) great vid. And your wife is a sport.
Wow from tree to log. Log to boards. Then boards to floor. Very well done!!!!!!
Fantastic work Matt. I can see all the hard work was worth it. The detail of your floor and workmanship was beyond any professional.
Greg
Thank you so much Greg!
helping to move lumber while pregnant. Now that's some dedication from your wife. Great job Mrs. (now Mama) Cremona!!!Great install and video!
She's incredible! Thank you!
Awesome summary on the floor.... Jr loves it and pancake was supervisor for it....Awesome job Matt and Lindsay....
Thanks Robert!
It really is a beautiful floor and knowing exactly where the wood came from makes it so much more special.
You've got considerable knowledge, skill, work ethic and patience - a fantastic combination. Great stuff Matthew.
I stumbled across this video right after deciding to make my cabin's floor out of ash sourced from a local sawmill. Great to see the whole process from log to floor and I hope mine turns out half as nice!
Thanks!!
Awesome work! You’ve got so much on your side. I enjoy your work and dedication.
thanks Mike!
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Hard work and passion pays off.
Thank you Michael!
A+ to your wife for helping while with child!!! The milling of the logs was cool to see.
She's pretty determined. Thanks Greg!!

Thank you so much Matt!
Props to you for the awesome job. Props to your wife for all she did even while pregnant.
+Daniel Perry thank you!
Awesome result and great video! You must be filled with pride every single time you step into that room!
Thank you! Yes, it's my favorite room now :)
This is an incredible video. This redefines hardwood flooring for me.
You and your family should be very proud!
Thank you!
Speechless !!! That was a HUGE project. Fantastic result. The floor looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Your ambition is never ending! That looks incredible!
Thank you Dustin!
Love the fact that you describe everything. Ashwood looks gorgeous !
Thanks!
Oh man, bacca. I have a love hate with that product. Super rock hard finish but the fumes will kill you. To this day I can still smell it every once in a while. Great job. Have never seen anybody mill, cut, groove/tongue their own floor and then install and finish it. You are very talented.
Oh yes, it was a real kick in the face if the respirator came off. Thank you Jarrod!
Excellent chrono-vid of the flooring install. All that hard work paid off - - for many years to come. I'm sure Lindsay shares your admiration for the great job you did. JR's getting big! He's really a cute little guy.
OMG, that was a lot of work. That really turned out nice. Congratulations on a job well done!
Thank you so much Peter!
It's as pretty as a floor can be. Well done Matt!
Thanks Andy!
It's really fun going through these old videos. Your wife was working crazy hard on this. :) Beautiful floor. Having bow ties in there is a really cool detail.
Lucky you. How many people get to know what tree their hardwood floors came from. Very nice!
The way you approach woodworking is something I aspire to do. Truly epic, sir.
Thank you Jacob!
79 haters? This vid is amazing, TH-cam should show their name so everybody can see who you really are.
Totally humbling video and a beautiful family. Keep it up and thanks for sharing the whole journey with us!
Thank you!!!!
This is such a wonderful project. I have been thinking myself of doing something like this and to see someone else do it is inspiring. Good work! I would be curious to hear an update and if you would do anything differently.
Stunning stuff. I like that you went with rift and plain sawn to get the figure.
Oh cute Frenchie too.
Thanks for sharing your floors look amazing. Beautiful family as well.

matthew you work very hard and produce some fine products as well . nice work and video .
1) Ash! Now, there is a tree I haven't seen in a long time!

3) Absolutely beautiful. The little cracks and stuff make it unique. Just gorgeous.
From tree to flooring, simply amazing, great job!
Thank you Harry!
That was a ton of work but it turned out better than any flooring you could have gotten at the store. Excellent job with the floors Matt they look awesome.
Thank you!!!
Another fantastic video. Even my back was hurting watching you lift the previous broken subfloor out. That was the perfect way to get a back injury. Amazing floor in the end and another great video!
It looks fantastic! Wish we had all that machinery .
Wow, Matthew, what a great project! Your ability to explain tips, tricks, problems, approaches, etc. is greatly appreciated and your passion for the work and attention to detail is inspiring. My son and I have just purchased a sawmill partly based on confidence we gained from watching your videos. As others have said your floors are a masterpiece. Congratulations.
Awesome work Matthew. Floor looks amazing
Thank you Randall!
I love this video. This video is why I subscribe and support your channel, you show things in a different light. From tree to finished product.
What a stunning floor Matt. You are amazing.
Thanks Alan!
@@mcremona Your Welcome Matt. You really make my day !
Love this. Very thorough! But Why do you create relief cuts on the bottom?
Enjoyed this one very much. looking at buying an older home (most from the 1880s) and was thinking that the ones I've seen have huge gaps and cupping.

What a great project Matt. Love seeing your little guy growing!
Thanks Jeremy! He's growing really quickly
awesome project. Don't know if it encouraged me or discouraged me to do the same haha. Thanks again for showing me this nice peace of work !
What an incredible project. I'm supprised you let anyone walk on the floor with the amount of work you put into it.
After all that work, would you do it again?
Great work Matt. Simply amazing!
man your wife is a trooper! cool video! oh and cute dog XD
Finally subscribed to your channel after enjoying all of this so much.
Thx, Matt, you're a person of quality.
Kind greetings from Holland

What a beautyful family.Greetings from Bosnia! ❤
Fantastic job mate, well done. The floor looks sensational
+snuggles03 thanks!
Great job man
Turning a tree into floor boards is no joke
thanks!
Much respect, that's one hell of a job. Looks beautiful.
thank you!
Wow, you did an awesome job man! Those butterflies look awesome! Thanks for sharing you amazing work with us!
Thank you!!
Now that is one dedicated building inspector!
Great video! Amazing how all of that time can be condensed into 20 minutes.
This shows off how dedicated you are to wood working! Awesome!
I think it shows how dedicated I am to editing lol thanks Marc!
+Matthew Cremona That too! Two things you hoard (Wood & Video) Both well worth it!
What a fun project and such a moment that first run of oil or sealer.
Awesome flooring. And the great thing is that you will get a kick out of it every time you walk in the room :)
This whole video is savage 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽God grant me the grace to build a house pregnant with no shoes 😩😩😩
It was nice to see the whole process from tree to finished floor. Fantastic video and great work Matt!
Thank you Guy!
Man, that was a beast of a job! I mean, it looked like it. So many memories... I felt like I was getting to know you all over again. (tear)
It was! A little different than watching the vlogs of it slowly progressing ;)
You are amazing!! Stay strong and healthy!!
Greetings from islands of Azores, Portugal.
Thank you!
WOW are you kidding me with that floor? All your hard work definitely payed off.
Thank you!
You've created a brilliant floor.... 👏👏
