Hey Richard I don't know if you will see this but I have been watching your videos for about 3 years now since i started doing carpentry and woodworking, I don't ever comment but your worth it. I really admire your passion for our trade and want you to know that all the hard work you do is noticed and you are one of the few carpenters/youtubers that really drew me into the trade along with Essential Craftsman, Perkins Brothers and a few others. Your videos have come a long way man and have had a major impact on me and I genuinely thank you for all the great tips you have shared and headaches you have saved me from lol. I hope you and You're family are thriving brother🤘. Keep up the good work.
Heck yeah, man. Agreed! Very well said.
So you like being a hack? 😂
Love seeing these higher end period moldings and would love seeing more of the same, you are correct in feeling others possibly 100 years from now wondering who along with just how 😊had produced those beautiful Georgian moldings ! You should be proud of what you’ve left for others to see , beautiful workmanship indeed 👍👍
What is a hack
Don't know if the "hack" comment was in jest, but as an electrician, I can tell you I've seen "HACK" work across the trades. Richard is NOT a hack. All my residential work is in custom homes, multi-million dollar homes. Nobody takes this much time and effort to not only produce quality but also show how it is done. Nobody works hard at junk work. Sometimes the high quality finished product is really simple to achieve. Sometimes it's an engineering mess. Never equate simplicity with quality. Excellent channel/work Richard.
Honestly. The best Carpenters, Fabricators, Inventors, etc. are just better problem solvers.
Amen, I am a high end finish carpenter and I always say the only difference between me and the next guy who has same saws and tools is problem solving and the way I tackle a project. And a few tricks…😉
True story
Dont forget plumbers
Fact
That's part of it, but they also have a huge skill set.... and a strong mechanical aptitude
I really appreciate your generosity in showing us your tricks and how to do what you do. Phenomenal craftsmanship!
definitely have a carpentry kid looking at your videos getting inspired. i’m 17 and plan to take on this career! this is awesome bro thanks 🙏🏽
My advice as a contractor of 3 years.. get on with a home building crew and learn everything you can for 5 years accumulating tools the whole time. Then start your own solo home improvement business.
Richard, you think like I do and I've been in the trade for 40 years. I saw the drill bit coming before you said it! It's nice to see a young man with such a love for the difficult aspects of our carpentry.
I was thinking the same thing but with a drill press.
@@betods1013 And maybe a fixture to hold the molding and a piece of wood with a hole in it to hold the bit in position.
@@billj5645 I predicted the drill bit solution. Honestly, I thought that was obvious. I would have liked to see him execute the cut "drill" and how he supported the workpiece . It would be simple using a drill press/table, but I don't think he has one on his truck lol.
Beautiful building and beautiful molding and trim! I also look at old architecture and marvel at the talent, skill and time needed to create by hand what is difficult to duplicate even with modern tools. You have shown you aren't just a master carpenter, you're also a master craftsman. They made a wise decision when they hired you for this job! 👍👍👍
I love the absolute simple beauty of that Pencil molding. Your's and John's idea for the cope..... that's why you guys make the big bucks! (don't we wish!) Seriously though brother, your solution for the coping was genius. Keep up the great work brother. Praying for you and yours.
When you mentioned having to cope the circle, I imagined how Colin furze uses a hole saw to cut radiuses in round piping for when welding.
Lol I had exactly the same, thinking of that method done with a drill press and a one inch drill somehow
Genius Richard. Very impressive. I would have been messing around with a coping saw forever and still would have gotten it that perfect!!
Your love for, and your interest in the “how’d they do it” will keep beautiful designs going for many years! Thank you, Richard! I grew up working in a Victorian-era hotel and used to marvel at the artistry and design.
Did my first project to install baseboard around an obstacle… followed your instructions from another video and it worked perfectly! Thanks for the videos!
Very nice work on matching the old school trim and mouldings / millworks. Our predecessors really knew Their Craftsmanship and took Pride in the Art of the Trade. As do You Richard, and hopefully Your videos will reach generations to come. Remember this saying Knowledge Horded is Knowledge lost. I for one am glad You are passing that knowledge on.
Richard maybe a younger version of you will watch this film in the future and get inspired, but right now an old me looks at this and gets inspired
It’s funny, as you’re explaining how you’re doing stuff. I’m nodding as if to say well yes, of course. I make myself laugh, because if I had to figure it out without being shown, I’d be shaking my head going “how do I do this?”
Seriously geeked out over this brilliant bit of excellence in carpentry detail. Well done!
