#4 OLD OAK POSTS | Building a Staircase

[@carlroge]

this was an interesting one - lots of steps forward, backwards, sideways... progress is never linear on these. enjoy. ps. coasters, t-shirts, toolbelts: www.carlrogers.co

[@IOTWVUVWTOI]

Go pro makes the wood look warped. Loving the videos as always despite the go pro wonky looking wood

[@johngrace199]

I've never seen a handheld bandsaw used for woodworking...very well done. Good for you...

Not a fan of your first person camera view

[@benw5022]

Hooray, Carl is back! Carl, do you think we could get a tour of the main house? It would be fascinating see it.

[@jimwilloughby]

Ben, I was thinking the same. It's been a while since episode 3 of the staircase job.

[@hebierob]

Love your channel!

[@jasoncdebussy]

Agreed!

[@Nick-from-norfolk]

You need a fein multi tool, i have a 15 century farm house and it’s saved me hours of time, I’m a diyer though and not up to your impeccable standards

[@longvuvan5519]

I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete kzbin.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!

[@alasdairhamilton1574]

Makes you appreciate the original carpenter 300 years ago. Who built it with no power tools or modern equipment💪. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@vondutch7406]

I cannot but admire those people who could do the same thing 300 years ago without the modern equipments we have today.

[@MrPeller80]

Been sitting here for months waiting for you Carl!!!! Love the channel. I live vicariously through you ahhahah

[@WesternkindArt]

Watching the incredible skill and precision it took to remake this staircase makes me appreciate the original artisans even more.

[@koolkar55]

Go-Pro shots are fine. Anything to make it easier for you. We are privileged that you share this amazing transformation. Thank you & great work. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.

[@grantwilson5420]

I definitely agree. Anything you make I am happy to watch

[@hughbishopnh]

Carl, you are a Saint for trying to refurbish and use the old newel posts but new fits better so new it is.

[@99andrianmonk]

Another outstanding video, Carl. You have unbelievable level of patience and skills. Truly informative and enjoyable to watch. New video equipment worked well.

[@АндрейД-й1ж]

Здравствуйте ! Всегда жду ваше новое видео . Спасибо что показываете вашу работу ... hello ! Always waiting for your new video. Thanks for showing your work...

[@nataliakhartskhaeva7446]

Какого замечательного сына - помощника, воспитал отец! Хвала отцу! Отличное видео, рада встрече.

[@arvidpaulius7816]

[@maryhilton1558]

Wonderful to see you back. All you do is amazing! Thumbs up for the GoPro. Have a joyful and safe holiday season.

[@gerrym4377]

36:30 and others like it - an oscillating tool would make your life so much easier here, I have a Fein Multimaster and it has been an absolute game changer for renovating 👍

[@gerarddonoghue6622]

I was just thinking the very same myself

[@stevebabiak6997]

And there are numerous brands out there that might be more budget friendly (given that the power planer he purchased during this video seemed to be partly based on budget). And it could even be useful for use in cutting some of the tenons where a drill and large spade bit were used. 9:53

[@nena4215]

Besides your work being absolutely fantastic, your filming is even better, always a treat to watch, thank you!

[@daviddavis2597]

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night! Blue tape covering the makers mark on the saw... I don't blame you! Only promote what they will pay.

[@shortsweettoo]

You asked what we thought. Well, restoring something that is over 300 years old is never boring, and .......... I think you are brilliant. Truly.

[@michaelsmall9321]

Watched on the TV instead of phone today. Better than the phone by far. Made the video even more enjoyable. Loved every second.

[@jgorry69]

Hard to believe they managed to make the original with hand tools!!! Oak is so so hard to cut. Nice work.

[@brynwright8654]

So happy to have another one of your videos to enjoy watching over lunch

[@mandyleeson1]

Valiant effort in trying to save the old posts. Fascinating to see the new ones being constructed. Here’s to another 300 years. 🍻

[@Uswesi1527]

True knowledge and professionalism makes difficult jobs easier. Thanks

[@Mike-jx2uj]

That bandsaw is some investment! I always appreciate new tools when I’ve been doing it the ‘hard way’ with what I’ve got. Love the videos!

[@robertbrewer2190]

Great work and the "mood" shots are particularly poetic in this video. Thanks

[@grahamhawthorn2320]

It must be very satisfying to know you are leaving something behind after you have gone that will be used for perhaps 100 years or longer. Well done sir.

