This was really helpful! Your thorough explanations & time-saving hacks (using a laser level, cutting a block of pre-measured wood) are brilliant. Thank you!
Great video and very helpful. Using the laser level definitely helped keeping everything level. In addition to the level, I used wooden blocks for spacing and for marking the top and bottom corners for each box . My floor is not close to level, so I had to measure every vertical piece individually. It took longer that way but it turned out great. Have two more walls to complete. Thanks again for taking the time to make and post the video.
@@markymark8472 I’m editing a video on how to cut a return right now. It’ll probably be out in the next couple of weeks. I show the process on a piece of baseboard, but it’s the same for chair rail or any other trim.
It would be helpful if you used a dripless caulk gun, also you should pre-assemble the squares with CA glue and have all of the boxes assembled b4 you install them. Just as note, the pre-assembling of the boxes insures that all the corners are square and tight.
Preassembly is w/ CA glue (& accellerator) is the way to go IMHO. Preassembly is also key if the “frames” will be painted. Paint first, then install. The painter will thank you. If you don’t preassemble, it’s a good idea to make 2 spacers - use one on the vertical / left side & one on the horizontal / top side of each “frame” to ensure that the corners of your “frames” are square. Use the spacers to install all “frames.”
Google wainscoting calculators. There are a bunch of good free ones where you can just type in all of your dimensions and it’ll tell you exactly how big to make your boxes and how far apart to place them.
Great video.... nit picking, but that first cut on the chair rail isn't technically a "scarf" joint, but rather a miter joint. No big. Love the video and thanks.
I would like to know how I can order the same material that you used and other than measurements are the paintings that you saw how long they are by width, you did not mention the measurements, thank you, I hope you can help me.
Great video but lots of technical terms being thrown around (like 'Scarf Joint") would be even better if you explained these as you went along. As a newbie to DIY I had to google everything.
Chair rail is too high, it looks ridiculous. I don't know where people got the idea to do that. It's never 36 inches, and its never 1/3 the height of the room. It's like weird old wives tales spread among the woodworking community or something.
Wainscoting Calculator = genius. I had no idea these existed. Thank you!
Great video man! You gave me the confidence to do them myself!! Thanks 🙏🏽

@@paulcalder2792 really appreciate the feedback!
@@minspiredliving I forgot to mention in my earlier comment that I have subscribed to your channel.
@@minspiredlivingdo you have a video on how to do the corners of the chair rail?

Fantastic! I'm going to use your method. Thank you...
Brilliantly explained..👍
How do you work with different sized walls in making the squares same size and look the same
Is that a nailer 13:24 for concrete or wood. Am asking because I see for concrete is difficult to get
Excellent video! Thank you! Subbed 👍🏻
Nice job I wish I could do this
It’s really not that difficult. I’m sure you can!
It will be painting white, right? If so, will you use satin or semi-gloss paint?
What was the length of your wall when you started the wainscoting? I'm not sure if how to measure how many boxes to cut out for.

He should have centered the outlet inside the box.
Coping? Huh?

Chair rail should be 26" to 32" i have no idea where 36" came from
Chair rail rule of thumb is 1/3 height of the wall.

This is fake wainscoting.
It’s “FainsCoating”
@@Jroberts273 your video title says wainscoting. you can call it anything you want, i call it fake wainscoting.
yea I’m sure 99 percent of the people watching this video knows that already.
