Tommy knows every trick in the book this is why he is so famous..
Jeez that’s a fix. Definitely don’t have enough tools for that kind of fix yet!
A younger Tom Silva! Great thinking, and great execution, sir.
Tom, I watch you guys all the time. There isn't one video I didn't like. If I had you as a teacher years ago , I know there wouldn't be anything I couldn't handle. Thank you so much for putting time on TV and just being a very important person.
Great tutorial. I love watching Tom Silva work.
"Fixed the newel post!" - Clark Griswold
dig that POV camera down inside the post!
perfect timing in finding this. i need to tighten one, since the house has settled the past 30 yeats
I didn’t realize that William Butler Yeats was a unit of time as well.
Mr Silva is the man.
Looks like a solid fix
Great stuff! Any hints for a lathed post on the upper level? Thanks! Already working on the bottom post thanks to your other videos.
Yes, I have a lathed post too that is wobbly. Mine is on the main floor though and not hollowed all the way out like this one is. A video on how to fix that would be great.
man, i was hoping I could fix mine myself. All those extra tools will cost as much as paying a carpenter! The previous resident "fixed" it with those plastic cable clips hammered into the trim around the newel post. One step better than my previous house where they "fixed" a hole in the floor with expanding foam.
Yeah but then you can do more projects with the tools you bought. Ok maybe not the extra long drill bit, but hey just keep the receipt and return it right after you're done ;)
Audrey Clarke that’s simply not true. Those tools and supplies won’t cost more than $100. Probably a lot less.
A (good) carpenter will cost more than that.
The Real Hal Jordan you seem a horrible person if you use items and then return them.
Not cool bro
That was Awesome !!
👍👍👍👍
Great stuff
Genius
Flippi'n GENIOUS!
if I saw this years back I would've had chosen this profession.
Cameraman?
That’s how you fix it. 👍🏻
He sounds like the DIY equivalent of Bob Ross
Wow very nice!
Genius.
Can someone tell me what dia rod size is that? Is it 3/8?
I thought Wobbly Newel Post was one of those British foods...
Stiffer... And stronger
Personally, I use a chainsaw to fix a newel post.
Dude thank you I just lost it. :D
take the post out. no post=no problem
I'll just stick to fixing it
We're the hap hap happiest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse!
Good idea “Clark”!
Haha
I live in a house built in the 1940s. Everything is old.
Les digo q no se sabe tom silva esa no me la sabia
Your other video says to do it another way????
mrfoltz that was a newel post at the bottom of the stairs.
That was a painted one as well, can hide the screw head on that, very hard to do with stained and varnished post
So a chainsaw isn't how to fix these?
no you need TNT, just fill to the top.
I wonder why he doesnt need thread lock
That tomy
Anyone else wonder who Tommy’s teacher was. Or was
I think was his father.
Well this is 0% like the other 5 videos ToH has on this topic
The Griswald way to fix it ! { ruclips.net/video/0IcFNiNDb8E/видео.html }
Richard Trethewey lost some weight.
Why 2??
Didn’t you call me for my help? Shut up ☺️
All that and no show for shake the crap out of it. Man They make me guess to much. What I'd like to do is something better.
Amateurs
First! Lol
thanks guys for the show/video. Just love it that there are no pesky minorities in sacred ''bawston''.. or it would seem so by your choice of contractors, and on line talking heads. but really in 2015-2016...lets see a bit of color. A problem?...just call ME !
+N Kel You've already got Affirmative Action, quotas, and misplaced guilt. Try working with those first.
Oh boy, someone's triggered.
Just watch "The Fresh Prince" or "Blackish" or "In Living Color" or "Pimp my Ride".
Screw you.
