You saved my life with this video. I've been using the wrong grit paper by far based on other videos. Just ordered a carbide scraper as well. I've been sanding with 60 grit without carbie scraper and I've barely made a dent.
I was having great difficulty trying to remove estapol from hardwood steps; using belt, orbital & detail sanders. I watched your video & noticed the Carbide Scrapper. I did 95% of the work with the scraper with a great deal more control & less chance of damage. I could see the Estapol shavings first followed by the timber shavings a few scrapes latter. I could also get to within 1mm of the stringer, so only had to do a quick hand-sand & the timber steps were ready. Thanks for an informative & pleasantly narrated video.
Great video, love your tips like using a cut up Piece of cardboard on corner to prevent damage to other corner piece. Thanks for being very clear and easy to follow instructions.
OMG! Thank you so much. This looks just like my staircase. I'm going to do this within the next few weeks. Keep these coming. :-) If you can show how to fix squeaky stairs and wood floors, that would be great.
An electric palm sander would be a lot easier and make less dust. A course grit sandpaper would cut right though any finish so scraping would not be necessary. Also a cordless multi-tool comes with a triangle sanding attachment to get in tight places.
Don Nash palm sanders are more so good for the risings & the nosing...a edger is best for the landing/stairs & a hand scraper is good for pulling the corners (I refinish floors for a living )
Don Nash I'm not floor refinisher but thatguyquincy is right, thats the method i use much easier! Recently started using scrapers and make tight corners & under radiators so much easier. Using what you recommend will trash the white painted perpendicular parts (apron)
what grade sand paper was used at the beginning when using the belt sander? I am sending but the oil stain I used will not go away. Could the stain have penetrated to deep and impossibile to remove completely. Thank you!! I need help :)
Hello, thank you for this video it was so helpful to me I am redoing my steps. and they look exactly like yours I just pulled the carpet off, and I don't want to do anything to time consuming with my steps I just want to get the dried paint off, and tidy them up, because I want to paint them black, and put stair treads, or runner on. My question is do I have to sand them, or can I simply clean then off as I mentioned, and paint them with a paint with primer already in it? thank you so much in advance!!
SamytheGreek hi! I stained first because putting painters tape on the risers would cause older layers of paint to flake off and cause an uneven surface. But the other way definitely works. Thanks for asking!
Refinishing stairs is an annoying job. I use a 3” grinder pad on a small battery operated grinder for edges and corners.. speeds up the edging a lot on the risers.
@@aaronwilson9465 Well, you have been beautifully misled by theegeekpub. Unfortunately, thegeekpub are scary scammers and are still cutting competition ...
Wow!!!!!! Thanks so much for the info, Also I don't know who needs this, but I'd like to bless anyone since you've blessed me, with such entertainment. Jesus christ loves you and gave his life on the cross so we could live and have a relationship with God. All we have to do is recognize our sins and ask for forgiveness and believe in jesus christ his son.
This is the greatest example of a DIY video. No BS, right to the facts, things to consider, on to the next step.

That was valuable information. I don't do this myself but I need to have an overview of what needs to be done. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. Very easy to follow and I can’t wait to start my stair project.
I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodprix.
Spammy spammerson?
I am very grateful for this information - this will definitely be a great big help to me! Keep the videos coming, thank you for all your hard work!
This was very helpful. Thank you. Definitely not looking forward to this job, but at least I know how to do it.

Awesome Job! The belt sand sander is a good choice but maybe combine it with a 5" orbital sander.
Appreciate the tips! Good to know all this for my next project. Thanks!
Very nice. 40 seconds in I hit like. You had immediate useful info. Good vid thankyou

Great video thanks

oh yeah ..24 grit paper works well to sand the stairs followed by 60 grit to smoothen it out

How long does it take to do 1 step?
Because I have like 20

Go to WoodPrix page if you'd like to know how to build it. Great solutions for everyone I think.

No
Does she have more videos then on her RUclips channel
Very good mam
Great! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Will my wood filler and paint be visible after I stain the stairs
I didn't catch what you said about the water test...did you say if it turns white it's wax?
Hi! Thanks for asking. Correct, if the finish starts to lighten it is wax.
Great, thanks!
In my first work I always used Woodprix plans.
McAfee won't let me view your web site :(
Oh my days. Just hire someone to do it.
Who we!!!!
Shouldn't you paint the risers before staining?
SamytheGreek hi! I stained first because putting painters tape on the risers would cause older layers of paint to flake off and cause an uneven surface. But the other way definitely works. Thanks for asking!
You have to prime with oil primer to cover the over stain ?

I find it hard to pay attention
U don't need to scrape the whole stair 🤦♂️ just use a edger

This woman needs to go learn how to professionally sand stairs with an edged, and a scraper!
I made it with Woodglut plans!
Hardwood stairs are not , repeat , NOT, for diy ers!!!!!!!
Nice girl, if she would refinish stairs, I would gladly hire her!
Sanding across the grain is not that big of a deal..
Woodglut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
I've heard good feedback about the woodglut instructions.
I made it by myself. I used Woodprix woodworking plans for that.
Romaine Athey you made an entire fucking staircase?
Woodprix just steals designs from people.

That's not a carbide scraper, it's standard steel. At least you can sharpen it easily.

cute girl, and knows how to get her hands a bit dirty too.
but micro fiber towel? shouldnt you be using paint thinner and wiping down?
Im using woodprix instructions to make it and I do it already :)
Really wood pricks.
Horrible.

Woodglut scripts contain most of the woodworking plans you can find.
