You’re polite enough to not give advice but you did it much better than 95% of people that want to tell everyone else how to do it 😂 good job

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

Just now seeing this. THANK YOU! I think I've seen all of your videos! lol You're the real deal!

[@Noland-tv8yg]

"when you guys make your crown molding video im gonna grab my popcorn" LOL im a framer, made respect man you do great work!

[@garpikemike1]

@Guillermo Mekhinah... as long as she dont hack mine...I'm good.

[@crich1218]

I literally choked eating my broccoli when that buffer kicked your ass in the beginning haha. Love your channel man keep it up.

[@ardenmiller8591]

For being a finish carpenter and not a floor guy it looks great. The whole series of the project was very enjoyable and I learned of few things watching them great job !!

[@buterdhams]

This dude is KILLING it on his floor. Such a beautiful floor. I love the natural and flat look. Dang !

[@heinserverdugo1577]

That intro was everything! 😂

[@michaelredmond8993]

The floor looks sharp. Great to know that white oak can have that natural unfinished look while being protected and smooth. I appreciate you putting these videos together.

[@keithrhoda7128]

Hey Richard, I’ve been a finish carpenter for 32 years now. Just like you, I did one and one set of floors only. Much easier to do crown molding. Love your channel

[@ikay2102]

Richard i want to thank you for your energy and sharing small things that makes DIY guys life a little easier. Tool description is very helpful. Thanks ones again. 😁

[@kellyflynn467]

Floor looks great! Jack of all trades in my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing your projects. Beautiful kids too!

[@RetiredArmyCW4-F]

I am pleased with this video: )!! I love the look bro thank you!! I am doing the same thing and your video is the first one to explain AND SHOW the products in order to keep the light natural wood look, appreciate its

[@georgelambertson300]

Richard you called it the natural stain and the satin/Flat final coat was the perfect blend just remind the rest of us the lowest grade of oak planks and the Very Best Finish...Thank you very much I'm doing just that on my next hardwood floor...

[@lawnmoose]

the floor you ended up with is luxury. great work!

[@michaelrichard8960]

I been watching all your videos, and i am a carpenter and love how the way you detail everything that you do

[@718Insomniac]

Appreciating your fine job is not nerdy. That's a special kind of joy many people will never achieve.

[@AFmedic]

The intro with you and the buffer brought back memories. My 1st day when I got to Shepard AFB for my Tech School (Jan 1969) a group of us had to strip, wax, & buff a large class room. That was my 1st time ever using a buffer and I was kicked around just like your intro. ROFL

[@davidbalderston2751]

I was just thinking how cool it is going to be for those little ones to be able to see how talented their daddy really is.

[@TheSib]

You are so gifted in so many ways. Your work is methodical to the point of being mesmerizing, and your results are nothing short of beautiful. You've taught me a LOT, and I'm probably 15-20 years your senior. Thank you for taking the time to make these informative and entertaining videos, and for explaining your thought process as well as you do. Your channel is the only channel I get "giddy" for, when I see a new video has been posted.

[@MatthewWebb62024]

Wow. Great series and a ton of work. Way to tough it out and give those kids a nice home. Respect.

[@josephalvino3370]

The pride you take in all of your work, no matter what you are doing shines through. Your phone will always be ringing , since your name is synonymous with quality and care. I don’t have to say keep it up, since you know no other way.👍

[@jefferyholland]

The kids liked it. Nice job on the floor finish,not sure I would have selected the flat finish but after seeing it I like it.

[@laszlodesimon4768]

As with everything you do, your diligence and innate quality workmanship made for a perfect finish! Thanks for sharing the how to and making these videos!

[@nikkiswenson54]

Awesome again! The floors are just gorgeous! Your children are enjoying it already! Awesome!

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

🙋🏻‍♂️ Flat for the WIN! Right here too!

[@xCoolBreezex]

So much to know about so many things Who said trade life is dull

[@enahaha8197]

Not dull at all, just matte....boom, where do I sign up

[@angelaramseyrobinson4407]

Love these floors! You did a great job. I’m finishing up kitchen oak floors now and didn’t want it to go too dark so this helps.

[@PKedByBlade]

Excellent! super high end, modern but timeless look with that flat finish.

[@rmoby]

Looks really nice, I can appreciate the amount of work having done a house before. I swore off that work after I was done.

[@MostlyPeacefulCombatVet]

That intro though! 😂😂😂😂😂 I have to admit, that is some of the nicest looking #3 white I've seen done. Absolutely perfect in my humble opinion. Pat yourself on the back. You just finished a floor that looks a million times better than 99% of the "natural" white oak floors I've seen. You're a beast Richard @Finish Carpentry TV 💪💪

[@LuisSanchez-wf9zw]

Thank you so much for posting these videos you make and putting in the effort to documenting your work and sharing it with us.

[@hardwoodstudio5833]

That's better work than some "professionals" I've been in after.

[@duartepaintinghandymanservices]

floors are coming out amazing 🔥🔥🔥 good job Rich

[@lenoxchew4732]

I am in construction and it is so awesome to see true craftsmanship and pride in a job done completely by hand.

[@mdbrenna]

I love this. Excellent work. I'm sure you have gained many different skills from doing this type of work. Also, with it being in your own home, you can make mistakes and they don't cost huge bank.

[@mytakes42]

Great job! We did the exact same whitewash procedure you demonstrated and also did a water-based finish in 2017. Floors still look fantastic as a natural white oak (no yellowing)!

[@elizabethhernandez74]

I'm so glad I ran across your video. I am in the process of finishing my original hard wood floors and wanted to keep it's original color ....thank you for the information on how to attain that. Your floors look great!!

