Finally, not just a how-to but also a detailed explanation of creating a quarter-round return (endcap)! Understanding the concept makes making it so much easier! Thank you.
Massive shout out to the guy in the background. He intruiges me. What is he thinking. Has he just mowed the lawn and examining his work or watching for Birdlife. He is at peace with his thoughts and for me a real legend..
Shouldn't the gardener be mowing the lawn, not watching it grow?

That is the best thing explanation, I have heard. Great job dumbing it down so rookies can comprehend!
Yours is the most clear explanation of this unique trim option. I will say the full fence on your saw or a sacrificial block fence is crucial to keep the trim from vibrating, chewing up the end of the little cap. Also I found it helpful to take the sample trim cut at both the left to right 45 degree cut, and the right to left 45 degree cut, and set them on either side of your saw to make sure your caps fit. The other thing I struggled with is the little caps when cut launch into next week! I set my saw on the tailgate so the caps would fly into the bed of my truck. Also you have to be quick fitting the caps on your quarter round with the CA glue otherwise they will set up on you out of position! Thanks again for the clear diagram and explanation!
Best video I’ve found to help me not get confused! Have tons of cuts like this I should have been able to use but I’m using a miter box and they just don’t line up. Thanks for the simple explanation I drew the same thing you showed and will help a lot! Cat ears absolutely!
This video is great, had to watch it a couple of times for it to sink in but it helped me greatly, thank you
You seriously just said it so I will always remember this! Thank you very much! I've had to find videos every time I decide to try to finish this project.
Great video and easy explanation. Love the cat ears diagram. 😊
You are a god. You explained this perfectly and helped me make the customer happy!
Finally a simple drawing! Thank you so much. I watched like ten videos and still kept cutting them wrong. Thank you for saving my sanity with a simple "Cat Ears" drawing at 2:10! I made a little version and taped it to my miter saw.
THANK YOU!!! The best return video on TH-cam. So I just glue it on, or do I have to nail it?
Glue those end gaps
The backer block is the trick, I see now. Always wondered how you got the cap not to fly away and get dinged. I'm not a carpenter but I have learned enough to do some baseboard work in my house. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you John and good luck
Thanks you saved the day my Pop showed me how to this 45 years ago and I forgot Thanks again!
Best explanation on how to on TH-cam …👌👍 Thanks
Thank you, I like your illustration. I will print it off and tape it to my chopsaw
Happy it helped Tim!
You made that look so easy. This will be a good resource for others learning how to make end caps. Perfect fit. I loved seeing this process and it all coming together. What a beautiful improvement. I hope the Boss and Janet show the finished product when all the furnishings are in place. It looks like that time will be here sooner than later. Thx for sharing this with your audience Rosie. Great Job!
Oooops...."what a beautiful HOME improvement".
Best explanation I have seen. Loved the diagram. Thanks!
Thank you very much for sharing us the show!
It took a little bit to get this straight in my head ,the 1/4 round looks great, glad I ran across your video thanks!
This is the best and quickest explanation
Thanks for showing this Rosie! You never cease to amaze me!❤️🌹🥰
Thank you! Worked great!
First time Trying And It Looked WAYY BETTER ! Thanks For The Video
Thank you thank you thank you thank you a picture is worth 1000 words and it cleared everything up for me.
I took a screenshot of it and printed it and keep it next to my mitre saw. Did I say Thank You?
This video is greatly helpful with a current project. Thank you!
Yes, that is the way it is done! I use a bit of CA (superglue) to hold it in place and a little touch of sanding on the seam and you are done!
Thank you. It made my life a bit easier.
Another way to think about it is that it's the same as an outside corner, but then you cut it really short.
I'm about to install quarter round and this question popped into my head. Very helpful video!
Also known as a "Return"
Great video and explenation!
VERY Nice! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Pretty good video. About to finish my quarter round and this really helps.
Thanks for the tip on making great end caps!
Thanks for sharing 🤩
My intelligent beautiful Rosie, Have a blessed Easter! I am going to the big city to visit Old Town Albuquerque tomorrow, it should be a wonderful holiday ❤
Brilliant! Especially appreciate the diagram.
