Great book for a beginner . kzread.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.

And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
It is amazing how you can distill such a complicated, time-consuming process into such a superbly paced, super informational, and super entertaining video. I am obsessed with this channel.

This is a stellar project indeed combining multiple classical craftsmanships techniques, tools and practices :) And demanding a lot of patience as every project does. I really enjoy the series, keep up the good work; I like the editing style: no bs, music, just the background noises and wind and some narration here and there. Works perfectly! 2:03 Was there a reason for using planks lacking the tongue/groove in the first row and the last one? Now, there's a chance that it will likely create a gap as temperature, humidity etc. varies according to seasons and environment. Yes, the last plank can be a pain to fit, but doable. I have built some floors, ceilings and indoor construction for a while. Here are some tips and tricks: -Always keep the glue bottle almost full so you don't have to squeeze it that hard when glueing repeteadly and multiple joints during the same session -It is worth investing sharp & fresh blades for the mitre saw and jigsaw; the money will save, time, effort and yield more finished result in any project - and decrease the chance for splintering or skipping - and therefore increases your safety as well -Those annoying knots and holes can be filled with the mixture of sawdust and wood glue, then sand it off the next day, epoxy is valid, too -I prefer a wooden or plastic mallet when hammering the splints in to prevent splintering/breaking whether it is the case you have to really use force to get 'em in 100% Greeting from Finland!

Your videos are so well-done! The humorous clips, the time-lapse segments which are timed perfectly so that one isn't allowed to get impatient or bored but gets to see the whole process, just speedier. It's so compelling and gratifying to watch and learn everything you and your father know and do. I thank you for the already many hours I've spent enjoying the heck out of your videos.
I want to commend you on thoroughly detailed restoration information plus handy tips you give out. I love watching your videos because the old school way you work with wood. Has struck a memory for me, because this is exactly how my grandfather worked with wood... He's been gone 34 years but not forgotten... He was a carpenter and contractor loved his work
I am not alone in (having been) looking forward to this - such an incredible amount of work and craftsmanship… regardless of the fact you though some elements were unnecessary or over complicated, you have achieved a level of technical ability that some can only dream of. Very well done!

