Tools List for Repairing a Bad Flooring Joint:
Reciprocating saw [amzn.to/2NDitD3]
Chisel [amzn.to/2MOli4n]
Nail pulling pliers [amzn.to/34cRnIN]
Hammer [amzn.to/2NR7TIT]
Track saw [amzn.to/34bBmCW]
Mortising machine [amzn.to/2MItK5v]
Shopping List:
Wood glue [amzn.to/2ZCXhzl]
Construction adhesive [amzn.to/2Lc02Ut]
16d nails [amzn.to/2L90u5B]
Floating tenons [amzn.to/2L8jm4W]
Steps:
1. Use a dull chisel to lift the nosing slightly to allow room for a reciprocating saw blade. Use the saw to cut the nails that hold the nosing and then remove the nosing.
2. Pull the nails from the board, then scrape any old adhesive or filler off the nosing.
3. Lay a straight edge on the widest gap on the flooring and then use a track saw or circular saw to cut all the flooring evenly.
4. For the area where the saw blade can’t reach, chisel out the floor boards so they’re flush with the other boards.
5. Check the fit of the nosing.
6. Mark lines on the nosing and the floor boards for the location of mortises and cut them on both surfaces with a mortising machine.
7. Use wood glue to install the floating tenons into the mortises of the nosing.
8. Apply construction adhesive to the subfloor under the nosing and wood glue along the edge of the flooring.
9. Bring the nosing in, line up the tenons with the mortises on the floor, and slowly tap the nosing in place with a hammer.
10. Once the floor joint is tight, secure the nosing in place with 16d nails.

I need tom to come to my house , that would be a show ! Fixing all my mistakes over the last 20 years. Could do a entire season
LOOL
Ditto lol I wish they could come and help
Lmfaooo
Lol
Ain't that the truth. He could start a new video career at mine.
Tom Silva is a master carpenter. This job was very simple and it is probably boring to him,but you can tell that he does enjoy helping people. Good man
Totally professional Tommy doing top notch work without getting distracted by the hottie.
lmaoooo
She : "it wasn't even that hard to do"
Tom, with a smirk : "it wasn't that hard to do."
Jajajaja
Yeah, it is that hard to do. Presents bill for $1,000.
I’m 50 years old this year. if all of the men from This Old House only knew how much they had taught over the years. I’ve been watching them since I was, I don’t know, maybe 10 or so. I don’t know I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you so much for all y’all have done for many of young old men LOL.
..and women; doh.
@@dreamingrightnow1174 who asked?
@@avennmevhora3595 Nobody, which is my point.
Same here. I'm 38 and still remember watching Bob and Norm on the weekends with my Dad... when he was still around.
@@dreamingrightnow1174 when women make up 50 percent of construction crews then you can say that lol
The "know how" makes the difference. The skill of the carpenter makes the finished product look right

Festool track saw $660
Festool Certiified HEPA dust extractor $560.00

= $3159
Having Tommy do all the work for you? Priceless
His hammer is 199.00 for Stelleto hammer..lol
Tom is a top notch old school craftsman, a dying breed.
Any customer recognizes that tools price!!
Nice & tight joint 427 🤣
mathewparrett - don’t forget the Festool saw itself $900
lady, Tom is the Chuck Norris of carpentry.
that's why it looked easy....
another great episode.
Everything is easy when you know how to do it.
she did a really great job with that glue.
just like ...oh wait wrong channel
"It wasn't even that hard to do!"
tedgey 😂😂😂😂
She’s hot
4:29 yes
Yes Kate it wasn't that hard to do ! I have 45 years experience and about $4000 bucks worth Festo power tools and accessories to do this one simple job !
ben jarmin she didn’t even do anything.
All that neat work to then drive in nails and punch huge holes in the top! Too old school. Who has all that Time on a job site for that result? A mornings work for that? I’d be fired in a minute if I spent all morning doing that!
