Installing an Architrave in Under 14 Minutes

- In this video Tony shows you How To Fit an Architrave
He starts off by measuring the margins on the previously finished architrave and uses those measurements to mark out where the linings will be installed
Next Tony measures out the plinth and begins to make his cuts, then screws in the bottom plinth blocks. The architraves are then measured to the appropriate length and cut to fit each side of the door.
Then Tony nails the architraves flush along the side, its time to glue the the top of the architrave to the sides, securing it with 4 small nails.
Lastly Tony taps in the last few nails along the architrave to secure it and the job is done

good on you for keeping the old school methods alive tony .........OLD SCHOOL IS THE ONLY SCHOOL
Hi Stevie much appreciated can’t beat the old school methods all the best Tony 👍
Learned a lot in 14 minutes. Thanks for thinking of the next trade too.
Great to see old school tradesman like tony making it look easy and second nature
Lovely stuff Tony. Nice to see all different ways it's done! Really nice and tight mitres looking clean. 👌🏼
This is how I was taught back in the day too Tony👊 I always spaced my 1.5" ovals the length of my hammer which divided up nicely on a 6'6" leg👍Thanks for the video bud🤩
Hi Del much appreciated, you are spot on I remember as an apprentice you had to do the mitres by hand and hand plane in if required not allowed to use the chop saw hope you are well all the best Tony 👍
Any videos coming up Del?
@@denty32 Ask, and you shall receive Mark😉
@@BuildWithAE Oh yeah Tony, always had to use the block plane to 'tickle' the mitres to perfection😁
I still do them by hand, my guillotine cuts them perfect but it's too big to take to site. I was always told (and still do) to use 2" brads on architraves. Nice video Tony cheers.
This is pure craftsmanship!
Thanks for this Tony, I’m putting in two new doors and frames in our house in a few weeks time as I’m partitioning off a room to add a large built in wardrobe. Your tips here are invaluable - Thankyou!
Hi Morgan much appreciated glad you enjoyed and found the video informative all the best Tony 👍
Nice to see real wood being used. My joiner said it would take ages to get wood and used mdf for skirting and door frames with big ugly plinths which I hate. Feel like ripping it out now.
You can get softwood skirtings/architraves off the shelf in most builders merchants. Depends on how complex the profile is, some may need to be ordered in. Its a better product but more expensive. Realistically, once its painted you wont notice the difference.
Quality job as always Tony 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Great to get these tips Tony. Many thanks for sharing.
Hi Dave much appreciated all the Tony 👍
Hi Tony. That was very detailed. I definitely pick up some tips. Never seen anyone using a hammer with such finesse. Great video 👍
Great to watch my favourite job in carpentry
Great video !! thanks,very enjoyable !!!
Hi Michael much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
Excellent tutorial, thanks for the great tips.
Hi Much appreciated glad you found the video useful all the best Tony 👍
Great video as usual.
Great video pal, an inspiration
Great looking facings..if you machined them yourself hope they have been moulded to cup inwards.. really important if you don't want big gaps appearing.
Nice and neat, as usual Tony.
Hi Bob much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
Tony in his element 😊
Great! Thanks! Installing skirting video next? 👍
Go on Tony! Brilliant video mate! Gonna be using these tips for when I start my house project in a few months... although I'm not the best with timber 😂 you wanna see me dob wallplate on 😂
Hi Izzy much appreciated, it’s nice when you do your own house to do some other work, I did block work and brickwork at weekends were ever I could but would crash and burn on price 😂 hope you are all well all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE 😂😂 I would be the same with wood mate! Doing great here mate! Hope yourself and the A&E team are all well!
Proper way to do it Tony, Inch and half ovals 👊🏻.
Definitely a dob of PVA on the mitres, rather than mitre mate. 😉
Hi Dan much appreciated can’t beat PVA much better on the mitres all the best Tony 👍
Might be a bit overkill but I biscuit my mitres. Great work on this channel 👊
Hi Tom biscuits are a great shout and I don’t think it’s over kill at all it’s passion to produce the best job ever, next large architrave I’am on that all the best Tony 👍
It looks perfect though! All the houses round me the facings are sometimes 200mm+ and also Pitch pine, total different ballgame to the mdf shit thesedays!
Nooice!
Craftsmanship in action.
Hi Maria much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
Absolutely great to watch you work Tony. What's your hammer of choice for this work?
Hi Stu much appreciated I used my Vaughan 20oz I have used my 10oz before but the pins are normally panel pins I was using Ovals,
Hammers are such a personal thing along as it feels comfortable and an extension of you hand and arm that’s what the old boy used to say to me all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE thanks Tony. It looks to have a lovely weight to it.
