TIL a small floor patch in a 1920s house took me three hours
The client wanted a new oak board to match the existing floor, but the old tongue and groove was a weird size. I had to hand plane a wider piece down to fit, which ate up the whole morning. Has anyone else found a faster way to match old flooring without a custom mill order?

Three hours for one board is a whole new level of pain. Hand planing to a weird size sounds like a special kind of hell. I would have lost my mind by lunch.

What's the weird size that made it so bad?

Hand planing to a weird size" used to seem fine, but man, it broke me.