Ha ha that’s exactly what I’m thinking! If that was an example of something that’s “not hard to do”, I would hate to see her idea of something actually HARD to do - this was literally an example of a synergistic symphony between years of crafting experience applied with the most appropriate selection of high end tools - leave it to a woman to blatantly discount this man’s highly valued efforts with some random ridiculous comment ...”derrr dat wasn’t so hard derp derrr...”
@@devitomichael She meant the dab of glue she added. She is pretty, though.
Don't forget setting up appointment, setting up work space, time explaining scope of work, invoicing, estimating, proposal, cleanup, BS time and drive home. Not to mention dealing with all the government BS, license, insurance, fees, regulations, registrations, laws, restrictions and sex before you get out of bed in the morning. Can you blame the quick work the hacks did to begin with? I love carpentry but hate the BS. And, don't forget, dealing with Betty when she calls back to complain and blame you for an unrelated situation and won't pay till she's satisfied. Hahaha. Welcome to the world of construction service. You'll love it!
Tom sets the standard of quality work.
Guy - “I can see they did a real lousy job cutting the flooring where the nosings met.”
.
Lady - My husband actually did that
.
* awkward silence*
Amazing how they make a Festool track to fit exactly between those walls.
You can make anything fit with a big enough hammer!
i know i thought the same thing. things are never that easy when i do it.
@John Shay
and it comes with its own systainer that costs another $500.
+ John Shay - 3:11 It's a FS 1900, $212, www.toolnut.com/festool-491503-75-guide-rail-fs-1900.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwrsDIBRDX3JCunOrr_YYBEiQAifH1Fpgsw0LJBpmOHUVjk390okeVqnqxb6otXZtp62SKoQMaAuHi8P8HAQ
sarcasm get it? because most of their products tend to be quite expensive....
Every job I follow on this show makes me take a trip to the hardware store. Because, I'm always missing a tool or have to rent something. But it always gives the best examples.
Tommy Siva is an incredible craftsman! Great repair.
Tommy: “Thanks for the help”
Woman: “Thanks, Tommy!”
Tommy: “I was being sarcastic...”
Lol
The right tools and knowing how to do it, is what carpentry is all about and doing it over and over, you become a craftsman!!!
Its so nice to see a master carpenter at work. Tom makes some quality videos.
Girls: *puts down some glue in the holes
...
Tommy: "thanks for the help".
Girl: It wasn't even that hard!
@@1Akanan1 That's what she said!
This man is such a professional, l love to see him work
She was a big help for Tom. #1 she answered the door.#2 she let him in.#3 she was attractive. #4.she thanked him.
Enough for me!
Tenons are the best idea...
Love the way he explains simply and why it should be done this way.
Every time I see this clip it is exactly what I picture if I imagine what a network news anchor looks like and does on their weekends.
Kate is hot and what nice gams.
I love watching Tommy! He's so slick.
Nothing says I'm here to work like lace shorts.
shes hot
U can tell they're acting - I'm so glad you came. Thanks Tommy!
She's an actress too
@@rsprockets7846 it’s actually his daughter
@@rsprockets7846Network news reader. She's a looker, 4 sure.
Tommy with another lovely assistant.
There was people before this old house and people before them and they were craftsmen beyond your imagination that made this world so great God Bless those Souls !
what a festool commercial....
that being said, I loved it, learned a lot, want to buy everything....
Heartbreaking to think that poor woman had to live in such squalor before she finally found help
OMEGALUL
lmao exactly....this is one of those things that I wouldnt even bother messing with if I owned that home.
Your just jealous of her house and what she has. She probably worked hard for everything she has.
@@danieltadros3262 Dude, relax. You've heard of jokes? Nobody's jealous, just having fun.
@@danieltadros3262 You're bad at spelling and grammar and you're bad at reading jokes.
I like this guy. He's is quite skilled.