that's how stairbuilders do it. beautiful. I've cut a lot of staircases, interior and exterior, a few winders in my day, but nothing to the degree these fellas did. gorgeous joinery
Hi Carl, it's looking Awesome!! Be great to come and see your project and meet up with you!!
You are really a young versatile and skillful young man, thanks for allowing us to from you stay blessed.
good evening Carl et Dad... gentlemen, for over 52 minutes, i've been mesmerized by the attention and craftmenship you've employed in this project. living two or three departments from you, i understand completely your concerns and anxious moments about buying local 'Leboncoin' wood. i was quite happy to see you wearing your "SLIM." i wear mine with pride. i must say, this kind of craftmanship does not exist in California to my knowledge. i'm learning new terminology, hands-on techniques and wood working applications. with those wedges, nothing going to move or budge. thanks for providing us with a dessert-like vidéo. there's nothing sweeter than 'smelling fresh cut Oak in the morning." cheers
I love to see a craftsman do a worthwhile project. You are all Aces, young man.
This brings back memories of making a small staircase as part of my apprenticeship in the early eighties.
When putting screws into oak it's important to use a correctly sized pilot drill and countersink bit. This will prevent screws snapping and provide much better grip. Really nice work though, oak is a fabulous wood to work with, just very hard.
Man that view at 9:53 is crazy! Such a beautiful landscape!
Beautiful work! I'm past the age of doing projects like this, but certainly enjoy watching them done so well. Thanks!
Those oak boards make a super solid bottle opener!
When I started my Cabinetmaking Apprenticeship back in the late 70's worked in lumber breakout for a commercial cabinet/millwork shop. I can't begin to imagine how many feet of solid oak, walnut and alder boards I ran thru a massive overhead rip saw, then a 16" long bed jointer to get a 90-degree corner and then thru a 24" wide planer for thickness. All these machines were large commercial machines that took a great deal of space so to see the small system you are using to get the same results is something that lets the smaller home-based shop such as yours, do great work in small spaces.
Those prepared stringers were beautiful to behold, and the finished staircase magnificent. 🙏🏼
My father was a finish carpenter and stairs were his bread and butter. This brought me back to his shop, his side hustle, making stairs for people’s projects.
I loved every minute of that. Looking forward to Part 3. Genuinely first class carpentry there Carl!
Your skillset and ability are so far beyond other youtube channels. I love watching, and wish you posted more
Amazing! You always make your work so perfect that it looks like fine furniture! I cannot imagine that the cabinet makers 300 years ago could have come anywhere close to the tolerances that your skill and fine electric tools have provided.
I can’t find the correct words to say how impressed I am. Thank you for sharing the details.
You have got the patience of a saint knocking all those nails in by hand Carl! I'm lucky that we could hire a PortaNailer locally, and used it when we installed T&G ash floorboard in our house. They are really simple to use, so if you're considering doing this it's well worth hiring one! We didn't have T&G on the end of our boards though, which was fine as we were installing them over a subfloor, but it does mean that the odd one where the end cuts aren't perfectly parallel and they touch - they squeak a little. These oak floor boards are stunning, and the staircase is beautiful. I bottled making my own as they are so complicated particularly with UK building regulations, and I was offered a freebie which I've then modified to add a winder, and I'm in the process of cladding it in leftover ash flooring. I'd love to have the skills and tools to make one like that!
Your patience and hard work really paid off ! These stairs are beautiful !!!!
Молодцы! Как у вас все слажено. Я с вами с начала. Не многие смогут так как вы 👍👍👍
Nice work. In 1980 I built a staircase as entry to my house in Hawaii, so it was exterior work in a (very) wet environment. It had 15 risers. I used 4 x 12 for the horses, let in 3/4" for (3) 4 x 4, gapped, as treads, 48" wide. It is still standing in good shape being used every day but I did cover it a rain roof. I used to waterproof everything once a year.
19:20 that sequenz is marvelous! Just remember how I discovered how to look if it is sqaure and straight. It´s like a gem in my mind :). Good Job on the editing!
we used to build those rabbited staircases by the same method but would assemble them with the stringers on a wide table with the upper face down on the table and install each tread/riser one at a time so you could wedge each side before moving down to the next tread/riser...and so on.
I am very impressed by your building of the staircase! Such a lot of figuring and cutting and routing and planing, etc. Just wow!
Such a treat ... the honesty when you bugger it up is very much a big part of the attraction to your videos
Good to see a young man take pride in the job he's doing, not a common find anymore.
In rural France(basse Normandy,) we layed over 100 sq. meters of .23cm oak floorboards(like yours,) 20 years ago; no nailgun but I did predrill the starting hole in the male slot of the oak flooring. Helped a great deal. Also sticking nails into axel grease helps but one needs patient assistant(was only my wife at the time,) and that wouldn't have lasted half of the morning....Great project; love watching...cheers...rr
Im pretty much gifted with no carpentry skills at all but I was told to make sure to leave a gap for wooden floor boards at the outer edge in order to have space to expand which inevitably happens due to temperature changes or moisture in the air. I was told that it would be necessary to prevent floor boards to bulge up.

