I’m 50 years old this year. if all of the men from This Old House only knew how much they had taught over the years. I’ve been watching them since I was, I don’t know, maybe 10 or so. I don’t know I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you so much for all y’all have done for many of young old men LOL.
Yes Kate it wasn't that hard to do ! I have 45 years experience and about $4000 bucks worth Festo power tools and accessories to do this one simple job !
All that neat work to then drive in nails and punch huge holes in the top! Too old school. Who has all that Time on a job site for that result? A mornings work for that? I’d be fired in a minute if I spent all morning doing that!
Ha ha that’s exactly what I’m thinking! If that was an example of something that’s “not hard to do”, I would hate to see her idea of something actually HARD to do - this was literally an example of a synergistic symphony between years of crafting experience applied with the most appropriate selection of high end tools - leave it to a woman to blatantly discount this man’s highly valued efforts with some random ridiculous comment ...”derrr dat wasn’t so hard derp derrr...”
Don't forget setting up appointment, setting up work space, time explaining scope of work, invoicing, estimating, proposal, cleanup, BS time and drive home. Not to mention dealing with all the government BS, license, insurance, fees, regulations, registrations, laws, restrictions and sex before you get out of bed in the morning. Can you blame the quick work the hacks did to begin with? I love carpentry but hate the BS. And, don't forget, dealing with Betty when she calls back to complain and blame you for an unrelated situation and won't pay till she's satisfied. Hahaha. Welcome to the world of construction service. You'll love it!
Every job I follow on this show makes me take a trip to the hardware store. Because, I'm always missing a tool or have to rent something. But it always gives the best examples.
There was people before this old house and people before them and they were craftsmen beyond your imagination that made this world so great God Bless those Souls !
Pretty simple stuff! Can’t wait to get approved for a second mortgage so I can purchase an arsenal of festool specialty tools to properly align a door threshold!
I like this guy. He's is quite skilled. Also, I noticed the Festool straight edge. I was using a Festool orbital sander with vacuum attachment today and another contractor said I was soiled. Lol.
David, The model that he's using comes in different sizes. It was most likely nothing but a coincidence that it was the same size as the opening. in the back of the truck, he probably has 50 different sizes in there.
John M, taking in consideration that festool track are metrics unit and that opening is most likely trim in imperial unit, what a coincidence, and trust me those track don't come in many different size (maybe 4-5 of them)
6:49 It's amazing how easy it is to do when you spend the entire segment sanding there watching Tom Silva do it for you... Usually watching someone else do all the work is MUCH harder! ^_^
This may not sound like a compliment but it absolutely is....I've seen Mr. Silva’s work so much and have always used it for many years(since recording shows on my vcr, yes that long ago Lol) as references before a project I begin if need be. This one was a no brainier only because of the countless hours of work I have watched him do and have applied in projects myself, so Thank You to Mr. Silva and to everyone else at this old house because I have found great value and used allot of information I have learned over years watching everyone on the show and also who is no longer on it. 🍻cheers to everyone from the show and Thank You all very much for all the skills I have learned and to the new ones I look forward to learning.
Let me add something for all you complaining about the price of festools. Yes we all know they are expensive and can't you tell they sponser This Old House and Ask....Of course they will make the job faster and easier. Stop crying and go back and watch some older video of Mr. Silva doing pretty much the same job and you don't see him crying like you are. Grow up and get some callouses on your hands. Aye...no wonder the construction industry doesn't have good help these days with young people, it's because you’re all affraid to get a splinter. Notice Eye and ear protection, not moisturize your hands then wear gloves.
Rezo TheRockLuvr, well sort of, it’s not like he paid for it. He’s probably got a Conex box out back full of tracks. Cause we all know the only way to make that cut was with $1000.00 worth of saw and track.
I had the same problem but didn't have the tools. Ended up drilling down through and used oak pegs its solid but you can see where the pegs are.I can live with it. Has my character in it, and that is whatever gets me by an it's my home .
John Patrick I’ve got them all - plus more. I’m a DIYer. And yes, I can use them. Which is why I paid for decent tools. Waits for the “Festool is overpriced crap, buy XYZ instead....” 🙄
Graham Southern buying DeWalt or Milwaukee is hard enough for DIY guy. Glad you can afford them and make that work. Just frustrating when a "how-to" video uses tools many do not have.
