Man U make this look easy, that’s the sign of a true craftsmen
Thank you so much for these videos! My 60 year old mother and I (33yrs old) were able to put up recessed panel wainscoting in her home ourselves by following your videos. Saved us so much money not having to hire a carpenter. Thank you again
For the wall that is 119, divide it by your 28.75 and you get 4.139. Then select the nearest whole number means using 4 panels.
I originally watched this series 2 years ago and my husband and I are reviewing it because we are wainscoting our powder room. Studying up and planning our dimensions. Thank you for the very detailed explanation on how to do the spacing. 🙏
I appreciate the comments on protecting the floor. When I built my house, the trades used my brand new deck like a workshop and didn't protect my new wood floor after it was installed. Caused lots of complaints by me and lots of repairs by my GC.
Great video , yep trick the eye best tip yet - I do this all the time with math and reveals - fence, decks, flooring , drywall, split the difference to come close as possible to a mirror image or a reveal that tricks you to think it's same. Hard to see a inch or 2 over a span of 10ft etc etc. 👍
"Be the wall, Danny". Excellent information...thank you.
You’re a mega good dude for doing this series-
It just gets better and better. Thanks for showing and explaining the process.
Hey man, you are awesome and I recommend everyone in carpentry to you! I have learn so much from your video's! Keep up the good work!
I had watched to video a few months ago and thought I knew what I was doing until it came time to size my panels. I was having a tough time making my panel sizes work out. Thankfully I was able to re-watch the video and now I'm wainscoting like a pro!! Thanks again for the content! Keep up the good work!
I watch a lot of your videos and just wanted to say thanks. I was overwhelmed by starting my first project in the house and this really helped me. Definitely led me to the starting point.
Well explained. The thought process brings the concept to reality. Your method is how I’ve approached all trim ideas. Balance is key to beauty and letting the odd one be it’s own thing. One has to let the creativity flow.
Thank you Richard for the good videos appreciate all the information and again thank you for sharing
Wow, you are so good at explaining the process and demonstrating the theory! Thank you for taking the time to do so! You are the best!
Richard may I make a suggestion. Get a small white board and use erasable markers for your demos. It will be easier to focus on and make it stand out so that we can see the figures. Your content is great.
Dude you Rock! As a teacher you are suppose to teach so everyone/all your students can understand because obviously the smart ones/experience ones will get it and you achieved that in your video . . . well done.
what you are teaching makes perfect sense. i didnt think about it from your perspective i just always approached it by finding the center and going left and right from there making marks with the stiles as you did makes it fast and easy. Thanks Sifu!!!!!!!
That second line bugged me in your last video and i knew it would come back to haunt you lol. Love your videos man keep it up
Jonathan Garcia yeah I was thinking he could’ve drawn a short line. Didn’t need to be full length lol
I was thinking the same. My OCD was telling me he should draw a squiggly line across the line he didn't need.
Yep- this is exactly how I did my house; the wall determines the panel size. The eye cannot decipher an inch or two changing direction. There’s always an odd wall but mine turned out stunning
Awesome. Always wondered how this was calculated. Pretty simple really, because of the great explanation. The fluid dimensions based on what the eye will tolerate says it all. Thanks
Absolutely incredible video. I didn’t get what you were saying about the shortest wall determining the panels until you did the first large wall. Excellent method. Thank you!
Fully agree with what your saying, you explained it great. Even as a professional joiner you still seak to reassure your self with other joiners.
Awesome video Richard, you give great inspiration for rookie wood workers like myself. We really appreciate the time you take to make these videos.
You definitely make the best videos and easily understood tutorials around. I've been following you for a few years and have watched all your videos multiple times. For me personally, it's all about learning different ways to do job faster and more efficiently. Thanks again! (Elliot from MinneSNOWta)
You are an excellent teacher. Glad to see you putting your PhD to good use!
Thank you again Richard. :-) Your way of explaining makes it simpler. 🙂
This is what i was struggling with as my walls are all diff sizes so thankyou.
I have found that whenever building anything repetitive even if it is not commonly visible (Ex: Wall switch height), pick your worst case scenario and make all others match it. Consistency indicates planning and professionalism!
Was looking through your videos to get an idea for my front door casing/trim and found a link for t-shirts. Whatttt?! Lol. Just placed an order for one. Can’t wait to receive it!
Really like watching you channel, my only critique would be. When your doing the panels and the outlet doesn’t layout in the center get an electrician to cut the drywall put a splice kit and a cut in box to get that thing centered, It looks much cleaner. 👍🏻
I love the look of this type wainscoting but the top of all horizontal pieces can be a huge dust-collector which was a problem in the Desert area I lived most of my life in. You've created another slow, easy-to-follow video. Watching your videos is a calming thing to do...kind of a Carpenter;s Meditation.