[@eriknoren8292]

It´s a real pleasure to see your skills with all woodwork you put hands on

[@jamessmith7691]

I have a habit of looking at old garages and barns marveling at the craftsmanship. The problem I see with that storage barn is that it needs to be at our house. A really nice shop and video.

[@ste4bz]

Awesome Carl. Shout out to the people who made the original posts by hand!

[@curm1778]

Ah, progress. And New Toolz! Always instructive when putting one's own workshop together is seeing what tools work best for what job given the complexities of one's own projects. That bandsaw is just the thing for an amateur boat builder.

[@aaronwilson9763]

Go Pro & tripod setup together creates just enough variety to level up a good production quality to be great! Thanks for sharing this journey and taking the time to build a channel around it!

[@5mjc]

Carl is very skilful with his woodworking tools.

[@joesimkus7778]

It is a joy watching you guys do what you do. I wish I could work with you.

[@paul4124]

Good to see you back Carl, l hope your dad is well. Great video, great explanations. And the addition of the band saw to your tool kit is a good one. All the best.

[@philandminiphil]

Not too keen on the GoPro headset attachment shots, but the drone shots...wow! Loving the work on the staircase, can't wait for a tour of the inside of the house.

[@juliatownsend2324]

The red moon was beautiful. With all your lovely electric machinery I wonder how long it took the craftsman to make all those years ago. So pleased to see you back so enjoy watching your vlogs. Xx

[@MargieMistretta-c9m]

Can you imagine that 300 years ago doing this without all those wonderful tools

[@warrenmusselman9173]

You really should get yourself an oscillating multi-tool like the Makita XMT035 - I'm sure Festool makes similar. That awkward sawing thing with the stringer against the wall at the landing would have taken you a couple painless minutes. Look forward to the next video Carl.

[@edrussell7960]

I was mentally screamng the same thing in my head haha. But I do appreciate the use of the hand tools also.

[@JerrySmith-ih9rd]

Totally agree. When I was doing installations, I had three. Retired now and am down to one. You will learn to do things with a multi master that you never thought of.

[@warrenmusselman9173]

@@edrussell7960 The hand tool work is core to the attraction of this channel. For a young guy, Carl has serious hand tool chops. On the other hand, I keep seeing strange Festool tools I never knew existed - at least the beam saw. I love the modern approach to traditional carpentry and home building/restoration.

[@bethhinton7115]

I grew up in the 80's watching restoration show called This Old House and watching this reminds of that show. I absolutely loved it back then and love watching you now. The details...WOW

[@sickwilly1171]

I'm a metal worker, high end architectural, custom. Your craftsmanship is impeccable. Great work.

[@Afer09]

Love your videos ! And i think we are neighbours in France ! You are doing a beautiful restoration, ty for the sharing it

[@musinga]

Hi. I don't mind the gopro perspective since it makes your life easier. Just happy to continue getting content.

[@GirladyLocks]

Watching you work is the highlight of my day :)

[@jeffwillis2592]

I pause at each new scene: overhead farmstead, inside garage, seasoned lumber pile, staircase, to inspect the details: the old beams, the old brickwork, the newer repairs, everything. It's so absorbing and beautiful. Quality. Thanks for the excellent photography and production. I also really appreciate your narration. Sorry non-English speakers.

[@RogierYou]

Awesome idea the way you utilized the laser level 👍

[@carolynknight1520]

So satisfying. Fantastic project video.

[@Uswesi1527]

The power tools used, especially, the portable band saw , made a very big difference in achieving difficult jobs much easier and highly accurate. Thanks

[@frogsin7850]

Great close up on chisel work . So satisfying to see the grain come up in waves !

[@jdeack]

Beautiful work Carl. I applaud your patience and precision. Very nice work.

[@williammarkhart7047]

I wish I had 1/4 of your talent. So satisfying to watch.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

That band saw is great! Especially watching you both 'effortlessly' cutting the chamfer edges. 👏🥳. Nice to see you again too.

[@darkfactory8082]

Aahhhh, the joy of woodworking.. Nice, interesting and very, very pleasant to watch, although for you there was some serious effort needed. 😉 Oak is a hard one to deal with, especially seasoned and very dry.. It's heavy also.. Keep on, the house is almost beginnin' to look like a mansion... Cheers.👍

[@johnyb9884]

GoPro on your cap better than tripod. You’re good at getting the camera in there where we can see very close. Love the videos

[@DovetailTimberworks]

Very fun, lots of clever thinking to navigate your way through this 3D puzzle. Well done.

