Just finished watching Finish Carpentry TV and he said to come here next. Glad I did. This is incredible Craftsmanship. Did not think there was still this level of Skill out there. Refreshing!!!!!!
Great video ! It's rare to find someone with your level of knowledge in historic design and architectural moldings and millwork explaining the why and the how in putting together moldings to enhance the appearance of rooms. Thanks for sharing !
Hello Brent, literally just finished watching you & Richard, commented on his video & came immediately over here. Excited to watch your videos Bus as this type of craftsmanship intrigues me so much. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!! Oh & PLEASE do more tour videos with Richard, PLEASE!!
Since I can't get enough of Finish Carpentry, i was so grateful that Richard shared your very well done site with us. Thank you for carrying on a lost art and caring enough to share it with us!
I am a carpenter and very much appreciate the respect I have gained for architecture through your channel. This video in particular was great. Seeing you put it all together.
After a long day. I've worked out, tended the garden, collected the eggs, taught the children, made my deliveries, written my sermon, entered my bookkeeping, checked my water and nutrients, done the dishes, wash the kids and put them to bed - I love to watch someone talk about classical design components. Thank you for keeping these principles alive.
New sub from me…Richard from FCTV sent me. Love this content would love to see more collabs with you both. Aesthetics AND Craftsmanship = the best content.
Hey Brent, I'm also here from the Finish Carpentry TV channel where you and Richard went through that older home looking at the beautiful trim work there. Would love to see more vids of you guys going through and explaining the craftsmanship. Looking forward to exploring your channel!
Amazing video! You are a true craftsman. Could you paint the backdrop a contrasting color, grey/blue, so the white molding stand out and details are accented.
Awesome video, thank for sharing. You are a master at this. I was wondering if you can do future video on each topic. Slowing thing down for apprentice people like me that having a hard time following all the gaps.
Looking at those miters, I can we why you recruited Richard 😂 You prove don’t need to be the best installer at every detail to be the best builder in the United States, real experts put the right talent in the right places
Thank you for all of this information! I love watching your videos! I have a widow sill that is 24” high in a 9’ room. Would you align the chair rail with the window or raise it up to 28”?
It would depend on what else is happening in the room. My first idea would be to tie it to the sill height but would consider raising it as well. You are trying to harmonize the room. Good luck.
@@BrentHull Watched the video several more times and got it. Looks like you are using ¾”x3-½” beaded casing and WindsorONE WOBB001 back band 1-¾”x7/8” as stacked window stool/apron bumping out the stacked stool/apron by 1” then using those same stacked moldings as chair rail to create a continuous integrated window stool/apron - chair rail. Pure genius-love it.
I really like your channel and your passion for molding and trim I have a trick question How you transition crown molding when an arch window is in the way I want to build a coffers cealing and it will drop my cealing 4 to 6 in When I install crown around the lower ceiling I will run into the top of my arch window trim How I get around the issue that the top of the window arch is in the space where the crown runs Thanks
Thanks. You're right, that is a tricky question. Typically, we'll use a keystone at the top of the arch that dies into the cieling and allows the crown molding to die into the keystone. It is a prettier transition. Good luck.
Hi Brent, I know you're crazy busy but, I just got a new plotter and was wondering if there is any way could send me a file of the full-sized column print? Would love to print it out and hang it in my shop to inspire the guys. That would be so cool. Thanks
I'm doing carpentry for a few years now. Lots of basic trim work. I'd like to learn more about this higher end stuff before i have to do it. Can you recommend any books or videos outside of yours that might accelerate my learning?
Always look to the past, which is the best teacher. My book on historic Rooms from Winterthur is a good start. Traditional American Rooms. Check it out.
At what point on the “dial” do you begin to add in the chair rail, wall paneling, crown, etc. in relation to the door openings? Or are the walls and doors elevated independently of one another? To give an extreme example, could you have a formal door with a header on it and a completely bare wall?
Shouldn't the door and window header heights line up as your first priority? Seems awkward to have a stronger casing on the door and it be shorter in stature than the window.
Traditionally the size of the casing was driven by the size of the opening. The casing should not overwhelm a small door or window, thus it should shrink in size. I think you'd be surprised how often they change in historic houses. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@BrentHull Yes, I had the same observation. Typically new construction has an 84” head height for a 108” ceiling height and an 80” door with window and door heaths the same. For the 31”x62” window you were showing, that would make the window stool and chair rail at 84”-62” = 22” above the floor or low for your 28”-32” chair rail height. So it must be a 120” ceiling with a 96” door and a typical 99” head height. Then the window stool would be 99”-62” = 37” which is too high for the chair rail as shown. So I’m confused as to how to apply what you showed to new construction in 2021.
@@BrentHull Thanks for the reply. I'm just confused. I wasn't so worried about the size of the casing. It just doesn't seem right that the window ht. exceeds the door ht. Even though I am a licensed builder in Fl. you seem to be very versed and studied on these matters and I respect your knowledge. It's just not typ. of what I see.
The 6 panel door represents Christ. The top has the cross and the bottom looks like an open Bible. Jesus said I stand as the door and knock ... I doubt most folks ever notice but history is cool.

Fantastic explanation. Can you elaborate on how moldings were fastened to older walls that were brick and plaster?
Yes, absolutely. Thanks for the idea.

.................Hello, Finish Carpentry TV... Told me to watch your channel or else he'd kill me. I don't want to die sooooo, I'm here.
LOL, the kill order has been removed. Thanks for watching.
Love it, especially the simple window trim and the chair rail aligning with the window stool and apron. What do the window stool and apron consist of?
Thanks for watching. Not sure what you mean by "consist of" . Let me know, Thanks.
@@BrentHull What are the exact moldings for the apron and stool? Is the stool ¾”x3-½” beaded casing and the stool ¾” x 2” stock?

I have a trick question
How you transition crown molding when an arch window is in the way
I want to build a coffers cealing and it will drop my cealing 4 to 6 in
When I install crown around the lower ceiling I will run into the top of my arch window trim
How I get around the issue that the top of the window arch is in the space where the crown runs

Hi Brent, carpenter of 40 years. Don't get much of a chance to do classical trim, but love it. Q. Why do Americans call architrave casing?
Good question. I'm not sure why it changed, maybe as manufacturers standardized trim in the 1880's it was easier to market?? Thanks for watching.
Hi Brent, I know you're crazy busy but, I just got a new plotter and was wondering if there is any way could send me a file of the full-sized column print? Would love to print it out and hang it in my shop to inspire the guys. That would be so cool. Thanks
I don't have the file. My architect friend did it for me. FYI.
I'm doing carpentry for a few years now. Lots of basic trim work. I'd like to learn more about this higher end stuff before i have to do it. Can you recommend any books or videos outside of yours that might accelerate my learning?
Always look to the past, which is the best teacher. My book on historic Rooms from Winterthur is a good start. Traditional American Rooms. Check it out.
Is there a stock moulding to fill that tiny square on the cross headed casing?
Not that I know of, historically it was decorative. It can also be left blank. Thanks
Richard sent me. 👍
Thanks for coming!
Is that style of casing only seen in gerogian style, or does federal share the crossetted casing.
Some of these also show up in Federal houses. There are subtle differences. Panels are different, moldings are bolder. Thanks.
He is a trim god
LOL

Technically yes, but it doesn't have a strong historic precedent.
