I'm a trim Carpenter on the side now, frame houses as a day job. I learned everything about trim from TH-cam, you and Insider Carpenter, and Matt from next level. Thanks a ton for your knowledge and expertise, it's given me the confidence to know I'm doing a dang good job 👌.
Your personality so much matches your craftsmanship , patient , simply thought out , Instructions followed to the letter , all beautifully put together
Around here we have metal electrical boxes. Any time I need to “break” one free from the stud I slip a metal cutting blade into my recip (saws all) and cut the two nail right along the stud. Works well on newer installs were there are screws holding the boxes on too. I’m also in favor of the other comments about using the oscillating tool to cut out the drywall. If you are worried about cutting into something behind the wall just use the tip or corner of the blade to follow your lines and only go as deep as the drywall is thick. Great series btw Richard. You’re making want to do this in my old house. Always thought it gives any observer that thought of attention to detail.
Funny! Wrapped bullnose was my very direct question in your last video. Thanks for showing how it's done. Your a trim wizard! Your sorcery never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work and videos!
Lol....the door casing is the series cliffhanger. (It's really a great series. Focusing on the detail that most ignore is where success and all the great knowledge is found. Thank you for the persistence in detail...THAT makes you a hard charger in my book!!)
After watching another video where you used the spring clamps I decided I really needed a set. Checked the internet and found several "cheap, made in China" offerings and one made in USA. (The ones you are using in your videos) at twice the price. Though it over for a couple of days and bit the bullet and got the good ones. Turns out for me, they would have been cheap at twice the price. Latest project required miter corners on trim. Dug out the spring clamps and for the first time I can remember I got perfect results. These spring clamps are great. Just check fit, apply glue and clamp, perfect results. Keep on introducing new products.
From trim carpenter to trim carpenter great work I definitely learned a few tricks that I have not known especially from one of your previous videos when you are trimming out stairs
Hi there , been watching you from early days as your style of trim is starting to take off over here (England), although your base board is called Skirting board, trim around the doors and windows are called Architrave,window board is called a Window Cill ,
Durnint, do that door casing or I'm driving from SoCal to DFW and doing it myself. Trust me... you'll wish you had done it after you see my work! :D As usual, awesome work, great information!
The fact that you knew it was a double stud at 2:10, that is the small industry-knowledge-specific stuff I love seeing when I watch your videos. The little stuff like that is what makes you a pro.
I have followed this wainscot series and really learned a lot. I am beginning to refinish my home office and will use this technique as my wall treatment. Thanks for all of the detail and tips. I also appreciate the reference to the special tools that you are using. Cheers.
Greetings from Canada, I am a carpenter but I really do enjoy watching you work and explain things. Keep up the great work can’t wait to see what comes next
Been watching your videos for a while. I find them very helpful as a beginner/intermediate carpenter. From the tool reviews to the how to quote a job videos, i always pick up a few new techniques which come in handy on the job. All that being said these new videos are really taking it to the next level. You work is excellent! Thanks for explaining everything! Big fan! Also want to add that these videos inspire me and give me confidence to take on work i might of shied away from or postponed.
I hate using drywall saws lol I use that oscillating multi tool for drywall all the time. The carbide blades are best because drywall won't dull carbide
One concern is that an oscillating tool will go through just about anything. Cutting by hand with a drywall saw allows you to feel if you are hitting anything important such as a pipe or a wire
I’ve had to move a bunch of boxes, I used to remove them with a wonder bar too, but the best way I found was to take a hacksaw blade and wrap electrical tape on one end to make a handle and saw the nails off. I know it might seem like a time consuming process but I feel like it’s faster than just using a wonder bar. There’s been some instances where using a wonder bar pulled the box into the drywall and cracked the surrounding drywall. Anyway.. I thought I’d mention my own experience with it. Another great vid man. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks to your videos I've moved two outlets and a switch. It looks much better just to move them than to wainscot around them. Unfortunately, in my case I had to fill the holes they left behind because I was doing shadow boxes on the entire room from top to bottom so I just used the drywall as the background instead of plywood or some other smooth surface. To cover the holes I screwed a piece of 1x3 pine behind the hole and cut a scrap piece of drywall to fit. Then I just used a couple coats of drywall compound and sanded smooth. So moving outlets and fixing the holes is very simple and well worth it.
That dewalt multitool does an awesome quick job cutting receptical holes. And hand screw clamps would be great support for when you were attaching the stiles
Hi..i am i rought guy on construction...but since i start looking at your video.....i m trying to get the tools you have and work on the finishing...it asking me lot of patient....but men you make love what i doing. Thanks a lot
For cutting drywall I like Dremel MM435 Drywall Jab Saw Oscillating Tool Accessory. When you use it for the first few times it will seem strange; however, once you get used to it you will love it. When I cut a hole to run wire I can use the cut out piece as my patch due to the tool being so thin.
