  • This style of wainscoting is something we do a lot in the new home market I work in. In this video I talk about how to value engineer wainscoting. This is a great production method to give a great wainscoting look at a great price point.

    As someone who is looking to panel a very old UK house, your video has given me some superb tips on how to set out the panelling. What a great idea to vary the thicknesses of the timber. Thank you

    Your process is amazing Spencer!
    Making simple decisions on different thickness's of materials ,knowing where they will move and keeping it hidden.
    Then execution is fantastic 👏.
    We use PPG paintable caulk on all sides of painted cabinets ,before they hit the paintbooth.
    This keeps the black crack,away from any movement that may happen

    Hi - I know this was posted a while ago but wanted you to know I just completed this in my guest bedroom and it turned out amazing. The tip of choosing a wider board for the top was particularly helpful and made the installation go so much faster, plus reveals are so pleasing to the eye. I have watched loads of “board and batten” videos and yours was the most helpful. Just wanted to made sure I thanked you.

  • @MikeZMonroe
    @MikeZMonroe 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Your videos in almost every case relate to some aspect of “value engineering”. Value engineering is fancy / technical term. A process that minimizes labor, material, scrap etc. without compromising end function. My exposure was in aerospace parts manufacturing. Would be interested to hear your introduction to this process. Self taught? Mentored? Education? -- I too wainscot my dining room using current sheetrock wall, glue and power nailer. Spot on regarding joints cracking. I fancied up the top rail perimeter with small crown molded / top self for wife’s collector plates. As you mention outlets create major layout issues. Keep up your great videos.

    • @InsiderCarpentry
      @InsiderCarpentry  3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I’d say I learned value engineering because it’s an essential concept to understand to be successful trimming new homes. Everyone wants to get the most out of their dollar.

    @georgiafan6618 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I hear you about the layout having multiple issues to solve and the getting a somewhat even appearance. You got it right. I was told to split the windows in half - run the stile under middle of window - but your approach looks better. The windows also add complexity to layout. About heights. Your doors appear 6’-8” (stock) and windows are same height as doors with maybe a 9’ wall. You’re about 6’ tall (72”) give or take a few. You did top rail slightly above mid door (and mid window) - just below your own height. It divides the wall into halves with smaller half being above top rail. That looks right. I added ship lap in my own bedroom. I had to play with the height (I’m 74” tall) with 9’ ceiling. I kept the top rail slightly below 74” and it looks correct - balanced. To me that’s another issue that’s hard to determine but using the visual you presented here, works well for 9’ ceilings. Crown will also tighten up (lessen) the upper wall distance rather nicely. Thanks for the tips!

For this dude's method your walls better be very flat. I wish you good luck.

    The biggest thing is always use appropriate size nails especially on older homes because you are not shooting into studs and there are wires , plumbing, gas lines ,etc and you can nail a plumbing pipe and you will never know until the nail rust through and if its under pressure you will have major damage if not caught in time! I know l made that mistake!!! Remember the glue is what holds everything in place not the nails!! Good luck and awesome video!!!

    I think in a bedroom, which that room looked like it might have been (?), this is a very smart approach. However, in a living room or dining room, unless you go with a darker stain grade (or paint), you’re going to see the slight reveal of the styles butting into the rails. That being said you couldn’t be more right; having to add complex joinery to flush the styles and rails adds an unbelievable amount of time. Good video
