Sanding and oiling timber floor only using festool

[Locky]

Ok as i told all you guys a while ago i was making a video of using the surfix on a timber floor, well here it is. I filmed this about 4 months ago
Hope you like (sorry for it being long)

Nice video!  Made my knees ache though.  It must almost be time to do the follow up on how it is wearing.  Any idea of the wood species?

That was a lot of time bent over! Do you think the BS105 with a frame would have made a big difference? ... or do you think a proper floor sander would be the only way to really change the effort?

GOOD DEMO !

cheers,

Kev

Locky,

Thanks for doing that - I need to sand the original (1880's) pine floorboards in my living room. They're in a worse state than you started with, and probably 3x the area you did there. I was contemplating sanding it with my Festools. Now, not so much! [embarassed]

I think I'll be hiring a proper floor sander!!!

One comment though - I'd ask that before you film the follow-up video, you carry out the following 2-step process:

Step 1: Pull shorts up;

Step 2: Tighten belt!

Now, Now, Johnny Round Boy, that's a man so into his work that his clothes have trouble keeping up with his pace.... [wink]
I too would vote for standing with a floor sander versus being on my knees, but nice job on the floor there,  and show us how it's looking in a year or two so we can see how an oiled floor finish holds up.
Thanks for posting

Ignore them, at least there was no showing of a 'plumber's crack'.  [eek]

I never thought there would be so much talk of my back side on here,  the only way i could make this video is through my underwear sponsers and they wanted exposure for there money (subtle product placement) [big grin]
A commercial floor sander would be much easier to use (and for the back), but a least this way if the wife wants a floor refinished you could say it would be cheaper to buy a festool sander and use it, instead of hire a commercial one (even know its not true [wink])
The floor species is Cypress pine which is a very common flooring from the 1930ish til about the 80's. yellow tongue flooring is pretty common now.