Richard, like others that have followed you over the years it’s amazing how much great work you have done through the years! I’m 68, built my own house, cabinets,trim and all the wood. No air nailer was on the place. But you young man are the best I’ve ever seen. Now retired, from renal cancer, chemotherapy, with a lost right kidney. Don’t do work like I did, but just wanted to let you know how good you really are! With all the admiration,great is a blessing god has placed you where he needed you. Ronnie,East Tennessee
I thought it was brilliant on the cope, but I would never have believed it would work with a hand held forstner bit. pretty slick.
Yeah, I was expecting to see a hole saw bit in a drill press.
@Robert Swaine whodathunkit? Is that English?
@Robert Swaine Sharp 1" carving gauge shall also do it.
Cut thin strips of the same board and glue them over a bending form. Keep them in the same order as you cut them from the board. That'll keep the grain direction, color, etc. consistent. THEN route in the profile. Boom. Done.
Dude I have been watching your content since 2016. It’s amazing to see how much you and John have grown in skill through the years. I remember a time when you where almost strictly and mdf carpenter. You and a few other content creators have truly helped me better my skills.
You have always been the best master carpenter on TH-cam
Totally agree!!
You do stunning work and you take good pride in your work. Not many care about the work they do. I say thank you to you sir, your awesome! Congratulations on the Master test!
Young or old, experienced or beginner, your videos are inspiring for all those that have this desire for this level of carpentry !! Thank you for your passion !!
Goes beyond "liking that stuff". I love that stuff. Great video.
That is some really awesome trim details.
We always learn something watching you Richard. This house is amazing, what a honor and privilege for you and your skills to be considered for this job. Walk worthy and stay humble.
I am not exactly the next generation, but I used your videos to do my house, and found out I loved the work. I am about to retire after 26 years active duty and looking into getting into exactly what you're doing. (Maybe not like some of your advanced stuff.. yet) A huge part is thanks to you and your channel.
I'm 32 and spent all of my 20's in a factory. I did random side jobs for years with a carpenter buddy and found out I was pretty good at it. I'm on my 3rd year working for myself as a Trim carpenter. I love it
Wow! Just wow! I love watching you make things happen! 15 year carpenter and still learning. Thank you.
You have an amazing gift and your willingness to share it COOL. My Bride and I love visiting old places and I usually spend my time admiring the craftsmanship and wondering how they did it with, pretty much nothing to work with. Thanks for taking us long for the ride.
Been here since beginning and will be here til the end. Believe me, I'm young finished carpenter for 4 years now and you have gave me the ability to show up 30-40 year old men on site. From accent walls, coffered ceilings, wainscoting, and regular or basic trim. I love the creative and ornate side of interior trim so much that's what got me hooked. Then coming across you, you really gave me the passion I have. So thank you, Richard. Your efforts are definitely working. Make the trades fun again!! @finishedcarpentryTV
The trim package is that house is breath taking. The dentil crown is very unique. I manufactured poplar moldings several years ago. We produced a similar applied dentil block made of poplar. I think we sold them wholesale for around 2.00 per block at the time. It was actually very profitable at the time. I think most of the blocs now are made of urethane or Fypon. This being the case, it’s great that you are making these videos for future generations because you never know what kind of advancements for architecture and installations will be made. Many products are now formed in a mold rather than being carved by true craftsman. The same may hold true for how these products become integrated into building panels.
Man I've loved this little series and geeking out over the trim and details. I think the contractor won the lotto picking yall to sub out for him absolutely top notch.
Absolutely awesome, the only things I had guessed was pushing it up to a jig in a 1” drum sander. You are the best
You have heard this many times, I have no doubt. Congratulations to you and your success. I have been watching your videos for years and have learned many things. A backyard handyman, me, able to impress with excellent installations. Thank you, thank you for the time you invest to show and teach us all with your professional class. Be well.
As a 25 year carpenter your work is outstanding.
Very time consuming.
Nice work. I was a finished interior stair builder for 9 years. The fun of the job was figuring out the details. Early in my career I had to install level rails on a balcony that had tapered round columns. I had to mimic the radius at a taper on two vertical finish painted columns while maintaining level with no bow's on a 24 foot run. I made a jig on sight and used my skil saw blade to make the cuts in the oak railings by clamping the rail horizontal and plowing with the blade vertical at a taperl. The tolerances were near zero and I pulled it off. Theses were high end condos and perfection was demanded.
I am in awe of how much you’re in awe about all of the exquisite trim/moulding in that home! I sure hope y’all get a tour and actually a thank you party for all of the people doing the restoration of home, it would be so awesome to see it all finished and furnished. I think this will be a dream job/opportunity for an interior designer, I envision trips to Europe……I’m so proud of you Richard, and John too.
Careful with that fancy stuff you will never be happy doing plain jane millwork ever again. Brent has taken you to a place of no return haha. Awesome work!
Nerding Out! LOL. You gotta love it when shit comes together, right? Beauty!