Memerster23 why not? I am glad he’s employed and can feed his family but he’s not terribly special. It’s not like he has a hard job pointing out where other people screwed up. Fact is you can ask 5 contractors how to accomplish a task and you’ll get ten answers, seven of which will work perfectly fine. He does his show about the three that didn’t. Spending the majority of the time shilling for one product or another.
Jajajaja, that’s right I was watching his show last night and people called him to repair the rear deck it was damage in some areas but fixable, he remove the entire deck and build a new one for 135,000. Now The new deck cost more than the house.
wood expands and contracts in the width like he described at the beginning of the video. If there was no gap and that piece contracts, the original gap he fixed would be back.
+ shouldibehere - it's a lack of paint. It's the same thickness of the adhesive that Tom scraped off the back of the board. They painted after they installed the floor. With the adhesive removed, you see the unpainted wood.
This may look easy on tv but it's not even close to easy. This can easily be a 6 hour project if your doing this the first time. One thing i would caution about is the time of year when you do this. If it's summer leave a 32nd inch separation at the gap because the wood is in a shrunk condition. It will expand slightly in the colder months and in humidity. (Doesn't apply to 2nd or 3rd floors typically. (First floor with a crawl or a slab foundation applies) If it's winter and your installing it pull it tight because it will shrink slightly under warmer conditions. Also spread your glue in a swirl pattern about 3/4 of an inch from the edges to keep the glue from bleeding out when you press it down but also making sure to have good glue contact all the way across the board and slightly in the joint if you don't have a tongue or a groove. Throw an expert a dime and save yourself the pain of destroying your floor because you didn't get the angle right, don't own a 800.00 festool saw and slide, don't own a biscuit maker, don't know what kind of glue to use, don't know how to clean up the ends of the boards that a "circular" saw won't reach (other than a choppy chisel especially cutting across the grain) and the whole thing becomes a mess. Utmost respect for This old house I have learned so much over the years but experience has been my best tutor. I am a realist and if you try this without the experience you will fail some part of it. You will see that mistake every single time you look at it. If your brave enough to risk a single room of hardwood flooring ( 10ft x 12ft) 360.00 for the flooring 34.00 staples, 15.00 underlay, 100.00 demo if stapled 300.00 if glued, 35.00 threshold each, 400-600 dollars in labor for a pro to lay the entire floor and having your home tore up while all this is done? go with an expert. This is a 250.00 repair in most cases. Research and save yourself a lot of time and money.
Oh your a funny guy. I make my own guides until Festool comes off their price. How I do love the design of their tools though and if they would like to sponsor me I would be all over it lol! My guides are made from thin masonite material and a plastic lattice piece for the slide. They work every bit as well as the festool you just have to pay attention to what your doing. Also one thing I forgot to mention in my comment is to use a brand new finish blade when you attempt this.
Rezo TheRockLuvr, Good point but there's usually more humidity in the summer verses winter. The wood floors in my house always have bigger gaps in winter because of the dryness.
Depends on the climate zone. I'm in the south east. If I were in the north or in a harsh winter or even running a wood stove that would be different. You have to take humidity into play.
You have a lot of time on your hands. These videos aren't meant to give you a step by step to complete the process, they're meant as a guide to show you what is involved in a job like this.
At 2:58 you can see that the bad cuts all follow an even, wobbly line. It appears the installers ran those boards wild, then cut them all off in place. Trouble, they didn't know how to do it correctly.
Tool cost. Saw $660, Vac $510, Domino $910, MFT $685 = $2765. Which I'm not sure if I'm surprised by the cost just to fix a step, or saddened that I own all the tools.....
I've got the perfect solution for your tool problem; move to where I lived. I'm sure in 6 months or so you'll be gone a day and come back and find your friendly meth tweakers have moved all your tools from your house to theirs! Nice fellers that the are, they will remove everything else that isn't bolted or welded to the property as well.
