@Welshwazza ⚠️ God has said in the Quran: 🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 ) 🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) 🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) 🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) 🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) ⚠️ Quran
I just looked at that wall and it was a beautiful thing! 😮 That also explained to me why the French houses are that color (love it)! You folks flipping rock!
Carl just to help you and your father in plastering! He puts it on the wall as a left hander but uses his right hand in reverse. Tell him to always start in the top left corner when putting on or even rubbing up. It takes all the lines out as you go and its easier when taking it off the hawk as well. Also tell him to get it flatter go up and down in two motions each time applying the material of choice. Also to get less sticking in the mixer jack up the rear two legs with a block and it will mix faster cleaner and less effort. Keep up the great work. You’re both living a dream of mine to restore a foreign house. All the best (a plasterer of 15+ years)
I've been building for 35+ years,, staircases are by far the most nerve wracking, and difficult job you can do, not having square walls just complicates it even further. Nice job!! from an old New England, carpenter.
The phrase "Impressive craftsmanship" falls short when describing what this channel offers in the way of building. Artistry comes close but still short changes what is taking place. Once again Carl, thanks for sharing this journey.
Carl, dad's comment "You are not trying to knock it into next week" make me larf and cry at the same time as I could hear my own dad 20 years ago saying just that sort of thing. Great job on that staircase and your old man is a whiz at lime rendering.. almost like he has done it before!
Incredible effort again gents, your carpentry skills definitely went up another level this time.... Btw, that's a brilliant photo of you and your Old Man!
I see words like: craftsmanship, masterpiece and similar in the description… add to that: amazing bit of artisanship and a bloomin’ brilliant job. You could frame that staircase and hang it on a wall… oh, you just did. Really nice work.
its such a joy to watch your videos. the craftsmanship, the relationship with your parents, the history of the house... and combined with just a great edit, voice-over, a bit of humor... thank you!
Amazing production quality as always, well worth the irregular upload schedule. So much better than folks pushing videos just to feed the algorithm. I particularly enjoyed the teaser for the landing door, can’t wait to learn what it’s hiding!
Superior workmanship done with limited materials, tools and labourers. Brilliant how beautiful and sturdy these new stairs and landings are. They will last centuries as well or better than the originals👍🏻
My Grandfather was a Master Carpenter, and I am quite sure he would have placed an arm around your shoulder and told you how proud he was of you. Not only are you a Master Carpenter, but you are dedicated, articulate (translating carpentry terms for those across the pond) and fastidious in your endeavors. BRAVO Carl. Your parents must be very proud of you. Donald Price
Love your videos, and know as well as any other builder that there's a "do as I say, not as I do" approach to safety. But I feel that since I care about you guys, and much appreciate the work you're doing, I must remind you of the importance of wearing protective eye gear when you mix lime. It's highly alkaline, and getting that in your eyes can render you blind. I work with lime, and have burns from it on my hands and arms. One of my building friends, Caroline (from France, as it happens), has permanent eye damage on one eye from lime dust while mixing without proper glasses, a 40% reduction, if memory serves. Take care, and good luck with the rest of the renovations!
When critical measuring is required before risking scarce materials on this scale, particularly in a difficult to reach place, try making a template out of cheaper materials such as low-cost boards as used in concrete forming.
Or even several layers of cardboard glued together makes a really stiff pattern making material. If you have a large convention center near you, they throw out thousands of foam core signs after each convention ends, which can be scavenged from the dumpster and used for pattern making, they are really stiff, especially if you can find the stuff that is 1/2" or 3/4" thick. Plus it's free, and free is always the best price.
I think you can safely say you left base camp with the stair rebuild. Doing the trimmings I always found to be the best part. Also of course the stringer inset into the wall is pretty common at least years ago in traditionally built houses. Lovely post. Thank you.
It is amazing how Carl and his Dad make very challenging tasks look so easy. It is a testament to their skills and their talents. The staircase is looking great. Mr Rogers did a smashing job with the render. Very enjoyable video. Thanks and take good care!
"Mr. Rogers" made me giggle. Until you typed that I hadn't thought about the fact that Carl and his dad are both Mr Rogers and that their environ is Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Mr. Rogers the elder seemed to get more deft with his touch with the trowel. The little differences between Her Majesty's English and the American version makes me smile. Two countries separated by a common language.
