Cross-measure room...not matching yet, then?

The most important thing is that you don't have gaps. If the plane slowly crosses the centerline by 2-3 mm over a stretch of 2-3 meters, I don't think you'll see any gaps.

The rods look quite rustic with knots etc. Is that a conscious choice?

I see that your left rod doesn't have a spring in the plane tip. Don't you have left and right rods? See, for example, the installation instructions www.e-pages.dk/junckers/107/fullpdf/1.pdf

It shouldn't have one on the first plane; you use a loose spring there. That way, all other following rows align properly.

Okay, so it looks good? Then you can go quickly with a clear conscience..?

Regarding lös fjädrar, it is used.

Have a question, how did you approach the trim strip, did you leave it all around for a while, and then puzzle when you were done, and just saw side by side and finish it up?

 

[falkn]

I think it looks good. If it sticks out a few mm over several meters of laying, it doesn't matter as long as it's evenly distributed. Just make sure it hasn't happened on just 4-5 pieces.

It depends on how large pieces are needed. If you need small pieces on one side, you can wait to place them until you've cut another.

It shouldn't have it on the first plow, there you use a lösspring. That way, all the other following rows align properly.

Would you like to elaborate?

Do you want to elaborate?

What I mean is that the boards are always laid with the groove facing outward and backward. However, this means that the very first plank doesn't have a groove on the front short side. That's why a loose tongue is used. After the first plank, a loose tongue is no longer needed, as all seams then fit tongue-in-groove.

What I mean is that the boards are always laid with the tongue facing outward and backward. This means that the first row does not have a tongue on the front short side. Therefore, a loose tongue is used. After the first row, a loose tongue is no longer needed, as all joints become tongue-in-groove.

But what is the advantage compared to laying the tongue outward and forward?

 

[falkn]

If you start the opposite way from the beginning, you end up placing the plow from the wrong side and constantly nailing into the note instead of the tongue, which is much more difficult. If you've done it the opposite way on the first plow, you'll need to use a loose feather for the rest of the floor... I can make a sketch later when I'm not on the phone.

See image below. You continuously lay the rods according to this pattern, i.e., A-rod on the left and B-rod on the right. The tongue facing outward and backward in the laying direction. In the first row, it isn't automatically tongue-and-groove on the front short side, so you use a loose tongue there. The red lines in the next part of the image correspond to loose tongues in the first row. Once the first row is laid, you lay from the opposite direction according to the figure, and then all joints become tongue-and-groove, meaning you no longer need to use a loose tongue.

Damn..... Starting to mess up again!!!! Same thing as last time. But thankfully not as much, what's the easiest way to cheat it away? Alternatively, find the solution to the problem, why it's not adding up

 

[falkn]

In which direction is the problem? Is there too much space left or too little, so to speak? Please attach a close-up.

When I do this, the long groove is perfect, but if I try to get the short end together, the long side looks like this:



Short side with a gap on the long



Worth noting, it's not nailed in the picture.

One row left on the other side getting there, it was both easy and smooth to lay, seems like everything fits on that side.

 

[falkn]

You simply have too little space for the piece. If you lay a piece dry a few rows ahead, is the problem everywhere? I have had similar issues and then it has only been a few pieces involved. In that case, you can split the piece you are laying with the plunge saw by half a millimeter so it fits inside. However, it looks like you are not maintaining a perfect 90 degrees, it seems to be a bit under and thereby this occurs.

You simply don't have enough space for the board. If you dry lay a board by itself a few rows ahead, is the problem everywhere? I've had similar issues and it was only a few pieces that were problematic. In that case, you can split the board you are laying with the plunge saw by about half a mm so it fits inside. However, it looks like you're not holding a perfect 90 degrees, it seems a bit under, and that causes this.

Now I'm seriously impressed by you! What an eye for measurement, frankly... Crazy



Could that be where the problem lies? I'll test tomorrow, and rip up the few boards that are nailed and make sure the first comes in at 90, it might have shifted a bit when nailing.

No, it seems to work well, tested in 2 places and it became tight and nice.

You mean to shave off a little on the board causing a discrepancy of a few mm, to reduce that?
