I’m a apprentice for finish carpentry right now, we’re running a similar molding but made of walnut but all around this big second floor opening. It was a pain to put into place because the framing wasn’t perfect so we had to remove material from the nose and plane the floor bit because of the lip it had. I like watch some of your content. Helps me understand what the other carpenters are saying or trying to do.
Perfection! For the last bit against the wall I started to score the remaining cut line and remove just a little bit of material so that you can fit the multimaster inside without trying to plunge it leaving that kind of burned jagged edge. Anyways love the content!
I swear my phone or RU-vid is reading my mind.... 🤣💯 I was actually wondering about this....... and then this short pops up in my feed.. Idk whether to be thankful or fearful. 🤣💯
I feel like I’ve always called those rounded caps/moldings “bullnose”… terry 😂 however you said it 😂 Good stuff in this vid. Informative and easy to interpret. Great content
If at all possible I usually opt to screw down a board for the flooring installers to go to and that way the nosing goes down like a factory edge. BUT things don’t always go down like that and when you have to cut back flooring the track saw is the way to go!
I need to get a track saw. One of the only tools I've ever sold (bad time in life) was my panel saw & seems a track saw would just about do the same & take up a LOT less space
That track saw was a great purchase for me back in 2020. Grabbed it to do a butchers block countertop and I'll tell you what. Easy to use and in time you will start searching for projects just to be able to use it. P.s. get that long track bro!
Definitely had lippage. You can install the stair nosing first the install each wood plank to the nosing flush. That saw guide is cool and I can see why you'd do it this way for speed
Looks much better than my railing area. Year 2000 split level with that ugly 6" x 3/4" trim sitting under the rails. Also rounded so you can't easily trim it to hide the edge of my wood flooring. Ready to tear it all out😅
Good video and good tips. You don’t have to necessarily buy longer track. You can buy 1, 2 or 3 tracks the same size and get the joining bars so you can make tracks the length you need or at least reduce the amount of times you need to adjust your track.
I would like to change out my stair rail and baluster’s. They’re side mounted to the outer string and I want a more modern look to have them on top thread side. Any idea how I could do that or a way I could send you pic so you could see.
We always put the nosing on before the hardwood. A remodel this could be helpful. I never cut existing hardwood without hitting nails and trashing the blade
Nice. Im working on the track saw. Most jobs people ask me where the track or table saw. I say your looking at it. I can dam near shave with a skill saw
I made a 10 ft track saw guide of 1/8” Baltic Birch. It doesn’t have the rubber grippers on the bottom side but it cuts a straight line. Save your $400
@@w.k.d.constructionllc no not the saw track the thing you used to mark your straight line... it had what looked like an extending piece ? Was red on one end I believe
I’m a stair guy for a living. Instead of this ugly premade nosing cut the flooring material on a 45 3 times. If it’s 7 1/2 inch you cut one at 4 1/8 1 1/2 thickness profile then 1 inch return on the bottom. Round over with 1/8 round over bit when glued and nailed then stain with color matched minwax from sherwin (water based) I charge 15$ /LF LABOR ONLY to install these. Looks perfect as it’s made from the floor material and looks much higher end than this outdated rounded stuff
Not going to lie my friends call my multi tool my vibrator because I love to use it all the time! And I’m not gonna lie I am surgical with that thing!! I have even used it to remove a cast from my moms arm!!
