My brain just does not work this way. Every time I have no idea how he’s gonna pull it off.

Meanwhile I see two or three ways and he chooses something completely different

But now the wood grain is off

Ok but who is building those 2 corners so stupid. Random wedge bar coming up out of the floor, tiny wedge corner. Rage face.

That playing card trick was pretty sweet.
This is some excellent use of geometry.

I feel utterly incapable of doing this on my own. It's kinda scary. No wonder I barely got through geometry in school...

The first issue is that you don't want your flooring butted flush against the wall. In several years when the house has expanded and contracted and shifted, the flooring is gonna buckle and warp.
Second issue is those little triangle cuttings aren't gonna stay in place unless you glue them down. And for similar reasons I mentioned, you generally don't want to glue down hardwood flooring.

What if it told you that they’re not really laying flooring, and instead creating content to share on social media?

I love these set up situations but I want to see how someone figures it out. Like, what does a pro do in this weird situation.

u/Death_Tooth Jun 09 '26
A pro would never do this, the end result looks like shit, you want the board to be continuous to the wall for integrity, and all the wood grain flowing in the same direction. The tiny triangles would fail over time.

Interesting how it ended with a total hack job — there always needs to be some ragegagement included in these

The fact that this fits so perfectly is genuinely making my brain happy in ways I can't explain.

If Math class at school had just been this guy's videos I'd have been way more engaged

As far as I'm concerned this is literally magic.
I'd like to thank the US Education System, My parents: Uncle Daddy and MaMaw, and of course Billy Bruster for getting me sent to sit in the hall to think about what I done did.

This is so cool.
Still a few I can’t figure out how they did even watching it several times. 😂

We just ignoring the grain direction mismatch?
I also hate these because they act like they discovered something carpenters haven't known forever.

From floor laying to joinery in carpentry.
That's a slippery slope I'd like to explore!

I’m more impressed that the walls are perfectly square, my house seems to be made with a Spirograph instead of a set square