Thanks for breaking this down, it's something that is never seen in England so it's great to see how you work out the spacing..great work and vids..thank you.
Which is ironic as it came from here - I'm from the UK too. Great video, again. Look forward to them.
Thank you for doing this series! It is so helpful! I’m planning on doing wainscoting in my dining room but have a air vent next to a outlet. Can wait to see how you work around obstacles! I hope you and your family have a very happy New Year!
I have that exact same situation in my dining room. I’m watching the entire series so hopefully Richard will cover working around obstacles
This is just what I was looking for! I’ve been searching for a video like this for ages! Thank you!!
Nice to see you go over the math I laid out in a comment from the other video. I think seeing it put on the wall will really help people understand. Great job!
Ah... I just asked you about this. LOL... You're way ahead of it, my man. Thanks!
Great video, you explained this very well.
Excellent info. Your explanation on how calculate panel size was done perfectly. Nice work!!!!
had a great time a couple years ago learning wainscoting. couple differences but like ya say its all a design preference at end of day. very true ya eye will pick up what the wall wants ya to know :) very thorough explanation great work!!!
Genius at work. Teaching us to be geniuses too. Thanks man! You really help make it clear.
great informative video, answered a lot of my questions!
Good example of your thought process Richard thank you.
Very well explained Richard thanks. Great series of videos
👌👍 always love watching your videos , great attention to details , and great information , thanks 👊
Wainscot = ocd nightmare. just spent the last 3 hours trying to figure out the spacing in a room, it has 4 doorways! so there are 3 walls that could be starting points, each are a different size of small! to try and match a banquette bench that is also that wainscot style XD
so on youtube now researching some more so feel a bit more sane now watching someone else figuring this out haha
You should be a teacher. You explain everything perfectly!
Sorry, forgot to SMACK the 👍🏻 Button during stream. Liked how you were able to chat w/ us during the vid as well, pretty cool.
Like said, REALLY liked this vid & the SERIES was awesome & full of knowledge, that can help ANYONE; regardless of how long in the biz (cuz, can always learn something new, since everyone has own “techniques”). Have a job coming up in doctors office that will be installing chair rails & wainscoting in 2 diff rooms, & your vids have helped me w/ ideas & tips tricks....
Happy New Year ✌🏼
How do I block these videos? I don't want my wife to see them...I could see some work in my future! In all seriousness...I appreciate you sharing your experience and skills with us all. Thank you.
Appreciate the video series. You make this look fun!
Hi Richard I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm in New Zealand and i don't know if we would ever do wainscot, but am fascinated by what you do. Different countries different styles I guess. The way I divide things up is "In and Over" or (over an in) you measure from the left side of your timber to the left side of your last timber, you take that measurement and divide it up by how much you want ( 3 spaces, 4 spaces etc) what ever that measurement is, is the distance for setting out from left side of timber to left side of timber so on and so on. Not sure if you use that system? But you don't need to subtract timber widths and it doesn't matter what width the timber is as long as it's all the same.
you've mention dealing with obstacles, could you make a demonstration of it? thanks again for your videos
Jonath Champ - Right, I’d like to see how he handles the windows which are off-balance to the wall and how to handle an electrical outlet that doesn’t center in the stile. Great series!
Thanks! Great information. Really enjoying this series.
The panels on the door seem like a good reference width for continuity
Really enjoying this series!
Enjoying the series.
Great video! Thank you! What would you say is an acceptable variance in panel width? + - 5 inches?
I know you smoothed these walls out with drywall mud, but I would like to hear how you do your Masonite panels as well, and the pros and cons.
Thanks for the excellent teachings, it all now makes perfect sense to me, You build it, they will come lol, thanks man. great job.
Killer video as always!
Richard did you get the job in Cali ?
You forgot to mention on the second wall the inside corner stile is ripped down 3/4 of an inch to match the other stile in the corner
Thank you so much, I was trying to figure out the spacing yesterday and for the sake of me I couldn't do it.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
Depending on how detail the job is I will usually get exact measurements of the room and draw it up on Sketch Up. That will give me a material list and an exact scale drawing of the project. That way when I'm at the customers house I just need to layout level lines. And no drawing on the WALLS!! HAHAHA.....
Nice teaching video series!
For a shortcut, go to 10:00 for the math. ;) Thanks for your content!
From doing renos in old houses you learn that it doesn't have to be straight, square, even and level, it just has to look straight, square, even, level and work properly.
Love your wainscot tutorials. Would you have any advice for joints over long runs. I am contemplating a straight run using your method that is about 12m long including a stair case. How would you approach joining the backing boards? Would you make sure to hide the seams behind the uprights? Or have you a better way?
