Tips and tricks

Ok the dude used the nosing he had and she’s sticking up appx 1/8” off the floor

That's literally going to put someone in a wheelchair. Should have shaved off the underside with a saw or a plane.

I did a test piece shaving off the vertical tongue and left it there for anyone to see, but I had reservations on actually giving him advice for something I’m not responsible for, but now we have this tripping hazard …. Life’s discernments can be difficult ……. What do you think about caulking that 1/8” tripping zone ?

How about a runner going up to that edge?
.....not gonna happen, but thought I'd toss it at you anyway

That’s not a bad idea.

Nothing a strip of duct tape won’t fix!

That’s what a lap over stair nose looks like. Are you trying to make it look like a flush mount stair nose instead?

Flush mount would be best IMHO or the proper Lap over where the “T” rests on top of the LVP….Here’s a pic of a job I saw in Lancaster Pa. A low profile nosing.

Dropped and picked up some binding at the local fabrication shop and noticed two simple tricks from Pat and Dave …. Pat was stabbing a carpet tube with the giant shears for a dustless breaking of a 3’ section. Dave was using a hand held whisk broom to sweep before rolling up a small area rug They have every type of binding equipment imaginable and an appx. 20’x30’ air table I was a kid in a candy store

I am so old I remember when rug binding was done by hand with a stapler.

Last one I did was a 14 by 26? Hand sewn at customers request.
......back in the days of cotton.

We did them all that way.

Sewing binding on the floor is total misery. You keep changing positions but none are even slightly comfortable.

I just thought of another one I hand sewed.
I'm not sure I can get images to show. It was an odd one.
