Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
My stressful day has just been healed. Thank you Jason for doing the hard work of..... having a brilliant idea, planning it, buying the materials, doing the actual work, filming yourself whilst doing it, charging camera batteries, finding/cleaning/uploading SD cards, editing hours of footage, voicing it over, uploading and adding all the text, reading all the resulting emails from youtube and finally suffering all the comments about baton spacing and your utter lazyness for no using a tack hammer.... so we can just watch and don't have to do any of that.. at all... ever. Best youtube channel there is.
Cutting holes in drywall for outlet boxes is pretty commonly done with a rotozip. Similar concept. But the trim router with a full bearing bottom flush bit probably looks a LOT nicer in mdf than a rotozip would.
Taking pictures of every inch of your house has always been a life saver for me (both while it’s under construction, and even after it’s finished) You never know when you need to reference some obscure part of it, to answer a question you may have.
The Forman is allowed to do whatever he wants. He has to make a surprise spot check to make sure you’re doing it right. His public loves his appearances.
I laughed so hard at your photo bomb in the 360 panorama at the end. Awesome job, came out beautifully. Been wanting to do this for my dining room and definitely will eventually.
Swedish worker here. I have a tip you probably already know rgarding the door trimmings. Start with the top , not the sides. Use a level. Door should already be level but you never know. Calculate the proper width. Cut. Nail. Now take two precut lengths (with 45 degree cut) , Stick it to the floor-wall upside down with the pointy edge touching the floor. on Top of the top trim. Mark it on Top of the overlap on eye-level. Dont mix the up before making. Perfect lengths, works especially well with 45 degree angle. Remember to let it off the ground 1/8th of an inch or 3-5mm. Two measures for 6 cuts. (Top width and side position of the top trim need markings)
I like your practical approach. Just because you are a skilled woodworker doesn't mean you have to cut down your own trees, dry the wood for 5 years, mill it, etc. Use what works for the job. You're still applying a lot of skills in the use of the materials, tools, and techniques.
Another stellar job. The dimensions you chose for the trim soften the height of the ceilings and make the space so much more inviting to work and create. Great choice on the color scheme
I agree, no one ever notice mistakes in their house unless they are actually looking for them. I have not seen one house old or new that doesn't have any building issues from floor to ceiling and walls to windows.. I love watching your videos, it reminds me of my younger days when I was building homes.
That's the first time I've seen the battons installed without the headache of measuring over and over and I like it! Going to try that method with my office this summer/ fall when I get the bookcases built. Had been wondering what I would do on the other walls because I know I don't want to leave just the textured drywall. This video hit just perfect for me for the remainder of the year!
Great video sir. Pro tip from a finish carpenter of 40 plus years. I will typically layout all trim components directly onto the wall before starting. Often times moving an electrical box an inch or two will save you from a notch in the trim or a weird sized panel. The 1/4” panel means the drywall repair doesn’t need to be perfect. Just remember if your putting trim close to a box, the electrical trim plate is bigger than the box. 🫣
I did this to my home with ⅛" hard board and ¾ MDF 14 years ago. Took a production built house up several notches trim wise and really added the craftsman touch to the lower level.
I truly love this video because you actually walk it down step-by-step and pretty much in Laymans terms… I’ve been following your channel for years and it was quite a while ago I doubt you even remember it I asked you at one point if you were a finish carpenter because I heard something that you say and you said “of sorts”
As a once upon a time trim carpenter I can already tell you nothing's ever square, level, plumbed, or evenly spaced. That's the true magic of being a trim carpenter. You did a great job.
Having piddled around in carpentry since I was just a kid w my dad I've always said I should have been a cabinet builder because I am way to particular especially where it's virtually impossible which is most places. So naturally I am gravitating to trim and finish work. Framers are a plenty but a finish/detail guy can almost name his price. Self teaching basically by learning from mistakes, I love it and people are always impressed. Patience grasshoppa...
@@Fnberg744 a Mexican taught me and self-taught after I left the carpentry business I still do some side work here and there but only for a few. I'm a plumber now but if I find the right customer or the nice people that are cool is the only time I'll do carpentry for. It's nice to be picky and try to give your best work to the better people.
Learning to eyeball it when dealing with construction is a skill you have to have. Here in the UK where all the old houses are wonky AF pulling something in plumb and true may well look terrible you have to kinda fudge it so it sits right.
