Josh, you seriously make the best “how to” videos on TH-cam. I’ve always said you have the heart of a teacher. Thank you 🙏 You are very much appreciated 🤙
Hey Todd! I’m glad to see you watching another video. I really do appreciate your support with my channel! I’m thankful to be given this opportunity. Hope everything is going good with your projects. Take care!
I've never heard it called a stool; only known it as a sill. Anyway, excellent video! Best I've seen. 👍🏼
My four favorite channels on TH-cam, Yours, Vancouver Carpenter, Finish Carpentry TV and Grow in Faith Grow in Christ. You explain everything so well, I hope it pays off for you handsomely.
The best window trim installation video on TH-cam. Most of all very detailed. Most other videos I found were short and without any detail.
You seriously make the BEST videos. Great job planning, filming, editing, and all the rest of the background work to make these possible!
I try my best when I create videos. You are right when it comes to the unseen background work. I am thankful for subscribers like you that appreciate the content. Thank you for watching!
Trimming doors and windows have always been a favorite of mine. I actually have a biscuit machine made for trim that I have used to make up the frames with biscuits in the corners and let them set over night on jobs the just have to set them in place and pin them. Always making sure you number them in case different sizes were to be part of the job. Sills are always nice as well to only have to make up three pieces. But if it was a picture frame look, the biscuit system is great. Great job on the video and workmanship Josh. 👍🏻
That’s a great point about using a biscuit machine. I don’t earn one of those but I would definitely try that out. Sounds like you can’t go wrong with that method. What making model machine do you use? Thanks David for stopping by and watching!
@@TheExcellentLaborer actually there isn't a name on the unit. It's one that it set up with a foot switch my father in law put together, but works really well. The older things always last forever. 👍🏻
Made a great video. You finished it off nicely. My compliments.
I cannot believe the workmanship issues with framing (Gaps between trim and casing) also not filling nail holes. I guess thats track home contractor mentality.
Josh, Thank you for the video. I learned so much from your detailed process.
You are welcome! I’m glad I could help. Good luck with your project!
Ty brother.. easiest way I was ever taught 💪💪💪💪 and my boss has 30 yrs experience 😂😂😂 great video subscribed looking to learn more with your other videos as we are getting into the flipping business.. will add alot more to my portfolio 💪🙏💪🙏🏡🏡🙌🙌 ty
Thank you for this video! I watched a few videos before yours but they threw out so many different measurement numbers it was confusing. This makes it seem easy and not too overwhelming!
Excellent detailed video, thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us 🛠️👍
Your video is great and timely as I’ll be installing kitchen window stools, casing and trim next week at my daughter’s home.
That’s good to hear Carl ! I’m glad my videos are hopeful for you. Good luck with your trim project!
Very helpful! Thank you! This saved my project. :)
Your tools are very amazing
I try to be a do it yourselfer. I just ordered windows and this is going to help me a lot. Thanks 🙏
Congrats on your window order! I have been buying MI brand windows for the past few houses. They seem to be a pretty good bang for the buck. I hope your DIY projects are going well. Thank you for watching!
Wow you explained everything so well! Thank you 😊
I appreciate that! Stay tuned for more videos to come!
Very very useful ❤, thank you so much
Hey Josh, I love your videos! You're a great educator. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the support Will! I will keep the camera rolling. Take care!
Best videos on youtube
Great vid for anyone lucky enough to work behind a good framer and window installation. Sadly at least half the windows I trim the frames are usually up to 3/8ths proud or recessed along with the drywall being 3/4" from the window frames on one side or the other.
Always wanted to learn this thanks so much young man 👍🏻
Window trimming is not too bad you learn. I’m glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Great job, very knowledgeable!!!
I appreciate that Lenny!
nice guy! and great video!
Nice !
Great video.
My only suggestion... get a set of Fastcap Zero Clearance Tapes for the miter saw. They apply to the plastic insert (the yellow part on your saw's table/base) and once cut with the blade you will be using, provide an exact kerf location that makes getting your cuts dead on accurate. I think they can be had for $10 and you get a set of five. They are a huge time saver and even make the cuts cleaner with no blow out on the under side of the work piece.
Dude reminds me of the Micro Machine Man talking so fast lol. Love the vids tho 👍🏼👍🏼
I do talk fast sometimes. Time is of the essence. Thanks for watching!
Great idea 💡 👍
Thanks for the support Anthony!
Great video
I appreciate that Eric!
Another excellent, in-depth video. Thanks. I don't have a high speed miter saw just the manual one with a manual saw that I definitely will be using when I need to replace trim. My dogs in their haste to get out the back door really scratched up a side trim on the door and now I have a better idea how to replace it.
Hi Joe! I have used the manual miter saws in the past. They definitely work, but after using an electric motor it is hard to go back to the arm powered version. Yes I will be doing a video on door trim in the future. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Great thanks. I don't blame you especially a professional carpenter like you it's a must have.
I use a sliding carpenters speed square for the set back at 3/16" with the 2.5" colonial.. likes it slim, but 1/4 is very appropriate for the wider trim like you have there. That gets me the all the dimensions in one shot. The inside size of the 45° I have to carry with a speed square and cut, where outside sizing for cuts is much easier/ faster. Moreover I always use metric for cut sizing, it's much more accurate & cleaner.
When fitting, I just slice back 1/2 blade width.
Spackling us definitely the best for nail covers as it does not have the shrink caulk does,. Once n dunn!
Nice video for the diy'rs
Oh yes a square of that nature would work great for marking the reveal. That’s a good tip! Thanks for sharing with everyone. Yes spackling is much better because it does not shrink like the caulking. I have used that in the past but you still see the nail holes using caulking. Thanks for watching!
I love your video. That said, something my dad taught me was, when measuring you need to be precise...- I know you are measuring to specific length and marks - but you SAY "that's ABOUT xx" but we WANT it to be precise, dont we?? it sounds confusing when you say "About"
That does look great. Just wanted to ask you why would you use spackling instead of wood putty?
Nice vid, thanks for the tips, can you tell us how long these projects take you(start to finish one window trim) in your videos? Just curious how I need to budget my time for my project!
I should learn how to do more things
I hammered the like button like you said and my phone's screen is broken now. Jk
Thanks again for these videos! Quite useful for me
Great video. I am o l d but am surprised by the term “window stool”. Back in the day it was called a window sill.
Yes some people call it window sill as well. Either term is acceptable. Thanks a lot for your support. Take care!
Where did you get that trim from? Love it
Do you have a video like this but for the outside???
Do you ever caulk the outside edge of where the trim and the drywall meet so there is no visible crack?
Very good worker, love the country accent 😅
Can I use 2” 18 gauge brad nails instead of finishing nails?
👍
Thank you Charles!
Josh, do you base in NJ?
How are those Ridgid tool holding up? I can't decide on those or Makita
So far they have held up good. They tend you cost less than Makita. I hope that helps!
Brad nailer vs a finish nailer for trim/base boards?
Either one will work but I like you use finish nailers because the nails are a little bigger for better holding power. Hope that helps!
@@TheExcellentLaborer thanks!

Bruh, you need to start advertising your own gear instead of giving Carhartt free advertising
Your handsome 😜
Great work
I appreciate that Ronnie!
