Laying Wooden Flooring In A Kitchen 

Thanks Keith! It turned out really well. Yes the trim is quite high but I am yet to trip over it (been ok even when drunk!). I was gonna say nobody has tripped yet but my Mum ruined that by tripping on it did today!!! Haha.

Very well done. Thanks for reminding us that there IS a right way to lay those boards (re: the tip on the bigger/thicker side going up on t&g)...the reason, I believe, is so that over years if the floor is sanded or otherwise worn down the t&g integrity will be maintained longer. I really love your work and am using as much recaptured material for my tiny house on wheels (I’m a long time dumpster /skid? diver, which drove my ex crazy...after 30 years he wanted and got a divorce and I must say that my seeing a new use for almost anything, was a significant contributor).

So much nicer than the tiles before. Good job guys.

I’d look into getting a Japanese hand saw for your trim work, they’re pretty handy.

Of all woodworkingchannels i follow i enjoy yours the most! Thank you!

Looks great, enjoy the warm look of a wood floor...

This looks so amazing. Nice job!

Great video. Enjoyed it immensely.

Nice video , looks great to me. judging by the comments some people dont agree but its not their house so .... Love the fact its spruce and not cheap laminate stuff. Keep em coming mate 👍

It looks nice. I do like a natural floor. A lot nicer than carpet I think. Great video Keith 👍🏼👍🏼

Bit of polish on the floor helps the washing machine slide in :-) Great video as always, what a great friend you are Keith

You should try to do some home restoration and maintenance videos. They're pretty entertaining and educational.

Turned out great fellas!

This Alex is a lucky guy having a mate like you around. What's he want doing next😂😂😂 great video and the end result looks great.

Nice job!

Nice job!!!!

Good job!

always love watching your videos. long time fan. keep up the great work. maybe you should blog yourself going to a car boot sale. finding something you could restore. bringing new life into something old.

That turned out great. Well done lads!

Brilliant vids man and I love you are yousing a Henry hoover 💪

Got the pleasure of watching this video!

Good job Keith

Beautiful

dude you did great

definitely a British experience.

Good job

I've never heard of a floating tongue and groove floor. So it's not nailed or screwed down anywhere?

Came up alright mate 👍👍👍

Nice video, mate. Much appreciated. To save yourself time in your next project, you may want to invest the 10 bucks or so on Moulding/Contour Gauge. Happy woodworking. Keep it up!

Love this video. It’s diy of a standard most of us can associate with and the end result looks good. My only observation would be that having worked so hard to do this perhaps masking the screw holes with plugs that you could sand down would have finished it better. Thanks

I really like your type of woodworking and I think my woodworking is sort of like yours and I've had my eye on a combo kit with tools most every woodworker has, but it also has a reciprocating saw and I wanted to know if a recip saw is part of your woodworking. Thanks, Keith!!

Looks great guys. Can I ask about the floating floor: so was the whole floor only secured at the doorways? There is no movement or puckering up of the timber? I thought there might be a bouncy looseness if it wasn’t secured. I am putting a floor in soon as well and was wondering if it should be secured to the subfloor or if there is a likeness of movement and pressure by the timber if I do that

Brilliant Keith, well done to you both. 🏆👍🏼😊 I must admit, when working away from my tools I seem to take everything bar the kitchen sink....just in case of course! …

Your thickness planer. My out feed draw roll bar needs replaceing? do you know where I can get one?? I have tried without success. Pat

Nice work what a good mate you are I hope Alex has compensated you with the appropriate number of pints. 👍🏼🍻 I was going to say I can't wait for the health and safety police to start lecturing you but I see they've already got stuck in! 😂😉

If you don't say 'to me to you' when lifting something heavy with a friend your not British

Your sparky mate? Great work, really enjoy your vids.

Looks very nice. could glue not have been used so you don't have all those screws showing?

13:25 Russian sticker! :) "demand beer topping"

It was very complicated kitchen But u done flooring really good

A cheap way of improving the finish if you have a pillar drill, is to buy a plug cutter. Counter bore for the screw heads. Tap in the plugs and trim off flush. No screws visible.

Great friends!

GREAT VIDEO!!! Love it. We are definitely sharing on our social media. Emmy Braxtly

Lovely bit of work there, I hope Alex is going to do you a BBQ after all the work you've put in!

that threshold looks like a real toe-stubber. would be for me anyway

nice work Keith. I remember your mate as the electrician on your workshop. Q1 Does the varnish make it watertight (always the issue with wood in kitchens/bathrooms)? Q2 Are there suppose to be those gaps, if not, what happened?

Looks very nice , i got some similar poly stain from aldi for our garden furniture , its decent stuff. That kitcen looks like gally on a boat , awsome !

So pretty. You did a really good job.🙂

Well done Keith, nobody polishes a turd quite like you, you got steeze bruh.