Wow it looks fabulous! I wish I was 20 years younger. This was so inspiring and you made it look simple enough and made me believe I could do this myself but my hand and back is not as strong as it was 20 years ago. Also I do agree that you have to look at the space in an artistic way and not measure your self to death. You have great ability to see what works practically in your particular area and work WITH your space. Great job!
What colors did you use? I'm in the process of redoing my office. Seeing the color combo of grays you used i love it and would love to paint my office the same colors. Awesome work.
So moody and awesome. I love it!! Must be gorgeous with all the season changes. Door came out beautifully. Love the video and the paced and detailed explanation. Found my new fave channel 😍😍
Great video. At my house I used 1/4” hardboard glued and stapled to the wall, staples covered by battens. All painted with a brush to try to mimic the look of a wood a little bit more. The groove on the top and bottom trim is awesome. Would have kept me from having to add a top cap.
Hey Jason, this looks amazing. I had 2 questions...Because the space was already so well done, WHY did you use the 1/4 mdf on the wall, vs just put the casing on? Question 2 was, where did you find 1/4 MDF I have looked everywhere and it is either really expensive (96.00 a sheet) or only in bulk? I really like the methodology and it is really clean! Thanks for any help.
Wow this turned out beautifully. I went a measured but I didn’t do a complicated wall with layers like this. Well done. They sell some boxes with a screw adjustment allowing you to move the box in and out by screwing or unscrewing one screw in the corner.
Perfect timing! I've been thinking of doing something similar in the foyer. That's a great space you have there. I'd love to walk in there and bark. That echo effect brings out the little kid in me. Lol.
I watch a lot of DIY shows on here and regularly TV, gotta admit your is the best, great job in front and behind the camera as well! Your craftsmanship is 2nd to none! 🧰⚒
Looks great. Thanks for mentioning extending the outlet boxes. Whenever you have a combustible wall the outlet box has to be flush with the face of the wall. The 1/4 pieces you mentioned are call box extensions.
As a kitchen installer I switched from a 45 at the seam to a 22.5 so the sharp edge is less sharp and the seam is even more hidden. Try it you’ll like it, I promise
Looks great! I am going to do this .... smaller scale in our hallway... the wainscotting is from the 50's and needs to go. Thanks for the Idea! Tool Tip: Use Electrical Wall Boxes with Adjustable Brackets, turn a screw to adjust the depth of the box. Brings them right front and center when you want to add to the wall and if you ever go back to flat walls, just turn the screw the other way to suck them back in. less than 5 bucks at Home Depot....
Bro. Epic. Beautiful. I’m looking forward to seeing the entire space done and furnished. Are you going to show the outside? Did you build a stand alone on your property?
That’s a cool looking room for any occasion. Very nice job…painters. 😆 Just Kidding 😆 You did a nice job too Bourbon Moth. Very entertaining videos, thank you for taking the time to create such cool & fun content.
Great job, Jason. Looks great: and that color you used on the trim and batten complements the room and style perfectly. 👍🏽 What paint and color is it? If you wouldn’t mind sharing?
This video was great. I've done wainscoting a lot. But I still managed to pick up a few tips. Outlets can really be a pain. When I can, I relocate them to the baseboard and mount them sideways. Your office turned out fantastic. Thank you.
I appreciated the advice about eye balling the vertical slats between the windows. That just makes more sense than trying to measure everything and the result is excellent. The way you cut that quarter inch groove in the top and bottom boards so everything slotted in was really professional. I would have just glued regular board to the wall with no groove haha! Thanks for the tutorial man!
looks great, I would have never noticed the difference in the spacing. I do love that you put liquid nail where its not needed. I'd have probably done the same.
Very nice work...as always. And man, that whole 'office space' is pretty pretty sweet. I know its not your thing but I would have loved to have seen how the painter managed that.
I’m a woodworker living in Japan. And I know it’s super pedantic cause pronunciations change in new languages but it should be sue-ee-zahn. And reeyoh-bah. Otherwise fantastic video. 👍
The beginning explanation in the finished area truly looks like one of your thumbnails the room makes you look like you shrunk yourself. Normally I'm not one for dark rooms but it looks real nice.
Hey man great work quick question where did you get those wood floors? Also what color did they use to paint office space? Looks so good keep up good work.
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
Stop poaching other people's channels.
Every time I watch your videos I learn new information. Thanks for keeping it light, honest and entertaining. You make learning fun!