Dead at "just to irritate ppl" 🤣🤣 thanks for the videos! I'm learning a lot. I've been impressing the boss man, even got the job from some of the tricks I learned from your channel. Big thanks dude!
I have been renting a house for the last 2 1/2 years and remodeling it for the owner. A few months ago he gave me the option to buy it. I closed on the house yesterday. I can not wait to start trimming out the house. Your tips are life savers. I need some help with the front door. The door is level and square but the wall is NOT. The casing is proud about 1/4 inch at the top and recessed about 3/8 at the bottom. I am hunting a way to fix this that does not involve 9 lbs of wood filler. I dont want the reveal to be out of wack either. If you ever run across this please make a video. I have seen a few on here but they are awful examples of people butchering the sheet rock and shoving the trim into the wall. I will trim out everything except the front wall waiting for your expert advice. Thank you for the time and effort man. Your videos are awesome.
How much does filming effect productivity? I think you sharing your expertise is such a wonderful resource for folk. But it would be so hard for me to be so articulate while simultaneously being precise enough for high end trim. Your the man!
Great training vids brother. Keep it up. One piece of advice, i've followed along with your series but for those that may be new to the series or even new to your channel, think about maybe putting links to the previous parts in your description so they're not challenged to find it. Keep pushing brother. I'm glad your channel continues to grow.
I would never do this in my house though! It would look so bad! You dont understand how EASY he makes this seem. I can't get a pretty corner on baseboards🙄
Great video! When the laser hits the wall you get one thin line and a kind of glow on both sides of the line. That's the wall reflected a nearby bright light. But the camera is sensitive to this and appears to combine all three into one thick line. The more reflective the surface the greater the effect. You can see the size of the actual line when it hits your hat or dark clothes.
I like your style Richard . I’m a lifetime carpenter and you are a hell of a craftsman my friend. I’m a sub and I hit the like and comment every time I can. Keep doing what you’re doing obviously you’re doing something right.
Looking great pal! I'm going to pick those spring clamps up they are the business, not sure they do them here in Ireland haven't seen them, amazon I'd imagine might have them, I've never do a bull nose, looks tricky and a job that has to be very accurate, thanks for another great video.
That’s a great table saw , is old type but it great . I have two , do not like new ones. You can run plywood like its butter. Good work .keep up the videos. From dallas.👍
Love this series. Any chance of seeing how to go around a 90 outside corner? Here in New England, I've never even seen a bull nose corner. It may seem obvious but I'm wondering if the trim at the corner would be mitered 45 or some other method?
Sean McGrath Hey man I grew up in New England as well but now live in Louisiana. I’ve never seen bullnose on the corner of wainscoting in NE or down south. Guess that’s what makes Richard who he is. By no means am I speaking for him but I’m pretty certain on the bullnose corner it’s actually 22-1/2 degrees (half of 45. It’s weird the first time you do one but gets easier as you go.
What I mean is that the corners in my house are 90. So would I just cut the stiles at 45 to wrap around the corner? Seems like a dumb question but wouldn't that make for a really sharp corner?
An idea for wrapping around the bullnose corner (fyi, I’ve not tried personally)... what if you went ahead and just made it a hard 90, then used a router with a round over bit along the edge to recreate a “bullnose” on the wainscot trim? Off the top of my head, the shape would be nice and match the rest of the exposed drywall rounded corners, but I’m thinking that the exposed edge-grain of the wainscot might not look so good even after paint.
Richard you never cease to amaze brother! It’s really cool watching you grow and share the knowledge. Super talented man and cool as a cucumber! Are you using a standard finish blade on your table saw? How many teeth?
Brendan Okeefe The blade technology has come a long way ! Dewalt sells the Saw with a cheap multi purpose blade that works great while it’s sharp. The only disadvantage of that Saw is the limited selection of 8 1/4” Blades. I love the 10” Corded Jobsite Dewalt Table Saw.
Stephen Russell I’m well aware of the cheap Dewalt blades lol. I asked about the tooth count because I usually use a finish blade ie-more teeth/smoother finish. I have used a standard (framing /utility) blade when it was brand new to cut baseboard or 1/ pine. However if you use a lower count blade on a bevel cut or any kind of intricate cut it’ll leave burn marks or tear out/splintering. I figured Richard would be using some speciality blade with his love for MDF lol. Thanks for your input brotha
Haha.. cracked me up when you said you just might leave that door casing off just to irritate people. Really nice job on the corner and thanks for clarifying that laser. I think we need to get you a new camera though... maybe something with focus lock. Really enjoyed this series and appreciate the time you've put into explain all the steps.
Hey. I love your stuff, thankyou! How would you attach the panels to a plaster over masonry wall? I'm considering attaching an mdf backing sheet so I can still use nails.. other option was adhesive and screws... Thanks G
Just found channel and did some binge watching. Question, planning on doing wainscoting on my entry way but on side goes to a hallway and the corner is a bullnose. I don’t want to go around the corner into that hallway. So how would you end that? Any suggestions would be appropriated. Might be a future video for us DIYers!
I'm planning on putting wainscotting up in my house and I have the bullnose corners, so this was very helpful. THANK YOU!

