Can we get a link for your new mobile ban saw?

[@kasperpetersen1934]

Whats the new projekt?

[@morganskinner3863]

Absolutely gorgeous work, but I have to ask, why have you put blue tape over the brand name of your chop saw? And oddly enough you missed the brand name in one shot. Let’s face it, everyone knows what a Kapex looks like and who makes it, so I just thought it odd to see the names taped over. Clearly you might not be able to say, but I thought I’d ask anyway!

[@contemporarygent]

Both vids were a great watch - thanks Carl

[@A-Light-from-Heaven_]

Luke 12:20 But LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST said to him: 'You fool ! This very night your soul will be demanded back , and whose will be the things you have prepared ?

[@robertshaer6603]

Very rarely comment as I prefer lurking in the shadows but I have to say Carl your work and your videos is absolutely top notch mate. Kudos to you and your Dad for all your work mate.

[@p.a.reysen3185]

After constructing several log cabins, We've discovered that when using wooden pegs, it's better to use a wooden mallet (made from scrap) instead of a steel hammer. And if the pin is located where the mallet is awkward, a angled backing board can be used as an intermediary surface. Metal hammers can easily split or splinter even the hardest wood. But so far, looks great.

[@davidelliott5843]

I use a rubber mallet on chisels. Only need the beech wood version for heavy jobs.

[@darrylr]

As for marking the second pair of faces to cut on the band saw. Take the offcuts and tape one of them back onto the post, just wrap with masking tape. Then mark from the template onto those. You can also use hot glue etc.

[@dubioushumor9243]

Was going to say the same thing

[@jimurrata6785]

Yep. I mark two sides when the post is whole and tack the pieces back on with hot glue. Much easier than trying to freehand the profile and it adds back _some_ of the support of the square post.

[@darrylr]

@@dubioushumor9243 Yep everybody with a bit of time on a bandsaw. 🙂 A wonderfully flexible, under-appreciated tool.

[@dawn5227]

Yes! Exactly what I was going to say.

[@daveperkins2927]

Yep this, the hot glue gun is even better. 👍

[@markkaes3144]

Made me feel better to hear, “if you’re not making mistakes you’re probably not learning” Beautiful work!

[@gnillut]

@@cmmartti every mistake you don't commit to is not a mistake. How many mistakes do you recon you should catch before one materializes?

[@gnillut]

If you don't do anything, you will not make any mistakes.

[@koolkar55]

Should have popped in a record between the under boards & staircase of when & how this restoration was done so people in 300 years' time would be as amazed as we are watching your work.

[@vnickcolvin4971]

It looks like Carl left a secret message under the stairs so maybe he included.😊

[@horatiohornblower868]

He could also have put some insulation between the underboards and the stairs to muffle the sound of the steps. Always good when you come home at night…

[@davidelliott5843]

Stairs that heavy won’t resound like normal domestic stuff.

[@HansWurst-xj7xh]

Woah two in 24 hours, thanks mate! Love ur videos, doing some renovation projects myself and am always inspired by what you lads are doing!

[@toh2002]

Amazing work. Glad to see your Dad up and around after his surgery. I also had my right knee replaced 2 months ago.

[@ryanhagler9410]

Tip for future… keep what you’ve already cut out and masking tape them back in place and draw on your template

[@atomcooper]

I love your work! I'm so glad you still have an index finger (26:03). That's the only time I thought you might have done something "questionable". I'm not the safety police. But so glad you got away with that one. Keep up the excellent work.

[@SalvoDan]

When you were trimming those Floorboards on the table saw, All I could think about what happened to Nerdforge and her prosthetic little finger.

[@TheSpaceKidette]

Love your restoration work. Your attention to detail, craftsmanship and the mental gymnastics required to make it all work are a joy to watch. Thanks for putting it out for us all to watch!

[@adrianstephens56]

Great video. High quality work. I suspect I was not the only watcher who winced when you put your hand into the circular saw recess to pull out the offcut.

[@hanvyj2]

Literally just finished the last video and 20 seconds later you've uploaded this one! Great.

[@carlroge]

😉

[@lillirod]

Love watching the high quality of your work, no matter how massive the project may be! The renovation is already amazing.

[@jamessmith7691]

I had an old friend that was very well versed in wood working . From having his own saw mill to final finishing work. Watching your show has also taught me a lot. One old crafter once said the same thing, "it's not if you mess up, it's what you do with it." Always makes me wonder how it was done back in the day so well. Good video.

[@wendysalter]

When you slipped the top newel into position my heart missed a beat. What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. It looks fabulous. Those trees would be so proud to see themselves now! I love watching you both work - glad Dad's knee is doing well. I'm getting a Jackory! Yeay! Now all I need is some sun haha.