Wow, love the work you're doing, you two are real wood artists!!
Nice work, I really enjoyed that video. Juts a note on your splines, they have the same grain orientation as the boards so they basically add 0 strength. You would need the grain to run at least 45° between the planks and not parallel.
@mircomuntener4643
Жыл бұрын
I was watching that as well, there is a local guy here that was doing the same thing, only his, thinner, wider, softwood splines went in even looser than these. I mentioned the same issue to him, his answer was that's how woodworkers have been doing it for a long time. My experience watching the steps of some of the obviously skilled craftsmen on youtube is that their joints are already tight and strong even before glue. I was surprised to see these loose parallel grained splines go in this application.
@TooShortPlancks
Жыл бұрын
The main advantage of the splines is to increase the total surface area of the joint in this instance vs a regular butt joint. With the grain running the same direction, effectively the spline and the rest of the wood is acting like one homogenous piece, with the glue reinforcing the contact area between them. So it should remain very strong for the stresses and loads expected to be put on the treads.
White oak is such a superb wood. It’s as solid as it is beautiful ! You are certainly doing it justice with your awesome work 👌
This Land is really a peace of Paradies,and d ,,Castle,, is Spectacular renovated. ❤❤❤
Well that was worth waiting for I’ve never seen such a job done so well This was so interesting Great video 👍👍👍👍👍
I love to watch and appreciate your fine work, but can't help thinking about the phenomenal amount of work put in by the original makers of that staircase. Without power tools everything would have been hand tools. Back and forth with a hand saw, every groove chased out with a chisel.
Your work is inspiring. I have to build in my old farmhouse in North Germany a stair as well and now I knew how. Thx
I love it when you show us the views of your lovely countryside. Bruised and battered hands, another sign of a great craftsman. That sander really got your hand good, I hope you said a few choice words.! Your right patience is key, but so is KNOWLEDGE. Basic physics also comes into play. I had a border collie that looked just like Ruse's mom. Her name was Trixie. One of her pups came out a golden redish brown and we called him Rust. Wow an elephant could walk up or down those stairs a thousand times and they would not even bend. That must have been a great feeling when you put the puzzle pieces together and they fit! It was more than beginners luck it was skill!
I am really fond of your work, and it is spectacular, I believe this new staircase is going to last longer than the previous one ! Really well done :) If I juste may say something about the cement, it is still quite important not to use it in old stone houses because of humidity that still is in the stone and can break them, but also because it doesn't move as well as lime with time (in a few years of time you'll have cracks that you wouldn't have with a lime mix). If you can, you should use only cement for foundations, forget it elsewhere :) Can't wait to see what you'll show us in the future Best regards and keep up the good work :) A fellow french guy renovating an old house

I'm so much in line with this comment. I love 99% of what is done in this channel, and the 1% I really dilike is the use of cement. Lime mortar is not that difficult to use and so, so much more durable. It stays plastic and doesn't crack, it is perspirant and respect the huidity equilibrium between inside and outside the wall.

Although labour intensive, and without waiting to see how you will attach them, I think the splines in the treads will keep the boards from buckling in a few decades when the glue of a butt joint starts to break down. Maybe, perhaps, kind of worth it?
This old lady french house is in good hands. That stair will be incredibely nice. Wouldn't have thought a minute how tecnical it was. Guess it has been the most difficult work till now. Absolutely addict to your channel. Thanks Carl!
Building stairs is got to be the most intimidating, at least for me, part of carpentry. You guys nailed it, beautiful workmanship. Personally, I think the use of a spline joint was a good move.
You should definitely use a dust extractor! Oak dust has been proven to be very carcinogenic.
Wow great job, just found your channel, I’m obsessed! And I for one love that you used a hammer instead of a tool to put in the decking/flooring. Very impressed by your skills, my dads name is Carl and he’s a builder too. I gotta say at first I thought you were older, then I realized you’re really young, how old are you? Your skills are impressive.
Amazing , restorations and recycling with “WONKY” OAK timber . A job well done and a lot of work. !
I have to tell you that this is like a master class on carpentry. It's like watching Norm Abrams from New Yankee Workshop. I am so glad I tuned-in to this and, not that I'll ever use it, it has taught me some serious skill-sets. The one thing I keep cringing about is wearing that loose-fitting shirt around a saw-blade. I know, I know! I probably sound like your Dad about now. Thanks for the videos; they're priceless.
Great job on the stairs it’s looking really good so far 😊 I have to say the lack of safety you use by removing the guards on these is totally unbelievable, that planer thing is lethal, if you need to have a wake up call look at Perkins Builder Brothers, Jamie the one brother had an accident with one and has lost 3 fingers though he uses quite a futuristic cool thing on his hand now I’m sure he would prefer real fingers. There is no good reason to remove guards. 😊👍

AWESOME video! In the US we never see fine joinery work like this! It was neat to see how these stairs were constructed. The manner that these stairs are constructed appears to be far superior structurally than the methods we use here!
A straight-edged nosing is better than a rounded one, though the latter may be aesthetically better looking. Rounded nosing has a repeated danger of foot slipping when using the stairs. Trust me, I’m talking from experience! BTW, you are quite an artist at your work. Keep it up!