Also, I noticed the Festool straight edge. I was using a Festool orbital sander with vacuum attachment today and another contractor said I was soiled. Lol.
Well done !!!! Beautiful job!!!!!
Pretty simple stuff! Can’t wait to get approved for a second mortgage so I can purchase an arsenal of festool specialty tools to properly align a door threshold!
Haha. So true.
The track fit perfectly
Yeah right? All those tools for something that most people wouldn't even notice
Having all the right tools, helps a lot
This must be some kind of sorcery, what are the odds the festool track fit exactly in that opening
You can expand them with screw.
John M yes you can expand by adding another track but still what are the odds of that be exactly the same size of the opening.
David,
The model that he's using comes in different sizes.
It was most likely nothing but a coincidence that it was the same size as the opening.
in the back of the truck, he probably has 50 different sizes in there.
John M, taking in consideration that festool track are metrics unit and that opening is most likely trim in imperial unit, what a coincidence, and trust me those track don't come in many different size (maybe 4-5 of them)
Yo can make some using metric and imperial units and they can be the same lengths.
Amazing carpenter. he is a true expert.
Pros pro, mans man, goat Tom Silva
The master at work 😀
Well done Tom.
Amazing Sir. You are the man.
I love watching master carpenters- they make everything look so easy.
This may not sound like a compliment but it absolutely is....I've seen Mr. Silva’s work so much and have always used it for many years(since recording shows on my vcr, yes that long ago Lol) as references before a project I begin if need be. This one was a no brainier only because of the countless hours of work I have watched him do and have applied in projects myself, so Thank You to Mr. Silva and to everyone else at this old house because I have found great value and used allot of information I have learned over years watching everyone on the show and also who is no longer on it. 🍻cheers to everyone from the show and Thank You all very much for all the skills I have learned and to the new ones I look forward to learning.
Let me add something for all you complaining about the price of festools. Yes we all know they are expensive and can't you tell they sponser This Old House and Ask....Of course they will make the job faster and easier. Stop crying and go back and watch some older video of Mr. Silva doing pretty much the same job and you don't see him crying like you are. Grow up and get some callouses on your hands. Aye...no wonder the construction industry doesn't have good help these days with young people, it's because you’re all affraid to get a splinter. Notice Eye and ear protection, not moisturize your hands then wear gloves.
WHY IS THIS SO SATISFYING
6:55 Tommy is like "aww shucks"
TOM IS THE MAN!
Tom Is An Amazing Craftsman
Good job fixing the floor, I liked.
So satisfying
My best program old house you guys are ameizing
Nice work...Thanks
Cutting your festool slide down for a video... Priceless now that's a contractor willing to go to the max.
Rezo TheRockLuvr, well sort of, it’s not like he paid for it. He’s probably got a Conex box out back full of tracks. Cause we all know the only way to make that cut was with $1000.00 worth of saw and track.
...fantastic work & love the mix of old school and new: Festool Track Saw, Domino...then standard trim nail & nail set : P : )
I love how some customers undersell experience and years of experience. Nothing is as easy as it seems.
Your the man Tommy!!😎
Beautiful
Tom Silva the legend.
good job
I had the same problem but didn't have the tools. Ended up drilling down through and used oak pegs its solid but you can see where the pegs are.I can live with it. Has my character in it, and that is whatever gets me by an it's my home .
Thank you TH-cam for the free content
Your awesome tommie
Very nice tools
Exemplary job You have inspired me to work on my channel, thanks. 🐼
Very nice
He’s always there when the husband is at work lol
Yeah why always gals and no hubby?
The gals appeal to the mainly male audience, let's be honest.
Prefesional tools 😎
That festool slide and saw are beautiful. No spacing the work, just drop, clamp and cut.
A mere $3,000
The passive agressive “if they had only done it right the first time, I wouldn’t have had to do that” killed me at the end
Yeah but he would never had got to meet gorgeous Kate.
must be nice with the tool selection at hand!
