Brent is leading a mission for people to think about quality when building or renovating their houses. A goal that I wholeheartedly support. Quality doesn’t have to be expensive but, even if it is, all it might mean is renovating one room at a time rather than two - but that quality will reward you every time you look at it. Every video of Brent’s that I watch is thought provoking - it doesn’t all suit what we have in the UK, but it is about making me think. I’ve watched virtually all the catalogue of Finish Carpentry; always impressed by the care and attention being put into each job. These two seem to have the same attitude towards quality.
I had no idea they custom cut the knives for the different trim profiles. Holy cow that's a lot of work! There's so much value in that library that only comes with time. Love that you're going down this woodworking path more, and thanks for showing us Brent's shop.
Yup!! I needed unique crown molding that I couldn't find ANYWHERE! A local millwork company made custom shaper knives and $500 later I had 12' of custom crown
I worked somewhere years ago where they would make a custom knife, just for a couple of meters of something to match what was in the house. They would then just throw the knives into the scrap metal bin as they wouldn't be any good for anything else.
That was fun, I’ve been in the carpentry industry for 27 years, first 8 were trimming spec homes, then 4 years trimming custom homes, (pre MDF moldings) then the last 15 years being in a custom cabinetry/furniture shop, it has been a fun ride, but I absolutely love the early 1900’s machinery and methods of fabrication, yes CNC (which I now program and run) has speed things up making the mundane projects profitable but it has taken a lot out of what was enjoyable in construction because we need to be affordable to stay in the game to eat! Thanks for the tour.
Awesome tour with excellent content. Love watching Brent’s channel for historical/ how it was done so you get it right in new work aspect. Richard’s channel shows fantastic craftsmanship and skill creating beautifully finished spaces.
Fascinating. Kind of reminds me of that California shop...but a "working" version of it. I don't remember seeing half the saw dust/grime as in this shop. But to cut your own cutters is on a next level!
Hey Brent - Nice video it is real great to see that you are giving Richard all this knowledge and to help him along to his next step, a win win for all concerned. A video detailing the refurbishment of those individual baulisters would be great!
Yes you could easily hang about for hours, thank you for sharing what an awesome shop, but make sure you don’t feel inadequate your shop/garage is awesome too!
@finish carpentry tv THANKS Rich and Brent for sharing your shops (ur baby’s, lol) w/ us. Regardless of size, they are very special, unique, and serve the purpose that you each NEED right now. So cool, so see & compare what it takes to go from beginning small garage shop (which Rich, is freakin awesome w/ the machines you chose, which was smart of you imo) to Brent’s production shop and knowing you would be wise to always have REDUNDANCY……not just for speed of production, but also for those times when a tool is down for maintenance or other reason, as gotta fill those orders, and your still able to ; even if not 100%. Appreciate taking the time to bring us along and show what ya both “got”. Cheers to you both, along w/ continuing success 😊
Those machines🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤, Oliver equipment Top quality American Made piece of hardware for its time . Looking at some to restore awhile back but right now I’m thinking about picking up a Williams & Hussey Model W7S planer moulder with a 3hp 1 phase because you can make it portable . Really liked the content 👍👍👍👍👈👈👈👈👈👍👍
Another awesome video! Thank you! Question to Richard or anyone willing. Pre primed MDF wainscoting I will soon be installing. I noticed in another home, the spots on the MDF trim where the trim nails were filled, swelled and raised up and doesn’t look very good. Is there something specific/product you all do/use to prevent that?
Ha! My shop (garage and driveway) doesn't have dust collection. I just cleaned a portion of the shop (driveway) and mulched the neighbor's planter by means of a cordless leaf blower.
I used to build custom wood windows out of VG fir, very high end so I get the whole custom thing. I loved working in the shop but like this Co we had specific tools geared towards windows but we only had one table saw.
Wow, anyone else feel like a kid in a candy shop? It's amazing to see the businesses they have built. Wishing them continued success. They certainly don't need luck with their knowledge.
I have the same Oliver 299d planer, mine has an itch head, the way he described the grinding I guess his has a straight knife head, I believe for the size of them they're the finest planers ever made. I also saw he had a Buss planer, which Is probably a little better than the Oliver but its the size of a car, also a fabulous machine.
Once or twice a year I run into a need to get some trim moulding matched of a profile that isn't found easily. There's a mill around the corner from me that I'll drop a piece off at. Then they mill it for me. Handy option to have. Cool video.
Some big old dinosaurs that get the job done and will last forever… I like the big sheet table saw… my next purchase is a CNC for doing wood designs in custom cabinets …
Those are some great old machines he has. I would have liked to have known how he fixes them when they break down. Does he have to call someone? Does he have a full-time repair person on staff? Is there a factory rep who comes out?
Probably neither. They use it all the time. So, they probably have a very good idea of what the components are and how to troubleshoot what is going wrong/needs fixing when they breakdown. Plus, maintenance schedules help. Brent strikes me as the type of guy who him and his team would be on top of those details.
Yeah I tried making my contractor business bigger over time and hated all the stress with a passion now I just do what I can handle and enjoy plenty of days off and have plenty of money for just me which I don't have alot of excess or payments but good luck to people that try and want to live that stressful of a life and miss all the good shit in life.

