This turned out incredible!!!! I would love to see a video of you building something and only using hand tools!

"I even took the baseboards off for you because I know you hate baseboards" lol

That wood transition is sick. Best part of the video.

I’d call it the Tronix room for all the electronic projects.

I wonder if those tile thingys would work on wall tile? Great series, loving it.

Hey Michael, I had no idea your past few videos had anything to do with this renovation. I suggest titling your videos a bit more specifically so it's easier to follow this project.

A sculptor building a transition for his own house will have the best one on the planet!

At work, we had a couple of sheets of automotive sandpaper that went up to like 1600. I use that on a piece of cedar one time that was fun.

I suppose this isn’t quite as deadly as restoring and selling an airplane in two weeks, so I’m cautiously keen on this.

"livable" - spends 20% of video working on the shape/color of the transition. 😜looks great!

Great sponsor for this one, thanks for going into some detail about how to install the mini split, I've seen them sponsor other people but not shown nearly as much useful information about it.

I’m confused if the glue doesn’t stick to the pre-finished wood how are you using it to glue it together?

Just wondering how does the bottom of the spline jig look after making multiple spline cuts . Does it eventually turn into a big empty slot due to the cuts or it doesn't go that far?

7:57 "it'll help asbestos it can" nice unintentional (?) pun!

My favorite home reno component name: Schluter Strip. Another awesome video!

Completely forgot about the oak floors! Also, that transition is a thing of beauty - blends in really well while still creating a subtle demarcation between the spaces. Also, I always love that you show us the process :) Honestly, I wouldn’t mind hearing more about your thought process and decision-making calculus when you run into issues - another more construction-focused channel I follow (Perkins Builder Brothers) sometimes incorporates that and it is always super interesting. p.s. I know Nothing about concrete, but did you consider wet sanding for that patch of reddish concrete? Considering the asbestos thing you mentioned and the sheer dustiness, it could be appropriate?

That push block has seen some shit 😂

I like to tile the whole kitchen / bathroom floor in case any changes are made later on. I feel like the time saved not fitting tile more than makes up for the added material cost.

I have a Mr Cool in my barn and it’s the best!

Couple things I went through renovating my 1948 house in Oregon. I did a 18k unit upstairs in our house as well. I also wall mounted it outside at first and about a year later put it on the ground outside as the condenser would straight up vibrate the whole house when running ac or heat (heat was worse) was super annoying as it was a really low freq vibration maybe 50hz Lastly I have noticed that mine is probably short cycling in the summer when running ac and sometimes causing more humid problems than removing humidity. So just keep an eye on humidity! Oh also clean the fan fins yearly they will get moldy…fun stuff…

...but did you have to change the thumbnail and title of the video 3 times?

That oddly shaped door transition piece is the only project I've ever seen on this channel that I've done a version of! Mine sucked compared to yours. Everything looks great

Your content inspired me on how to finish my first diy kitchen cabinet build! Quick question: do you have a link for those (metal? Plastic?) storage cases on the shelf? Thanks!

For future reference for tiling over old concrete- use an uncoupling membrane (Ditra/ Strata-Mat/ SuperSeal). It really helps with preventing crack formation in the grout and tile - especially when you need to patch/fill areas before tiling. Great progress on the remodel!

Woodworkers darken wood by reacting iron in solution with tannins in the wood to form blue-black phenolate complexes, a process called ebonizing. According to the literature, the darkness and color are controlled by the tannin concentration (higher, darker) and the counterion of iron (acetate, darker). By combining steel wool (iron ions) with vinegar (acetate ions), you create the darkest phenolate complexes even with low iron (II) acetate concentrations.

Oooo I've never seen the wedge style tile leveler. May have to look into that for when we fix the bathroom... again. We laid tile down then after figured out the joist underneath was sagging a lot, like maybe 2-3". We sistered a new joist against it, plus a few others, and it cracked the tile.

If anyone's looking for it, it's Call Me Maibe. Michael, consider putting a link in the description? If you did, sorry i missed it.

My favorite part of this video? Honestly, it's that you're wearing proper knee-pads while doing the tile work. I can't even tell you how many maker-channel things I see (cough cough laura kampf cough cough) where somebody is down on their knees for hours on a hard surface, and I know what kind of damage that does. Good on ya for using the IMO unsung hero of the PPE world.

That transition step was Amazing work Michael! Really nice touch

I've tiled my kitchen... that was a lot of work.

27:30 don’t worry, bros gonna be so high from the smell of the poly that he won’t even notice the baseboards are missing after a few hours.

I don't know if it's just me but ever since I was a little kid I have found watching someone hand-plane something to be so satisfying! And there are so few people that actually use them anymore! It makes me sad because they are such tactile tools. 😢

Nooo! Not fiber glass. It's so bad to work with. Rockwool, cellulose or even whool insulation is better then fiber glass. You should also have insulated the top of the attic. You put on a membrane on the celingand then you spray the insulation in the cavity. Having an insulated attic space is so much better. Especially the times when you need to work up there pulling wires for electrical or networking or just as storage for using once a year stuff etc. It also makes your heating more efficient since it will be more insulated from the cold during winter etc.

So, when's the sauna build planned? Awesome job, Michael!

That transition is just amazing! Wow.

I’m sure the hand plane is the Veritas #4 Smooth Plane. Small chance is it the Veritas #4 1/2 Smoothing Plane. Huge fan of Veritas tools. Beautiful work. Amazing custom kitchen and surrounding rooms.

You oughtta just route out a slot for countersinking a t track with a measurement on it then just make your own stop blocks w turn knob t slot and walah! Miter upgrade!

Michael, that is one awesome looking transition man.

RRRR I HATE baseboards!!!!

Ya

RAMBOARD!! heck yeah! Here in Greer, SC, my wife manages just about everything about producing and shipping that stuff across the planet.

Amazing, Ishitani Furniture and you launched videos using the same technique days apart (although they used rusty nails besides the wool, and left it for way longer).

If you want to make the ebonising even darker you can add more tannin to the wood in the form of tea. Giant Catappa leaves are very hight tannin. You make the tea from those. And apply twice.

Looks good Michael. Can’t believe it’s 10 months.

Justin time!

I'm getting real Technology Connections vibes from the AC/Heat Pump unit from the sponsor. And that's a good thing! I'm glad to see more folks repping such wonderful options for heating and cooling.

It's so good to have a deadline. and I echo the comment by @ryebread6790 - the transition piece is superb. I wonder if in a hundred years from now when someone decides to do another makeover on this house, they'll pull it up and say "They were TRUE craftsmen in those days...". This whole series has been fantastic. Thank you.

Looks great! The kitchen/mudroom floor tiles came out awesome.. I’m curious about how that Mr.Cool mini split system does… I’ve been on a serious hunt the last couple months doing research and shopping… would love one for my shop..

25:30 "nothing left to do but to do it" i should hold onto that one. that's a good mantra

Bice job but at some point that door transition is going to need a touch up. It's super high traffic. I'm worried what you'll do about color then. A contrast may have been nice there anyways?