6:49 It's amazing how easy it is to do when you spend the entire segment sanding there watching Tom Silva do it for you... Usually watching someone else do all the work is MUCH harder! ^_^
I love these guys... they make DIY look so easy and inspiring!
Hey honey... bring out the hammer...
And fix the door!
(just kidding...)
Tommy is the best!!!
Great work and you just Have to love Festool. Excellent equipment. Shame about the face nailing. I think I would have screwed and bunged it but that would be more work so I see why they did it this way
That's Kate Merrill from WBZ-TV 4 Boston.
Nice!
Très bon travail...
Boston has the best accent in America, music to the ears
Festool is the Mac great tools !!
Looks significantly better and is much safer.
mike holmes would have torn the house down as well as the houses on each side. then started all over. total cost...45 million
don't talk shit about mike holmes kid
Memerster23 why not? I am glad he’s employed and can feed his family but he’s not terribly special. It’s not like he has a hard job pointing out where other people screwed up. Fact is you can ask 5 contractors how to accomplish a task and you’ll get ten answers, seven of which will work perfectly fine. He does his show about the three that didn’t. Spending the majority of the time shilling for one product or another.
Funniest comment lmao these people can’t take a joke
Hilarious
Jajajaja, that’s right I was watching his show last night and people called him to repair the rear deck it was damage in some areas but fixable, he remove the entire deck and build a new one for 135,000. Now The new deck cost more than the house.
This is cool
Toms the best
I don’t think Tom has even been in a show without a chisel
WGBH Tommy, working on the floor of Kate Merrill, WBZ-TV news anchor. It's a small world after all ...
Cool pliers/ side cutter/ nail puller! I gotta get me one of those! (When I find out where to buy one!)
That internet thingy
Look how easy it is to fix...with tools nobody can afford. Great DIY video guys. Cmon, man.
John Patrick I’ve got them all - plus more. I’m a DIYer. And yes, I can use them. Which is why I paid for decent tools.
Waits for the “Festool is overpriced crap, buy XYZ instead....” 🙄
Graham Southern buying DeWalt or Milwaukee is hard enough for DIY guy. Glad you can afford them and make that work. Just frustrating when a "how-to" video uses tools many do not have.
Tommy is a god
When you have the right job for the tools,everything’s easy.
Nothing is hard to do when someone else is doing it.
this guy is very proffesional
Good job ^_^
@1:36 Pretty forward for first meeting
2:16 That's a slick little tool. Never seen that before.
Other days, Tommy uses it to trim his mustache
Come to my house in Jersey. I have a wood floor I am doing over and have to fix an old patch that was a 1’x3’ vent. I have flooring pieces I took up from my attic closet so it would match in color
Sooo funny, before I read all the comments I said to myself “self you need to run out and buy yourself those tools, particularly the track”. 😂. I’m poor, lol.
What's with that gap in the overhang at 6:31?
What's with the paint on the wood
Or the black skuff on the riser
wood expands and contracts in the width like he described at the beginning of the video. If there was no gap and that piece contracts, the original gap he fixed would be back.
Darren X that gap looked like it was half an inch
some caulking and its fine, i agree it a bit large
+ shouldibehere - it's a lack of paint. It's the same thickness of the adhesive that Tom scraped off the back of the board. They painted after they installed the floor. With the adhesive removed, you see the unpainted wood.
how did you hold the festool straight edge guide in place whle making straight cut.?
"I'm just here in my $350,000 home....what's this?! A slightly misaligned entryway!"
Having Tommy do a piddly job like this is like asking Whitesnake to perform at a high school pep rally.
Love the comments section on how everyone is a expert on a DIY project.
Monday morning finish carpenter.
"And it wasn't even that hard to do!"
Ya, you just need a festool track saw.
And a festool dust collector also de domino.
Best I could have done is my oscillating tool and a lot of time to go slow.