Give a man real woodworking tools and he won't stop!! I'm still stoked you are getting into more of this side.
I had no idea they custom cut the knives for the different trim profiles. Holy cow that's a lot of work! There's so much value in that library that only comes with time. Love that you're going down this woodworking path more, and thanks for showing us Brent's shop.
Yup!! I needed unique crown molding that I couldn't find ANYWHERE! A local millwork company made custom shaper knives and $500 later I had 12' of custom crown
Yep it doesn't really cost that much. Look up the companies that make the machines and send them a cad file. Few hundred bucks no matter how complex
I worked somewhere years ago where they would make a custom knife, just for a couple of meters of something to match what was in the house. They would then just throw the knives into the scrap metal bin as they wouldn't be any good for anything else.
One of the best things seen in the video - Made With Pride in the USA! Semper Fi Richard

Thanks for the tour.
I really love seeing these joint videos! Thanks!
Brent Hull really seems like a down to earth level headed person!!
Mill work shops are interesting.
This collaboration was very informative. I am a small shop woodworker and always trying to find ways to maximize my space. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking us along. I never saw a curved molding machine before so I picked up something.
Excellent tour................... Brent is a woodworker, for sure !!.............Thanks for sharing !!
I was hoping you'd get into some more stuff like this. Windsor one is nice but custom is way better. Good content I'd like to see more.
You know you're passionate about what you do that after so many years of doing it you still get all giddy talking about the tools and process.
Two great craftsmen, really glad to have you in North Texas inspiring everybody to learn, share, and up their game!
ok, so YOU had a woody on , what a place.

Awesome. He seems like a cool guy. Appreciate him letting us see his shop

Nice video!
I can see Richard in the years to come grow and bloom into something equally as impressive as this man has become.
I luv when these 2 guys get together they should do more videos together....
Great tour. Thanks.
Glad you're doing more videos with Brent

Wow, two of my most admired craftsman on one video, was a pleasure to watch! Thanks for sharing!
Best videos sirr tanks for all information 🙏👍👍🇮🇩🇮🇩
Really informative
Great video !
Awesome.... research and always looking for ways to improve your craft. Pretty cool to see his operation and great for him to share that with you.
Wow I felt like a kid in a sweet shop… love it 👍👍👍👍🪚
Well made video Richard. Love your new style series.
What a treat. Modern craftsmanship at it's best
Enjoyed !

Who else could smell wood when they were watching this? 🤣 I could literally smell it on my skin lol. Great Vid!