[@rosemarshall1219]

This stairs session is absolutely stunning.

[@jmg6887]

Wow! The stairs turned out a real stunner! The Joints on the handrailing are so nice and tight. Just an opinion, but i was left sort of disapointed with the veneered flooring as a closure for the bottom part of the stair way. It just looks kind of cheap. I understand the cost effectivness and how easy they were to install. I just feel they wernt really doing the rest of the stairs justice. I couldnt live with them "stairing" at me.

[@aaronhall3707]

When cutting shapes out of square stock just tape the offcuts back on so you have a flat surface for your template

[@judymielcarek6011]

For such a young man you’re really good at what you do. Can’t wait to see the finished staircase.

[@alainlefevre5059]

Art doesn’t necessarily always need to come with a frame around …greetings from the Lot, your neighbours!

[@carlwhite8225]

Absolutely the best craftsmanship I have seen, thank you for sharing the journey.

[@ТимофейЛодченков]

Я думаю о том, что когда - то в будущем, кто - то так же будет снимать видео об этом доме, через 100 или 200 лет, и эта работа не канет в бездну. Очень круто, что человек, оставляет после себя такое наследие.. Так же как и мастера прошлого, которые сделали такую красоту.

[@danceztar]

such craftmanship. reminds me of my grandpa, making a mill, wooden figures and all kind of stuff himself. Ur videos is so inspiring.

[@stephenburns3678]

What a commitment to fine craftsmanship. Thank you

[@EM-fh2tx]

My heart nearly stopped when you put your hand so close to the table saw!

[@fastvelz]

Carl- thanks for this staircase series. I wish i could do a neat job like that. Thanks for sharing the ups & downs.

[@nataliakhartskhaeva7446]

Отлично! Береги себя,соблюдай технику безопасности. Здоровья вашему папе.Спасибо за видео.

[@catgynt9148]

Thank you Carl, this is a wonderful video presentation of your restoration journey. That is a gnarly scar that your dad has from his knee replacement surgery. Trusting that he will continue to heal and regain the use of his knee without too much discomfort. Wishing you and your family a blessed autumn season filled with gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace brother.

[@167curly]

You show as much skill as a woodworker in the reign of Louis XV. Good to see Dad back on his feet again now too. I enjoy seeing your work and your commentary + your humour. Thanks, Carl.

[@jamesnichols9753]

Amazed at your attention to detail and yes if we are not making mistakes we are not learning. You have one amazing heart to restore something so beautiful.

[@loom1c]

You are a craftsman extraordinaire. (I am the third generation of a four generation of woodworkers.) Loved watching you mastering the staircase. Great job. Well done 🤎

[@ljd8520]

I'd love to impart these skills with my sons. Great job Carl, it really is a pleasure to watch all this.

[@kymmarshall1116]

I like the way you go about it Carl . Your videos are no bs and appreciate the tips that you pass on 👍🏾🇦🇺

[@rainerl-h259]

regarding to mistakes: You can make mistakes, but you must not repeat them. Great work (The stairs AND the video!)

[@mylesdent2214]

You guys are seriously superb. I can spend hours watching you work. I just can't understand where you have acquired your exceptional skills at such a young age Carl?

[@jiiwoodworking]

At the beginning, when you were working on your decorative tops on the posts, you could have hot glued your off cuts back on. that way you have some what of a flat surface to trace on. BUT with that said, looks like you didnt need to do that! excellent work brotha man.

[@lafayette574]

You are the 'Michelangelo' of carpentry!!! Such skills! It is fascinating to watch you at work.

[@drmkiwi]

All good. The best was the sound of the last tap on the top peg of the lower newel post. Different sound to all previous taps and it sounded like everything just became one on the last stroke. Magnificent countryside and quite spectacular drone footage. Thanks for all the hours of fascinating video. Cheers, David

[@Sarge0311]

I like how you made the pattern to make the posts for the hand rails for the stairs. And taking off the shelve router bit and making it into what you need is awesome

[@dismafuggerhere2753]

never thought I'd have such a thing as my favourite sets of stairs in the world but between you guys and New Yorkshire Workshop I now do.

[@edithclemmons3616]

This man must be over the top being able to do this restoration with his son. Looks really good WOW.

[@dougieranger]

With these films you are really spoiling us. One of my favourite channels on youtube Carl. Best wishes to your Dad, I hope makes a full recovery from his knee surgery.

[@karakondjo2]

I love watching this young man work hard and with attention to fine detail. This is something that we all need to do. Keep up the good work!

[@kentshrader6616]

Great work!! You are a gifted carpenter and craftsman!! Thanks for sharing!

[@laapulsford]

What a beautiful piece of work. The oak loos spectacular.. Great job Carl.