I finally understand thanks !
Oh my gosh, I'm showing my husband this video. Thank you 🌹
Excellent. Thank you!
Nice presentation. Thank you as it’s just what I needed.
Very nice video, well explained.😀
Hello. Thank you for the video. Would you nail the two pieces together or glue them? Thank you!
That’s very simple thank you 🙏
You did a beautiful job 😉😉😉😉👍👍👍
Looking at the piece of trim you have against the floor. I guess it doesn't matter if the long end is at the top or the bottom so long as you're cutting two pieces like you showed. The pieces would just be switched right? I'm saying that because I have some trim against the wall on the floor and the way I did it was to have the long piece on the top.
"cats ears" I'll never forget it now lol
Works great!
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you
Well done sir
“You can waste a lot of stock trying to make these”. True .
Thank you sir.!
The guys I hired to do my floors must have been frame carpenters. 😂😂😂😂
👍🏼. Perfect 👌
Thank Bud!
Awesome job Rosie. Such talent 😘😘
i didnt notice name of the channel but i was like "damn that sounds like rosie" lol. thanks for helping make my trim work alot easier
How do you attach the end cap? do you nail it through the piece of quarter round it's capping off? Do you nail the end cap into the piece of quarter round it's capping off? Do you nail the end cap into the wall trim at an angle?
A couple dots of caulk can work. It's an extremely lightweight piece, and won't move.
Can you buy those little wedges pre-cut from somewhere?
Hey Rosie, this is an excellent how to video..Awesome job..My first real job as teen was hanging drywall, so i can relate to all this..Have a great Easter..
This video was very helpful. However, I didn't realize that my son had purchased the quarter round compressed wood with a thin laminate that is not symmetrical. The width and height are different, so it totally confused me till I finally realized this. I kept wondering why the end caps didn't fit. You always had to be carefully that you consistently cut either the higher or wider part of this molding. I wonder why they do this, aside from the cost of the compressed wood? I imagine real wood would be more difficult to do this, as it has to be more in a shape of an oval, rather than a circle.
For it to make sense to me, I decided to make a square frame with it so that the slope was either towards the outside or the inside before I realized the logic of it. In order to see the end cap, the slope of the quarter round has to be on the outside of the frame, if this makes any sense to anyone. Of course, the frame would also have to be made with either the wider or taller side. I guess, you would have to decide whether you wanted to molding to be higher or wider. In our case, we needed the wider side face down in order to cover the gaps of the flooring.
Yea that stuff annoying. Like why not just make both sides symmetrical and same width.
Thank you! Now to figure out how much the blade chews off! Practice I suppose!
Always cut to the outside of a line...work from one direction to another
@@RosieMurphy Thanks!
Great detailed info Rosie👍 I miss You😭😭 I love the progress videos but it’s not the same as a Live.I know it’s necessarily though to add video content.🥰🥰
It looks nice but if you cut in angle 31.6 away from the trim door it looks better
I agree we call them dog ears. The only time id use a return on shoe or quarter round is if its the fake plastic or mdf material or the worst is one company sells hollow quarter round that has to have returns open every stopping point.
What about the other side?
Never mind I figured it out from your drawing. Thanks for the upload.
👋🏼👍🏼❤️😌
IMHO ....no need for all that, if using real wood, just partially (starting at 3/4 or just more than half the thickness of the shoe molding) cut the end off at a 45 into the room....no need for an end cap and another joint, looks good and nothing to fall of later.
Yes that is the standard for shoe molding or Q round to just get a 45 nipped in the end looks much cleaner and a stain pen or paint pen to touch up the cut ends makes them look perfect
When he said cats ears I lost it😭
Birds are annoying!
You might need to put the birds in a closet or something. It's so distracting that I stopped the video and will move on. Just a "trick" of the trade: ..."don't let distraction in the room ruin your TH-cam video (ex. Dogs barking, cats walking across your video, birds chirping, wife complaining. 8-)
