Yea, let's see how the jamb master works!
I am 73 and own a high end custom millwork shop and have been watching your videos and can tell you now Sir that with your talents you should be doing high dollar custom work and forget the commodity market. In my market which is Near Washington, DC I service accounts with carpenters of all levels of experience and the really talented ones have clients that are begging for their services and are more than willing to pay a premium. Great job
Jamb master video is a must. Trim carpenter for 15 years and never heard of it.
I’ve been dying for you to make a video of how you set your doors! Would love to see how your jamb master works. Maybe you can show us how you set your doors without it as well!
Big fan by the way. Thank you for sharing your techniques and production style methods.
I’ve been a Jam Master fan since the 80s. Jam Master J, that is. RIP.
Sorry for the bad dad joke. Thanks so much for these videos. I’m amazed each time I watch your videos of the amount of knowledge you have in your field. Thanks you for sharing it with us.
Love watching tools and jigs to make things look and install better. Please show the jamb master. Great work as always.
YES! YES! Please ! Give us a vid on the jam master!
I've only ever installed split jambs. Excellent info and tutorial. The jamb master looks awesome. Jigs are super helpful
Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for putting in the extra time to make these videos
Your channel is a gold mine.Yes...jamb master!
Mercy !! Am installing 7 of them on Saturday …. Perfect timing Spence… 👊🏻👊🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥
Thought I had my split jamb game up until I see Spencer come through again. Think I’m searching jamb master reviews until you give the real low down. Always pick up a few new tricks. Great video
I hope you see this! Through all of your insightful narrative, I do enjoy the added touch of switching between 3rd person view and 1st person view, seamlessly. Your profile explaining details, then just your hand showing and demonstrating what you're doing...all with a light-medium fish-eye lens.... allowing for both 1st and 3rd to be in full view. Great job!... 😁😁😎 yes, I noticed, and admire your work.. great job with everything!... keep it up my friend! 😁
Nice educational video, I’ll bet you just sold a few jamb masters today and pointed others to consider using one.
You can never lose owning tools that help with consistent accuracy.
If any of you use a jig to install a glass screen saver on your phone this gets the same precision in getting the door and jamb in place every time.
I can do it manually and get a great fit every time but not with the speed and precision of this system.
This is why I come here, even though I’m doing this since before Spencer was born, I learn of a different perspective, a new tool, new materials etc.
There’s no downside that I see.
You’re not kidding! I would buy one in a heartbeat if I was still doing commercial millwork. Used to set a ton of prefinished hardwood split jambs, no nails allowed. Got very fast at preshimming plumb the hinge side and then used a cut board to shim from hinge side to strike side, then glue and clamp the jamb in place. This would have made the process almost foolproof once set up and even more accurate.
Wow what a great video Spencer ..... I'm never come across split jams before from where I live.. They look so much Easier to install and looks so much better thank you for a great video very educational 👍👍👍👍
I worked in the house construction industry in the early seventies. Of course pretty much everything I learned was old school. But we had a boss that did everything with Kingdom Quality. I appreciate your Kingdom Quality that you use with the work that you do and with the videos you make. I pray that God richly blesses the work of your hands and that you always have plenty of work.
Be BLESSED !!!
I’ve been waiting for so long for you to do a jamb master video. I can’t find much info about it and you’re the only one I really see using it.
Biggest question I have with them is how easy/aggravating is it to adjust from one door size to the next. Are there presets for typical door sizes? And are those presets adjustable? I find that not all 3/0 doors are the same outside diameter. Some manufacturers have 5/8 jambs some 3/4. Some have 1/8 reveals, some 3/16.
Next question is how durable/rigid is it. I’m a finish guy so I’m relatively easy on my tool, but at the same time I don’t want to have to baby them. Just from looking at it it looks like there is so much possibility for it to flex as well either when installing it or when routing.
Look forward to the video, and always appreciate your content. Wish there was a two thumbs up button.
You're not alone...I need to get a video made...
@@InsiderCarpentry Yes, please! Thank you for so many excellent videos!
I think you did one awhile back but yes would like to see more on this
@@InsiderCarpentry Yes please do asap
It is a waste of your time and money. Been doing commercial and residential door installs for 24 years, and this is a case of taking a lot of extra time and money to do something that takes 5 minutes with just a level, nail gun and shims.
Yes, I DO want to see a video about the Jamb Master!
That's a smart invention. Set that in place start routing with the jig doing the calculations of shim placement and depth. Nice work 👍
Yes, I would very much appreciate learning more about the jamb master.
