I have learned through trial and error when and when not to use music. My audience is quick to let me know when the music is too loud lol. I’m glad you like the channel. Thanks for watching!
As a person who has a hearing problem, I like that you did not have music or other background noise. Thanks it was a very good video and also your voice was easy to understand.
Great video as everyone else stated! Thank you for teaching people to cope inside corners. When joining the base or even lap siding, I was always taught to use a 30° or 22.5° cut as it joins with less room for error than a 45° joint.
EXCELLENT VIDEO for a beginner ( which I am!) You are a great TEACHER, explaining everything I need to know! THANK YOU. New subscriber now. Interested to see your other videos!👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪💪💪
I am a DIY'er who recently found your channel and have already learned so much! Thank you for straight forward videos. More woman are tackling larger projects and your channel has been helpful for me to gain the confidence to even try!
I've done this a lot (except the return bit at the end) BUT I gotta tell everyone that, this video is probably the most thorough one ever. As in every single word and sentence that you said had a brilliant point. I mean every word. Very well done 👏 Thanks
Yep, spackling is better to use than caulking. When I was in highschool it was suggested to go buy some instead I used the caulking and it just looked so tacky to the owner. Painting the panels first is a great idea.
Great video, very helpful. I have rebuilt two old homes from the subfloors up but still learned a few things from your advice. Always looking for ways to work smarter. Thanks.
Honestly just discovered your channel and it’s very informative and straight to the point. One thing I want to add is you can just use a stud finder to find studs all along your walls instead of having to pull and mark stud location. I find that it speeds up the process also, but other than that, text book information.
Nice work! This gave me a lot of info that i needed. One time-saver idea I saw on another video that you might consider is mitering the straight part of the trim and then stopping the cut before coping the rounded parts.
Your video just popped up on my home page. I’m not even doing a project but watched it any. What a great video. I wish I had this when I was doing a project. You covered everything. Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise.
im a retired carpenter from England, I see a lot of faffing about here . I would be gluing and screwing this onto the wall hand cut mitres too and a coping saw. no need to sand joints as these have glue on them PVA but yes, back wall first also if the external corner is not 90 you need to be scribing it . keep at it. you'll get it! nice presentation. two panel pins in mitres and glued! also.respect "chippy" 😊
Gluing, screwing and hand cut miters? You must be joking. That’s a lot of faffing about to me. A lot of extra work for no incremental benefit. maybe if someone was examining it with a microscope.
So glad to have found your channel. I've got a baseboard project on my 100 year old house soon, the old base was painted 4 or 5 times and is looking rough. Lot of good tips here
A tip for caulking, use both hands. Run your index finger behind the bead of caulk as you move along the wall. You'll get the perfect spread every time. You don't have to worry about applying to much them smearing it on the wall when you run your finger along the top.
Scarf joints will be smoother and harder to see if you place them on top of a crown in the drywall - which is usually over a stud. Also, make sure you don’t nail too low - below the drywall line - or your base will kick in on the bottom. Just FYI.
Here's a tip for anyone doing this. Do not use Alex Plus caulking. You want one a good siliconized caulk. A good budget friendly one that's SUPER flexible and adheres very well is Dynaflex 230.
There’s better trim tutorials. That’s how I feel about your electric panel video though. I upgraded a rental to 200 amp service and required the whole house with pretty much that video and two books
I'm a beginner and found your video the most informative and helpful. I have watched others that did not provide the extra tips or explain/show the coping details. Great job 👍
I had no idea I had to look for studs, but a stud just told me so 🔥😂 I’m assuming all of this applies to chair rail too right? Just saw your squeeze the tip of the caulk trick. Brilliant
I meant to say that when I cope the baseboard, after I cut the angle, I flip the base over and use the miter saw and set it at 15° angle and cut the straight part with the miter saw and only coped the detail profile. It gives you a real straight edge especially on the wider base. Coping a long straight edge it hard especially if you are working with oak etc. Just a little tip I meant to share. I'm sure you know what I meant. Give it a try sometime. 👍🏻
I know exactly what you’re saying! Yes, that is a great method. In fact, we actually do that as well. I could have thrown that in the video. Especially with this tall bass it is a lifesaver. Sounds like a good short video idea. I appreciate that David!
It's so nice doing base and I have only coped inside corners on baseboard. It's so rewarding to see things flow around a room. Doing a finished reveal is also nice. I always glue that little piece on for a little bit and the finish look is always wonderful. I have also taken some sandpaper to round the small cut tip a little. I like the idea to crimp it. I'll have to try it. Thank you for this video and the detail. Have a safe New Year Josh.
It is nice to see the final touches such as trim in the room. The sandpaper trick is a good one! Are usually do 3 1/4” baseboard in the spec housesI build. This 5 1/4 inch was a little more difficult to get perfect but it turned out just fine. Thanks a lot for your input, David!
In another scenario, i use 1 inches nails with a slight angle so it ''grabs'' onto the gypse as well as using pl glue. This way no fear of hitting wires and you can nail strategically.
Was abt to watch yr latest vid and then noticed it was “upcoming”. Upcoming reminds me of “check is in the mail” or “I would gladly pay u on Tuesday for a hamburger today”.
Yeah. I have another trim fitter mark up the premium coatings my customer paid for me to lay down on their walls I’m gonna flip out We all need to respect each other’s work
Dumb electrician here, who thinks he can tackle anything. I had to do a small drywall, baseboard fix because my moms cat peed on it, and I can get through drywall, but I 45 all the trims and she lives in a track home and the inside corner was the ugliest thing I’ve ever witnessed, I was so pissed. Luckily it got covered by a litter box but it wasn’t until later I learned about coupling. This video explains the finer points VERY clearly.
This has to be the most informative video I have ever seen! Straightforward and simple. 👍🏼
Straight forward. No wacky music or corny stuff, and a good guy! I like all of it man!
I try to keep my videos just as you described. Thanks for watching!
This what I like about your channel no loud 📢 music and noise in the background

