That looks awesome! Ever since I started watching your channel I started pocket holing my jobs as well and the difference is amazing. While I don't have your john Deere machine I just got the new Kreg 720 and it makes life so much easier.
It's really refreshing to watch someone in the carpentry trade perform so well! Thanks also for sharing your mistakes and how you corrected them. You are my favorite carpentry channel by far. Regarding the old work box installation, make sure the exterior insulation of the wire gets pulled into the box...that step wasn't apparent in the video.
That was a badass carpentry video! Keep killin’ it out there! Enjoying all the content you’ve been posting… shop life and job life etc. it’s one big way of life and it’s cool to learn from another builder
FINISH CARPENTRY- I sure hope you see this. I just wanted to thank you. Because of you by now have the courage to take on a pretty substantial project in my house. 12 windows, 4 sliding glass doors, 5 interior doors and 5 closets. I’ll be placing a Windsor one order at the local lumberyard next week. Try out A few windows at first and go from there. In any case just wanted to thank you. I know it’s allot of work to get these videos out.
I just got my order of Windsorone last week and it’s great. @Finish Carpentry Tv, do you acclimate before starting the fabrication? The videos make it seem like you go straight from lumberyard.
Huge bonus points to you for knowing and calling it a Robertson drive (instead of square drive). Robertson screws have been the go to screws for many years in Canada. It seems to be it's only been in the past couple decades that the U.S. finally got on board with screws better than Phillips.
Yes, I live in the U.S. Torx are great. They've been around for a couple of decades now. In my comment I mentioned "screws better than Philips" with Torx in mind.
The thing that amazes me is the almost casual way that he takes measurements - I tend to do them repeatedly, but still do not get the accuracy that he achieves. I suppose it is down to years of experience, but it still impressive.
Piece of advice on the cut-in outlet boxes, I like to install the outlet to the box before you push the box in the wall (if you have enough wire). This way, you’re not pushing the device in against potentially brittle drywall. Very important when doing dining room or kitchen work because they should be wired with heavier wires.
I'm so excited to be watching the next video in this series!! Two minutes left and I'm already anxious waiting to see the next one!! 😆 Thank you, sir, for sharing with us all!
tip for remodel boxes, take your impact driver and pretap the ears by tightening and loosening them before you install it. Makes them turn up and grab the wall easier, sometimes they stick if you don't and then you try to reverse it and the entire ear falls off into the wall causing you an extra trip to home depot.
These are the video's i look forward to viewing. i have done a few jobs based on what i have learned from your content, i cant thank you enough. it is good to see you back at it. i will admit for a while some of your content went in a different direction, but thats ok i feel i get to know more about you. Keep up the good work and i will keep improving.
Always impressed with your skills. You make it look very easy when I know it's not. I like your stile. ..I mean style. I wish you were in PA so i could hire you to trim out my house!!!
Watched a bunch of your stuff. I really like the editing style of this video. Of course I like the in depth a ton too. Definitely prefer the job stuff. Thanks for the content.
I worked under a trim carpenter as a general helper awhile back. Doing trim looks easy. Most of the problem comes from bends in the wall and out of square window frames. These variables are difficult to make the trim fit. Trims are from $3 to $$ per foot. One wrong cut the trim piece may not be useable any more. I was very anxious when I was taught to cut the trim ends.
Fellow finish carpenter here. I totally feel you here. It falls to us to make bad choices made by others look good. There are a lot of people involved who only ever look at the job on the computer screen, and then it is our job to come in and deal with the reality of what has been built. I do a mix of new construction and remodels. Most of the new construction I can do in my sleep, the remodels are the nightmares.
5:21 Try to do a skin coat caulking. You need to caulking the gaps anyways. Because it's a small corner/end will not show if it's primer or caulking before painting.
Back in the old days :) before remodeling boxes were available we used madison hangers to install old work boxes. Of course back then we drove all nails by hand, used soap on the threads of straight head screws, the only cordless screwdriver was a yankee and we cut all of our miters with a back saw and miter box. I don't miss the old days.
So here’s my first ever comment. Get some Fast Cap HD flush cutters, they cut 18ga brads and 23ga pins smooth and flush, and they have magnets to catch the off cuts. Easier than bending and breaking them. Awesome work!
Loved this! Can already tell that it is going to come out beautiful! Because of this channel, I have had several intervention conversations from my wife about my Home Depot spending 🤷♂️. She should consider herself lucky that Windsor One isn’t local to me 😂
I wish you were in Pheonix man! I'm a builder here and I've never seen a trim carpenter here with your skills! Top Notch work! And you're a Marine I think I heard!? Semper Fi man, keep it up!
You do beautiful work Richard. I would only suggest you see about having some sort of portable work table to eliminate so much up and down and working on your knees. You will pay the price for that in the future.
It's all math. I hate math. Really good video on alternative ways of doing things, i always do my installs in place dont use the pocket screws. Old school cause I'm old and learned on old old houses. Cheers for the robby plug from a Canadian who hates philips unless you love stripping screws.
Can you make a narrow outside corner by the switches rather than leave your 1x4 full width and notch? That way it just runs straight down to the right of everything and gives you something to wrap the top cap around the corner and return into adjacent wall. I think it gives the corner some depth vs a blunt end. I’m sure you’ll make whatever you decide look great. Awesome job around the cabinets and backsplash
Forget the pocket screws on a job like this… get yourself a corrugated nailer… that’s what I use for wainscoting it’s way faster and easier… You will not be disappointed
I'm sure you're already done with the install but around those switches you could make a mounting block in a sense that is flush and equal size with the stiles and rails then bring your switches forward to essentially sit in the 1x material as it would on the wall and then your cover plate will sit on your 1x stiles and rails. Hope it makes sense
Easy? Well, … with a “few” years of experience. Time lapse also helps. Interested in what you do to prep the walls, attach the frame, and what (if anything) you do with the interior panels. Great video!
Robertson beats star and flathead for sure, but is par with allen (hex internal) and Torx. I'd say allen and torx tends to strip less, but they cost a lot more!
@@gl5986 French Canucks tend to refer to Philips as star (étoile), because we’re different, and that’s the literal translation. At least that’s how I read this comment.
Your work is so nice I will would have wanted those three light switches moved or changed somehow. It’s not very attractive the way they impinge up upon your trim footprint. Your work is fantastic. I am a builder always fighting with people who want to screw stuff up.
I know its probably overkill but we would also use biscuits and glue as well as the pocket screws. We have the makita biscuit joiner which works wonders. Other than that love the look so far
Love your work man and the quality is top notch. I was hoping you can do a video on how you measure and cut your material. I seem not to have confidence in my marking.
I really like the way you layed the stile over the backsplash. Much easier on the eye. I did a pretty bold move once as well. I added mitered return ends to ship on the edge of a wall. Following the wall through. I was surprised with how well it looked.
You can get torx drive pocket hole screws which work even better than the square drive. I found that the square drive bits seemed to wear out and then strip the screws. Torx is the way to go for sure. Just a thought.
Great idea about rabbeting that piece over the backsplash, versus butting to the backsplash and then having to caulk or grout the joint which can look ok but over time not so much.
Not a huge fan of the the wall switch situation, but I'm not sure how to work around it much better. One suggestion, is to maybe combine switches? Search for "3-Rocker Combination Switch". I even saw one with a three way switch, but not sure what to do about replacing dimmers and/or smart switches, which it looks like you might have there. Or maybe, combine the circuits, as in making 2 or 3 lights operate off of the same switch.
You guys do great work and are very detailed. I did notice a power drill then you're small speed square on the kitchen counters. Simply better if you don't do that. Unless they are covered with a protection of some kind, I couldn't tell.
From an energy efficiency point of view, there are lots of holes left in the wall insulation. Places for cold, heat, moisture to get through. My guess is the house isn't well insulated to start with, but still, it is worse now. Will look nice though!
As always your wainscotting looks great, but, I think if you stopped it at the door and not try to work around the light switches it would of looked better, I don’t like the way it looks with the cuts around the light switch, just my opinion

