For being a finish carpenter and not a floor guy it looks great. The whole series of the project was very enjoyable and I learned of few things watching them great job !!
I am pleased with this video: )!! I love the look bro thank you!! I am doing the same thing and your video is the first one to explain AND SHOW the products in order to keep the light natural wood look, appreciate its
Richard you called it the natural stain and the satin/Flat final coat was the perfect blend just remind the rest of us the lowest grade of oak planks and the Very Best Finish...Thank you very much I'm doing just that on my next hardwood floor...
The floor looks sharp. Great to know that white oak can have that natural unfinished look while being protected and smooth. I appreciate you putting these videos together.
Richard i want to thank you for your energy and sharing small things that makes DIY guys life a little easier. Tool description is very helpful. Thanks ones again. 😁
Hey Richard, I’ve been a finish carpenter for 32 years now. Just like you, I did one and one set of floors only. Much easier to do crown molding. Love your channel
The pride you take in all of your work, no matter what you are doing shines through. Your phone will always be ringing , since your name is synonymous with quality and care. I don’t have to say keep it up, since you know no other way.👍
You are so gifted in so many ways. Your work is methodical to the point of being mesmerizing, and your results are nothing short of beautiful. You've taught me a LOT, and I'm probably 15-20 years your senior. Thank you for taking the time to make these informative and entertaining videos, and for explaining your thought process as well as you do. Your channel is the only channel I get "giddy" for, when I see a new video has been posted.
The intro with you and the buffer brought back memories. My 1st day when I got to Shepard AFB for my Tech School (Jan 1969) a group of us had to strip, wax, & buff a large class room. That was my 1st time ever using a buffer and I was kicked around just like your intro. ROFL
As with everything you do, your diligence and innate quality workmanship made for a perfect finish! Thanks for sharing the how to and making these videos!
That came out nice bro! Great job. Dont worry about what other people got to say. Somebody always got something to say. I will be doing the same to my floors.
I laid my own oak wood flooring. 2000sqft of it finished with hard wax, so I can totally appreciate how much work this is. Saved a hell of a lot of money doing it myself though.
Great job! We did the exact same whitewash procedure you demonstrated and also did a water-based finish in 2017. Floors still look fantastic as a natural white oak (no yellowing)!
Great job never thought I would like flat on a floor it looks great and u have a great looking family bro keep it up I've been in the business for 35 yrs and I've learned alot of new tricks thanks to you PEACE
The finish looks great! I too don’t like it when wood has a layer of plastic on it. It looks so much better when it just has a subtle sheen looks more natural.
I'm so glad I ran across your video. I am in the process of finishing my original hard wood floors and wanted to keep it's original color ....thank you for the information on how to attain that. Your floors look great!!
I had a finishes guy once tell me if you build with a gloss and finish the topcoat with a flat/ matte finish it will not yellow so much. Flat finishes are gloss with an additive to flatten it. This is where yellow comes from. So layer with gloss, finish with flat. I did this on a table and 7 thin coats and 4 years later, it still looks great. Great job!
I’ve been watching most of the RU-vidr who doing stuff that you do and man I’m telling you the way you explained things crown moldings and stuff even the floor which is not pro but still loving it. I’m learning from you and you doing great 👍
That flat look is better in my opinion great work I’m a finish carpenter myself and I do all everything I can myself the stuff the seen some people do it will blow your mind lol
Just an FYI. The edger is meant to cut left to right. Also bona makes a water based sealer called natural seal and it’s basically raw looking. They have a naturalle poly too. Looks good!
Yes edge left to right and big machine right to left. We had a sub who use to do a first coat water base then one or two top coats with oil. Looked almost purple or pastel looked awesome.
I love this. Excellent work. I'm sure you have gained many different skills from doing this type of work. Also, with it being in your own home, you can make mistakes and they don't cost huge bank.
Pretty cool my man. I enjoy your Chanel because you are real. Not putting on a show for anyone. Not trying to act like you are the best at everything. I want to start my own Chanel as well just done even know how to start. I do a lot of what you do. I get so inspired by your Chanel and done know if you have any tips on how to get the Chanel started? Let me know. God bless.
Flat finish is the way to go. Modern. I am a painter and flatter (not ceiling flat) wall finishes are very popular. Low sheen is also easier for touchups. Nice job. Thanks for posting the process.
That intro though! 😂😂😂😂😂 I have to admit, that is some of the nicest looking #3 white I've seen done. Absolutely perfect in my humble opinion. Pat yourself on the back. You just finished a floor that looks a million times better than 99% of the "natural" white oak floors I've seen. You're a beast Richard @Finish Carpentry TV 💪💪
Love the flat finish! I’m hoping to get wood flooring just like this. Love it- the flat finish gives a more “rustic” look/feel. Shows off the “natural beauty “ of the wood.
WOW!! for me first time using that sander up on a second floor deck the thing shot around and knocked some of the spindles loose and almost took a dive off the side of the deck with me on it. Good job on the floors looks really nice but sooooooo much work. Enjoy your vids alot to learn, good teacher on the trim work. Thanks
Floor looks great! I agree about wood with character being more attractive than the super clear grain stuff. Did you consider any of the newer floor finishes like Osmo or Rubio Monocoat? They go on much easier than the traditional polyurethane finishes.