Neat idea on the cope. I was thinking you were going to just run the end into a 1” router bit.
That's what I was thinking. I bet he could get an even more precise cope this way.
On the curved skirt, wet the wood and place infront of a heater for long enough to make it warm to touch, then clamp it before installing skirt and it will mold to it. I’ve had to do this before with Scotia molding ( inside corner molding ) not the best way but it will work on something that isn’t a huge curve. I love you videos, I want to start doing this as well. Your a true inspiration to watch! Keep up the amazing work. My brother has the best saying for his trim business. Watkins Brothers Carpentry (We cut corners) is his saying lol
Also using that 1'in forstner to cope that pencil moulding was absolutely genius and will be adding that method to my bag of tricks💣💥🤯
Great video. Seeing older styles being revamped. Instead of something plain to save time and money the way modern houses are made. Great job by you guys. 👍👍
Cool trick ... As a finish Carpenter myself here in east Texas I have had to figure out cuts on the job site to I guess that's what sets us finish carpenters apart from the rest we all have to be taught or figure things out ourselves. In fact the last 2 new houses we have done I had to figure out a similar cut with shoe mold the cabinet shop started putting 1×1-4 flat stock on the edge of the cabinet where it meets the wall so the base buts into it on either side and leaves a space to fill with shoe mold so I figured out the way is to sqare butt one side of shoe and half cut the other at 30% inside corner and back cope it to half wrap the other piece. Y'all keep up the good work and thank you for your service to our country.
Love your passion...you really inspire me with the different projects I do at home. Keep us posted, love that house and all the details it has!! :)
Wow! I love that pencil casing! Its so simple and yet with the shadow it stands out. I definitely want that in my home lol! Thank you for sharing this!
Great video as usual, Richard. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy seeing historical and older homes. Seeing all the custom mouldings, craftsmanship and overall ideas and style. You deserve to be there.
Absolutely amazing Richard. Such an awesome detail. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
That pencil mold is one sexy molding. And yes, us old Americans refuse to use Tik Tok, so re-releasing on TH-cam is not only smart, but wise. Thank you for taking the time to show the asymmetric beauty of the offset pencil detail.
Love it, love your channel, I'm bricklayer by trade (18 years) but I went to collage back in the day to do joinery, my level 3 . Love your passion. 👌
Worked for the national trust here in England. Come across buildings like this. Can’t imagine there are many in America. Huge pleasure working in them though. Great work as always 👍
Richard, above and beyond the mastery of your craft is the dedication and passion. This is the big lesson and the youngsters would do themselves a huge favor by taking note. Top notch work sir, in more ways than one. Thank you for sharing 👍
What an amazing home and original details that have allowed you and John to challenge your skill levels. Well done and can’t wait to see this home completed .👏
Thank you Richard for sharing your skills and knowledge over the years. I've been watching you for a few years now and you've given me the confidence to trim our Victorian period house in the UK. Much love bro!
Gotta say when you first started the tease about the base for the pencil mold, and you mentioned the round dowel intersecting the base, I thought "forstner"? Nerding out is what I was doing when you whipped out the bit and fit the cap. YES!
I'll probably never do any major finished carpentry, but I just love watching your videos!! Keep up the great work!!! Blessings to you and yours!!!
Great job, I love over coming problems like this, finding way to make stuff easier !
What you are talking about is pride….craftsmanship……this is what the customer is paying for . And you have this feeling inside of leaving your talent for others to enjoy .
Hi Richard! I've been a finish carpenter and cabinet maker. I am very impressed with the talent, ingenuity, skill. I respect most of all your modesty and willingness to share with less experienced craftsmen. Keep up the great work and videos. I'm a long time subscriber and thoroughly enjoy your content!
Your attention to detail on the pencil moulding and taking the time to show and explain it is really appreciated. I do millwork drafting/design shop drawings and this reminds me of some of the traditional-style new construction I've worked on in the past. While it's not my style, doing this kind of work has given me an appreciation for it. I've watched a handful of your videos in the past and this one got me to subscribe.
Been watching you for a while and love your stuff, but this house is another level. This stuff is great, lots of good tips and info. Nice work, thanks for sharing. Brent Hull is a good follow too, he’s got lots of good content. You’re the go to source for lots of good practical examples. Between the two of you, there’s so much good finish carpentry content, thanks.
This project is amazing !!! Love the level of architectural detail. Great to see you love of personal growth and excellence !!!
Thank you for the video. I really appreciate your integrity and desire to teach others. I am by no means a finish carpenter (or any kind of carpenter) but am in the process of building a house so I have been looking at many of your videos. Thanks for the help!
I’m a big fan of the pencil molding for a jamb detail. I think this is the first time I’ve noticed this profile used for this purpose. Very nice!