Pretty amazing how you can consistently put up quality videos with substance for years and years lol great props
Thank you for making these great videos. A lot of great information.
An oscillating multi tool is a nifty alternative to a drywall "jab saw"
I hate using drywall saws lol I use that oscillating multi tool for drywall all the time. The carbide blades are best because drywall won't dull carbide
i use it for every application. drywall wood and alluminum.
Was wondering why he used jab saw when he used oscillating tool to cut apart old electrical box
One concern is that an oscillating tool will go through just about anything. Cutting by hand with a drywall saw allows you to feel if you are hitting anything important such as a pipe or a wire
@@mikevandenbosch9081 True. Very true
I’ve learned so much from your channel, I love it. Keep up the awesome work!
Nobody has commented on that magic disappearing pencil. GENIUS! Not going to lose that one.
Amazing precision. You are a true pro.
I love that half moon design on your table saw fence..I have the exact one on mine. Everything looks amazing..
Anyone else see that @VCG hoodie? Love the vid. Rewatching before doing a wainscoting job. You rock dude. 🤘
I loved the way you did that bull nose....great idea...great job!!
Awesome work as always, very detailed explanation 🦘👍

Nice work. I enjoy watching your videos
Watched every minute of this series and I don't even have a house. Lol
Cris Vega time to surprise the landlord with your own wainscotting.
@@peterkiernan1668 lmao
@Cris Vega - You are not alone! I'm 69 and rent, so the odds of me doing wainscoting in the near future is very low. LOL
I would never do this in my house though! It would look so bad! You dont understand how EASY he makes this seem. I can't get a pretty corner on baseboards🙄

The oscillating tool is awesome for cutting drywall btw!!
Those Collins clamps are great, nice touch on the corner detail.
Excelente trabajo, muy profesional. Gracias por la clase.... by the way !
3M "hard to stick" masking tape is a good alternative for holding corner glue ups.

great instructional video as always
I laughed out loud when the spring clamp count went from 3 to 2 dozen between clips. HAHA. Good work, Richard.
Everytime I watch one of your videos I get a serious urge to go buy more tools..
Ray Leroux facts!
That comment probably earned him some new toys from the boys at milwaukee.
Lol
Seriously, I just splurge on that $50 stud finder. A stud finder of all things.

bullnose wrap looks dope. im going to use that one day.
Jury is still out on the bull nose for me. I'm thinking I would have liked a more rounded look than what Richard did.

Brendan Okeefe It looks like the factory 8 1/4”. 24 tooth blade.
Stephen Russell isn’t the 24 tooth a framing blade tho? That’d be a little rough for trim

looking awesome bro.
Do a collab with Insider Carpentry. I see you’ve incorporated some things he does into your work now. Pinch dogs and stud finder
Nice work
Bro! I'm fiending for the next video!
Just found channel and did some binge watching.
Question, planning on doing wainscoting on my entry way but on side goes to a hallway and the corner is a bullnose. I don’t want to go around the corner into that hallway. So how would you end that? Any suggestions would be appropriated. Might be a future video for us DIYers!
Looks good, have you ever thought of using a wall paper in where you would put the hard board?
Sweet!
Lmao "The last left to go on is the door casing maybe!" lol people are going nuts over it.
Hi Richard
Fantastic series. I have learned a couple of new techniques from you. Question, how much do you charge to install wainscoting like this?
I noticed you don't use the Bosch laser measuring tool anymore. I work solo and still find it invaluable. Is there a reason you went back to the tape?
Thanks
The drywall piece you cut out save it. You can make a patch for the box you moved. Using simple scrap wood and few screws
18:56 ooh thats quality workmanship.
I'd hire you if you were local