Me and My dad saw you buying this material in Albany. It was cool to see you in person. We enjoy your videos
I absolutely love your channel. You have a gift for teaching.
Flush trim router for the windows/outlets is GENIUS. 15ish years of doing handyman work (Now doing carpentry) I never thought of that lol

I worked for a custom home builder for a short while and this is exactly what I did! I actually did very slow video walk-throughs and used them often.

Foreman's rules always apply!
Him coming out in his pajamas is the OPPOSITE of unprofessional. He's coming to check in on you at all hours of the day or night! XD
🤣🤣🤣
My husband watches you and I swear youre the bob ross of woodworking 😅😝

I noticed straight away…… how sweeeet it looks. Fantastic job. Great advice about the spacing.

looks mint! routering the top of that base is a great idea. will definitely be doing that from now on

Great color choice for the paint! Looks great in such a large open room.
Looks beautiful as always! I love to watch your channel!
Great work, Jason. Looking forward to a full tour video when you are done.

so much talent-----I wish I could have even just one tenth of your skill!

I'm loving the color....and the design is awesome as well. ❤
Excellent work, brother. Beautiful result and aesthetically pleasing.
Stunning! Love the colour too.
Looks great. Thank you for sharing your woodworking talent.
Very helpful video. 👍
The spacing on the looks wonderful and I would have never noticed... I am actually considering that you may just be a wizard.
Absolutely wonderful video. I'm redoing my basement shop and going to incorporate this excellent idea, Thanks
Wow this turned out beautifully. I went a measured but I didn’t do a complicated wall with layers like this. Well done. They sell some boxes with a screw adjustment allowing you to move the box in and out by screwing or unscrewing one screw in the corner.
Wrapping straight Outta Locash! Awesome work and a great look for the new Office.

Fantastic job man. I really like the paint color and your sense of humor too.
usually promos are annoying....Thanks for promoting something you use all the time. heading out to the bbq to flip burgers with my suizan! genius!lol
That was easier than I would have thought. Great job!
This guy is great…. What a pro and super fun too!!!
Simple, yet elegant. BOOM. There's your marketing line. Well done.
I watch a lot of DIY shows on here and regularly TV, gotta admit your is the best, great job in front and behind the camera as well! Your craftsmanship is 2nd to none! 🧰⚒
I have thinking on doing this kinds of walls at home. Thanks, now I know exactly how I should do it.
A really good video.
I know this video is a year old but just catching it now, you always inspire me!!! This is awesome!
I see what you mean Re: the spacing of the battens. You have great intuition and design sense.
It definitely looks fantastic! Love the subtle color variants from changing of light in camera motion. Awesome!
I love it BMoth. I am planning on board and baton at my new house so this is super helpful.
I really like the tall baseboard in that space!
Looks AMAZING! Well done.
It's really coming together and looks amazing.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your skills Sir.
Love the casing and the paint color
Looks awesome. I’ve been wanting to put casing around our bedroom windows, thanks for posting this instructional video!
Looks great! Really like the colors. And, you're right. I don't notice that the spacing isn't the same between the batons. Great tip!
Thank you for giving a such-and-such good idea. And a fun project
Looks really nice. Great job, thanks for sharing.
You doing amazing Job. So carry and precisely.
Looks awesome! I only knew they weren't perfectly spaced because I've installed enough of them over the years to know perfect isn't perfect.
I have to say... I like this style better than the shadow box style! This looks more timeless in style and won't look dated in 5, 10, 20 years!
Looks great. Thanks for mentioning extending the outlet boxes. Whenever you have a combustible wall the outlet box has to be flush with the face of the wall. The 1/4 pieces you mentioned are call box extensions.

You crack me up!🤣 The office space is beautiful! Very classy!!
Another great video, Jason! Your new office is going to be an amazing space. Looking forward to the rest of the build and the reveal!
Great video! Totally digging the steel entry door.
Great job, Jason. Looks great: and that color you used on the trim and batten complements the room and style perfectly. 👍🏽
What paint and color is it? If you wouldn’t mind sharing?
Second that

It looks amazing painted with that color

Great tips regarding layout and I think it looks absolutely amazing. Nice job!
Great video, thank you for expanding my trim options. I didn’t realize the ease of making this type of casing myself!
That does look nice. Kudos on the remodel.
So simple but a massive transformation
What's this a sponsor I didn't skip past? Cool!
i have one of the Japanese Pull Saw and they are so awesome. Love your videos too.
Great content, nicely done!
I absolutely love this channel!
Very nice work...as always. And man, that whole 'office space' is pretty pretty sweet. I know its not your thing but I would have loved to have seen how the painter managed that.
Quit staring into my soul!!!! 😂 The space is looking great man!
LOL! That might be the tallest B&B I've ever seen. ;) Looks wonderful! Great job!
Jason, very well done great works thank you.
I’m a woodworker living in Japan. And I know it’s super pedantic cause pronunciations change in new languages but it should be sue-ee-zahn. And reeyoh-bah. Otherwise fantastic video. 👍
Cool thanks for sharing will try myself to prononce it properly;-)
Fuck that pronounced "de-walt"
I was thinking the same thing. Lol.
Mil-wok-ee, or sianara 🤣🤣🤣
@@imnotfeelingit207 as was I. It's quite pedantic of you to say so so stop w/trying to have everyone pronounce it your way.
Very nice. I learned something new today to try in my own house.
I agree you do great videos. And great projects
The beginning explanation in the finished area truly looks like one of your thumbnails the room makes you look like you shrunk yourself. Normally I'm not one for dark rooms but it looks real nice.
Lowering the outlets and rotating them would be helpful to get rid of some of those extra obstacles if you do something similar in the future.
Dude, you are a straight up kook! I love your videos! The room looks awesome!
Absolutely love your content! Keep it up! You're doing something amazing for all of us!
Hey man great work quick question where did you get those wood floors? Also what color did they use to paint office space? Looks so good keep up good work.
