- This week I finish all the trim at the basement remodel project . I give helpful tips and insights on hanging doors, installing door and window trim as well as cutting and installing baseboards.
I'm a fine finish carpenter in the pacific heights neighborhood of San Francisco.
Nailing off the top of the casement and letting the glue set your miter before setting the rest of the casement is 100% spot on advice.
Good job
Thanks man !
I do like it as well if you are in a hurry. What I do instead is mark my reveal intersection and the outside of my trim intersection and draw a line between them then measure the angel and I can nail it in immediately without having to wait and it won’t come off from pressure after a while because it’s sitting naturally
All trim guys have “their way”. I like this method. Thanks for sharing!!
Great tip letting the miter joints set and nailing off the rest of the molding afterwards
Take your measurements for the casing, cut them, lay them on the floor and CA glue the miter joints together then pick the whole thing up and nail it on. Works great for windows too
That’s certainly another way to do it . If you like to pre assemble you can use wood glue and clam clamps as well
I don't love CA glue. Sometimes the activator causes it to set before you can press it 100% tight and you get a hairline gap. Its annoying. Prefer wood glue.
Excellent video. Thank you and looking forward to checking out your other titles. 😊
Clean work. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks man
Great information....will certainly use these tips with my rehab....
Thanks for sharing. It’s interesting how everyone does it differently. I personally favor the hinge side, shim only the latch side. I hang the door and frame together with shims between the door and frame to keep it square. Nice job!
Thanks man . Yah I originally learned to install a door with it still on the hinges . There is so many ways to do things..all can be correct you just end up finding ways you personally find easier. Thanks for sharing
I always use a 15 gauge nailer to tie the header back to the framing to then fit my miters. Takes longer, better product.
that was awesome man super tight miters!
Thanks 👍
nice!
Top Tip 👍
Thanks man !
Thanks for the great tips.
You presented an idea that works well, and you presented it quickly.
Great job.
Agree with another commenter...
Reduce the volume of the music, or ditch it.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it
Good information. The music needs to go. It’s too loud and too distracting.
Thanks for the input .
Maybe when you talk turn it more down ? But not off for the whole video
Great Tip Great Job😉👍🏽🔨🪚📐📝
Thanks man!
Badass 👍
Thanks man!
I mitre mate the architrave together and install it as a full piece.
I’m. It familiar with the mitre mate? Is that a type or pocket screw ?
@@kinfolk_carpentry no it’s a two part combination, one glue and the spray which activates the glue so it has to be right as it binds almost instantly.
Ah ic yes I use a similar product wen I’m doing pre finished crown moulding on cabinetry
@@kinfolk_carpentry try it out with the architrave it’s pretty normal in Ireland/uk.
Me too. I also scribe the internals of the skirting boards,
Great video and I like the music! I would recommend getting a Lavalier microphone.
Thanks man ! I’ve have started to use a microphone in my later videos
For one thing I do the legs first, and I never measure I mark the trim in place.
Yah the marking in place is a good tip . I find it a bit tougher to keep my miters tight when I do the legs first
Only problem with screws just in the center is in my area the up and down moisture means that door will not operated in probably a month.
How do u prefer to fasten the door ?
Is there anyway to see a more detailed breakdown of how you did the window.
Sure the next time I am trimming I’ll do a explanation video of that process
Nice to see a Canadian/American screwing a door liner to the stud. Seen so many just shoot 50 nails into it. Nice job. Just curious. Why wouldn’t you lay the floor before the skirting? Saves having to use moulding.
Thanks man I agree I’ve seen that a lot too. since it’s a concrete floor that has a lot of ups and downs and they will be laying a vinyl flooring down i can avoid scribing all the base to the floor they will just tuck underneath it . It also makes it so I can paint it all and not have to cut it to the floor . I will pre paint all the shoe mold and shoot it with a 23 g
Bit late now but we usually pre paint the trims, lay the floor down then finish with the doors and baseboards. Thanks for the tips!