[@Uswesi1527]

Undoubtedly, the master craftsman demonstrated unusual skills, experience, knowledge, professionalism , and talent. This is highly educational knowledge for those amateurs who want to become professional professionals. Maybe! Thanks

[@joelicorn]

Haven't even started the video and already know it's good as always

[@johnalveus]

wouldn’t have noticed the GoPro of you hadn’t pointed it out .. so , approved !! 😆

[@MariaSanchez-zf9cs]

That two man band saw is the bomb! You two are magicians.

[@iftekhar7266]

Marvellous indeed!! I have enjoyed it as I always do. Very organised piece of work with dedication & commitment. Loads of love from Pakistan.

[@ryanwinchester6644]

Bro I love your videos! Real question though, what on earth did your Mum and Dad do for a living?! Amazing place in France, restorations, half the worlds supply of Oak, better tools than me (and I've been a full time carpenter and builder for 6 years now). Very lucky to have your family and to be so skilled whilst still so young! Keep the videos coming! :)

[@Ragnar8504]

I'd say a fascinating mix of budget (49.99 DIY special planer) and amazing professional (Festo, Mafell) tools.

[@billk8780]

OMG... cannot imagine the man-hours you spent on the newel posts! Excellent job and the end justifies the effort. All the best this holiday season.

[@markduncan6690]

You certainly know how to navigate your way around a Wood Shop! Always a Learning Experience!

[@kevinpeters471]

watched this and enjoyed very much for a young lad you have lot of knowledge and talked through it very well

[@judymielcarek6011]

Amazing workmanship! What a job.

[@gilesfone]

I think the gopro footage is a plus, it’s another texture. Very high quality all round again, thanks 👍

[@wendysalter]

I get mesmerised watching you. Hope Dad's knee job went well - all the best.

[@kennethcrace6181]

This was well worth the wait. Looking forward to new adventures Carl. Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours. Ken from Indiana 🇺🇸

[@raycarter4030]

that was a brilliant resourceful use of a laser level, loved it, smiled all the way.

[@terryrogers1025]

Thank you for walking us through the process of building the newel post

[@josephlathrop1914]

Glad to see someone that wants to do it right even if it takes them doing it more than ones to get it right

[@williamlewis8741]

greetings Carl and your dad. many thanks for the most recent vidéo. i rather enjoyed the cinematography where you captured the up close chisel work. the smell of oak in the morning. it seems to me, that good tools begets good results. the skill-set employed by your dad and yourself is legend. it would have been nice to reuse the old post but in the long run, i believe that you've made a brilliant decision to start anew. hoping that your dad has recovered nicely from his knee replacement. until next time, they call me Jim, whenever i wear my "Slim !" cheers

[@chillzedd8179]

I learned what a newel post is literally yesterday and now im learning how to make them

[@travelswithdave]

I like on Christmas vacation when Clark Griswald fixes the newel post....lol

[@janeblog1900]

I love how you take great pride in your work What a perfectionist what a result!

[@Thejakegee]

Festwho? Love the progress! You don’t need them anyways!

[@lorrets9775]

A whole new appreciation, for the work that goes into staircases. I wouldn't like to have tackled the original version, with no power tools ! I just need to sit near the bag of shavings to complete the whole sensory ambience

[@dougieranger]

Great to see you back mate, I hope you all enjoyed the summer.

[@lynnelewis9605]

Wow beautiful work you are a true artist of wood I love watching you work .x

[@alejandrogonzalez5025]

Omg so happy for a new video 😂🎉❤

[@woody1320]

Thank you for taking us along on this amazing project, love the "Carl Cam", so refreshing to see such craftsmanship and care. Love the oak, so beautiful but can't imagine how hard it must be to machine.

[@nigelweaving9045]

Just wonderful. In awe of your skill and envious of the opportunity to use them in such a splendid family project.

[@peter_bazinet]

SO good to see you posting again. These videos are therapy for me and I appreciate them. And your dedication to your work is amazing. I hope we see more progress in the coming month.

[@BerendBroekhoff]

I've never thought that building a stairs would take so many steps, this is fascinating and it's great that you are giving life to this historic home. I think if the people who originally build the staircase saw what you were doing here that they couldn't be happier, and maybe a bit envious of that portable band saw haha. amazing video Carl!

It's SO great to have you back ! Your videos are poetry of the eye and the hand, if that means anything to anyone else but me... 😀 Just wondering: are you planning on repurposing these two magnificent posts somewhere else in the house ? They're so beautiful maybe they'd deserve a second life as ornaments...

[@jeffwillis2592]

Yes, the videos are gorgeous. A combination of love of woodwork, antique quality.