Great duo.
Love seeing the Oliver machines and old heavy metal.
Thx guys, enjoyed the tour.
Thanks for bringing us along guys 👍
Just imagine if you had a 48" wide planer or 48" two sided sander for the door project.
Sweet operation!
Another awesome video! Thank you! Question to Richard or anyone willing. Pre primed MDF wainscoting I will soon be installing. I noticed in another home, the spots on the MDF trim where the trim nails were filled, swelled and raised up and doesn’t look very good. Is there something specific/product you all do/use to prevent that?
LOVED IT 🤓🇺🇸👍
Great tour - it really highlights your passion for this. Hope you have the chance to do more custom work.
Richard needs to do a collaboration video with RR Builders and build a huge post frame shop.
Ha! My shop (garage and driveway) doesn't have dust collection. I just cleaned a portion of the shop (driveway) and mulched the neighbor's planter by means of a cordless leaf blower.
Great video, Richard thanks
Excellent tour
WOW!
Just to be able to walk around in that place, would be awe inspiring.
Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
This was really cool to see.
Wow, nice Richard!
Crazy cool..... thanx guys
Who edited your video? Looks great!
The third video today I watched that had audio problems John Malecki was another one. I think there's a flaw-a-woodworking-video conspiracy.
NERDS! I love it!
I'm so jealous, I would love a personal tour of his shop and to be able to pick his brain.
I used to build custom wood windows out of VG fir, very high end so I get the whole custom thing. I loved working in the shop but like this Co we had specific tools geared towards windows but we only had one table saw.
I am drooling like my dog right now.
Thumbs waaay up! Very very cool!
This made me miss my Dad. Thank you!
Nice tour reminds me of our vocational high school shop. Awesomeness!!!
Love the way he says We!!
Wow, anyone else feel like a kid in a candy shop? It's amazing to see the businesses they have built. Wishing them continued success. They certainly don't need luck with their knowledge.
Se me van los ojos , gracias por el video
I have the same Oliver 299d planer, mine has an itch head, the way he described the grinding I guess his has a straight knife head, I believe for the size of them they're the finest planers ever made. I also saw he had a Buss planer, which Is probably a little better than the Oliver but its the size of a car, also a fabulous machine.
Pretty cool shop
🇺🇸☕️
Bro, your videographer deserves a raise
Going to need more videos. 1 per week? Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up! Just kidding man, love the channel.
@2:00 LOL Richard got tickled
That was great 👍🏼
Impressive set up.
Lol I like how you made yourself look like a complete goofball in the thumbnail and while asking questions haha your humor is great
Once or twice a year I run into a need to get some trim moulding matched of a profile that isn't found easily. There's a mill around the corner from me that I'll drop a piece off at. Then they mill it for me. Handy option to have.
Cool video.
This video quality is great
That’s super cool! Good looking shop! Man keep up the good videos!!
Some big old dinosaurs that get the job done and will last forever… I like the big sheet table saw… my next purchase is a CNC for doing wood designs in custom cabinets …
Quite the operation.
Richard does he have a UA-cam channel ?
3 hours to make the special cutters, 6 days to find them after you put them away!
Great place to work.
That's what I call a SHOP!
Those are some great old machines he has. I would have liked to have known how he fixes them when they break down. Does he have to call someone? Does he have a full-time repair person on staff? Is there a factory rep who comes out?

“Welcome back to the channel” sounds a bit flat for a welcoming intro..instead try “Welcome back to Finish Carpentry”just a thought…btw Great content
Soundtrack?
Can you please make a boogee poker table?
Good job on the video and editing!
Brent looks like Bruce Greenwood
I want to make a UA-cam channel just so Brent hull comes on mine. Legend
Very cool
Really amazing
what a place
😳Damn I would love to see the job where that gets installed!! 14:17
15 bucks an hour? Welp, not going to apply at that mill. With lumber prices what they are now, selling one or two 2x4s pays for that hour.
So as you scale up to that size, when does a job become too small to be economical or worth it?
great question. If like to hear the answer myself. Theres a jewel in that knowledge if someone wants to share.
15 an hr. That's funny. Where I live no one will work for less than 30
Guess you need a bigger garage!!
$15 an hour in Cali? Ouch.
