    Great tip. I'd never thought to build the trim boxes beforehand. The screws in the window frame as shims is priceless. Thx.

    Me and my wife did our whole house like this based upon your videos and Perkins Brothers videos. Ours was painted and thankfully not stained. But it worked like a charm. Would 1000% do it again! Not even a question! We didn’t use the screws in the sides though. We just left a 1/8” clearance. The screws in the side is “next level”!

    I have done windows like that for years, I like doing the old stile trim with a sill & with ears on the sides & a skirt under the sill
    It’s just a little more decorative

    It's what I have seen others like Finish Carpentry TV do, but it's interesting to watch it being done with such thick pieces. Finishing carpenters do it with thinner 1/2 - 3/4 trims which they sometimes glue with super glue instead of pocket holes.

    Can’t stop watching your videos. They’re super helpful. Question though: I don’t recall seeing how you insulate around the window. Do you have a video showing that process? In past i just spray foam around the frame before trimming out but not sure if that’s a best practice. Thanks for all your sharing!

  • @jeffalan6339
    @jeffalan6339 ปีที่แล้ว

    The trim screws are for the finish carpenter or at least I use them and tell myself that . I notice they never split the wood or just lucky so far. I have seen your Milwaukee stud review I bought one to see if it would be and asset I like the belt hook, though still like the Luftkin Nighteyes the green and black combo with large numbers is an ideal tape though the blades are weak can tear easy.

  • @christopherhaak9824
    @christopherhaak9824 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Never ever smear the glue squeeze out with your finger like you did! You can never get that out of the surface of the joint as was clearly shown on the install that you showed - you had glue issues at two of the corners exposed by the stain. Let the glue squeeze out be and leave it as a small bead. Once it is mostly dry, but not completely, you can come back and remove it cleanly with either a scraper if you like to pull, or a chisel if you like to push. That will get 99% of the squeeze out and make sanding of the joint much easier. All the other tips good, although if you were using something like regular oak trim, it is often much easier to stain and finish first before cutting and assembly. Also, with regular outside finish trim that is prefinished, you can miter, glue the miter and pull it flush with just a single trim screw in the miter.
    All of the concepts are good, but if you can change a few things, it will go even better for you.

Some great tips though, I like the idea of using the screws as shims and aligning them with parts of the window to remember where they are so you don't nail into them.

    If you are staining and not painting the window cases, don't use poplar. Poplar stains like shit. Use an oak, white oak stains great, or use the color you want directly by picking the wood to match. And trim like that really you need to use a straight grain board.
