Making Tongue And Groove Flooring From A Fallen Tree.

This makes me really miss my dad... He passed away 2021 Christmas eve... I haven't stepped foot in his workshop since he died but I really think it's time to carry his word working stuff forward. This channel is really Inspiring.

Getting ready to make some quarter-sawn white oak flooring, for 160 year old family farm house. Used your video to get a sense of steps-sequence for T&G production. You not only provided a very clear and simple approach to that, but I REALLY liked how you spent "screen time" illustrating dealing with shop waste, recycling, reusing and repurposing. As any of us with a mill/shop quickly learns, the "natural trash" generated by making volumes of fine lumber out of trees is gargantuan. Like you, I'm always looking find something sensible to do with the by products...and keep my work area clear! Tool tips were also invaluable. Thanks, and I'm sure to be studying a lot more of your work. 👍🏻

Love the "ask me how I know this" . Teaching from actual experience, not from pseudo experience!! 👍🏻

I like the idea of cutting the bottom edge of the groove side a sixteenth short of the top edge, so you can get the top edges tight.

You gain a lot of appreciation for all the work that goes into making lumber watching you make these boards. Nice work!

Love wood floors. I built my house 4 years ago and was pleasantly surprised the builder offered 3/4" red oak as an option. My wife and I wanted a zero carpet house so we had them do the wood everywhere except where there is tile in bathrooms and laundry, even the closet floors are oak. They did a hand scraped distress and dark cherry stain that just looks amazing. Never thought I could get a new home with floors like this.

Blue mineral tubs!!! Don't know how I ever lived without them. Getting ready to do tongue and groove pine planks and this gave me a good idea of what to expect. Great video!

An extremely under rated channel! (for now at least). Not only do you have a high skill set and resources for a number of different trades, but you have excellent teaching skills as well which makes you different than a lot of other channels in this category. Keep up the good work!

Timber is one of the finest gifts God gave to mankind. It is no wonder His Son was a professional carpenter His whole life (except for just over three years).

Love your wood shop , some people love watching football , basketball, etc. I love watching woodworkers build something in their wood shop.

I also have a Woodmaster Planer. Mine is a 12 inch and about 35 years old. Works great...Now. I had trouble feeding and didn't feel comfortable with was on the table. I feared that the was would transfer to my wood and mess with the various finishes I use. My "fix" was purchasing a UHMW sheet for my particular planer from Woodmaster that fit my feed table. WOW, what a difference that made. I have had the UHMW sheet for about 1 year or so, and it is a real pleasure to use. No trouble with non-feeding at all now. Great video you have here. Thanks

What a process! Pretty impressive that you were able to take this from a log, to the sawmill, to the kiln, etc. all the way to a finished product. Not only are there a bunch of steps, but you did quite a stack of lumber each time. Really nice work on the milling process and on the video.

Just wanted to thank you for all the wisdom you've shared on this channel.

Painting all your sides before the installation is definitely going to make an incredibly long lasting and beautiful project!

I've said it before, and I'm saying it again: This is my favourite channel on YouTube! So awesome to see that tree become these floor boards. 😎👍

Absolutely my favorite channel! You work the land and the materials that land produces as it should be. In this so called modern world where everyone wants what’s everything right then, at that moment, it’s really nice to see things being used, and created the way it was intended to be. Thanks for the paint tip, as well for the trim tip!! Just started a large trim project.

Wow. It's so cool to see a fallen tree in the woods turned into so many useful things.

Enjoyed the video. I have made mountains of sawdust, making custom flooring in my one-man shop. Here's a coupla ideas to consider. On the grove edge, if you quickly run it back thru the tablesaw and take 1/64-1/32 off of the bottom "tongue" only, it will insure that the top joint will always be tight as can be!. Also, you might consider making a plywood sled jig that rides in tablesaw t-slot with a coupla adjustable toggle clamps. This will make your one-edging operation super fast and super accurate. And you can do up to about 10' stock. I used to do this before I bought my 11' sliding table saw - yeah, I know - that is cheating!

I really enjoyed this video. I have a sawmill and was looking for a way to turn my lumber into flooring. Thank you!!!

This is why I love rough sawn lumber. It's like the most fulfilling thing to create usable building material from it
