    I was trimming houses all the way back in the mid 1980s. I'm going to quickly say, I'm glad you pronounced it "Waynes COAT ing." That's the way I've always pronounced it and JESUS, I can't believe the number of people that have tried to correct me on this. Thank you for pronouncing it the way I have since 1986.
    I also like the way you keep your tape measure in your left hand and you've learned to read the tape upside down. YES! You are a man I RESPECT!

    Nicely done. I like that you did the backboard and a cap. Especially because a majority of the homes I see today the builders are just using MDF trim and painting the sheetrock... was great to see a quality job done like yours. Thanks for sharing your project and tips.

    • @FamilyFriendlyDIY
      @FamilyFriendlyDIY  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. I fasten them together as a unit because not all of the stile/mullions will fall on a stud, if so, they'll just be nailed to drywall -- which is fine if adhesive is added too. Of course if you already have plywood on the wall, then that would help with the nailing.

    @odie8320 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    alright, let's get right into the issues that i see. firstly, your end stiles should always be the same height as your middle stiles. maybe you wanted to do something different, but in doing so you have now provided an inconsistent look throughout your panels. Secondly, I commend you for using pocket holes but you are using them the wrong way. the entire point of pocket holes is to provide a PERFECT transition between 2 pieces of wood. This is attained by using a Face Clamp along with the pocket hole jig and clamping the stile to the rail with the jig attached. Then, and only then, you use the drill bit provided to drill the hole. Notice how the tip of the drill bit looks like it has a smaller drill bit sticking out of it? This is to provide a pilot hole into the rails so that when you install your screw it doesn't kick the rail out of place. If your issue is that you had to work off the floor so you couldn't fit a clamp underneath then just block up all the joints where the rails meet the stiles and slide each block away while you use the clamp & jig then slide it back underneath afterwards. I can see ALL of the inconsistent joints in your build and if you did it the way I am recommending then you wouldn't need to sand them to get them even. Third, I will again commend you on using actual panel board, as too many people use the wall as their panel which ends up with an "orange peel" effect due to wall paint being of a thicker consistency and being applied by rollers, but with that being said, your installation process was not ideal. I noticed that you used a thicker construction adhesive instead of wood glue ,which is fine, but when doing so on something that is intricate by design you need to squeeze that glue as flat as possible by running your hands (or block of wood or something) along the back side of the panel where the beads of glue are, with as much pressure as possible before using fasteners, which brings me to my next item: brad nails are not the ideal choice in this situation as they don't provide any shear strength and won't suck the panels into position very well at all. Using a pneumatic stapler would provide better results but I, personally, would drill pilot holes and use screws. Using screws gives the entire build immediate shear strength so it can be moved around instantly instead of having to wait for the glue to dry, and you would get even more strength if you use one large continuous panel instead of smaller separate panels. Installation of the build was acceptable, but I'm sure you noticed that you should have applied the glue before you got it into place but hey, everybody forgets things from time to time. Now onto the worst part of this video (so far, I'm commenting as I watch) and I am not going to be nice about it: The detail where you ran the cove moulding into a notch in the baseboard looks like absolute garbage. you can't just use cove moulding wherever you want and expect it to look good, and you DEFINITELY don't run it into a notched baseboard. On top of that, your baseboard shouldn't have been replaced with anything but the exact same board you used for your bottom rail. You don't mix profiles and you should also never use quarter-round as a shoe moulding; it's ugly and there are much better options out there. I should also point out that if you had just built the whole thing to the proper length instead of leaving a gap between it and the door casing, you could have avoided all of baseboard and shoe moulding issues. I get it: you figured that you needed to take the full length and divide that by the amount of panels to get the spacing right, but division using imperial measurements is super tough so you trimmed enough off the length so that you had an easily divisible number, but it is SO much easier than that: simply measure the full length and make a center mark, then make a center mark between the initial center mark and each end, and VOILA, you now have perfectly spaced stiles. If the panels end up looking too small in width then, instead of using those marks as centers for your stiles, use them as the centers for your panels and now you have a 3 panel detail instead of a 4 panel detail in the same space. nice work on scribing the chair rail to match the wall, but with all the other inconsistencies you have, doing so is akin to adding a Bentley symbol to an 1982 Honda Civic. you could've just run a bead of caulking along it and gotten results that would have matched the quality of the build. Nice choice on your panel moulding but your mitres are off, so either your saw needs to be calibrated or you are already suffering from the build having inconsistencies. Lastly, NEVER us filler in place of caulking. It doesn't provide a smooth enough look to hide the imperfections. Mitres and seams get caulking, nail holes get filler. I would like to conclude by saying that I would never have made this comment if I didn't notice that you were TRYING to do it the right way but clearly just didn't have the training and experience to do so

    • @FamilyFriendlyDIY
      @FamilyFriendlyDIY  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the question, Ismail. So that I understand better, are you talking about an uneven (wavy) floor (like high and low spots within maybe an inch of each other)? Or are you talking about transitioning down a step or steps? If it is just an uneven floor, you would set the panel on the floor, use shims to level it, then scribe the bottom and cut it so that it follows the contours of the floor. I believe I do that in this video: th-cam.com/video/HB2rXQCWYFA/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps. If not, let me know and I'll try to answer better.

This way is better than those big ass 18 gauge holes. Now that you gotta putty the 85 holes you shot into the molding, sand, then paint. I am telling you this for your own good.

    looks ok on camera. but a camera at 5 feet away can hide a lot of ugly. First. You should have mitered that end cap instead of just butting it together. Second. You didn't need to scribe that top piece. Just make sure it has equal distance from the face if the wainscoting and put a small bead of silicone on the top gap. Third. You could have just moved the plug box out to the face of the backer board and eliminate having to use that stupid spacer. Forth. I wouldn't have used the backer in the first place. it makes the trim around the doorway look stupid. Doorway casing should always look more Grande than than the wall casing. Overall not terrible craftsmanship.

    First you need to learn how to pronounce the word of what you are building. What is that monstrosity you just affixed to your wall??? I guess you don’t like the low profile look, eh? lol. Maybe you could work in a secret stash spot in that enormous gap behind the wainscoting. Notice there is no a between the c and the t, so cannot be pronounced how you are pronouncing it.
