I so appreciate the format you use- being the "guide on the side" as an educator, rather than "the sage on the stage" or 'edu-tainment'. This is exactly the information I needed to feel competent to attempt this project. Well done, both teacher and student!
By far one of the best wainscot videos out there. Thanks for providing detail on corners, edges and finishing up cap molding w/ 30 degree angle cut. Most videos don’t show the finish details and it’s the finish details that make the final end product look great or bad homeowner DIY.
Wow, that's so great to hear! My goal is to teach and inspire others to take on projects, so it makes me happy to know you're going to put you new knowledge to use. Thanks for sharing that... you made my day! Thank you for subscribing too. Scott
I love to hear when our videos help viewers like you tackle a project! Thanks for sharing that. If you have any questions, post a comment and I will reply. Cheers. Scott
I loved the video, calmness of your coaching through the project. I actually think we could undertake this project. I wish their was a pro that was located near is in Virginia to help.
You can do it! If you would like some coaching via video, we offer an advice service for 1-on-1 coaching. Here's a link to our plans and advice services - woodenitbenice.ca/collections/woodworking-advice-sessions
Wouldn't their need to be a gap between the wainscot panel and the 1/4" trim board you used above it for the tongue of astragal moulding to fit? Or did you just use half-round moulding? I wish you had shown more of the installation like how you glued and/or nailed the "astragal" moulding strip between the wainscot and 1/4" trim piece.
I’m in the planning stage of doing this in my hallway. I’m stumped on how to finish the outside corner of the beginning of the run, where the panel would meet an entry way. There’s no trim or moulding around this entryway. Any recommendations?
A corner mould is the easiest way to deal with it, but I don't like the aesthetic. You can use a medium size moulding to install at the corner and run the wainscoting up to meet it. You will need to fill in the slight gap at the corner with drywall mud, but it's a much cleaner look. I hope that helps. If you'd like to look at this together via Zoom, here's how you can order an advice session. woodenitbenice.ca/collections/woodworking-advice-sessions
it looks like you cut a 1/4" thick board to fill the space between the two top moldings to create the same depth and thickness of the wainscot panel right? Ok, let's say I wanted to do the same on a wall thats about 20' long. How would I best hide the seam where the 1/4" thick boards join? Just make the seam in line with a bead seam from the paneling below it? Wood fill the seam and sand before paint? Thanks
The proper technique is to bevel the ends of the boards you want to join end to end. The bevel is a 45 degree cut which gives you a glue surface to attach the 2 pieces while disguising the joint a best as possible. I hope that helps
Scott. Thank you for the tutorial. I'd like to install this in my bathroom. Is this material ok to use in a high moisture area? Can you recommend a quality brand?
Yes, that's good advice. In this case, the MDF material is soft enough that it doesn't tear out like plywood. When cutting things like countertops, that tip is a must to avoid chipping the material. Thanks for your comment.
Yeah, Scott did a top notch job putting together this video. This was like watching a TV show. Well done!!
Thanks Joey, I appreciate that! Scott
Scott, I think you’re ready for Prime Time. This episode was well written, directed and produced.
Wow, thanks for the complement Fiat! I appreciate you taking the time to make a comment.
Hear, hear!

The astral mould is attached to the surface of the 1/4” top band.
nice video, not sure how people mark it down.
Thanks. I appreciate that! Scott

It would be ok in a 2-piece bathroom but I wouldn't install it in a bathroom where you have a shower or tub. Tile is best for that. Scott
Hello! What is the wooden plank you put between the cap rail and skinny wood? (I dont know how to pronounce it lol )
It's just a strip of 1/4 inch plywood ripped down to narrow strips.
What about
walls whit round corner???
Sorry, I don't understand your question. Can you tell me more about what you're trying to do? Scott
Hi! Im interested in working with u as an apprentice.
I like your enthusiasm, but I'm not hiring for my business right now. Do you live in the GTA? Scott
Surprised you cut the Bead board from the front! Every Carpenter I know says "Cut it from the back to avoid possible chipping on the front."
Yes, that's good advice. In this case, the MDF material is soft enough that it doesn't tear out like plywood. When cutting things like countertops, that tip is a must to avoid chipping the material. Thanks for your comment.
I literally stopped watching after spackle knife and flat head screw driver..
