this was an interesting one - lots of steps forward, backwards, sideways... progress is never linear on these. enjoy. ps. coasters, t-shirts, toolbelts: www.carlrogers.co

Hooray, Carl is back! Carl, do you think we could get a tour of the main house? It would be fascinating see it.

Another outstanding video, Carl. You have unbelievable level of patience and skills. Truly informative and enjoyable to watch. New video equipment worked well.

Besides your work being absolutely fantastic, your filming is even better, always a treat to watch, thank you!

Go-Pro shots are fine. Anything to make it easier for you. We are privileged that you share this amazing transformation. Thank you & great work. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.

Wonderful to see you back. All you do is amazing! Thumbs up for the GoPro. Have a joyful and safe holiday season.

Been sitting here for months waiting for you Carl!!!! Love the channel. I live vicariously through you ahhahah

This was well worth the wait. Looking forward to new adventures Carl. Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours. Ken from Indiana 🇺🇸

Bro I love your videos! Real question though, what on earth did your Mum and Dad do for a living?! Amazing place in France, restorations, half the worlds supply of Oak, better tools than me (and I've been a full time carpenter and builder for 6 years now). Very lucky to have your family and to be so skilled whilst still so young! Keep the videos coming! :)

That 2001 clip killed me lol great workmanship as always and the editing takes it to the next level

Thank you for the blood moon timelapse, amazing how red it was!

SO good to see you posting again. These videos are therapy for me and I appreciate them. And your dedication to your work is amazing. I hope we see more progress in the coming month.

It's SO great to have you back ! Your videos are poetry of the eye and the hand, if that means anything to anyone else but me... 😀 Just wondering: are you planning on repurposing these two magnificent posts somewhere else in the house ? They're so beautiful maybe they'd deserve a second life as ornaments...

Valiant effort in trying to save the old posts. Fascinating to see the new ones being constructed. Here’s to another 300 years. 🍻

OMG... cannot imagine the man-hours you spent on the newel posts! Excellent job and the end justifies the effort. All the best this holiday season.

Beautiful work Carl. I applaud your patience and precision. Very nice work.

Great work and the "mood" shots are particularly poetic in this video. Thanks

Good to see you back Carl, l hope your dad is well. Great video, great explanations. And the addition of the band saw to your tool kit is a good one. All the best.

It’s so satisfying to witness a master craftsman at work. We’ll done to both of you, and we’ll done for capturing it so well on film 💕🤗💕

That band saw is great! Especially watching you both 'effortlessly' cutting the chamfer edges. 👏🥳. Nice to see you again too.

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night! Blue tape covering the makers mark on the saw... I don't blame you! Only promote what they will pay.

Haven't even started the video and already know it's good as always

Какого замечательного сына - помощника, воспитал отец! Хвала отцу! Отличное видео, рада встрече.

Love your videos ! And i think we are neighbours in France ! You are doing a beautiful restoration, ty for the sharing it

Thank you for taking us along on this amazing project, love the "Carl Cam", so refreshing to see such craftsmanship and care. Love the oak, so beautiful but can't imagine how hard it must be to machine.

Well... Nothing better than cooking a Thanksgiving turkey and watching another fabulous video by Carl Rogers! Very informative and entertaining! Can't wait until the next installment!

Awesome work. Love your videos. Your attention to detail and commitment to preservation and restoration are rewarding to watch.

Beautiful work! I love your videos . Cant wait for the next one!

Just wonderful. In awe of your skill and envious of the opportunity to use them in such a splendid family project.

Carl it's good to see you back in the lab again.. That place is going to be a beautiful home when you're finished... You have some fantastic skills.. I wish I was that good at your age.. Carl thx for bringing us along on another adventure.. Take care my friend and God Bless you and your family...

I learned what a newel post is literally yesterday and now im learning how to make them

Awesome idea the way you utilized the laser level 👍

It's been a while since I saw one of your videos. I don't know when you made this change, but Im so glad youre talking in them now! Your patience and craftsmanship is awesone. Something I aspire to do one day! Thank you for showing us your projects and progress. It is a wonderful journey.

i love watching you guys work. true skills

Great work, and excellent attention to detail overall! That was pretty impressive that you recut the mortises for the bottom post. We want more videos but no go-pro, (motion sickness-inducing, and weird distortions). And be careful with your power tools! It looked like you were about to remove about 10 layers of skin as you were turning off your chain mortiser.