[@st3althyone]

I’m so glad I found your channel. Your work is impeccable, and your editing is spot on. I can’t wait to see the stairs completed, but I will be sad when the whole project is finally finished. Thanks for keeping us entertained. Stay safe, and we’ll see you on the next episode. Thanks for everything, Carl.

[@wileast1266]

I agree. It’s wonderful to watch a father and son creating such beauty with wood. I suggest you might want to watch Mr Chickadee. You will be totally blown away! Self taught, no power tools and no music or talking. So peaceful to watch and satisfying to watch his creations come together. His wife does the filming and you can put closed captions on for explanations of what he is doing. If you do watch I’d love to hear what you think 😊.

[@siegriedroy6467]

Wow, after month of work the result of staircase and room is so unbeliveable nice!!!

[@alextigera]

Amazing job. I can appreciate the patience put into this job.

[@dougsaunders8109]

Lovely job mate. Your workshop must smell great with all that oak being cut, very distinctive

[@darrennicholson7203]

Well done lads. Thats one beautiful staircase and something to be proud of. Really enjoy your videos.

[@philipstainer5093]

As an old 'wood-butcher' I really enjoy the meditative, thoughtful carpentry and building you do Carl.

[@FrancesEJones]

Your craftsmanship is beautiful to watch. Dedication!

[@tylerlane7105]

This staircase is nicer than anything i've ever seen and it's just the staircase

[@douglasmorton6121]

I could watch good old carpentry/joinery skills all day. Very nice work Sir! I'm glad to see your Pops working with you after his surgery. You two make a good team! Stay Safe!!!

Opened youtube specifically to check if I didn’t miss any new video. And here it is uploaded 6 hrs. ago. And another one yesterday as a bonus! Awesome 🤩

[@gbentley8176]

Looking good. You and your Pa make a good team. Couple of tips if you do not do this already. Get a block of beeswax and make a habit of treating sawblades and band saw and surfaces whilst working Oak and similar wood. Secondly especially at the end of the day, cramp your workpiece and chisel without your arm in the line of the blade. i.e try to chisel 2 handed as much as possible Sounds obvious but will save many a needless accident. Oak floor responds well when installing the joints tightly to a pre wax. Leave your glue only alter if it shifts naturally in the newel. Hope this helps. Stay safe and thank you for posting warts and all. That is reality in the workshop!.

[@Crash_Low]

Use a stick to poke wood out the way when cutting dude! There's a reason alot of the old boys who don't believe in that health and safety having missing digits haha That said, great video and amazing craftsmanship.

[@АлексейПолтавцев-о2з]

I love your channel, you do everything very professionally and with high quality, my respect to your industriousness

[@NR-EDIT]

Love all your stuff. You said new video before christmas... :)

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. I am enjoying watching the staircase build. I am not saying that I hope it continues indefinitely, just that it is amazing to see how it is actually accomplished. Really nice workmanship.

[@tattedweelamb]

The amount of patience and precision is truly amazing!❤

[@tremolos86]

Such a great channel 🙂. I admire all your attention to details and combining old techniques with new, and especially that you keep the originality and fabricate with oak wood. Its not easy to work with oak and create all those details.

[@btphelps]

The quality of your work and the enormous patience you have is inspiring. Not sure I would have reached into the saw to pull those pieces out of the way though.

[@AndyM_323YYY]

The stairs are looking great. I think (with the enormous advantage of hindsight) if the blocks you had put beneath the stairs had been made more decoratively, the underside of the stairs could have been left open to create a nice feature.

[@glennreach6930]

I had a boss years ago that told me if I wasn't making mistakes, I wasn't working hard enough!😁

[@anthonym612]

Came by for Carl’s fantastic craftsmanship, stayed for the ‘micro adjuster’. Cheers, mate - thanks for sharing your work with us!

[@alfonsoreinapinero8514]

Solo decirte que me parece un trabajo increíble. Te felicito por los vídeos que subes al canal y te ánimo a continuar con tu canal. Estás reconstruyendo tu casa con pasión y amor. Eso se nota mucho. Un saludo desde España.

[@Moloch152]

27:00 it's nice to see a Polish accent on a foreign construction site :) greetings from Poland

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Sweet! 2 vids in 2 days . Feeling spoiled. 👍

[@chriswatson9818]

The stairs are coming out amazing! One of the hardest things in carpentry is a staircase, you guys make it look easy! Can't wait for more videos!

[@eddieforce2341]

It is a real pleasure to see true Craftsmen at work. Keep up the great videos.

[@InsertWittyName]

Yeah boooooy! Back to back Eps on the stairs - amazing! TBF - I loved seeing the footage from trying to make the old posts work on the last video. None of that is a waste; it takes your time, but teaches you so much more.

