    First time TRIMMING OUT A WINDOW?! WHAT. We are starting to get back into the swing of things after a week long sickness got us down. Determined to get a room done, we tackle a new project that we think went better than we thought it would.

We don't know what she is storing away in her 'hard-drive', but river trips like that will surely be there somewhere, to be re-called and re-played sometime in the future. What a good life!

    The ceiling fan room would look great smooth finish. Just mix some topping compound with a coffee cup full of water and mix them together slowly you don't want it too runny. Then make a 12inch wide pass on each side of the tape with a 12inch spaclin trowel. Be sure to sight down the blade to find the bow in the blade you don't want a rocking horse rocking on your sheet rock/drywall so turn the trowel over and write up on the side facing out. Go over it 2 times make sure you don't have a lot of build up, you don't want to spend weeks sanding. So thin coats and let it dry over night. If you have little spots missed go over those spots. Once dry make a primer coat. Take some cheap flat white paint never use gloss on the ceiling because it shows every blemish. After 4 coats of paint the ceiling could be painted with gloss but as a rule for myself save gloss for furniture. Now take some paint say half a gallon and 3 gallons of topping compound or make a smaller mixture of latex paint compound and if necessary thin with water while mixing. You want it a little thicker than paint and the paint in the mudd will ensure one coat coverage. Use a roller to apply.

  • @richardjolley6623
    @richardjolley6623 Рік тому +1

    Window looks nice...the reveal around the casing and frame helps out for caulking, it gives you a good place to run a bead of caulk. One other thing yall might consider is centering the frame in the window, where there is the same amount of reveal left on the top and the two sides...
    The water looks mighty inviting and probably growing by the feet...all the swamps and creeks around here are overflowing....lots and lots of water and wind for the last few days...

    For true cuts on your table saw you need to upgrade your rip fence. When I upgraded my 1951 sears table saw I added a router table to the side of the table saw to give me more control for cutting larger panels. I bought my rip fence at Home Depot. That was at least a decade ago. Now days with the internet it will be easy to find a rip fence upgrade kit for you table saw. If you’ve that good of a cabinet maker with your new rip fence upgrade you’ll be a amazing one. With your new shop build you can have a first class wood shop in no time. You three have given me many hour of enjoyment, thank you so much!

    Having the guide fence not stay square is not uncommon. I take a speed square and make sure it is square to the table then lock it down with a clamp. A rag with a little Crisco on it makes the table and fence slide smoother after the rag is applied to it. A good push block is a great idea to have to save your fingers.

  • @willholt2254
    @willholt2254 Рік тому

    If I could offer a tip for the table saw, just from my view you aren't keeping enough pressure against the fence and the table. If you get your left hand in a position of support to do that (or a featherboard if you prefer) that will give you much better results. Also, blade quality is a huge piece, the Skil will do better with a little upgrade to the blade, but like I said I think hand position/material support is the first variable to address.
    Love your channel 🙂
