Denailing floorboards - current project
We pulled out about 40sqm of old Vic Ash/Tas Oak floorboards our of our renovation and I have the joy of denailing them. The timber is in ok-to-decent condition so I thought it would be a waste to burn it all.
What are some of the more interesting things people have made out of these types of boards? Share your picks please

Hi Railer,
i've found stuff like this to be very useful. have used it for making inside and bases of drawers that i've faced with other timber.
Also I reckon it's pretty nice timber on its own.
possibly a bit underrated.
Cheers
Frank

I used boards from a front veranda. I cut the rotten ends off, put them through a thicky and got it down to 17mm (with a reasonably good but featured surface), roughly cleaned up the tongue and groove with a table saw and used the planks to build an outdoor table.
Only missed one nail but it was work’s thicky

Maybe a bit late but I would not drive the nails out but pull them completely through the boards ,a bit more effort but it saves splitting as the heads come out

I am a bit confused here. But don't you hammer the head out from the underside then pull it?

That is one way to do it,the problem is that the nails are usually punched below the surface and the holes filled so the sander does not catch the heads
When you drive the nails out from the back or underneath the heads catch as well as the filler and you can get quite a bit if splintering,pulling them through the way they were driven in will often leave the filler in so leaving the board looking like it did on the floor
Using vice grips and pulling them out will take far less time than turning the board,hammering out,turning back over to remove
Use this method for anything you remove if you want to refit it ,ie skirtings ,architraves,window trims, etc you often will not see where the nails whereLast edited by nrb; 5th December 2018 at 06:28 PM. Reason: more comments

I didn’t bother trimming out the nail holes - I think they add character.

i have also done what nrb suggested and pulled nails out from the back on some old timber, like cypress pine door jams, to avoid splintering.
