How To Install Barn Board Floors YOURSELF | DIY

This was definitely a bit of an experiment for me as I have never installed hardwood floors before. But, as you can see in the video, I think they came out amazing and after using them for a while now they seem to be holding up great! I really think the finish has a lot to do with this as it creates a complete layer over the floors to protect them. I make sure to answer every comment, so let me...

Very nice !!
Although a few years ago - i was wondering if you considered using a flexible adhesive?
Wow! You're super talented. Found your floor video and am loving your channel.
The music really detracts from the video brotha. Maybe some music over cool b roll shots but, yeah. Love the idea though.
I have a walkout basement. The previous owners put an adhesive under plywood and then tap conned them into the concrete. I have been working on reclaimed wood from an old log cabin. My question is, what is under your plywood? Is it concrete? If so is that why you put down sheathing?
I'd honestly invest in a bandsaw.. and definitely look into some table saw Operation / safety videos.. I'd also buy some hardwax finish and give it a shot if you haven't already! It cures incredibly fast and saturates more evenly
Where is thy riving knife? I took mine of once, and the first cut I made kicked back straight past my head. Just missed me.
Hey, you shouldnt wear gloves on a table saw or most machines. Seriously. Im not trying to heckle you or be a keyboard warrior, its a big safety concern. The issue is with no gloves if the blade hits your finger it will cut you but only where contact was made, so hopefully a small cut because you pulled your hand away when it happened. BUT if you wear gloves and the blade catches the fabric and pulls, what would've been a small cut is now your entire hand being pulled into the blade. Be Carefull and remember gloves are for hand tools only.
And not just the blade, but the belt sander, too. For that tool, I put woven-backed bandaids on my finger tips so they can't be pulled in and they won't be abraded off.
Is there a reason you use such little nails instead of something a bit bigger or screws?
If I didn’t have a band saw what would be a good alternative? Anything?

I so wanted to get to the finish project but just could stand the sound track. I just don’t get the sound tracks.
07:20 What kind of sanding pad do you use? Thank you. Beautiful work👌
i am making a floor for bunkhouse in forest. I am working with wood from a dismantled house built in 1710. It has been such a challenge with only cordless hand tools, different thickness, nothing square or even. quite a puzzle. your video is a great help to me. especially the finish! I am using (new) screws and the original nails from the house.
But can you clean the floor? I want to try it but I see that as a downfall
Have you had any spills? if so my concern would be the spilling seeping into the cracks, thus mold, and odor? I love the floor, I want to make something like this myself. just going through the thought processes. Anything noteworthy? Thanks and great job!
Hi Ryan, pretty similar to any other older hardwood floors, there are cracks. We haven't had any major spills and the finish has been amazing! No areas of concern yet. Maybe not the best option if you have young kids though
You could always fill the cracks with a little diy sawdust and glue wood filler? You'd have plenty of sawdust on hand that's for sure.
I love that!
Hella crooked mounting...lol
Great video, I find the music very distracting.
Awesome build! Love it! 🤩
Thanks!
I think you have done a good job with the table top. The legs on the other hand look like some screwed together two by fours you found in the yard. You could shape them a little more so they complement the table top more. I think it if you give them a little love when you find the time, you will get a much better final product.
I think you built a very beautiful table But I think you should have built the leg’s. The ones you put on it spoiled it for me I’m not knocking your work it’s very nice . But if you go through that much time and effort go all the way that’s all I’m saying.
Love your work, talk slower!
A little tip I learnt recently is to make a wash of 1 part molasses to 3 parts water which I did and I soaked my rusty railway spikes in this wash overnight - fantastic result, rust all gone and once the spikes were rinsed off and completely dry I sprayed with a coat of pot-belly paint, they look soooo good 😃
Hi. What kind of gloves are you wearing please? Many thanks. The bookmarks look great 👍
Love the end result mate 🤩😍 looks absolutely amazing once stain was applied Awesome job !! Thanks for sharing
the only thing i would like to have seen is the cracks in the end !
Espectacular,beautiful
Looks kind too loopy like intestines. Overkill on the curve angles
Looks amazing , good job, ill be forgings some knives this weekend
great video but use ur riving knife on ur table saw and roll up ur sleeves
Is it best to not wear gloves?
Yeah, gloves with rotating machinery makes my stomach churn!
How do l know how much resin to put into anything?
Take a couple measurements along a crack and average that number. Then multiply it by the height and length of the crack and that should be fairly accurate.
How's if holding up? Just curious about boards 'popping up' etc. Thanks!
Really good!! Some creaks here and there so I could probably put in a few nails but other than that it looks great and no boards popping up
@@AlexKatWoodworking I think normally people glue it and then nail it which cuts down on the creaks
Oh my, this is exactly what I envisioned when I picked up spikes along my rail trail walk. However, I never thought to sand down the spikes. Now I have drawer pull ideas for my kitchen. Ooooooooo... :D (thank you!!!)
Love, love, love! This is the exact thing I'm looking for our house. We bought a fixer upper a few years ago and this is the type of floor I've envisioned for our house. Thanks for the inspiration!
Not trying to sound like a jerk. But a cut off wheel for that angle grinder could of saved you a lil work.
Thank you. When you don’t have all the tools necessary and you provide the steps I need to do a spike hanger using other tools, this is great!
Thanks fortaking time to show the work involved. Got rid of the cutter with the chain as it's unsafe. Some agressive cutters out there that are safer? Really liked your shop stool! Where will it hang"
I will have to look at safer options in the future. It hasn't found a home yet, still in my house for now!
Just found some Spikes Today . Gonna do this Project !
You do Awesome work . Very talented. Thanks. Craig. Pa.

Curious why you use the mastercraft for final sanding rather than your bosch on random orbit mode? much better sander.
At that time I found the Bosch to be a bit unstable, but yes now I do all my sanding with the Bosch!
@@AlexKatWoodworking yeah on turbo mode 100% unstable, pretty good on RO mode. I have one I use for 80 grit in place of a belt sander, then a mikra deros for 100+ grit. The bosch is great!
Totally agree! I want a Mikra so bad aha!
Amazing! Best regards from Transylvania
very very nice
You can avoid the epoxy stains (can see them all at 4:15) by painting on a coat of clear epoxy prior to filling any small spots, or painting on sanding sealer prior to filling any small holes. When you work through the grits, you'll remove the thin layer, leaving the epoxy only in the cracks and not stained blobs. Spalted maple is tricky to work with
Not bad! Good idea!
Nice table - but if you stick to hdpe boards or tack tape your boards far less problem of resin adhesion.
THE RETURN!!!
I'm back boys!!!
Awesome work! Must take a long time. Is that why you where two watches?
