I save all of my “Finish Carpentry TV” videos for Saturday mornings. Can’t wait to sit by the computer with a cup of coffee to study this video. I truly love them.
Thank you for calling out that OCD is a serious thing. As someone who's had OCD for 11 years, it's surprising and refreshing to hear someone say what you just said. Good man. :)
Absolutely agree. I don't have it, but I definitely know that it is a debilitating disorder that shouldn't be taken lightly, nor should it be confused with liking neatness or being bothered by something being out of place or left unfinished like the door casing in this video. What most people have is a mild case of OCPD, which is quite different (although the name is confusing I'll admit as much). It also bothers me when people say "Oh man, I'm so OCD", like they ARE the disorder, not just that they have it (which, as we know they probably don't). Makes no sense.
@@PikkaBird Thanks for the explanation. I probably have a mild case, but sometimes I say it to others because I sometimes spontaneously justify myself for being overly tidy around others at work (I know I don't have to justify it...but I do sometimes). Good reminder to not throw the term around lightly.
I noticed the channel had 399k subscribers. I couldn't resist and subscribed hoping it would jump to 400k. It didn't work, but at least we tried. Thank you for the content. Excellent craftsmanship!
That inside corner treatment is a great tip so it doesn’t look too big. Because of the viewpoint/optics it would easily look too large if you made them the full width on both sides. This is a great tip for any vertical trim that goes into the corner.
PLEASSSSSSE DO NOT EVER STOP DOING VIDEOS. I came across your videos 6 hours ago and I’m a female with no previous experience only passion. I never comment on UA-cam but your effort in your craftsmanship and generosity in doing these inspiring helpful videos made me do it. You deserve an award for the tinniest bit of informative information you pass on. Thank you!!!!!!
Does the door casing have a 1x2 on the end of a 1x4 or is there a 1x1 on top of the 1x4? Has anyone cases a door like this? And have they used a router on the 1x2 to give it a better look? Are there websites that show the different ways to case doors and windows with detailed instructions? Thanks. Btw, great video Finish Carpenter. I love to watch you perform magic in all of your videos.
I’m 57 years old, and I have been a trim carpenter for 40 years. I hope that my history brings weight to my comment. I respect what you do and Ottis awesome to see your passion. My comment is “nice work brother”
Your one of my favourite youtubers A genuine nice fella. You have that calm demeanour. Perfect for your trade. Thanks for taking the time to provide useful tips. I'm a house basher but I'd like to specialise in trim one day. Your videos are most helpful
I feel so professional because I've learned so much from your videos. I love to go back and reference to confirm what I learned. Thank you for taking the time to teach those out there like me who are inspired by you.
Going back through older videos as they pop up. I'm really feeling better about going after some small trim and custom carpentry jobs. Shoot, I already have just about all the tools. I wish I had more projects I can do at home to use in a portfolio. Conceptually, this stuff justakes so much sense to me. I just want to be sure I can translate it to an actual project. Working up a bid is my real sticking point. But thanks for all these videos. Your generosity and enthusiasm are terrific 👍
Your Finish Carpentry skills are great. As a detail man where I have to see it and do it. Just making these videos teach me a lot. I know you've learned by your mistakes and I thank you a lot.
what was the orange plastic tool you used for marking your bullnose corners for your trim? also how do you install trim at a closet entry with bullnose corners and using paneling only on the outside wall?
Thanks for this class. So many of your videos over the years have been so helpful for me. I appreciate your channel a lot. And thanks for what you said about OCD. I greatly dislike how people misuse it all the time... I have OCD and it sucks. Plus it is super varied and not just about germs and organization, sigh. But yeah, I appreciate people with followings mentioning it to get that education out there. Thanks so much.
I am so glad you covered the walls being out of plumb in the corners. My 1950 house is a wee bit off so this really helped me resolve the issue. Thanks again.
Hey Richard. U did a wonderful job on Ur railing, looks Fantastic. Keep up the Gr8 work with Ur & John’s woodworking skills.I see sometimes the Wifey also comes to Ur aid.