[@radhikakumar5959]

The floors are stunning !! I love the flat finish . Thank you for sharing

[@markkramer2908]

I defiantly like the flat look the best. Great job!

[@nanoplays1768]

Definitely like the flat better. Thanks for your insight and trials. Saves me the work. Keep it up.

[@hectorcervantes5462]

That came out nice bro! Great job. Dont worry about what other people got to say. Somebody always got something to say. I will be doing the same to my floors.

[@scotttaylor4663]

You've worked your butt off on this floor....Fantastic 👏 job brother.......

[@penney304]

Very nice! I'm going for the flat finish on my remodel. Thanks for showing this technique.

[@stevenkushinski6674]

Looks awesome!!! You are a huge inspiration you have given the confidence to finish the trim work in my house.

[@RhodeToPrepping]

Looks great! Your kiddos are beautiful! I remember playing on hardwood floors after my mom had just waxed and buffed them out... sliding across

[@danielgeng2306]

The floor looks phenomenal!!!

[@ecarrillo71]

Always love your work! Great job on the floors and I agree with the flat look as well.

[@neilolson7851]

Great job never thought I would like flat on a floor it looks great and u have a great looking family bro keep it up I've been in the business for 35 yrs and I've learned alot of new tricks thanks to you PEACE

[@mauricecasey5556]

Superb! The flat finish really buetifies the figured oak. Classy.

[@KevinMerkel]

Flat finish looks awesome on my big screen TV. Thanks for sharing your exploration. Floor looks professionally done.

[@kathyyeager6055]

I’m tackling a #3 white oak floor myself. Appreciate your video!

[@robbwallace7034]

Flat looks great!

[@CB-oc7nr]

Love the flat finish! I’m hoping to get wood flooring just like this. Love it- the flat finish gives a more “rustic” look/feel. Shows off the “natural beauty “ of the wood.

[@samv2783]

Great job! That flat finish looks awesome!

[@dominioncrowntv5197]

I've laid flooring a few times in my life. My knees and my back let me know it wasn't the career for me....

[@Ddccarpentry08]

That flat look is better in my opinion great work I’m a finish carpenter myself and I do all everything I can myself the stuff the seen some people do it will blow your mind lol

[@357lockdown]

Looks great Rich, I love the color you chose.

[@gearhead4013]

Floor looks awesome!!!

[@kujurme8256]

I’ve been watching most of the KZbinr who doing stuff that you do and man I’m telling you the way you explained things crown moldings and stuff even the floor which is not pro but still loving it. I’m learning from you and you doing great 👍

[@MogerGuitar]

Just an FYI. The edger is meant to cut left to right. Also bona makes a water based sealer called natural seal and it’s basically raw looking. They have a naturalle poly too. Looks good!

[@lordaleksandre]

Traffic HD looks almost completely clear. Way more clear than water.

[@lordaleksandre]

Water based, too.

[@sweatervestfest405]

Yes edge left to right and big machine right to left. We had a sub who use to do a first coat water base then one or two top coats with oil. Looked almost purple or pastel looked awesome.

[@tommyammo6135]

WOW!! for me first time using that sander up on a second floor deck the thing shot around and knocked some of the spindles loose and almost took a dive off the side of the deck with me on it. Good job on the floors looks really nice but sooooooo much work. Enjoy your vids alot to learn, good teacher on the trim work. Thanks

[@curtis6252]

This was the best intro yet. 10/10

[@Lee-xs4dj]

I laid my own oak wood flooring. 2000sqft of it finished with hard wax, so I can totally appreciate how much work this is. Saved a hell of a lot of money doing it myself though.

[@tranquilitea]

The flat looks awesome. Great job, man!

[@vloogle4924]

Turned out fantastic!

[@gordonclark7632]

The flat looks better than the sheen. Much better than I expected it to be. Cheers from Australia.

[@MichaelCook-bw4mr]

We've been watching your great videos for a while now. My son is learning how to install flooring and your videos are a big help! Thanks for posting them...I may be making a contribution to your site soon! Maybe I can buy something from your store! Thanks for everything, man!

[@jeffdorsey85]

Floor looks great!!! Thanks

[@JesusMartinez-bx8dh]

Wow that looks great man..i will keep that in mind for when i get my house. I will do my floors just like that!!

[@stashu5242]

Flat for the win. Looks great.

[@justgregnow]

Love the flat poly bro... Nice work, looks awesome

[@aprillittle595]

Wow! That flat finish is really, really beautiful! Totally worth your work and research! Gorgeous. You'll have to let us know how it holds up!

[@deemartinez836]

What a beautiful finish.

[@efrainrodriguez4578]

Looks amazing!

[@johnstup4479]

[@n20cpri]

Yeah the flat looks much better! Awesome job!

[@timothywalz9692]

Pretty cool my man. I enjoy your Chanel because you are real. Not putting on a show for anyone. Not trying to act like you are the best at everything. I want to start my own Chanel as well just done even know how to start. I do a lot of what you do. I get so inspired by your Chanel and done know if you have any tips on how to get the Chanel started? Let me know. God bless.

[@kmibuilding906]

[@migdi242424]

Flat definitely looks better.. Great job and beautiful kids.

[@craigs8119]

Flat looks real good!

[@juliahelland6488]

I definitely like the flat sheen the best. It looks amazing 👏

[@mayorstoner3459]

Nice job Richard!! I was worried about all that filler but it really turned out great.

[@TheBackyardFox]

Great job Richard. Haven’t used an orbit sander, only a belt sander and there’s definitely a learning curve on that equipment.

[@shigthehandyman]

Great vid! In regards to comparing the 2 finishes...I prefer the matt finish!! Well done!!

[@micmike]

Super Sweet, nice job Richard

[@ProjectDadLife]

Floor looks great! Subscribed
