How To Make Hardwood Flooring

[@richhagenchicago]

I am making some flooring from a walnut tree and some white oak trees on a property I own, just looking at how it is done by others as the wood cures. I have been practicing with other species as I am making an oak and walnut floor specifically for my new home. A bit envious of the 4 sided moulder. My saws are simpler, chainsaw mill, an old U.S. bandsaw from the 50's and a tablesaw cast and machined in Elyria, Ohio, my planer is a bit smaller of the same brand, and I am forced to use a slower router table for the tongue and groove and relief as that is what I have with some Yonico flooring bits. It is going very slowly here, but my test batches are working out. I can see that the routing is the bottleneck for me but this is a one off for me for my own home so I will muscle through all of these pieces. I hope that you guys are doing well out in PA.

look at 3 phase 220. you can get a MASSIVE work horse for real cheap. BUT you will need to get 3 phase to it. but you can get an inverter to turn single phase to 3 phasse pretty cheap all thigns considering

I romobed 200 year old chestnut hardwood floors to level and lay a sub floor. How would I refurbish to put back down

[@stevemaynerich6274]

Do you have to worry about "end matching" your boards so the ends lock together with the next piece?

[@colbywood1785]

I only see that about 50/50 on hardwood flooring. If your installer is a professional, and he works with clean, square, sharp tools he should be able to butt pieces together cleanly

I'm planning on doing this process for a small room in my home. What is the purpose of the relief cuts on the back? Are the relief cuts v-shaped or square? What is the approximate size of the relief cuts? Thank you!

[@moh19931000]

I pretty sure it's done to prevent the warping and curling of the wood inwards, if so the shape of the cut shouldn't matter.

[@abram.3]

What is the name of that big cutting machine you are using?

[@roadcoadog]

what's the correct name for your work horse, Approximately what's the cost, Thanks .