Coping is the most difficult thing for any homeowner to master however once you get it, your work will look amazing.
Wow. That was much better than the really crappy way I have always done it. Luckily, I was only doing it in my own house.
This is the absolute best tutorial on installing baseboard. Going to check your other videos out to see what else I can learn.
Nobody’s more thorough than you..happy I found this

This is easily the best instructional video out there for trim.

You’re a true professional. Well done tutorial. Thanks
I truly appreciate your comment. Thank you!
except for no safety glasses. hasn't learned that yet to teach.

Thanks for your videos. I'm working on making a home office out of a shed and I've learned a lot.
This should help you a lot in your home office! Thanks for watching!
Gluing joints and outside corners make for long-lasting good looking trim also a grinder works better for a cope but it takes practice.
EXCELLENT video and so easy to understand/follow THANK YOU!

Show us how to do round over corners in Arizona we don’t have straight corners in most new homes only round overs

Stud finder works well
If this isn't the first search result for, "How to install baseboard" then someone is paying money somewhere.
Thanks a lot, Sean! I do put a lot of time to try to make my videos as informative as possible. I hope you found it helpful. Take care!
There’s better trim tutorials.
That’s how I feel about your electric panel video though. I upgraded a rental to 200 amp service and required the whole house with pretty much that video and two books
This is very confusing for the very beginner.
I'm a beginner and found your video the most informative and helpful. I have watched others that did not provide the extra tips or explain/show the coping details. Great job 👍
I’m a beginner and this was super informative and was able to follow and understand everything explained…. And it made sense. Thank you!
Good job easy to understand
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you, Charles!
Josh,your the man 👍
Josh, YOUR expertise is appreciated. YOU'RE the man!
Great work and instruction
I’d check a few spots to make sure studs are on 16 from that initial one. Not always the case
excellent. thanks so much. mega pro.
Thank you, Bill! I hope you found this video helpful. Stay tuned for more to come!

I use 221/2 rather than 45 to join 2 lengths, i think it looks better, less cut line shows on top
Amazing.

Great video
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support! It helps out a lot. Good luck with your project!
Now I can see everything I did wrong when replacing all my baseboards by myself 4 years ago.
Hey Joe! I’m sure you did a fine job.
.
@@TheExcellentLaborer😮😮😮😮😮
Best to have a helper I know it's hard to find
Mud buildup on corners so inside corners cut 44 degrees, outside corners cut 46 degrees, CA glue for tight joints before nailing.
awesome.... thanks 👍
You are awesome man
Perfect
Was abt to watch yr latest vid and then noticed it was “upcoming”. Upcoming reminds me of “check is in the mail” or “I would gladly pay u on Tuesday for a hamburger today”.
Hey Tom! The video will be live 6 PM Eastern standard time December 26. I will be there to live chat!
Very nice 👍🏼
Excellent video as always. Love its detail and camera angles.
The best.
Thanks
Thanks Great videos body
great info. I like the caulk technique too. Straight forward and positive. What about miter cuts at around 44 1/4 degree for inside corners?
Ty
yo, I started my first home build, don’t think you remember my comment, a year ago, thank you a lot
Great info
Instead of marking up your baseboard, put a small piece of blue tape on the floor where your studs are.
Yeah. I have another trim fitter mark up the premium coatings my customer paid for me to lay down on their walls I’m gonna flip out We all need to respect each other’s work
Great video! Would you happen to have one that is for bull nose corners? Thanks!

Grear video
Thoughts on using glue in addition to nailing?
Is there a possibility of a sky light video in he future?
I am bound to do one in the future. I’m not sure when but it is a possibility. Stay tuned!
Just use a magnet to find drywall screws
I always paint my caulk to encapsulate it.
That’s a great idea to give it a perfect luck! Thanks for stopping by. Take care!
great video this upped my game I am transitioning from Painter to Carpenter-Flooring thanks a million for inside hard 2 find info
Whatre ur thoughts on 2p10 on outside miters? For better fit?
Do you paint your base boards before or after installation?? Do you have a video on that??
I painted them before and then I touched up after installation. I hope that helps!
