  • This trick will blow your mind. I worked in construction for years before I learned this and when I did I wanted to slap myself because this is such a simple and effective way to make a compound cut on a miter in one easy step. I'll probably do a part 2 video to show some other techniques.

    I am a retired Carpenter. I have done just what you showed. I refer to it as a hopper or a reverse Hopper joint. It's good to see you pass on this knowledge to others. Good job keep up the good work.

    Phenomenal. We “take the time” to fit each miter as it truly makes for a professional product. It’s so aggravating knowing how much time is wasted. I never thought about cutting the piece nested. With a set of various thickness Pre-Cut shims, this will save so much time. I truly appreciate the time you take to provide this content. One of the best finish UA-camrs out there. Very grateful.

      Isn’t it crazy how after you see it done and then consider the struggle through the years trying to make compound cuts work...made me want to slap myself when I first learned it.

      Having a stack of shims on hand is a great idea. I was thinking this was a awesome tip, but wondered where I’d find scrap that just happened to be the right thickness, but you basically just need a set of gauge blocks. 🤓👍

    I’m learning so much from you! I’m an old lady who loves diy projects. Everything I’ve learned from you makes so much sense and is easy to understand. I never would’ve thought to put up a nail to hold a long expanse of crown molding- duh! I’m not much for getting up and down a ladder ( especially when no one is around) so I really appreciated the tips to save trips up and down a ladder! Now I can tackle the crown molding by myself without having my daughter come help me. You’re a great teacher!

    Started in finish carpentry in 95, First employer never allowed sanding of casing corners due to the fact we used hard woods (Oak, Cherry and Walnut......I truly miss those days now we get to breathe in MDF) and if you sanded only the corner it looked terrible with stain, so he had us carry different sized gauge blocks to do exactly what you showed in tutorial, awesome tool to have in arsenal of knowledge, now i can put a name to the technique "Rolling The Miter" Awesome Content Bro

    20 years ago I worked with a guy who would have a dime, nickel, and quarter on the side of the chop saw and we would use them stacked in combination as needed to approximate the angle needed to accomplish the roll you show. Having a few pre-cut shims like yours would be good too. Thx-

    Thank-you for this!! So many of the resources I've been able to find so far have been for jambs that are 1/4" proud or less. We inherited a house with some ridiculously proud door jambs that we've been trying to fix but we can't sand down the jambs to be flush with the drywall due to the orientation of the doors. The method you showed gives me hope that we'll be able to get some passable trim up!

    “Nested Position” new term to me and I like it have done the roll cut before. I like using cut up refrigerator magnets as they stick to and are of uniform thickness. Pretty much get to reading 1 count, 2 count, 3 count on stack. Don’t forget your in it to make money every trim carpenter should be running 3 chop saws L,R, 90 slide. Keep it up

  • @CGwerx
    @CGwerx 4 роки тому +7

    This a great tip. I remember when I first figured it out on a job with a few tough spots. Instead of keeping multiple shim strips at different thicknesses, I glued up a stack of thin shims in stair step. It always stayed in my pouches. When I came to a problem I would hold up a scrap of mitered casing, the measurement may change at the overhanging miter tip, and count the steps in the shim. Then I used the same stepped shim at the miter saw to hold the casing at the nested angle. Thanks for all your tips. They have stepped up my game.

    • @coupofmentality3417
      @coupofmentality3417 4 роки тому +1

      I like the idea pf a single gauge, I'm wondering how you hold the stepped shims against the miter guide if for example the jamb side needed lifted, wouldn't the steps hold the trim from flush with the straight guide? It's possible I'm misunderstanding what the shape of the stepped shims actually looks like. In my mind it's somewhat like a stair stringer....
