Excellent video. I'm getting my house ready for sale and there's several spots where trim is missing and/or needs to be replaced. I've been scouring youtube for good tutorials. This is one of the best. As a 62yr old grandma, I feel much more confident doing the repairs after watching this.
You're the man! Excellent tutorial. I wish the trim installers that worked on my new home build had watched this video. The decorative trim they installed near the middle/perimeter of my dining room walls have such raised bumps that you can see the joints from 12 ft. away!
Amazing! So helpful as I am getting ready to redo baseboard behind an installed toilet. Using painted poplar rather than MDF to not have water damage again! Love your videos! Thank you!
i watched this when it 1st came out to compare to the other instructional videos and this one was the best he did a great job. i didn't use a big roller he had, but a small 3". oh, i didn't see the seem but did see the brush marks he said he doesn't like and i wager that's where the seem is because the area is smoother than then what's around it. you can see it at the 7:57 mark right above the house. well he did challenge us and though it wasn't the straight line we were looking for, i'm pretty certain that's where it is.
great video. question ? so when you are joining the two pieces of baseboards like in the middle not inside or outside corners but just connecting two pieces did you just cut both the ends to 45 degrees. That is what it looks like and add the wood filler so you can't see the seems?
ok, so if you had to cut out a small section with an oscillating tool how would you make that 45 degree bevel? or would it have to be a straight seem if you're not able to take apart both sides?
I also heard you can use tape on the cut so that the finish doesn't chip with most types of wood - take with a grain of salt though no idea what kind of tape or if it actually works. As for the finishing, use a damn putty knife thats as close to the size of the baseboard as possible, use DAP (the blue container with pink stuff inside) and use very light coats, sand with 360 grit, wipe with soft cloth and tape your wall with painters tape then caulk using your finger in one smooth motion (no going back over it if you can avoid) then paint pronto and once done peel tape - this will give you a very clean line & prevent hours of trying to sand something (also scrape your putty knife edge to clean it every few passes) this only works if you don't have stucco walls inside. When doing trim you touch don't roll it, use a high quality brush and floetrol - will get you very smooth or glass like finish - actually you should spend money on 3 things and go as high quality as you can 1. paint brush 2. roller (the frame if you will) & 3. drop sheet 3 1/2. a decent locking extension pole of your choice
Pretty good demo but can see about an inch above the new baseboard where the top of the old baseboard was. Looks like the wall was just painted over. I would've either sand it out and match the orange peel texture of the wall or just put the orange peel on, then paint. Just something I would do.
Woodworkers trick... use both. I use a couple dabs of CA on one side & spray hardener on the other in the center to place and hold the pieces to get perfect alignment, but most of the joint is held with traditional wood glue around the outside edges. The CA will hold the alignment and the wood glue will provide the strength.
Scarf joint looks great! Question... Im thinking about DIY my baseboards on my new Vinyl Plank Flooring. The installer said to use 1/4" spacers for installing the baseboards to allow for expansion. But I noticed you just laid them on the floor planking and nailed them in... Is this a mistake on your part or is the 1/4" space really needed?
Hello. Question? I need to make a 46 degree Bevel cut but my miter saw only does up to 45 degree bevel cuts. My miter will do 46 degree miter cuts however. Any idea on how to do this? I would hate to have to buy a new saw.
Outstanding. This is the only part that’s giving me fits. God help you if you don’t get that set perfectly with that CA glue….you’re f**ked. I’d kind of like to see how that’s fixed. I need a few more seconds of adjustment time. So, maybe I’ll try using the drops on both sides method. I just don’t want it to get messy. Great video!
Hey man great work & detail of explanation. Do you find that Franklin stud finder has been the best to you? Seen it at $52- so just asking. Does it always mark 100%? You da man tho 💯😁👍
Why not lay the trim flat and turn your saw to the 45 degree on the vertical slider. Or does your saw not have that feature. Most do though. I used to do it your way but the blade never cuts down far enough through the trim
I didn't know there were nail guns without an air compressor! Do you recommend the one in this video to do an entire apartment or is it better for small jobs? This was very helpful!! Thank you so much for making this video!
Personally I find the air tools with a small compressor great for small, occasional jobs. I have a lot of battery powered tools as well, but the battery powered tools can get expensive since you're paying for tool+battery. The air powered tools are generally very inexpensive, and I've gotten a lot of use out of an inexpensive brad nailer, and an inexpensive flooring stapler. YMMV.
I use a 18 ga brad nailer by ryobi and I use two 5ah batteries for it it is around 250 in total but works great! I believe it’s more expensive to have a air tool. But yea ryobi has never given me any problems while doing trim moulding
What seem? I don't see no seem! 🤔👻🎃
#missionaccomplished 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
It seems like to me too there is no seam.
I see what you did there... :)
STUD 🤔 Most transgender folks are somewhat unattractive 😂