We use torx bits in America. Typically we only see Philips and square bits in hardware included with Chinese products.

😂😂 it’s called editing. He even said in the video his cuts took alot of tries because he was doing micro cuts trying to get it to fit perfectly
Starting my wainscot project this weekend. Just finished your wainscot playlist. Watched all the videos about 3 times. Love the content
I was skeptical at first about the design but this is starting to look really good! Excited to see the finished product

I love this video, I have been doing remodeling since Covid started and I have learned so much from you. Please keep these videos coming
Bro....the electrocution got me.
Richard and John amazing work as always…!
Another outstanding build / video! I enjoy following along and learning new clever ways to build. Thank you for posting!
Great presentation!!! I will be investing in a pocket hole jig for sure. Thank you once again. Look forward to seeing the finished job.
I've used the pocket hole jig for years on jobs like this you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner
You make this look easy. One note, for the electrical box to be code the sheath of the romex needs to be pulled into the strain relief.
Awesome tutorial and I loved the getting zapped sound effects! Your narration didn’t miss a beat.
Keep up the great work and content.

I always think of moving to Phoenix! Love it there!
I think I saw some saw dust at one point, but rewatched and I was wrong. That work site is prestine. Seeing you work is like therapy. 😁😁
As always another great video. Fun to watch and looks great, you are a true master finish carpenter.
This dude has become one of my favorite carpenter to watch..
Man, just gangster AF. Great, smooth work. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Looks great and 💯 agree on the square drive.
You do beautiful work Richard. I would only suggest you see about having some sort of portable work table to eliminate so much up and down and working on your knees. You will pay the price for that in the future.
Bora centipede table
See those grey hairs poking out, haha. Knees and back are next, I bet we see at least a foldable table for assembly soon.

I wondering the same because as a corner it will end up being the same width as the rest. A bit of an optical illusion.
Amazing! Love the detail and good work, keep it up!
At 0:48, laughing so hard I can’t breathe! Try chamfering just around the notch around the switch plate cutouts?
You are an artist! Love your videos.

Subscribed! That looks great! Why is it better to assemble it completely and slide it into place vs. nailing each piece to the wall as you go?
Nice to hear someone in the trades pronounce wainscot correctly when too many call it Wayne’s coat

Get a Cadex 21 gauge pin nailer for tacking up your pre assembly they hold awesome but easy to remove
not hoseless
Some cabinet installations are insanely more difficult than trim work.
This is The right way of doing this most of the carpenters would just nail it in without and pocket screws
Looks great. Stay amazing.
This type of content never gets boring
Well done lad 😉
You scared me with that fake electrified noise 😂😂
From an energy efficiency point of view, there are lots of holes left in the wall insulation. Places for cold, heat, moisture to get through.
My guess is the house isn't well insulated to start with, but still, it is worse now.
Will look nice though!
You will probably have to pay an extra $1 a year on heating costs and It will be a cold winter with those tiny little holes
Thank you. I learned a lot.
If you wet caulk the end grain and wipe it off with a damp rag they will take paint awesomely
A partner like John is worth 10 million bucks.
Definitely. The hardest part of the job for a contractor carpenter isn't the work, it's finding a good carpenter to work with.