@@That70sChannel Well, I knew Carl's name of course, but I did not rcall ever hearing Carl's dad's name. When I typed Mr. Rogers, I thought, "I do hope he is not offended", as I meant no disrespect at all. Hopefully Carl and his dad can see the unintended humor.
Nice save, using the clamps to avoid starting from scratch. Watching this channel I am reminded of an epic novel I read by Ken Follet, "Pillars of the Earth", and the craft and artisanry that went into building cathedrals in medieval Europe. I cannot escape the notion that what you and your awesome Dad do, has been ongoing for more than a thousand years, fathers passing down to their sons the secrets of their craft. How awesome is that? Thanks for this extraordinary channel. A labor of love. Cheers.
Beautiful lime/red sand rendering of that stairwell wall. Congrats. I'll bet that you both slept well that night! Good to see that old newel post being reused.
Your channel has become one of my favourites, really get excited when you've got a new video to share .Loving your work ,that place is going to be spectacular when finished and all done traditionally and not with loads of new building materials or off the shelf stuff. Keep up the good work.
Every time I watch a video, I get surprised at how beautiful your work is, and I already KNOW it’s beautiful. Why am I surprised? You both rock. So much. You’re my favorite.
4:40 that is a beautiful moment! And, your dad seems like an awesome guy. I've noticed his clever use of clamps and ratchet straps to solve all kinds of problems. These projects together must be really fulfilling. Beautiful craftsmanship, both of you!
I was watching him fixing around that old door and was thinking "I wonder when or if they are going to restore that door and where does it go?" Then you read my mind. I love to restore old wood items, that feeling when you lay on the new stain or oil and see the wood just show its real colors and grain. It's simply magic.
Great video. I used to enjoy making wooden staircases at work, softwood, Oak and Walnut you name it. I'm a joiner by trade but i had to give it up due to ill health, I miss it. Take care.
I’m very impressed, wonderful work. I bought an old wreck of a house in the Paris area in 1987 and fixed it up over the years (with help). I still live there in L’Hay-les-Roses 8km from Notre Dame in a lovely house with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It’s much more accepted and common here to fix up places with much less problems with planning depmartments and jobsworths like I remember in the UK. As for you having to go back to the UK because of brexshit what a clusterfuck that is eh, I took French nationality in 2003 which was the best thing I ever did since coming here in 1982 - something to consider perhaps, vous seriez le très bienvenu mon ami parmi nous 😁
oh look, a nation wanting to be sovereign and not led by non elected power hungry bureaucrats in brussels, what a shock, we should have kicked them to the curb years ago when they pushed passed their remit of free trade agreements
Been on some courses recently at Cornish Lime for rendering, plastering and pointing in lime (I'm an interested home owner, not a tradie!) and they sell St Astier NHL. They couldn't emphasise enough that gauging the mix properly using buckets or similar is so crucial when using lime. The also favour forced action mixers where available as they really speed up the process but a good old Belle works just as well with a bit more time! Bit surprised you PVA'd it rather than just giving the substrate a good soaking to slow down the suction. Looks a nice finish though, and that staircase is absolutely mint, what a beautiful thing!
You are very talented it's like you have 50 years experience in carpentry.I have 25 years in the trade and i have never made a set of stairs in that design, hats off to you.
I always have a little happy moment when I see another of your videos has been uploaded. The pacing, the detail and the picturesque and tranquil setting combine to make a total that is greater than the sum of it’s parts.
My life would have been so much better if I had been as precise and particularly as you in my younger years. At 75 it’s easy to look back and see your mistakes. Keep working and love your job. It’s up to you.
I love old home like yours. I have a neighbor who lives in a home built in 1717 and the exterior of the building is made of Granite and Marble. The stairs inside the home are made from imported marble and is curved to the upper floors. There are Historians who are trying to find out who is the builder of these curved stairs because there are no others like it in the United States. The roof is the original and made from slate. If your parents can stay why can't you. Great Video. Still enjoying your coasters!!
Gosh, where to begin. I know very little about building, but I love it. Thank you for sharing. This has been so calming and a great lesson in patience during a trying time for me. Building in wood is a thing of beauty and your work is fantastic. I will be looking forward to the continued restoration.
Love watching it come together ❤️ I forget who said it but part of it goes: In all things success depends on previous preparation : I think it's great you guys take the time👍
Always interesting videos. Your father is very handy with a trowel, does he do cement/masonry work for a living or is it a skill he's just picked up over the years?