Your videos are excellent, I have learned a lot. Thanks.
I absolutely love that you revealed that you ran into problems. Too many videos are done in the perfect setting. If you know anything about remodeling or construction, there is no perfect setting. 👍🏿Great video.
really appreciate your channel..always something new learn..thank you!
Yes please show this jamb master thing in depth, never seen one before and it looks incredibly useful
Mate you are top.
I watched some videos from you.
I'm very impressed.
High level carpentry!
Would really like to see ajamb master video. Thanks for all the wonderful content you put out and keep up the awesome work.
Yeah I'm an old timer retired Carpenter.
I would definitely like to see you show us the jam Master routine.
Thanks for your video.
Always great projects and professional advice .. you do a fantastic job on the vids and the projects have perfect as perfect can be results.
Hi You … it’s me you. What’s my password to this old TH-cam account
I would love to see the master jammer do a video showing how the jamb master works.
Thanks for tricks and tips. Lot of them are realy useful)
I definitely want to see that jamb master! Never seen anything like that. Also thank you so much for your videos, I learn a lot
Absolutely Spencer, we would love to see the Jamb Master at work. Never heard of it before.
So your the "Jam Master" damn I've been looking for you to come supply this party with music lol
Absolutely would love to see a video on using a jamb master. Thanks!
That would great to see the entire process of using the jamb master, start to finish. I've hung alot of prehung doors, but never thought I'd need a jamb master. :)
*Great video man!*
Yeah I want to see the jamb master at work, i might be interested in one!
Awesome video, yes let’s see the jamb master !!!
JAMB MASTER! *cue 90's hip-hop beat*
Would love to see a how to on the jamb master! Specifically, how to set the jamb master to your jamb width, how to account for the offset in the routing guide, and then how you arrive at your router bit depth so that your blocks are routed to receive the outer dimension of the jamb. 👍🏼
Beautiful work!
man solid core split jamb doors with pre applied trim on it....if i could find that in my area. Everything is done so cheap now a days.
The way you shim doors is some top tier stuff man my goodness.
Wow, I've never even HEARD of split-jamb doors. Seeing them, they make sense. Have never once come across them in my part of Canaderp.
Definitely would like to see a jamb master jay video.
Man you are so awesome. I love all your videos.
That's something I never seen before. Love to see a vid on it.
Good idea moving all of the doors first thing in the morning. Hikers know that what weighs an ounce in the morning weighs a pound at the end of the day. Also, do the hardest part of the job first. After that, the job just gets easier.
My 6 hp out board motor gained 20 lbs by the end of the day
But the beer cooler got really light 😂😂
Fact 👍🏿
Love to see the jamb master.
Jam Master! Let's go
Let’s see the jamb master!
Love to see video on JAMB MATER.
Never heard of the Jamb Master before. Looks like a cool tool!
Damn! I’ve heard the Jambmaster term but never saw what it was. Looks like it would save some time once you got the hang of it. I’ve always shingle shimmed it after the hinge side went on. Going to look into this!
I worked in a door shop for several years. We never put solid core doors on split jambs because the casing would get ripped off easily during shipping. Solid core doors were hung on flat jambs with casing shipped loose. Also, most installers that I knew, didn't shim split jambs. Just slapped them in a couple minutes.
Slam that door with only the casing holding it and it'll rack.
I was thinking that too- i think a lot of split jambs get installed with less care than this😂
I've always found it fascinating how over there when building a house the temperature is controlled fairly early in the process. I'm a flooring installer in New Zealand and the heating or cooling is pretty much the last thing to go in the house and normally it's just a heat pump or fireplace, sucks if you actually have to acclimatize a product because the temperature is only really controlled by the level of insulation in the house.
Have allways loved them !!
Great Video! I would like to see more about the Jam Master.
Great video !
Yeah, I would love to see a video on the jamb master
That’s a fantastic video
Thanks
Have always used flat jambs on the homes we build. Seem to be more substantial and stays plumb and level when done right. The trick I use is to install the trim on the swing side of the jamb first and then place it into the opening. Check for plumb and then tack it. Go to the reverse side and shim between jambs and cripples accordingly. Back to the swing side and complete the nailing of trim and jambs. Install trim on the reverse side and done. There are times when walls are not inline so its easy to reset the stops when necessary. A little extra work is involved at times where the drywall is proud of 4 and 9/16. Our shop will give us the options of wider jambs but the price is a little higher. Love your videos. Thank you.
