    These videos show how a true craftsman’s mind interacts correctly and effectively with his craft. “It just doesn’t get old.” That says so much about his day-to-day thinking. He keeps his learning fresh and ALWAYS looks for better ways to do his craft. A dose of enthusiasm helps too. I love and appreciate this fine example.

    I watched a bunch of your videos about a year ago, and I thought I forgot about all the information I learned until a week ago when my in-laws asked me to help with trim work on a trailer they were selling.
    For my first try, I did well. A little common sense and help from your videos kept me from getting too frustrated.
    APPRECIATE YOU MAN !

    Today I installed crown at my grandmas house for the first time. I used all the same tools and used all your tips. Let’s just say it turned out flawless. Thank you so much for all your help. I hope I see you at a local Home Depot one of these days so I can thank you personally. I’ve been watching your channel for the last 8 months and I’ve seen every one of your videos. I love your home improvement videos because I feel like you went way more in depth and that’s exactly what I needed! At 16:40 I noticed the door behind you still hasn’t been trimmed out yet. Maybe that could be a “how to” for a future video! Really love what you’ve done in your last 3 uploads. Keep up the great work, thank you again! Ps. Like the shirt by the way, haven’t seen you rock that one in a while lol

    The reason I like this tool is it doesn’t rely on your saw being 100% accurate; whereas the Starrett -you usually read the degree and then adjust your saw to the correct angle. Ergo, since you’re duplicating the angle, you’re less likely to introduce errors into the equation.

    • @stephanstys8881
      @stephanstys8881 4 роки тому +5

      Even if your saw is dead nuts, it's always more accurate to scribe instead of measure. This is more or less scribing as opposed to measuring with the Starrett.

    Yeah as below the Festool kapex 120 which has been out years and years now comes with one. All the other companies have now caught up with ideas and development in making their own. The idea was thought out and designed at Festool which is one reason why it can be good to invest in new inivations. The kapex was expensive but its earned my money over the years and it’s mitre finder saved me so much time over the years. Everyone that sees it loves it.

    Quick question on measuring. When ever I try to measure the length of a crown on a slightly rounded corner like the one in the vid. Im always cutting it a little bit at a time until I get it to where it's perfect. It just takes a long ass time. I'm new to the finishing scene. Any tips on measuring so I can be accurate and confident that way I'm not running back and forth to the saw

    I am getting up there in age, but the greatest lesson I ever learned was that knowledge not shared is knowledge lost. Once gone that knowledge is hard to get back. Knowledge and skills passed down to others keeps that knowledge along with those skills alive and flourishing for others to accomplish what seems like the impossible task when creating. Keep the knowledge coming there are even times and old dog can learn newer improvements of the trade.

    I have been a carpenter with my own business. since 1986. I used a (Sliding T-Bevel) and a compass, to find the angle, much like your new-fangled gadget. I whistled very often at work! (Ha Ha). I had a bad accident in 2008, (un related to work) and am no longer able to work, I get a grate deal of enjoyment watching your videos. It brings back allot of great memories, I really miss it. Now my tools mostly sit quiet. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids. BTW, how do you go about explaining to your customers, why your hired man is following you with a camera, rather than holding up the other end of your work etc.?
