Tamara Neo takes on an old wood floor known for giving splinters to anyone brave enough to venture upon it without shoes. Using only her belt sander and palm sander Tamara turned this splinter trap into a beautiful, revived floor, good for at least another generation within her historic home.
Tamara walks you through all the prep work before the sanding, and through the sanding, then into addressing the wide cracks and finally the application of the polyurethane using both the squeegee technique and the roller technique to apply the polyurethane. While certainly not a professional result, the process was a real example of solving whatever came up through each step and is a vast improvement over what was there with very little financial commitment.

No epoxy, no wood filler, no glue with sawdust. Wood filler and epoxy will crack and separate within a year. Sawdust and glue is only really for hairline cracks- it will crack in bigger gaps and will stick out like a sore thumb if you use oil-based poly. The time-tested solution is fill with thin wood strips or the traditional solution, which is rope.

Please, just rent a floor sander at Home Depot and cut your time by 50%.

Mix the saw dust with wood glue or little bit of epoxy. Then trowel it in

I have Truely ...... Never seen anyone do this type of work in their bare feet. When I do work on floors I prefer to use knee pads, real good quality ones. Well you are getting it done, nothing better than a refinished wood floor.

Steel woool will darken it. Its actually a staining technique.

@jackk1583

the sawdust from the floor is useful to filll ingaps IF you mix it with wood glue. Make a paste, and the benefit is its the same color when finished. Also, its veru easy to hand sand after the first poly coat- 120 with even the floor and prep the floor for next coat- ends up w/ a very smooth finish, but nice work.

Very helpful, thank you. However, the music is too loud, sorry.

@DesignsbyAngeline

Tung oil makes the boards swell and will make them expand and close the gaps

Thank you for sharing your experience. I've been thinking about doing something similar on the cheap DIY style and you sharing and commenters sharing helps me figure out a plan for myself. Take care!

@Matt2chee

Excellent results.

Wow! Great job! It turned out great! I can’t wait to see it after you finish with decorating.

Thank you for saying how hard this project was. I know the big sander would be way too much weight and maneuvering for me. Was considering doing it the way you did. I think I’m going just hire it out. Your floor do look very pretty.
