- In this video, we show you how we make your own trim out of MDF EASY! We are making craftsman style trim with only a few tools.
it doesn't matter if you are using the roman ogee bit or like in this video we use a chamfer bit to put a little style on it.
We will show you later on in the series how to install craftsman style trim, how to paint trim, and doorways. We will
be framing out our windows and doors with this trim.
Welcome to Cheap and Fancy!
Watch us turn our house in Arkansas into a duplex! We are doing our walkthrough and laying out our plan. I am going to be making DIY videos on how to repair your house from floor to ceiling. This is a cosmetic remodel on a 2400 sq ft house, going from a 3/2 to a duplex 3/1 - 1/1.
We will be showing you how to remove wallpaper, wall prep, drywall tips, texture, paint, rebuild cabinets, simple electrical, plumbing, finish carpentry, how to paint a fireplace, install countertops and just make an ugly house great again!
I do everything on this house with the help of my 12-year-old daughter, she's the brains behind the videos. I just do the grunt work.
We have 2 remodelings going on at the same time, one in Indiana and one here in Arkansas. The one in Indiana is an 1860 farm house that is a complete gut and remodel job. We will be making some videos on that too because we have been working hard on that house for 2 years.
We hope you enjoy the videos this is something I am doing to make a permanent record of our remodels.
Please subscribe and I hope the videos help you in your DIY efforts.

I just purchased my first home...fir my pup and I. You are not kidding about the price of trim/baseboards being pretty high!! This by far has been the BEST video I've seen...that slide is simple...Yet brilliant!! Thank You SO much. I'm 5'6" not weak by any means, 🤓 though pushing that type of wood thru the table saw is something I haven't even thought of!?!? Thanks Again! God Bless!
Coming from someone that bought a house 2 years ago and thought it was a good idea to tear every room baseboard / door trim and trim and kitchen apart’
Let me give u advice! It’s not like on tv there’s 100 of them and 1 of u’
Do 1 room at a time’ I promise u u will thank me’
Also coming from me thinking it would be a good idea to “save money”
I made all my door casing and base boards’
I bought many many sheets of 1/2”osb’
Listen to me! JUST BUY IT!
making it is so much more than u ever think’
The saw dust alone and mess it makes from ripping 10 plus sheets is a mess! Took 3 hours to clean that up and it goes everywhere like dust!
2nd u have to sand the cut sides so there’s no lines’
Add 4 hours for that’
Priming!
#1 mistake made with mdf
YOU CAN NOT REPEAT CAN NOT use water based primer!
It will make your boards swell like a sponge’
U have to use oil based primer!
That will take 2-3 coats trust me it sucks up so much and took me about 4 gallons total’ for oil based Killz primer it was $50 a gallon!
Add about 6 hours total for all coats also roller no matter how “smooth” it claims will leave orange peel texture spray gun is key if u do it!
Water based is 20 a gal don’t fn do it!
Has to be oil based!
Now after u prime u have to sand again smooth then wipe off’
Now all in you’re looking at a good 20 hours and I only had to do 1500 sq foot’
Trust me bro’ trying to help!
Yes primed trim is expensive and while it seems like u will save money I promise u won’t’ by the time u buy that primer u won’t save’
Cheapest oil primer is like $30 a gal and cheap primer/ cheap paint = shit results every time!
Just buy it!
U go from the store go home cut it and install and be done!
Cut other costs like painting bedroom doors instead of replacing’
I give u my word u will thank me for said advice if u fail to listen to me and do it’
LoL hands down I would have bought it if I could do it again’
I’ve leaned from all my mistakes I’ve remodeled my entire house and it took 2 years and guess what I’m still not done! 🤣 1 room at a time my friend! Hoping my advice helps at least 1 person!
Also think of the area u r in’
If average / med income area don’t put 100k in “upgrades” it will not increase your homes value’
U would be making it nicer than the other houses’ but at the end of the day “hypothetically” said person is still in a med income neighborhood and that’s where prices stay’
I learned that the hard way!
Some things increase value yes but don’t “over update things”
Take care bro hope that helps
But trust me trust me trust me!
Go buy that trim don’t do it!
Man!! I LOVE the GUIDE SLIDE you threw together!!
I had to watch this again..this going to be a tremendous help...my first home..can't wait.
Awesome video
Thank you! P2 coming in a day or 2
nicely done.
i went to get some board last week and good god, 22$ for 8 feet -_-
seeing you use circular saw and a router probably gave me the kick in the ass i needed to get a router, didn't think they were that usefull until i used one at work (almost on every craft requiring wood we use it)
Very nice, thanks
Spray or roll the 1st or 2 coats primer on the face before cutting when its easier.
well done!
I need that saw! Jig is prefect! Watched another guy use table saw method, yeah not gonna work like that for me. Feather boards all setup in a shop the size of my house, really nice but I’m no pro. Your method is great and I might be able to do it, just need a better saw.
Question pls: So overall how did you account for the waste from blade cut? Always think I have this right until that last piece ends up 1/4 in short. Any tips tricks appreciated.
Ur like a skinnier cuter version of that guy from knocked up.
I have never used MDF,,is it hard to cut with a tablesaw,,store bought trim is stupid high,,i remodeled one 14/12 bedroom ,,store bought trim was going to be almost 200,,,i ripped some oak boards i had and used router to dress one edge and happy with results,,im going tot ry the mdf on my next room which is den ,,,
Nice
If your big box store has a panel cutter I would get them to cut the sheet in half or thirds to make the job easier. I wouldn't have them cut it up into strips....because they'll start charging you for each cut. Which kinda defeats the purpose. I.e. saving us money.
Better build you some saw horses nxt!
Me writing down kurf to say it at home Depot 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ZZ Top makes baseboard
How did you make the router do a 45 degree cut? Does the router allow you to go 45?
Use a 45 degree router bit
can I use particle board Instead of mdf? for baseboard trim
Year late could u …. Anything’s possible however NO NO NO 😂
Particle board won’t paint and look okay also soaks up water
Mdf also soaks up water that’s why u need to seal it with OIL based primer’
If I can share 1 thing with u or anyone reading….
When u see particle board at the store walk away!
LoL that stuff isn’t even good for a shelf’ it’s garbage’
The cut edge will look horrible. And to fix it you'll have to put wood filler on the cut edge and sand it. Miser.....y.
im new i would of clamped the board to the table. It moved , and a few things can go wrong . Always clamp . Seen that in my last 5 vids i watched . Safety a must glasses, ears , clamps and test board first
Stodoys is a good solution for every woodworker.