As a flooring contractor, fortunately I’m not asked to do that kind of repair, except in conjunction with sanding and finishing a floor. If I were installing a floor that needed nosing, I’d have boards start there with end tongues sticking out into the nosing. The only time that I can’t do this is when the flooring runs at a diagonal. Instead of spending the money to buy biscuit joiners, I use a 5.5 inch nosing, instead of the 3.5 inch nosing shown. With only the adhesive and nails holding it down, over time stepping on the end of the nosing loosens it. The 5.5 inch nosing gives a wider center of gravity and more area to put adhesive under. I’m sure that the joiner method is better but I don’t know of any floor installers that do it.
What amazed me is that the saw track fit exactly in the opening, that is just amazing! The other thing that's interesting is...Was that a pair of underwear or a pair of shorts?
Great work and you just Have to love Festool. Excellent equipment. Shame about the face nailing. I think I would have screwed and bunged it but that would be more work so I see why they did it this way
But why use those joints to keep the nose together? I usually use a router with a flat cutting tool both on the heads of the floor boards and on the side of the nose board, for the full length, and then join using a 4mm plywood slice. Once glued with wood white glue and gluing the nose with proper flooring glue (my favourite is Kerakoll L34 Flex) there is no need to nail down the nose board, you just have to keep it pressed down for a while using some weights or extendible bars. Nice video though, I love the style. Cheers
I need tom to come to my house , that would be a show ! Fixing all my mistakes over the last 20 years. Could do a entire season

This must be some kind of sorcery, what are the odds the festool track fit exactly in that opening
You can expand them with screw.
John M yes you can expand by adding another track but still what are the odds of that be exactly the same size of the opening.
David,
The model that he's using comes in different sizes.
It was most likely nothing but a coincidence that it was the same size as the opening.
in the back of the truck, he probably has 50 different sizes in there.
John M, taking in consideration that festool track are metrics unit and that opening is most likely trim in imperial unit, what a coincidence, and trust me those track don't come in many different size (maybe 4-5 of them)
Yo can make some using metric and imperial units and they can be the same lengths.
That festool slide and saw are beautiful. No spacing the work, just drop, clamp and cut.
A mere $3,000

Looks like someone let the apprentice cut the end of the floorboards with an axe or something.
Nikola Wiche its the rusty beavers that make cuts like that!!!
Or with their teeth.
The apprentice was sick that day so they called in the arborist who was felling a tree in the backyard and he trimmed them boards with his Stihl.
The boards look like they were end match so that’s from the mill.
A lot you guys know, it was obviously a hatchet.

That is NOT a biscuit joiner. That is a Festool Domino loose tenon joiner. PLEASE!
What amazed me is that the saw track fit exactly in the opening, that is just amazing! The other thing that's interesting is...Was that a pair of underwear or a pair of shorts?
Double duty. But who cares. Nice legs. Flaunt them.
Well done !!!! Beautiful job!!!!!
...fantastic work & love the mix of old school and new: Festool Track Saw, Domino...then standard trim nail & nail set : P : )
must be nice with the tool selection at hand!
Great work and you just Have to love Festool. Excellent equipment. Shame about the face nailing. I think I would have screwed and bunged it but that would be more work so I see why they did it this way
Tommy is the best!!!
So satisfying
Having the right fancy tools make all the difference in the world.
My Dad told me, never waste $$$ on cheap tools.
"And it wasn't even that hard to do!"
Ya, you just need a festool track saw.
And a festool dust collector also de domino.
Best I could have done is my oscillating tool and a lot of time to go slow.
6:55 Tommy is like "aww shucks"
Cool pliers/ side cutter/ nail puller! I gotta get me one of those! (When I find out where to buy one!)

But why use those joints to keep the nose together? I usually use a router with a flat cutting tool both on the heads of the floor boards and on the side of the nose board, for the full length, and then join using a 4mm plywood slice. Once glued with wood white glue and gluing the nose with proper flooring glue (my favourite is Kerakoll L34 Flex) there is no need to nail down the nose board, you just have to keep it pressed down for a while using some weights or extendible bars. Nice video though, I love the style. Cheers
this guy is very proffesional
I do 2 - 3 jobs like this a week!
Your awesome tommie
I don’t think Tom has even been in a show without a chisel
I, for one, am glad she broke out her best lacy shorts for our man Tommy. Good choice Karen.
