- When trimming rounded corners or bullnose it can be a challenge to get your baseboard measurements right. I developed a handy tool that saves a lot of time...

Nice joint. Thanks for the video. I've done untold thousands of these bullnose base corners as a trim carpenter. Three decades and untold thousands made me pretty good at these. I tried many techniques including using a ijg like yours, and also a jig with just one miter. I've done so many of these I just mark the first long piece in place by eye, cut and install. Mark the shorty in place also by eye. Cut and install. Then measuring to the long point on the shorty, cut and install. And that final miter on the third piece is 25 not 22.5 so the joint stays closed on the front. If things aren't perfectly lined up I persuade the joints into good alignment with my hammer. I can really boogie on these bullnose corners, both paint AND stain work. Took me a LOT of corners to do the bullnose boogie. lol Definitely enjoyed your video. Thanks again.
This is by far the best on the job technique.
Thanks for the tip. My nail gun usually breaks that center piece so I just glue it. Also, I make a bunch of those center pieces so they are all the same size. Cutting at 23 degrees definitely helps.
Best idea to make a mock up.. didn't think about that then Measure from the corner markings... genius.. thanks man very helpful
Thanks for taking the time to share some of your knowledge with us, this was very helpful.
Thanks for sharing and teaching that technique, great job!
Thank you. Very helpful and I appreciate the time you put into it
simple but a great trick and easy to understand. thank you and we did enjoy this short great clip .
Thanks Steve, Just replaced my floors. I've got maybe 16 rounded corners. I couldn't believe what guys were charging to do this work so I'm doing it myself. I've done baseboard before so it's no big deal, thanks for the help.
Glad to help
Thanks was having trouble trying to figure out a easer way. This work. Thanks
I had No idea how to handle this and your video truly helped make sense of it. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for posting. This is a great way to handle bullnose corners
You're welcome!
Excellent video and explanation ! Looks great!
Thank you very much!
Excellent job!
Thanks! I am not a professional, and struggle with these corners. I will definitely try this method.
Just what I needed. Thank you.
That's a great idea.
It will help me, thanks.
Thank you! Made the job much easier and looks good too.
Jason, I'm glad it worked out for you. Stay tuned for more hacks...
Thank you - very helpful!
I have marked a line on my chop saw for the size needed for the middle chunk, cut them all at the same time, and use the 2 side peices as guides to nail on all the corners first. Then I measure out all the baseboard at the same time and cut it all at once
Nice Job Steve. Good camera placement too.
Good job, really helped thanks
Great info - thanks!
I've got that kind of bull-nose wall corners in about 1/2 my house and have to replace all the baseboards after I tore them out to replace the flooring (a lot of them weren't in very good shape and the corners were all cut square). I think I have this down, but it's good to see other people doing exactly what I am planning on doing.
Great video
Great video thank you!
Great job
Thanks. Quality work.
Much appreciated!
Good tips! I’m repainting our house and, years ago, a puppy decided she liked chewing on our baseboards so I’ll be replacing many areas. I’m having a hard time finding the exact ones so will have to contact our builder for help.
Great tip!
This will save me hours and hair ...
stop ripping out the hair hermano lol
That's a really good idea
This is the best tip I aver see thks
Thank you, I was trying to figure out how to trim my rounded corners. This really helped!
Try cutting your long pieces with a 25 degree and the 5/8 bullnose with 22.5 degrees… this will make the entire mdf trim to hug the bullnose much better. Same with outside 45’s.. always cut those 46 or more
Also on your jig.. cut the bullnose in half vertically and then glue the 3 pieces so you can mark lines on the wall just like the plastic jig you spoke about
Good video
Good idea !
Cool way to do it w/o a bullnose template.
5/8" in on the miter cut, four cuts of 22 and 1/2 degrees.
22 1/2 is very right, cannot see how the 23 will work out anyhow.
you sir are 100% correct 5/8 works the best for these bullnose corners , with the 22.5 degree cuts
Professional base runners glue up a jig like yours. Only difference is the 5/8” center piece has it’s top 3/4” cut off. That makes it easier to mark the wall for end cuts of the adjacent lengths. The other trick is to cut the 5/8” piece at 23° on both sides, occasionally, to insure the outer edge is closed. Corners are not always 90°.
good video
Brilliant!
Thanks!
Ingenuity at its best! I was trying to figure out what you were going to do.....I was waaayyy off!!! Music is significantly loud in the intro when compared to voice audio, FYI.
Very helpful!!!! I'm a beginner
You got this!
you cut the piece on the left to length. But before nailing it you pulled it apparently a little right of the mark you made. Wouldn't that piece now be short on the other end?
