      When I built my house, I had my architect design a baseboard profile and had the baseboards custom cut. I used the same baseboard to build the crown molding. Yes, it was a ridiculously expensive house and, no, I wouldn't do it again.

      The tube algorithm has me locked into a lot of your videos and I must say, your point of view has to be appreciated by a lot. I definitely appreciate it myself. Ok, so I’ve tried Alex didn’t seem to hold up the two times I used it on crown molding. It developed cracks throughout. I live in the south where humidity is relatively high. I’ve since switched to dynaflex 230. This caulk doesn’t crack. Not trying to throw shade, just wondering if the Alex that you used on your project held up.

    Jeff I am handy and I have completed many renovation projects but there was always details missing.Your vision of a channel and truly sharing your years of experience has re written the book on DIY and given myself the boost that I needed.

    Bro… once I found your videos, I stopped watching anybody else’s. Not that they’re inadequate, but because you make it seem so easy. When it comes to extreme DIY, you must have confidence. And I leave your videos with my chest out, ready to smack a polar bear. Every single project I’ve done in my home is thanks to you. You’re a god among men. All the tips, the tricks, and seemingly answering my questions as they arise in my brain. It’s unreal sometimes. But the most important thing about your videos, is that they allow me to pass this knowledge on to my sons and daughter. And then they’ll pass it. Your simple presence and humbleness to share all that you know with complete strangers is true love. And the world needs more of it. Please keep doing what you’re doing. I’m just one subscriber, but you’re changing the world. One video at a time. And for that, I thank you.

    My only input from the video... at least show people how to cope your inside corners even though most DIY people won’t do it. Also, always nail the flat part on the trim. You can’t properly putty inside the grooves or on any radius. Flat area can always be filled and sanded perfect.

    LOL, I have been using a compound saw for 40 years and understand the saw and its dangers. One day, I was holding a piece of 5 inch wide door casing trim to make a cut up against the compound saw fence same as you do in the videos. The saw was at a 45 degree angle to the right-side. My left hand was on top of the wood and fence holding the trim firm with my hand and fingers on both sides of the fence. I had plenty of clearance from the blade, As I pulled down the saw to make the cut the position of my middle finger was in the way of the blade and I cut off my finger tip at the knuckle with the back side of the saw blade after it past through behind the saw fence. Lesson learned: Triple check for safety of your hand during positioning of the trim cause blade guards are attached to the saw and cover the blade from the front, but not the backside.

      I have a ryobi cordless nail gun and I don't use it. If you use nail guns a lot you'll notice if the pressure isn't set high enough the nail will blow out the side. I had that exact problem with my ryobi nail gun I even got shot in the finger because the nail blew out the side.

    I don't know where you were while I was busy trying to learn all of this by myself. Including the video on how to tape and mud drywall 🙂 This information is invaluable! Wish I'd had it way back when I was first learning how to cut with the blade on just the outside of the line. Sure would have saved alot of trim!! After 7 or 8 tries I finally figured out that I needed to stop cutting what was a perfect measure on my mark causing my trim to always come up short! Now I do exactly like Jeff has shown here and Walla! Perfecto! Thanks for the step by step tutorial. Can't even learn enough tips and tricks!🙂🌺

    Was thinking when you painted the trim, watching you dump the paint from the gallon jug to the paint tray, my thought was that if you run two strips of masking tape on the top of the paint can, sort of in a V shape and then pour the paint in that direction you can avoid getting paint around the rim of the can! Sure you might already know and just didn't care but yeah!!! Thanks bud!

    Another great video. Thanks! I live in London and have a relatively new house - it's only 125 years old :-) I had all the coving and skirting (baseboard) custom made to match the small number of surviving remnants that hadn't been removed. A local specialist company made wet moulds for plaster cove and copied the wood profiles, and remade everything for not much more than the off-the-shelf stuff from the giant hardware store across the road from their workshop. Cannot endorse enough the advice to search for local expert suppliers. You may be pleasantly surprised at the cost and quality.

    @davidperalta5280 3 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    I would advise NOT nailing through detail on painted boards. The detail is exactly that, a detail, and you want to preserve those crisp lines. Nailing in the flat is easier to fill as you have a reference edge on either side of the hole to fill and ensure flatness of the fill. Also, in wood moulding, the detailed part has been routed and thinner than surrounding areas, hence weaker. If the grain of the board is running perfectly parallel, your hole in the detail will often create a small split, leaving you with this -- shaped hole. Another reason to nail in the flat.

    • @ojames1983