Carl. I looked for your latest vlog yday and then today you produce a new one. Excellent as ever.

As always, wonderful and fascinating. Please make a video about the restoration in the upstairs of the house.

36:30 and others like it - an oscillating tool would make your life so much easier here, I have a Fein Multimaster and it has been an absolute game changer for renovating 👍

A whole new appreciation, for the work that goes into staircases. I wouldn't like to have tackled the original version, with no power tools ! I just need to sit near the bag of shavings to complete the whole sensory ambience

You really should get yourself an oscillating multi-tool like the Makita XMT035 - I'm sure Festool makes similar. That awkward sawing thing with the stringer against the wall at the landing would have taken you a couple painless minutes. Look forward to the next video Carl.

Great job as always! A great story to begin with.

Good thing you end up making new ones. The contrast between the old and the new stairs do not go together in a trillion years. Before I forget, that moon was _awesome!!!_

Hard to believe they managed to make the original with hand tools!!! Oak is so so hard to cut. Nice work.

Wow beautiful work you are a true artist of wood I love watching you work .x

Hope everything is ok in your life. It has been a long time since your last post was concerned. Happy to see you back 😄

Never seen a portable band saw before. I checked it out and yes, it's expensive!! Nice piece of kit.

Not too keen on the GoPro headset attachment shots, but the drone shots...wow! Loving the work on the staircase, can't wait for a tour of the inside of the house.

greetings Carl and your dad. many thanks for the most recent vidéo. i rather enjoyed the cinematography where you captured the up close chisel work. the smell of oak in the morning. it seems to me, that good tools begets good results. the skill-set employed by your dad and yourself is legend. it would have been nice to reuse the old post but in the long run, i believe that you've made a brilliant decision to start anew. hoping that your dad has recovered nicely from his knee replacement. until next time, they call me Jim, whenever i wear my "Slim !" cheers

Go Pro & tripod setup together creates just enough variety to level up a good production quality to be great! Thanks for sharing this journey and taking the time to build a channel around it!

You are back!!!!! Great video as usual. Regarding the go pro filmed part, it was great! Thank you

Carl, your videography is like your wordworking - exemplary and super entertaining. Are the measurements on the 300 year old joinery in any particular system, like Imperial or metric, or just some random rustic lengths?

Fantastic love your work love the whole project it’s really a joy to watch cannot wait to see more..thank you…👍🏻😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Carl, you are a Saint for trying to refurbish and use the old newel posts but new fits better so new it is.

Amazing workmanship! What a job.

I get mesmerised watching you. Hope Dad's knee job went well - all the best.

I grew up in the 80's watching restoration show called This Old House and watching this reminds of that show. I absolutely loved it back then and love watching you now. The details...WOW

You must have picked up my inner monologue wondering where my favourite infrequent poster would get involved again yesterday. Few questions though, why cover up all Festool branding and what are those wraps on the chisels?

Thank god you are back, we have talked at home about what could have gone on, good video

Thank you for walking us through the process of building the newel post

As you asked: the new GoPro approach to filming makes for a bit of dizziness in the beginning and a lot of shots of veiny forearms, but after a while one gets use to it. I think everything that makes your life easier is worth keeping. It's a YES to the GoPro from me. Great vid as always.

Great build there. thanks for sharing with us.

The red moon was beautiful. With all your lovely electric machinery I wonder how long it took the craftsman to make all those years ago. So pleased to see you back so enjoy watching your vlogs. Xx

Your woodworking shop has been updated with some very professional equipment. A necessity when trying to create all your own custom pieces. Of course it helps tremendously that you know how and where to use them😉👏🏻

That band saw is a beast! I haven't seen a portable band saw like that. Good work!

Easily the best series on youtube, loving it.

In over sixty years of resto work and associated trade, it is wonderful to watch your videos. You show that rare natural skill and balance with hand tools. Also Bravo with the bandsaw; so tricky to keep true with two on a small blade. Bravo sir.