I guess if the home owner is happy....

Good job Kieth is that all new Makita kit you have now?

Floor looks great, great work. My only concern is the raised lip as you leave the kitchen? Not sure if it's an aesthetic thing, or required?

Great video you made, but next time you make a wooden floor, remember to keep a distance of ca. 10 mm of space to the wall. This is for compensating the movement and differentiating in the floorboards when humidity changes :)

Just wondering if you thought about removing the tile first and then laying the wood floor over what would have been a same height floor throughout. It would also have left you with a floor that wasn't inches higher than the surrounding floors.

4:55 if you wonder why a thick and thin side: Thick side up, so you can sand it down once or twice before having to replace. Thin side up, you'd sand to the tongue and it all falls apart... That said, something soft like spruce seems a bad idea for a high-traffic area like a kitchen.

The end result is lovely! in the beginning I thought it looked horrible but you hand't stained it yet. That Indesit washine is bound to need to come back out at some point! Thanks for the video its really well edited for a good flow and you managed to use a good range of tools!

What table saw do you have ?

This is Beautiful.... What kind of wood and where did you buy it?

Pine floors? Face screwed? No T&G, gaps are huge. You could buy home center oak or bamboo cheap. It would take 2-3 hours.

At 10:40 was that his Ryobi drill and how much did it cost ?

Isn't that the spark from the shed build series?

I’ll never get used to see a washing machine in the kitchen.

良き出来栄え。

Wow, that's a great job being done! Congrats. Can you tell me how that subtitles/cc (closed captures) works? Sometimes I turn it on when watching You Tube videos when the maker is talking too quickly for me. This is the first video of you where I turned it on because you speak very clearly (English English is more common to me than American English, although on You Tube I follow more American than English makers). And in fact, for this video I turned on the CC option for only one word which I misunderstood (and did not make sense in that case) But then I left the CC on and found out, that it is nearly perfect (found only two mistakes), as where at other video makers the CC option sometimes makes a mess of the spoken words and it becomes very hilarious to read. Do you do afterwards some fine tuning on the CC? (if that is possible). Or is your voice indeed so clear that the program does everything right? In any case massive Thumbs Up for the project, the video and the CC. Thanks for sharing.

rag n brown pls do a 50 dollar gaming desk build ok I know that this request is kinda weird for a pet/wood craft channel but give it a try otherwise thank you!

"oh dear, the lid is over there" lol great job :)

What a tremendous and stunning results. well done,mate.Cheers!!

Beautiful job, but the lip at the transition would be illegal in The States. (Tripping hazard)

Nice project! Is your friend russian? He has a lot of russian stickers around his place :)

What did he cook for you in the kitchen ?...;-p

I just wonder why one would choose spruce for flooring, probably one of the softest woods around.Even pine would be harder. If this was meant to be cheap and temporary it will do the job. Thanks for the video. Although I might disagree, I still liked watching it.

....больно смотреть на такую работу ! (((

Great job! but I think it's not the best idea to use wood floor in a kitchen haha

I dont wanna sound negative, but personally i think it looks awful, if Alex is happy with it that`s all well an good (he must be easily pleased lol )

His apartment is so small he has to go outside to change his mind!! It sure is nice to have friends with tools.

he had a natural wood floor, and covered it in wood. OK.

2 questions: 1st. How is it holding up? 2nd. Why do British people have clothes washers in their kitchen?! 🤔

An estate agents nightmare.

bit of a bodge job to be fair I wouldnt be happy with it. it will move and bow in no time. supprised at you because your other projects have come out good.

Looks lovely, but the trim uh... might cause a few spilled drinks.

I'm going to use this as a "how not to install hardwood flooring" video.

Who puts wood in kitchen? Lol

Eh...

Cheap Wood On The Floor , after one year you going to see any deep scratches threshold higher thne floor you can broke your finger it's look nice but for maybe a couple months that's it and you have to sending again stupid idea better if you guys use a maple wood for kitchen area

I don't understand why you didn't use the available table saw for many of the cuts you made. Additionally, if you would have undercut the door framing you could slide the hardwood under. with tongue and grove, these floors aren't meant to be "floating" and should have been secured in place with at minimum 18 gauge nails, but properly with cleat nails. Haphazard jobs will never stay looking nice. I think the aforementioned, in the comments, gaps will grow over time and the floors minimum preparation will likely result in squeaking and problems down the road. A friction fit for any appliance with a component of water is not the best of ideas. Though, the face-screws in this application actually could be considered charming.

the gaps between the boards are too big. nothing used to keep the planks together so it will all move apart over time. all in all its one of the worst flooring jobs ive seen in a while.

very rough work .

Ужас! Я просто любитель, но это ужасно - бомж-ремонт

Not the greatest by you 😂

hey yall are driving on the wrong side

why do you speak like that?