Great video, but u never discussed what to do if the outlet was in the way of the stile?
Call the electrician 🙃
@@rjperkins365 LMFAO
That's because if it is designed properly, that will NEVER happen!
Drone shots, Nice!!!
Thank you for explaining the layout!
"The wall tells you what it wants".
Be one with the wall.
It is the way.
As I wave my hand in front of you, “odd or even panels, it matters not, this is the video you’ve been looking for. Use the carpentry force.”
Be like wall
This series has been great and very timely. I’ve done a fair amount of work around the house but I’m debating if this is a project that is too artistic for me. What is a fair ballpark price to have a pro do a job like this in the Midwest for recessed panels on a 16 x 12 room vs an estimated DIY cost for materials. There’s certainly the pride of doing it myself but also the work of a true craftsman is of value. I’m trying to get a feel for where to make that trade.
Thank you for explaining. Well taught
I wish you would give the links in the description. TH-cam makes it so difficult to find the previous videos
Thank you so much for this series and this video!!
Great video once again, keep up the great work.
Thanks Richard, good stuff!
Thanks Richard. Really appreciate the videos! What about a hallway? Would you try to keep the layout the same on both sides so that the stiles are directly across from each other? Seems like a tricky one with doors and corners occurring at different locations on both sides.
This is what I’m wondering also, in my lounge room I have a door in the middle but it’s off centre, I wonder if I treat it as 2 different walls or accept a weird bit on the end, I’m leaning towards weird bit like he mentioned
80 1/2 - 7= pulls out phone calculator. Lol
I understand being put on the spot by the camera. Just thought it was funny.
But the half would make it confusing. The calculator is the answer.
I'm an accountant and my brain absolutely refuses to do math when I'm on the spot.
I sometimes find myself doing the same then going why did I need to do that? I know the answer. Then I remember that it's probably because my job requires ordering very expensive things for customers that need to be exact and half the time I may do the math in my head but because there is that terrible feeling about risking something coming in wrong I have a habit of relying on the machine to feel certain.
Thank you for uploading this it is very informative and helpfull
Regards
Billy
I’m going to be a carpenter because of you🥳🥳
Great information! Happy new year
You made it easy to figure out, thanks
Very interesting watching !
thanks, nice that you've started making playlist
Awesome. Great information. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I regularly need to work out square sizes on a large sheet of glass, as i do repro stain glass as a job.
We have standard sizes for square and diamond lead.
But often the customer requires a custom sized square or diamond.
So what i do is measure the glass width, divide the square size and it might come back as 2.75 for example.
Then i round that upto 3.
So then i take the glass width and divide by 3, giving me the closest possible number to the custom square size.
So your 80.5 ÷ 29=2.75.
So round that upto 3, 80.5÷3=26.8, round it upto 29inches per panel.
Then mark 29inch from centre of wall outwards, then place the middle of the stile on each mark.
Which gives u 3 equal panel sizes, without the need for subtracting stile widths.
At least thats what i assume. Iam hoping its a quicker way to work things out.
Then on larger walls, after u measure the width, just subtract 29 inches again.
119÷29=4.1
119÷4=29.75, round it upto 29.5 or 30inches for each panel size.
Again mark outward from wall centre, to get 4 equal panels.
As long as the middle of stile is in line with each mark, it should work out nicely.
Of course i could be wrong, or u just prefer ur way, we all have our own ways of doing things.
Awesome series. Would love to do this in my house, but have baseboard heating. Any tips/tricks for dealing with a situation like that?
I have a room with Carpet and existing Base Board, whatz the best way to proceed... Do I remove Base and start over?Your Videos are Amazing, Love the Quality you always Show...
Thank you for not choosing a simple square room, but choosing a room with odd wall layouts that create many challenges.
If you want to do something a bit different, you might want to use 1/2" x 3" (2 1/2" wide) slats for vertical styles, and maybe space them about 16" apart. That too is a good look you might want to do. Then you don't use any moulding in the boxes.
I see there was crown molding in this room. What style would work with batten wainscoting?
Always follow you and learned lots, You are my teacher. Which saw you recommend for skirting, coving/crown moulding. Thanks
How do you prevent a gap between the top rail or chair molding and the wall when the wall isn’t flat? Or how do you fill the gap? When installing crown molding in my home, I had a few shorter walls (about 6 feet) that had a 1/4” gap between the middle of the wall and the pine molding since that short of a piece of pine won’t flex to the curve of the wall like MDF might.
Been looking forward to this video man!
Happy New Years
Any suggestions for a 135 degree inside corner regarding the width of the styles? Thank you for the videos, they have been really helpful.
So the wall with the window will have differently spaced panels? The 2 under the window were determined by the window size - then whatever you decide to the left of the window will be based on what you did for the 4 panel wall?