You are my favourite contractor because of your integrity. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼
Congratulations…you really deserve this!!!
Excellent work as always Richard! You are doing the work required to help future generations keep these gifts of the trade alive. May your videos be the educational gems for the kids (or long in the teeth) a hundred years from now as you said, and for today!
As I just subscribed to your channel I had no clue I had about 15 of your videos saved in my toolbox (my carpentry go to and learn videos) I gotta say thanks man you have truly helped me for many years, I’ve learned a ton and never thought say thank you or to hit thumbs up or subscribe. Well I’m subscribed and hittin the thumb button for sure. And again, Thank you.
Wow this is so impressive. Beautiful and the best part is for everything you create you leave something behind to be appreciated by generations to come. I've loved your channel for years..very inspiring.
I've been watching your videos for awhile and I love seeing how you are stepping up your game each time. Your work is absolutely beautiful. I would wish that maybe one day you could travel to Europe and study their craftsmanship. I know there is plenty here but it sure would be an experience.
Amazing video. Can feel your passion and excitement through the screen which is really cool to see
Wonderful work as always. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Very nice! Love to see this craftsmanship and combined with the things Brent explains in his videos make it even more interesting 👌🏼
By the way, regarding the bent cap: here in the Netherlands you see a lot of these bent skirts next to stairs in old houses. There the caps are never separate, the skirt is made from one plank and then the cap is shaped (back in the day with curved planes).
Back in the day carpenters used a drill too. The other way to do it is with multiple cuts and then a 1 inch curved face chisel. Cannot attach a picture. The curved face chisel is also called a gouge.
Cool lil project brother haven’t seen your content in some months but looks like everyhings going good for y’all I’m glad! Have a great one brother.
Love the french molding. I think it is really timeless. I see it in a lot of old homes.
I have pencil moldings in my 1950 bungalow that is actually metal. It was covered by 1980's trim. But, when I uncovered it, I was excited to bring it back.
Really looking forward to the finished walk through!
Very well done Richard! You’re work is wonderful!!
What an amazing house, with EXQUISITE CRAFTSMANSHIP work, done by you and your crew! Excellent job and great vid/content!!!
This made me so happy. I bet you come across all kinds. Well done!
That looked like a great fun cope.... sometimes the easy ones are the best and they seem the most challenging until you realize holy crap a drill will fix this issue
Awesome work and thank you for teaching us how to do carpentry. I'm currently working on renovating my house and my trim looks amazing because of your videos.
Such a great video. Wonderful insights. Really appreciate and learn from all of your videos. Thank you 🙏
God Bless you brother. Keep fighting the good fight. I truly appreciate your content and skills but even more so, I appreciate your humbleness.
Great video bro! Definitely nerding out on the pencil trim details. 👌 nice work.
If you have more of the pencil molding you might save some time and make a jig with something like a 2x4 drilled on a drill press to keep it straight. You could use cordless on the job and the 2x4 will keep you straight. Make a stop on the jig for repeat cuts and no cleanup. The board for the stairs is going to be easier to cut and router the edges. You do good work.
This build has some amazing carpentry details. If you can pay for the materials, architect, and labor, anything is possible!
Cool finishes everywhere! Can't wait to see that fridge, too.
No steam required. Lignin softens with heat alone. Use a heat wrap. Done right, no complicated steam box needed. Seen many videos of home builders in China using electric heat wraps to make stair rail bannisters flexible. It seems like magic.
great of you to speak highly of another trade (the painters).....so often it's the opposite: having to make excuses for shoddy work. What a project!!! I wish to have a client with such interest in detail.
Been a longtime subscriber. Love learning from you and with you along your journey. Thanks for the great content.
That house is awesome, and your work is doing it justice 👍
Amazing attention to detail. Nice work of art you do. Thank you for your training detail.
This job definitely has your name all over it !! Keep up your great quality work
I love your work and your enthusiasm for your craft. Thanks for sharing everything.
Thank you for sharing your passion and craft! So interesting and inspiring!! You never disappoint!
Richard, YOU CAN LAMINATE IT into a bend. Create a matching curve.
Use 1/8" strips.
Glue, bend and clamp over your curved cut of wood. Route the profile.
CA glue it into a straight section. Bondo the joint.
Sand, prime, and paint. I think that is how they did it over the doorway. (Probably no bondo.)
Or they block extruded it from plaster in place.
Awesome work. Always enjoy watching and learning!
Thanks for sharing ! Great work and attention to detail. IMPRESSIVE!
Absolutely Beauty & never seen anything like that pencil molding before when coped, that was something to see.
This whole house is a trim carpenter’s dream, or anyone who truly appreciates the art of a craftsman (or girl)👍🏻
Cheers✌🏻