Your voice and your explanations are so pleasant, I could listen to you talk just about anything. And when you see what kind of art you create at the end, satisfaction is complete. I love your work and your personality.
Great video Richard ,have you ever thought of becoming a teacher / lecturer in carpentry ? You make things very simple and easy to understand... Also when i do panelling here in the UK , when the stiles come to a external corner , I keep them back 3/4” and use a 3/4 dowel to close the corner , looks really good and simple & quick
Richard, I was one of those who voted for the metal balusters, but I’m happy to say that I was completely wrong! Those square wooden balusters look fantastic! They were clearly the correct decision. It goes very well (perfetly) with the shiplap walls, the stained handrails, and the beautiful posts you made. The spacing between them, really made it look amazing. I’m very impressed.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Very good explanations and I love the subtle humour. However, what I really appreciate the most is the respect you have for others. Thank you for reminding people that OCD isn’t a term to be thrown around as people genuinely do suffer if they have OCD. For this alone I will continue to support your channel. Well done!
Great series here! Im not a pro by any means but I’ve done a lot of finish work. When I have a tight space trimming out a door, most times it makes sense just to make the entire door trim wider or narrower (within an inch or so) to take up the awkward corner space. By the time it’s all painted the same color, the fullness of the trim usually looks better than slivers of trim tucked in the corner. In the end, it’s all personal preference as you describe well in your videos.
Thank you for putting together such a detailed video! This helped move our project forward. We were stuck with how to finish the corners and you answered it perfectly.
You’re a natural instructor. Thank you for sharing and being so detailed in the hidden issues. I’m in Houston and I work for the largest door company around that includes installs, so I take great joy in your detail!
Great video series, really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Would you recommend MDF or wood like pine boards? What did you use for this project? Thanks!
I appreciate the time and skill you put into your videos Richard. This follows the work ethic you appear to apply with each job and task within that you edit and post. This is a project to follow along with and observe the panelized approach. -Bob... PS: The blue icicle lighting add a nice touch to a well build set of railings!
I love watching your videos and have for years. You have taught me alot. I am actually doing the trim in my basement and have 2 windows to do. When you are doing the casing could you specify the size of board you are using along the bottom of the window? I'm not sure if there is a standard width or if it's preference.
Thats what its all about for me is attention to detail and so many carpenters don't have that, drives me crazy. That said its a pleasure to watch your videos and see your work
A few panel layout questions: 1. When determining panel layout for a room do you make the panels the exact same size all around and then have a partial width panel as a remainder for a few of the walls (because of the different size runs on the walls) or do you adjust the panel width for each run: just trying to have approximately the same width? 2. Do you ever end a rail straight into a piece of casing (either door or window) without having a stile beneath it also butting against the casing? Are there any cases where the stile and casing together will look too wide? Really appreciate your advice on the corners in this video and thank you for posting these!
Hello first off outstanding job with everything that you do and all of your videos. You’re probably my top trusted woodworking UA-cam site that I referenced! In this video it looks like you’re using either poplar or pine for the wood. Is there anything wrong with going with MDF for the rails and sales?
I would reset that closet door and set it closer to the latch side of the rough opening, try to match that inside corner detail with the 2 sides of the other door. Best way to do it I think. Good luck, you'll figure it out.
Have a question about inside corner stile width. Do you cut them wider to give same exposed surface area as the other stiles? Or same width as the stiles in the rest of the wall leaving them slightly less exposed I the corners than the others?
Another question: if you have window/door casings pre-existing, would you tear them out and install thicker ones? It seems with the paneling and the 1x's , you'll exceed the depth of the reveal on the existing casings.
My casing was deep enough to accommodate the 1x’s, but not enough to accommodate adding the baseboard back on, so I cut my casings at their bottoms and added plinths that gave just enough extra depth for the baseboard to butt up against
Richard, I very much enjoy all your videos but, don't laugh when I saw I get gitty like a little school girl when I know you're about to lay down some killer trim videos!! So excited to see this all come together. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!
I’d also like to point out that I’m beyond excited to see that finished window casing with the wainscoting surrounding it. I’m curious as to what you’ll do for window treatments. Those standard blinds won’t do that room justice. Linen Roman shade, perhaps?