Smart idea
Thanks for sharing, I think you can purchase wood rounded corners at the Big box stores if you wish to keep the look and continuity of Bullnose corners.
Yes that is true for some baseboard profiles...Not the one I was using though
@@RinconSteve Thanks for that info. The more reason for me to pay close attention to your skills handling bullnose corners. Thanks again.
If it’s available in the baseboard you have selected it’s going to cost around $10 each
Thanks bud
Hey so just a question? I’m repainting my baseboards and doing some touch ups around the corners just like your video. Some corners have minimal gaps and the question is how would you fix? Wood filler or the pink stuff? Thanks for the video good info doy DIY!
Use caulking in gaps and cracks. Use spackle, or wood filler only in nail holes.
If I'm cutting on the flat (I have a small compound mitre saw) do I have to split my bevel in half with the angle?
22.5 degrees should be the same on that saw
I dry fit and cut everything and then use superglue on one edge and an activator spray on the other to glue them in place then shoot with 18g brads, then shoot a little bit away with a 16g nail
很好👍great!
How to you bevel cut the bullnose at 22.5 on each side? Do you use a compound saw? Since it’s only 1 in width seems tricky.
Help here would be appreciated. Thoughts?
@@danashburn1878 Hi Dan, sorry for my delayed response, I have a Ridged- Dual Bevel Sliding Power Miter Saw. I cut the angle one way; then mark my 1"; cut the angle the other way. The 1" piece drops off. You need a dual bevel miter saw to be able to cut it both ways. I hope this helps.
Yes it does thank you.
I bought a Bench Dog bullnose gauge and never looked back
How about a video on how to cut baseboard/trim for "rounded inside corners". There is not a single one on TH-cam.
Never seen rounded inside corners before. Well not done like that on purpose, just poor mudding jobs.
@@Lylestyle-DIY Not poor mudding job, it is the design of the walls. On one side of the wall it is a rounded outside corner, then you go in the adjacent room on the same wall, it is a rounded inside corner. It is common in some of the track homes in my area .
@@Joel4JC cool, should post a pic, ya don't see those in my area. Might be neat to try.
How do I add a photo he's got it sort of the 5/8 or 3/4 are the best usually
Hello Garret, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying...
I think you are saying that the small piece is 3/4" (or 5/8) on the inside (not outside). Outside is a function of how thick the baseboard is.
love your name
What if you don't have a 90°? What do you do on a 45°corner ?
My video is about the mockup to do 90 degree corners. You probably don't have many 45 degree corners, so not worth making a mockup. If my math is right, each cut is going to be 12.5 degrees. Do your lengths by trial and error.
2 @ 22”1/2 = 45o and I use a Home Depot pencil square hold it against the curve
How to you do an inside corner this way?
I've never seen a rounded inside corner...the best way to do an inside corn is to cope your corner trim pieces. Search it on TH-cam. It take some practice to learn.
Have trimmed hundreds and despised them all. Never Sade anything wrong with the square comer. Twice as many cuts for something that looks like shit doesn’t make sense. My 2 cents
My knees hurt just looking at you
Right! I have never warn knee pads...I have big callouses on my knees.
I never nail that small piece. I get the other two nailed and then I put some liquid nails on the small piece with my finger and set it in place.
gluing is the best way, you are right.
Get yourself a bench dog bullnose tool. 10 bucks . & tune into Richard on you tube trim carpentry.
Most old houses don’ t use bull nose corners. When did they start using bull nose corners in houses?
I know we have a house in Texas that's 16 years old and we have it. This is a big neighborhood so it started around then here.
Around the year 2000 lots of houses in my area started using them.
show the cuts !!! more action baby!!!
Can’t hear u!!
audio trrrible
I stink at making videos
Other than measuring in horrible American system this tutorial looks amazing.
Hi Heinrich. Thanks and you are right about our measuring system, I did some construction work outside the US and was please with how easy the metric system is the us.
Exactly rincon lmao
Do you have something against precision and fractions?
I personally dont like the look of the baseboard cut this way when bull nose corners are used.
I would rather just standard 45 degree corners, and fill in the top void with a good job of caulk.
I am a builder, and that is how i did my own house.
=Home owner hack :)
Bad Drywall work
If you want to see how it's really done go on to --Finish carpentry tv, the right way to do it.
Well, Richard does have a good way but, it's just ONE way and not necessarily the best way.
@@SomeDumUsrName Yours is guess work and poorly done at that.
@@maxedwards7612 lol yeah ok man
Lol
dude Check your audio before you post
Please don't make your viewers DEF No need to shock with overly loud intro music. Not nice!