You are a true craftsman........I made my contractors watch your video. They admitted nobody teaches these techniques and skills. Thank you!
If a trim/finish carpenter doesn't know how to splice two pieces of trim together and make it look good, then he isn't a carpenter by any means.
@MSeroga was about to say the same thing lol!!
It seems seamless! Great techniques!
You're the man! Excellent tutorial. I wish the trim installers that worked on my new home build had watched this video. The decorative trim they installed near the middle/perimeter of my dining room walls have such raised bumps that you can see the joints from 12 ft. away!
I had the same problem from DIY previous owners did. I sanded and repainted, even did wood filler in the bad gaps. Can’t even tell!
Amazing! So helpful as I am getting ready to redo baseboard behind an installed toilet. Using painted poplar rather than MDF to not have water damage again! Love your videos! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I wish you the best on your project! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
Great video. Jobs looks terrific. I had no idea there were so many steps involved .
Video still helping people 2 years later. Thanks!
Beautifully done! I'm going to apply this technique to my unfinished 18' halfway. Thanks for all the tips ❤
Thanks. I screwed up cut my door trim too much. This will help me save it without having to buy more trim.
I'm going to be putting in trim around a few rooms and this vid answered the how's, that were keeping me up nights. Thanks for the tips....great job!
I switched to Diablo five years ago and extremely happy with most of their products.
A lot of good information here. I have rarely done any millwork, but I am saving your video in favorites for future use. Thank you.
Nicely done. Always the professional and paying attention to detail!
Thank you so much my friend 🙏🏽😊👍🏽

Looks great! Some finish carpenters use glued biscuit joints to prevent separation over the long haul.
Thank you for the advice 👍🏽😊
It doesn't seam to be there.
😂😅😂😂
😂😂
Ba dum tis
I see what you did there 😂
Wow. Amazing finishing! Love it.
Thank you for this! Had to replace baseboards from past owner pets. This helps greatly good videos.
Whoa...you good trim man. Thanks for the lesson.
Nice to see that I'm not the only one that finds dust collection bags on miter saws to be less than useless!
Video Starts @2:45
Awesome! This tip is really gonna help me ensure no pieces go to waste.
Thank you 🙏🏽 for watching!
Great work!! Thank you for sharing your trade knowledge
Thank you so much for this very informative video. It was a giant help for me!
I see the seam! It’s right there☝🏻
Excellent video. Thank You very much Sir!
Thank you so much for watching! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Very well. I’m in the process of baseboards diy… Thanks 🙏🏾
I’m glad to help! Please make sure to watch my other baseboard videos on my playlist 👍🏽😊
Thanks! I am remodeling my first room.
Looks great, going to give it a try.
Thank you Greg! 🙏🏽😊
Nicely done! Thanks again for another excellent tutorial video!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Very nice!! I hate coping though so 45 degree inside corner cuts all the way.
Excellent video and instructions! Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for watching!
Thanks for this! New follower.
Superb video for the DIY'er.
This is one of the best videos that I have seen on crown molding. Thank you I have a question. How do you make beveled cuts and what is coping?
Excellent work and very informative. Thank you
Is it possible to use a rubber mallet for the nails or will it damage the boards
Thank You just what I was looking for ...
Mr. Invisible with the baseboards!
🙏🏽😊👍🏽
Thanks for all the info, very well done.
Good job and excellent instruction! Keep up the good videos!
Thanks, That helped me! :)

Nice work, beautiful remodel work.
Thanks for your wonderful video.
Just confirmed to me that there really isn’t a “quick” way to get a good result. Useful - thank you.
Beautiful work!
Wow excellent tutorial
Thanks for these tips!!!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Great video, useful product suggestions
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
ok, so if you had to cut out a small section with an oscillating tool how would you make that 45 degree bevel? or would it have to be a straight seem if you're not able to take apart both sides?
Excellent. New sub
Thank you so much for the love and support! 👍🏽😊
Gorgeous work! Great job :)
Thanks for tips. Tomorrow, I will work on the baseboards. And again thanks for the blade type.
Looks great, thanks.
Nice work!!!
Very nicely done
Wow Great Job dude!! I cant see it either!!
Very helpful tips
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊

Have you ever had issues with the cyanoacrylate glues versus a wood glue long term? I worry that it may crack/split over time
Woodworkers trick... use both. I use a couple dabs of CA on one side & spray hardener on the other in the center to place and hold the pieces to get perfect alignment, but most of the joint is held with traditional wood glue around the outside edges. The CA will hold the alignment and the wood glue will provide the strength.
Great video. Thanks! :)
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Great Tips !!
If you shim under the baseboard, how do you cover it up? Do you run a bead of caulk on the bottom?
Yes you can caulk or use quarter round or shoe molding 👍🏽😊
I've been using drywall compound (the one that's pink and dries white) to fill nail holes and seams. Have you tried that?
Thank you my guy!!
Could this method work to create seamless trim around the perimeter of a picture window?
Good job! I use gorilla glue, it expands to fill any gaps and then cut expanded glue with razor and finish sand.
Scarf joint looks great! Question... Im thinking about DIY my baseboards on my new Vinyl Plank Flooring. The installer said to use 1/4" spacers for installing the baseboards to allow for expansion. But I noticed you just laid them on the floor planking and nailed them in... Is this a mistake on your part or is the 1/4" space really needed?
Are you saying to lift the baseboards off the flooring by 1/4"?
Nice job!
Nice. Don't think I'll do quite that perfectly, but I got the basics I needed! Thanks! And, no, I do NOT see the seam.
nice job, seam was invisible. thx for tips
Thank you! I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Nice job
Thank you so much 😊
What type of roller do you use to get rid of the paint strokes? Foam?
great job!
Thank you so much!
Your Worx 840L or 842L ? Thank you !
Good job.
Thank you!
Video (based on the title) starts at 3:45. Before that is a brief tutorial on how to do a cope joint.
Wow can't find the seam - nice work
Hello. Question?
I need to make a 46 degree Bevel cut but my miter saw only does up to 45 degree bevel cuts. My miter will do 46 degree miter cuts however. Any idea on how to do this? I would hate to have to buy a new saw.
I had no idea that you could use cyanoacrylate w/activator to instantly glue wood. For the right project, it's perfect.
nice job
Perfect!
Outstanding. This is the only part that’s giving me fits. God help you if you don’t get that set perfectly with that CA glue….you’re f**ked. I’d kind of like to see how that’s fixed. I need a few more seconds of adjustment time. So, maybe I’ll try using the drops on both sides method. I just don’t want it to get messy. Great video!
I was able to see where it was. To the untrained eye, there is no way to tell. Nice work as always.
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Good eye!
Beautiful
I can't find the seem. Very nice pro moves and tips
Nice job.
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
Hey man great work & detail of explanation. Do you find that Franklin stud finder has been the best to you? Seen it at $52- so just asking. Does it always mark 100%?

I like to scarf after a joint, maybe why I can't seam to find whatever I seamed to be looking for
bro are you sure your not related to Finish Carpentry TV cause you guys do good work
nice job thank you
Buenísimo, muchas gracias!
When joining two long pieces try a 22.5 instead of 45 it goes together little nicer
outstanding
Thank you so much Julio! 🙏🏽😊
Polyfila outperforms everything else for smoothness and nail fill.
How does one "staple" with a "nail gun"?
I didn't know there were nail guns without an air compressor! Do you recommend the one in this video to do an entire apartment or is it better for small jobs? This was very helpful!! Thank you so much for making this video!
Personally I find the air tools with a small compressor great for small, occasional jobs. I have a lot of battery powered tools as well, but the battery powered tools can get expensive since you're paying for tool+battery.
The air powered tools are generally very inexpensive, and I've gotten a lot of use out of an inexpensive brad nailer, and an inexpensive flooring stapler. YMMV.
I use a 18 ga brad nailer by ryobi and I use two 5ah batteries for it it is around 250 in total but works great! I believe it’s more expensive to have a air tool. But yea ryobi has never given me any problems while doing trim moulding
I hiave all Ryobi nail guns and they are great. I have a pin nailer, 16 gauage, 18 guage, crown stapler and they just came out with a framing nailer!