@@jamin3131 what do you do with all the nail holes? Or do u do a final coat in place ?
@@kinfolk_carpentry ; white wood putty in holes, then a quick brushing over the putty marks with the trim paint.
@@kinfolk_carpentry what Fred said.
I laser my base and scribe ,no working off in even floor.😊
Yah certainly a good way of doing it .
Are those the Occidental "Finisher" bags?
They are I have a whole video on them you should check out .
I actually love the music
glad you like it !
Cutting perfect mitres also means having a properly calibrated mitresaw.
Very true statement.
Don’t need all those screws in strike side on finished floor. Screws are great in hinges, no need to remove stop. Pinning miters from the side will split and un-necessary for MDF trim. Pin from top if needed and you will shoot yourself a few times. I’ve always just stuck a putty knife behind miter ad shot it close. Works every time. Like the glueing miters and letting set before nailing off. Just never had enough time to do it that way.
It’s not mdf trim it’s pine . Pre hung door jams are very rarely straight so I prefer to shim the catch side multiple times and I screw it so I know it will never move . And I do shim my miter just with a shim instead of a putty knife . Everyone has the own way of doing things .
Nice video and to learn about gluing miter joint a waiting 4 hours before said nailing the bottom stiles. Video too fast and didn’t clearly showing the measuring which is critical to a good job.
I can see that now thanks for the input .
Great job.. loved the window trim👍👍 Yes I must admit the music was a bit annoying I thought despite the whole video because I was listening to you not the music
Thanks for the feed back . In my newer videos I have dialed it back on the music
A lot of extra work and time for 1 door. Yes, it worked but pricing has to reflect the time spent
I’d love to know what’s your preferred way to hang a door ?
Waiting for glue? Paid by the hour
Better to pre-assemble……glue needs more pressure that what you’ve got
Sound and thermal
Ts took to damn long my boss set a door in five mins
Faster isn’t always better my friend
Great tips and process. My only critique... get your fingers out of the path of those brad nails! I cringed when you held and nailed the mitered corners.
I like to use CA glue and accelerator to bond the corners.... much faster and you can finish the entire frame in one shot, although you have to make sure they are aligned properly. You only get one chance! ;)
Lol I have hit myself a time or two with a stray nail. I do use ca glue on pre finished cabinet crown and other pre finished moldings. I’m not sure why but I just don’t trust it I know it is brittle and I have no evidence that it will crack over time I just know traditional wood glue has a way better hold .
You didn't even measure for level when you put the top piece on. Huh.
The door jam is leveled during installation and I nail my casing to that so there is no need to level the casing
Is it distracting having those two caterpillars crawling around on your forehead all day?
Only kidding,,,,,,, your eyebrows aren’t weird at all.
Lol not at all they keep dust out of my eyes . I just hope I don’t pass them on to my daughters
Effortless
It’s a shame that such skill is spent on such low-quality materials.
It’s certainly not high end but it’s not low quality all the trim is pine it’s pre primed . I don’t use any mdf . It’s 6 inch baseboards and 31/4 casing . Everyone has there budget they still deserve good results
@@kinfolk_carpentry
Yes, they do. However, the standard of quality has become so low. As a historic restorationist, I love how a meaty casing acts as the connector between jamb and stud, and base moulding acted as a stud tie. Doors and windows did not have to be nailed to studs, as they floated and the casing locked them in - thus allowing for endless adjustability. This 1/2" and 9/16" stuff these days adds no structural integrity and is blown apart with a heavy-gauged nail.
The amount of egress doors I've literally wiggled off the openings...
Your work is great. I wish our building material standards met the integrity of your work.
I actually grew up in a family business where my grandfather and dad built every door that would go into the house they were building and would run every piece of trim and moulding . I understand quality and it’s a shame how hard it to find clients that view it the same way as we do . Look them up siderbros.com
AWESOME!
GOOD VIDEO, BUT DROP THE MUSIC!!!
Thanks for the input .