[@InsertWittyName]

Also, whilst I know most are here for the joinery it's awesome to see the 'lived in' look with the plants climbing back up the barn - love it, good work Carl and the apprentice ;)

[@stevea6722]

Man I cringed at 26:03, reaching in so near the running blade to raise the cutoff and the next piece as well! Really like the fact you show the mistakes and the fixes, the true test of a finish carpenter is to fix and cover the mistakes so no one can tell. Anxious to see the finished staircase.

[@DM-mp6gq]

I agree. Your craftsmanship is phenomenal. Please don’t put your hands so close to a running blade. Lower the blade and use a zero clearance insert!

[@curl-E]

You guys are doing a great job!! Videos like yours make me wish I was more handy and knew how to use my tools better.

[@ColeMcConnell]

If you twist the handles to the upright position, the Mafell bandsaw is a lot more stable using it like a standard bandsaw. I use mine like this all the time and it works great!

[@shakeradio]

awesome work mate! well done, the videos were amazing! thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻

[@andrewclarkehomeimprovement]

I think we all have jobs that never seem to end! You're making a beautiful job of the stairs Carl. Hope your dad is doing well with his knee, if he is able to kneel on the ground without toppling over then major success.

[@dan__________________]

Tip, if you want to draw the template lines on the post after you have made the first two cuts all you do is tape the cutoffs back on with painters tape. Then draw the lines on a flat surface and cut it out.

[@Lamme91]

When cornering the shoulders you went back a couple of centimeters just to go over it again and even that bump out - thank you. Great atmosphere as always.

[@jeanhawken4482]

The most beautiful workmanship. Such a treat

[@sydneyevans2637]

Great job, gentlemen! The staircase turned out beautifully. Perhaps you could use the old ones for a plant stand or some sort of table. Much admiration for your skill!

[@Hdarg]

Great videos! They are my zen videos to relax after a long workday. Just have to say that I got a bit nervous when you get that finger near the blade!

[@gb4375]

Pure artistry, my father would have loved to watch your skills and design.

[@carolynknight1520]

Such oak, rare, extraordinary. Fitting for your restoration rebuild. Son and father crafting together good to see. Enjoy your new stairway!

[@dwb73]

I'm enjoying your restoration series very much. It's great to see this kind of craftsmanship and attention to detail being kept alive. Well done! BTW: When I first saw you I would have sworn it was Dhani Harrison, son of the late Beatle George Harrison. Looking forward to watching more as you move forward on the build.

[@Adamswoodworking]

I always absolutely love watching your videos, you put so much work into this beautiful home and always look forward to the next video

[@OriginalRaveParty]

Amazing results. It's a work of art and a show of real skill.

[@blackdog850]

Totally glad I purchased my 1732 coaster set! Love the project and the history behind the project! Thanks for sharing! Best wishes to you and the family!

[@johnthresher259]

Amazing craftsmanship!

[@AreaKisah]

I think it's very good

[@Somuchsawdust]

Those post and rails look amazing. As I about to redue mine this was great to watch for tips. Thanks

[@gnillut]

This staircase is amazing. Great work, and attention to detail! This is rare. Figured you would chicken out and only carry the one post, even with an upgraded knee, but I be damned, you grabbed the 2nd one as well!

[@wirenut003]

Can't get any better than that, on the woodworking nicely done. Also, like that band saw you just got saves a lot of time with the finer cuts I think. Cheers

[@TonyBanks21]

What a fantastic endeavour-you are a very skilled young man,having done the majority of the work on this staircase,yourself-Love your Jackery power pack-mist look at where I can get one of those !!

[@jimcooksey812]

For those matching cuts, save your cut outs and double side tape them back in to use your template. Love the videos! Thanks for the entertainment!

[@MrAsBBB]

Fantastic video. excellent quality work. Note to everyone, when working with power tools ,don’t wear loose clothing. I managed to stop a 3000rpm router with a shirt that had come loose . I was routing a worktop using a jig and all I could see was clouds of material. I was so lucky, as all that was hurt was my shirt and my dignity. Keep safe and enjoy woodworking.

[@rasmuskurten8455]

You're a first class carpenter! Cudos to you and your work! We're lucky to be able to follow along. Thank you!

[@mrsboxcar]

My father-in-law always removed the newel caps in the house and made secret caches underneath in the post. One newel post held a rifle to protect the family upstairs. They did this in the 1940's and they were still in use when I moved in around 1980.

[@burgettboys123]

My dad is having knee replacement surgery next month. Glad to see yours up and about. Hope the recovery wasn’t too bad.

[@devisionhun]

So surprised you let the vines grow back on the barn pillars. And the replacements really do already look almost identical less than a year later! Awesome