Another great progress video, nice work!! at 33:10 a multi-function tool is your friend for plunge cut like this!

Very good, I specially love the fact that all is solid oak! You have a fortune there!

Beautiful work. I'm very jealous of the satisfaction you must be getting.

Really fantastic work! Living every man's dream, tools, toys, bionic Dad, you've got it going on! Thanks for sharing your work and I do recognize the work. In addition to the manual labor, your cranking out the videos to boot. Thanks!

Carl this is amazing thank you for sharing this awesome content. Thanks mate

Great video - Stairs are looking great.

Carl, i enjoy your amazing jobs and i learn a lot out of your technics! Thanks for sharing it!!

Great to see you back mate, I hope you all enjoyed the summer.

I love how you take great pride in your work What a perfectionist what a result!

Awesome Carl. Shout out to the people who made the original posts by hand!

Love that GoPro angle of squaring up the post. It's great and holy shit was I anxious the whole time about all the spinny cutty bits of machines :D

The project of the stairs is amazing. I am impressed at amout of work, skills and calmness. I appreciate that You put extra work to recording it.

the Go Pro is great for some action shots, but i bet a lot of folks, including myself, really enjoy your tri pod shots, well thought out, well shot, keep up the work, great channel

The portable band saw is a very good investment...you will be using it more & more so it will pay itself off fairly quickly :)

I've never thought that building a stairs would take so many steps, this is fascinating and it's great that you are giving life to this historic home. I think if the people who originally build the staircase saw what you were doing here that they couldn't be happier, and maybe a bit envious of that portable band saw haha. amazing video Carl!

Great close up on chisel work . So satisfying to see the grain come up in waves !

What an absolutely stunning staircase! Great workmanship, love it!!! Well done, chapeau!!!

great to see your work my first staircase like this was a five flight dog legged stairs made from iriko i was the apprentice and spent many hours scrapping and sanding after the plasteres where finished . i went back there a few months later to find it all painter green. i have just retired i came to the black forest in 1997 for a month work in a zimmerie i ended up there for two years . mafell is only about 30 km away and they do factory tours for the local firms. i got a shock in 97 when i seen the macines you use for the first time here the 90 degree chainsaw was used everyday along with planners for putting the scrolls on the ends of the wall plates and perlins as they always have an overhand on the roofs here. i worked until i had a knee replacment and shoulder operation but enjoyed everyday working as a carpenter and joiner the trades over here are still differant good luck with the house.

Je suis toujours impressionné par la qualité de ton travail , bravo 😉

Gopro looks good, like the cinematic feel but weve seen enough of the ticknesser and this makes it nicer to watch. Thanks for the content!

I think the gopro footage is a plus, it’s another texture. Very high quality all round again, thanks 👍

Love the videos man and really like the GoPro angle on some of those shots. Especially if it’s easier for you

Gopro is good for when you need to move things around a lot. Tripod is good for work at the bench. Enjoying your videos.

Carl, at the time this video was made, how long have you and your father been working on the house? What are your eventual plans for the house? Will it be a family residence, or will you be reselling it? Just curious.😉

You certainly know how to navigate your way around a Wood Shop! Always a Learning Experience!

Great video again, I watching your workman ship and wish I could do half of what you do, when is part 2 coming out. Also why have some of the tools got blue tape in them ?

Que vídeo incrível, a escada está linda!

Really nice work. That bandsaw is something else. Like a log mill without the bed.

Love your vids, and especially your persistence and thoughtfulness. I do prefer the camera from afar rather that the POV, though.

So happy to have another one of your videos to enjoy watching over lunch

Wow, what detail. Good job!

Love this video, thanks. I wonder what the craftsmen in 1732 would make of all the new tools and gadgets we have now. At the end of the day, you have to know and love what you’re doing. And you do , big time.. Well done. Love your sense of humour in the clip with the chimps.

Wow, when I seen the word ‘Mafel’ I knew the bandsaw wouldn’t be cheap, but I wasn’t expecting it to be the guts of £5000! Awesome bit of kit though 👍

Hi Karl! I remember watching your struggle with I cover with an old one it was interesting! You can handle the stairs too,l can't l doubt it! Congratulations Happy New Year