I'm just happy to see someone else here knows the difference between plumb & level!
Yes please do a video on jambmaster
I’d like to see more of that jam master rig.
Definitely please make a Jam Master video. That looks like a tool that would make setting door much easier.
Yes please video on the jambmaster have never even hear of this apparatus we need to know more can u use this for both 7 and 8 ft doors
Yes if you please, a video on the Jamb master would be appreciated. Never seen one and would like to see how it works.
Def do a jamb master vid!!!
Please show video of jamb Master instalation thank you great video as always.
Wow that saves so much time. Great job looks great as always. Love to see how the jambmaster works?
Design and technology has come so far... its like meccano now.
I’ve never installed split jamb doors before, only regular pre-hungs but I like the idea of the split jambs. It looks like it’s easier for the casing to sit flat against the wall and the jambs aren’t proud of the drywall or vice versa.
looking good Lewis.
Interesting. I am a couple hours East on the other side of the state, and I have never seen a split jamb. Thanks for posting!
The last two houses I made all the doors and jambs out of walnut or white oak, and I would have never thought to do it another way.
I'm surpised Spencer, that your market is split jamb heavy. I'm a couple hours south of you( Indy area) and maybe once every 3-4 years will come across one. We are 99 percent solid jambs here.
Damn! You are good Brotha! Great work! 👌👍
Yup, I want to see jamb master as well
Just ordered the jambmaster super nice lady from edmonton its 535 deliverd to idaho good price 👌🏻
Jamb Master video!
Never heard of the jamb master 🤔 but always love new toys.
Jamb master video please
I like that you get the doors and where they go labelled. I just get a pile of doors left laying against the house and have to guess where they go and which way they open haha
Man, I wish all new construction carpenters were as careful and thoughtful! I come behind these guys, and it's often a real mess!
Nice video. I have a 5 gallon bucket with me for trash and blocks. I would definitely get a jig like that if we did split jambs here. 👍
Please make a video on the jamb master.
Love the channel.
That jamb master looks sweet. Seems simple enough to set up as well.
Jamb Master video it is Brother: bring it on. Very good class. Thanks a lot.
At my lumberyard in MA, I can order flat jambs to any size jamb width. They also offer "loose casings" that come mitered and assembled, just need to cut the legs to height.
Seems like split jambs are for installing doors before floors cause you get the height of the flooring in play, otherwise trying to cut attached casings and jambs to set on flooring seems tricky.
Installing click lock flooring or tile after doors are installed is a PITA. Usually always set my doors on the finished floor.
Love love love the jamb master as shown, however, I'm not a trim carpenter and cannot justify buying it. I'm a tool junkie though and if I ever land some big door job for whatever reason I'm getting it!
I was installing split jamb doors in Virginia back in 1990. Wish they would offer those out here in California!
Im inerested in seeing a jam master video.
I've never seen a split jamb door; I work in Washington, but usually just small remodels. Interesting concept.
It would be great if you could do a video on the job master. Great job on the split jamb doors
I'd be interested in learning more about the jamb master. Also the price comparison to hanging a door with it and without
I’ve never heard of the jamb master and am very curious to see it in action. 👍👍
I was kinda chuckling when you were complaining about those few issues in the beginning of the video. It must be nice to have a door company that can provide a product that you can essentially drop into an opening. The Millwork company’s that we can purchase prehung doors from in my market are all horrendous! We struggle with most of the doors they ship to us as the quality of the workmanship is total crap. We are in a market that is all about slap it up anymore. Great job keep it up.
That's the way it is here too. The prehung doors are all just awful. The mortises are never right, hinge screws are over driven/stripped, put in crooked, the hinges aren't in the mortises correctly, the door slabs are warped. Of course the customer always expects a perfectly hung door, and it's the installers fault if it isn't.
I want to see how the jamb master work!!
Brilliant, as you said at the start new house. In the uk I work on old building mostly dating back to the victorian times. Down to the 1700s. Doors can easily have heads out to 2 and a half inches even 3 inches. Part and parcel of the British House. Some 6 panel doors look ridiculous.
Please I've been asking you how to use the Jamb manster for months.!
@5:53 And here I thought the "Jam(b) Master" reference was for you! :) Would love to see what that thing does. And hot glue? color me intrigued.
*Welcome*
*Back*
Noticed your shim locations are the same as Gary Katz videos.... When you get to making your video on shimmaster it would probably be a good idea to mention what your reasons are for the spacing on the hinges for your shims like that :)
Yes make a video on how to use!