Was writing first comment before watched whole video and both this and previous video about concrete mixing give me anxiety 😅 I've done pretty fair share on concrete mixers making pavements around my house and my new garage and helping my sister and her hubby when they build their house to cut as muvh costs as possible, those pedals on concrete mixers here in Croatia are even larger and can be really dangerous if catch your hand or even worst if catch a long sleeve of shirt or jacket. Don't stick hands in mixer.
Good video. Your circular saw issue (you mentioned how difficult it is to repeatedly reset the depth accurately to cut notches) I saw this on the Jeromes ( th-cam.com/video/E2tMP3JK55w/w-d-xo.html ) about 2 minutes in - a circular saw with a scale to adjust the depth of the cut that means you don't have the hassle of trying to balance a saw in something like a heavy terracotta pot ( deep enough to allow the motor to go into ) to continually measure the depth the saw is sticking out of the bottom, in order to make accurate cuts. I'm sticking with the terracotta pot with a rag around it - these flash circuar saws look pricey.
Carl and Pops, Thx so much for this. Here in the states we have nothing on the west coast even close to this age. It has been a pleasure following you and your family on this restoration journey. I love old houses and where I am nothing like this exists. This is a real pleasure to watch. Thx
Wonderful! This residence is breathtaking! You and your dad are doing a wonderful job. You are talented, patient, calm, meticulous and professional. Your videos make me really happy to watch. Thank you for that... 😉
So few people will take the time to learn a craft and do it right nowadays. Most people rebuilding old structures like this can find no stone and wood that will do it justice or artesans to employ and are doing this themselves making mistakes, trial and error, getting frustrated and hurt in the process. Not to mention finding the materials needed. Watching you work and create is like watching a sculptor make a work of art. I am enthralled with your mastery and precision. Our family ancestral farm outside Barcelona is so old that the door to the main structurer is many times smaller than those used nowadays because people were a lot shorter back then when it first was built. It is smaller but quaint and interesting and means a lot to me. Since watching your videos I have been thinking of returning to the structures, memories and feelings I think to find there. Its in the bucket list.
You guys are amazing! And smart, keep Mama happy! Loved your celebratory and comedic input! I cant wait to see whats behind that beautiful door! Thank you!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Very nice to see this workmanship on the staircase as well as the rendering. Looking fwd to seeing the pointing done on the bottom half of the stairs.

When critical measuring is required before risking scarce materials on this scale, particularly in a difficult to reach place, try making a template out of cheaper materials such as low-cost boards as used in concrete forming.
Or use one of the many calculators online to poop out dimensions that are exact to the single milimeter, then trace out the template onto your beam
Or even several layers of cardboard glued together makes a really stiff pattern making material. If you have a large convention center near you, they throw out thousands of foam core signs after each convention ends, which can be scavenged from the dumpster and used for pattern making, they are really stiff, especially if you can find the stuff that is 1/2" or 3/4" thick.

An absolutely phenomenal job on the wall. Bloody amazing! The staircase too!
The workmanship you display on this channel is second to none. Absolutely loving watching this beautiful home come together! ❤️
As someone who builds stairs for a living, you did a great job. Looks great. Thanks for the video, watching all the way from Rhode Island USA
Wow what workmanship. You must be so proud of yourself. Looks amazing, well done.
Your Dad is an artist.

Great example of craftmanship. Well thought out and executed.

My Favorite channel by a long shot!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Very nice to see this workmanship on the staircase as well as the rendering. Looking fwd to seeing the pointing done on the bottom half of the stairs.
I have no words for this Father and Son team, ok one,...fantastic.
Your work is totally amazing , same with your fathers .Thanks for the coasters . Hope to order T-shirts in the near future .
So satisfying to see little moments of something finished- the plaster (render?) to the edges, the staircase settling perfectly into its notch.
Thank you for sharing the wonderful feeling of creation. Let me express my deepest respect to your motivation, craftmanship and patience.
The work itself is beyond reproach but it's also beautifully shot. You have a great eye for cinematography and story telling. Thank you for sharing.
Real nice rendering job. Particularly liked the close-up of the top finishing touches.
Love that moment with your father when it fell into place! Such a great memory and experience! Keep up the great work!
Nice job on the wall and staircase. The craftsmanship you and your Dad have done is great to see; such a remarkable restoration.
