Watching Brent Hull is like stepping into Narnia, where Mr. Hull is the ice king. Jacked, tan, buffed out of his mind, and majestic beyond belief. A true king of trim. Brent Hull carpentry school or riot!
Dont know what to say. You have saved me so much headaches, time, effort. I have been in the purse of this fit for almost 8 months. Thank you for such a cool video on this cool looking woodworking subject. I’ve attempted your technique and finally got the look I wanted. Thank you again
That pediment is next level stuff, very interesting. That last bit about the 60 something degree cut seemed similar to what you have to do if you’re putting wainscoting up a stairway, with the parallelograms you have to make. Very good stuff, thanks for sharing!
Brent- this is a fantastic explanation of this technique. Even for one such as I (a home woodworker slowly getting better), this is great stuff. Thank you.
Thanks to your videos and staring at the hundreds of Georgian pediments around new town (Edinburgh) I’ve now made my very own pediment for our front room built in 1808 (with correct proportions ) however My wife is sick of me talking about split fillets and bed mouldings
What an awesome video. The only source of this information available. I had to figure this out on my own, dealing with some exterior crown on a historical house I worked on.
This is an incredible video and resource for us to build better! Thank you! Even that split second picture of the historic precedent of what was a gutter was really cool to see.
The video I was waiting for! I would have never thought to split the crown in two pieces for the rake to line up properly. Great vid! I’ll try and build one soon for practice.
The epiphany I had when you described braking the crown in 2 pieces to mess with the rake… I remember having a job where that exact situation would’ve save me some time and headache 😂
This was a great video! Now as a finish carpenter I need to watch it several times! However; these are the greats ! The one we learn from extensively !
I'm sorry I didn't see this video a year ago. I'm sorry that in order to see it, I watched hundreds of videos that didn't give me as much useful information as this. Thank you for sharing this knowledge!
I have always projected the profile at the rake angle. Cut a plywood reverse profile. Then use a table saw on flat to cut a majority of the waste out. Last step use the rounds and hollows moulding planes of the appropriate curvature to clean up the profiled moulding.Its the way my grandfather taught me. It’s a lost art to draw out a projected angle profile
Thanks for video but you didn't show how to cut the crown raking mould for both horizontal side and front pitched side of the pediment. What angle should I cut the pitched side corners, 22.5 degrees? Also, the angle for joining horizontal raking mould corner stays as normal right?
I dont get it...I try do model it 3d cause I cant find how pediments are build. At moment 7:16 those 2 moldings that you say that fit, just dont see how...anyway great video!!
Just wondering how to design moldings to put in a catalog, what program do I use? who do I call? I have a small shop and a molder in PA and I'm just trying to get my foot in the door with other local contractors so I can provide more value. thanks as always for the great videos!
6:24 Jesus Christ. Don't teach people to cut moldings that way. It's insanely dangerous. A little piece like that you can easier cut with a hand saw. Just mark the angle.
Nothing wrong to see at 12:35. Not a whole lot can go wrong there, it’s a miter saw not a wood chipper. 6:24 was hard to watch though, just because of what can happen to that piece against the fence when it’s no longer supported at the bottom. Running the crown nested through a table saw is pretty baller though. It can be hard enough to keep a piece of crown nested on the miter saw without a crown stop.
@@andrewhouse6300 doing it Brent's way is stupid when you can just hold the crown flat and tilt the saw blade to the correct angle. People shouldn't create "how to" videos if they're going to halfass safety.
Only as dangerous as a lot of cuts trim carpenters do all the time. Bring the blade down smoothly and have a high tooth count and sharp blade on the saw. The danger is if the blade grabs the piece and pulls your hand toward the saw; Brent is keeping his hand low and braced against the saw table. Using a high tooth count and sharp blade is the first step to mitigate the potential.
The amount of detail is staggering but what a difference it makes.
Agreed! Thanks.

One day.
We have a Pediment over the front door of our 1868 stone home that needs to be rebuilt. This video helps! thank you!
Glad to hear it. Good luck!

I love it. Doing this for my front door eventually.
Awesome. Thx.
That’s awesome. Totally nailed is. 👍👍
Thanks 👍

So glad it helped.
68.5 is a long 22.5 this kind of work is second nature to me I restore very old houses for a living
Awesome. Most craftsmen have forgotten these things.

Wow, great work. Thanks.
Brent, You are the man! But that table saw rip is pretty dangerous, I would recommend making a sled.
Good point. Thanks.
Brent, wow this was very, very informative even though I'll never build one, I really enjoyed this learning .....................
Could you do a video on building a classical dormer pediment with 7/12 pitch? It will be interesting to see the differences.
Ok. Thx.
Awesome video. Is the raking cyma pitched/rolled, or just the horizontal one? Thanks.
Yes it is. Thanks.
What wood would you recommend for exterior applications? What special coatings would help make it weatherproof?
We like Sapele, but Windsor has a treated board. You can also use Accoya. paint with High-Gloss paint. Good luck.
Could you recommend a company/catalog that sells the raking mouldings? Thanks for the help.
There is not one to my knowledge. You have to make it.
Thanks for video but you didn't show how to cut the crown raking mould for both horizontal side and front pitched side of the pediment. What angle should I cut the pitched side corners, 22.5 degrees? Also, the angle for joining horizontal raking mould corner stays as normal right?
Yes at 22.5. I figured that was the easier cut and didn't show it. Thanks.
I dont get it...I try do model it 3d cause I cant find how pediments are build. At moment 7:16 those 2 moldings that you say that fit, just dont see how...anyway great video!!
Ok, more to come. Thx
22.5 and 67.5 (90) , correct? Not 68.5 and 22.5, (91)
Yes, not a math major. Thanks for the note.
Just wondering how to design moldings to put in a catalog, what program do I use? who do I call?
I have a small shop and a molder in PA and I'm just trying to get my foot in the door with other local contractors
so I can provide more value. thanks as always for the great videos!
Good question! Not in my pay grade. I supsect a graphic designer or print shop could help. Good luck.
I haven’t seen anything like this on a house built in the last 50 years.
I think that is because we've forgotten how to build it. Its best on a colonial revival or traditional house.
90°-22.5°=67.5°
LOL, that's why I'm not a math teacher. . . THanks.
@@BrentHull I understand, we're in a profession that that can't even get 2X4 right.
Isn't 68.5 plus 22.5 a sum of 91?
Haha, probably, I should have said 67.5
Drinking game! Take a shot every time he says “Right?”
Haha, sorry about that.
Whoa you rip on a table saw like that???? Scary
be careful.
6:24 Jesus Christ. Don't teach people to cut moldings that way. It's insanely dangerous. A little piece like that you can easier cut with a hand saw. Just mark the angle.
Thanks.
And at 12:35 is a no go . Unless you don't need all of your fingers
