Floor renovation process start to finishfrom @danny_sandhouse
[01]
Overview
The creator documents the entire process of making a wooden floor look old in response to a customer request. They begin by using a hammer and tool to make indentations, then drill pilot holes and hammer in a large quantity of old-fashioned cut nails along the floorboard seams. After repairing a damaged section, they use a large industrial sander on the entire floor, apply a dark stain with a roller, buff the surface, and finish with a clear top coat, concluding with shots of the transformed, rustic-looking floor.
