A 43 minute video on hardwood floor sanding and finishing. First off, I would recommend purchasing a book as a reference. The author discusses different sanding machines along with their pros and cons. He then discussed sanding techniques, repairs secondary to sanding errors and then finishing. The video in my opinion is a good compliment to a reference text. The video it should be mentioned does not cover hardwood floor installation. As the title reflects the video covers sanding and finishing and acts as an opening guide for further research. The author discusses and demonstrates what needs to be done, and therefore allows you to decide if you want to pursue sanding and finishing on your own and what types of equipment you will need. Even if you choose not to do the work yourself the section on finishes will provide you with insight into what type of finish you might prefer to have on your hardwood floors.

Well I'm a diy kind of person and needed to refinish 1000sf of solid oak floors. This was one of the items I purchased in my quest to gain knowledge. It did help me to see a floor being sanded as compared to reading books about it. For this reason I didn't mind paying the money. I purchased the companion book as well.

If you're thinking about doing a floor yourself, buy this, you don't need the book. Also look on utube for sanding wood floors. There are excellent videos if you dig long enough. One was better than this dvd.

btw, the edger is back breaking work.

You can do it!

After watching this video my wife and I looked at each other and said "No way!" The video was a good purchase because it helped us understand what was involved and that it would not fit in our schedule for now. The production values were good and the information made sense.
