GREAT VIDEO, GREAT CONTENT, SUPER EXPLANATION!!!
That wasnAwesome
I'm not sure what to think about this. Didn’t you see a missfire when it happened?
Excellent repair
So you repair a board that is cracked then you cracked your replacement board. Terrible job
Never seen? Done it multiple times 🤷
Great job
You should let Dad work and keep your little grubby hands out of his workspace.
That’s a lot of work. Some melt in hard wax and a touch of stain would make it disappear. Oh yea, that’s a different skill set. 😢
Get a Mohawk furniture repair kit. Do not remove wood.
They actually split the end piece when hammering it in place. 😂
Nothing new here. A simple repair done reasonably effectively following a method in use for fifty years. The flooring is 2-1/4” red oak so it’s not a high end job. I do love how the moving blanket is used to kneel on, not to protect the existing floor!
I'm from the past I don't have a video
Amazing
One little slip and you made a huge mess
Much more difficult on a concrete sub surfaced with urethane adhesive.
Nice job!! 👌👌👍👍👍👍
Call me Hack I know but can we go wood fill shade of Oak and color stain pen an small paint brush with clear poly on it
Wood filler and stain wouldn't have worked?
That little bleb? Put a rug on it
You stated you were using a skil saw to cut thru flooring. Then you picked up a Makita Power saw. ? Very nice repair job though. I am impressed with final look.
Ha ! Sub floor try that in a New Orleans home !!!
Very good work just use drop cloths Prayers 🙏
Over 30yrs in wood flooring I've repaired many floors. We would use chisels back in the day but the Fein tool changed that. I just align a framing sq along the board edge and put the end were needed. Cut straight down rocking the blade back and forth. Using this method I toothed in an 8' opening and used only ONE blade! That's over 40 cuts with one blade!
Nice. What would you do for the thinner (not narrower) hardwood that doesn't have a subfloor rather it's glued down onto a slab?
👍👏
Makita!!!
Talk talk talk talk to much
I would have seen it during installation and never would have had to came back to it after it was finished.
Craftsmen don’t refer to their work as a hack. Only a hacker would
now that it's glued, how can you repair it again? lol
You could have done a small room by the time you finished the repair.
Are you going to do anything about the end he split while bashing it in?
Oh look a Makita commercial.
The flooring installers had to make a similar repair of their mishap in front of our kitchen sink. They did okay except for face nailing the replacement board and using no glue, resulting in a squeaky board every time someone stepped on it. I stopped the squeak with a liberal amount of dry silicone spray.
The new piece doesn’t match 😂😂😂😂
Just kidding.
Stupid idea. Too risky for a small scratch. Which you proved by cracking the new piece as you hammered it in. A better vid would have been showing how to repair a scratch.