Thats exactly how I fit architrave, I use a wedge like in the video, to keep the mitre face nice a flush. And always use pva glue.👍
Hi Paul it’s the only all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Well..yep, that's how I was taught too. Works pretty well unless the wall finish is really off - and when it is I'm usually thinking, "hmmm...if only I had a decent finish nail gun...."
Lots of good detail in this one Tony; sorry for the questions but the only silly question is one is the one that wasn't asked. What screws were used for the bottom plinths here please? Also, if you were using MDF architrave, what would your preferred method to glue the mitre? would you use the Evo Stik wood glue or a two-part mitre product? Thanks for this video.
I personally only use wood glue it’s just that I’am old school I have seen people use both at the same time to stop movement but if you pin top of both edges it doesn’t need the quick glue
Screws used I think were 8gauge no 4 x 21/2 or 3”
@@BuildWithAE Great, thanks for letting me know Tony!
Head first, then legs. Saves a lot of faff 😁
We all have our own way of doing things. So long as the end result is the same, then you're on to a winner 🏆
All the best, John 👷🏻♂️
@@BuildWithAE very true 👍
I always keep a thor soft/hard face assembly hammer at hand for "adjusting" rather than using my estwing. It's always that last tap that dents the face of the moulding 😅
Ovals - we have "Bullets" here in Australia - bullet head nails, no one uses them now, everyone goes for the Pasload. Hey and by the way you should
tell the new tradesmen out there why you hit the point of the nail before you drive it in. I am 69 and pushing 70 and love being on the tools but I must say I'm not the quickest.
👍
What’s going to stop it curling away from the wall when the heating starts going on?
Hi Richard absolutely correct I should of gone in to more detail of understanding timbers but it a fine line between making the video to long and to the point. As we are all know Rich timber quality has massively declined because of cost and produce crap product, tell me when was the last U.K. merchant had high grade red deal in never because they don’t it’s a numbers game, now this timber was specifically machined by a joinery shop and used good grade timber the machinist had machined it correctly which is a must, hopefully this explains the reason it’s all about quality of timber have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE hi Tony, thanks for spending your time to reply. I’ve been a joiner for 19 years so I totally understand where your coming from with the poor quality of timber theses days. Just surprised you wouldn’t put some sort of adhesive just in from the outer edge to help reduce some of the movement on a big architrave. I understand price also comes into big jobs too
Great method toni but why not use a nail gun? Saves time and energy
Hi Rick definitely would us a nail gun but not everyone have one and trying to show the old method as well. All the best Tony 👍
I’ve got an arc to do in my lounge so the timing of this video was great for me, and I don’t have a nail gun so it was good to see it done the way I’ll be doing it
I hope you are still using that pencil sharpener 👍
if its being painted I just run the square the length of the door and mark the whole length
its actually quicker
Hi Conrad great shout all the best Tony 👍
Where’s John gone to these days, he hasn’t been in a video for a while?
Hi unfortunately John has left to work within his family business and come out of the construction industry. Massive loss to the industry because he is a incredible tradesman all the best Tony 👍
Why have you put 2 small pieces wood at the bottom of archetrave??
It a plinth detail as per the house
🪚🔨🚪👍🏻
Almost had a Tommy Walsh vibe about it
Why aren’t you using a finishing nailer?😂😂
Surprised you referred to inches as American terminology, it was here first.
Hi David you are spot on, I jump between both to be fair I’am old enough to remember wish we still had the old system all the best Tony 👍
Fine video apart from the music. Music is just so unnecessary on tutorials
This method wouldn’t work if it’s an existing frame that’s not square
Tony, this always my question .. I see great videos like yours and they always come out great 45 degree cuts both corners perfect… I’m guessing you framed the opening perfectly. But I’ve seen yours or others doing. Pt so perfect and followed the technique and it still doesn’t come out what’s up w this?? Compounded frame position or other?
all that pva smeared over the arc will look garbage if customer wants to stain rather than paint the arc.
Hi Contour you are correct but we washed and then sand all are wood work to take glue and pitch marks off in readiness for the next trade have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
Who use nails this days instead of nail gun
Actually 37% of the Carpenters across the U.K. excluding DIY all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE private work maybe ,site work nail gun n mitre mate, glue up as a frame lift up boosh next ..........
@@contourbikecam3425 100% with nail gun but used spray on wood didn’t work well, but on MDF it’s better but for me me blue wood glue all day long mitres don’t crack year down the line, we should have a Architect challenge, square and wonky out of square frames I put my money on my team 😂 have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
Nice job fella but buy a bloody microphone...😂