I just thought it through...if you did it that way, you would have to miter the bottom rail and the top rail also. Which will just add additional time whereas you could just make one unit shorter. If you have a different reason, please let me know. thanks for the videos!
I will be installing wainscoting on the three walls at one end of a long room to set apart the area that will be dedicated as a dining area. Can you talk about how you would finish out the vertical end piece that does not end in a corner? Thanks in advance!
For the final door, my idea is to have the top cap return that terminates in the 1/8 reveal before the cove moulding. This would maintain a the vertical strength of the door casing and I feel might be less choppy than a half height cove piece. I'm not there to see or measure it though. 🙂
The casing you show leaning up against the left side of the door is supposed to be on the right side of the door judging by the 45 degree angle on the top (13:28 mark). So I’m confused. If the 1x2 trim on the side of the 1x4 is installed with the 1x2 by the door instead of on the outside of the casing the two pieces on both sides of the door will be flush with the door casing, or 1”. That would result in an approximate 1x6 on each side with the 1x2 end cap being next to the door opening. Could someone explain this? Thnx!
I make a temp window extension marking tool too. But I mark a reveal on the window and hold the window extension template to the reveal so its the same all the way around the window.
How would you treat that same outside corner if it weren’t a bull nose edge? Miter each style to reveal the full 3.5 inches on each? Love the videos! I’ve learned so much. Thanks!
Hi Richard, on the first corner you mentioned, why not just miter the inside edges so you have an equal reveal and still have the full width? I know you said thats just how you do it. but it seems like it would be easier that way. Have you tried that and it didn't work well? thanks!
Love all the thought that you put into your work. Trying to duplicate that process with my kitchen remodel. Moving away from small bead wainscoting and going with judges panel. No trim on doorway in which to end and if I case in that doorway the new cabinets won’t fit through. 😳. Any thoughts?
Great video, excellent information and thought process of what works. Although anyone can build it as they please, one should always follow what our ancestors have established. The Greek, Roman, colonial, and Victorian style all have rules that make them architecturally pleasing. So even if you do a modern style the rules still must be followed. Otherwise, fail.
Great tutorial. My question is do all of the boxes have to be the same size around a room? What happens when opposing walls are not the same lengths and the end wall is a different width with a window in it, have different angles? How do you account for those variations when calculating your layouts?
Hi Richard, long time follower of your channel. Referring to the corners, I decided to set the last corner stile 3/4" in from the top and bottom rails. I install the full wall wainscot and then but the next wall's corner stile right against the corner of the one I installed which gives me the same reveal in that corner. Is this something you've tried or would see an issue? Learning so much from you, sharing knowledge is the best thing a person can do.
Could you clarify that you are using different door casing designs for different parts of the same house? Just saw 1.1m house deal fall through as the downstairs window casings were totally different styles of door/window casings.
Traditional homes were built with different moldings in each room, or if the same in each room, different on each floor. It's called architectural subordination. Your house buyer doesn't understand basic elements of architecture if that killed the deal. The premise is to highlight your best room, or best floor, then slowly diminish the splendor as you go upstairs, where the kids or guest might stay, or as you go further back into a house. Kitchens should actually be subordinate utilitarian rooms, but we Americans have ruined that concept and made them dominant. I just did a 1900 shotgun house with improper teamwork, and recreated the original extraordinary Victorian baseboards in the front two rooms (originally it was only the front room, we upscaled the middle room), and then used simpler Victorian baseboards in kitchen, bath and second floor. The middle room was unique, in that it had a special detailed window and door casings that were not found elsewhere in the house. I assume that's what happened in the house you mentioned. Also, I think he is using the same design in this room, but all have not been completed yet, with all the trim added.
You can always add 3/4 when ripping the as a filler to make 4.25 on one stile and the other 3.5 stile will mirror the other stile for the inside corner. That way all the stiles have the same uniformity?
Redoing all the interior trim in my house this summer and will definitely be using you as a reference. Thanks for your time in putting out these videos. Out of curiosity, is there a way of setting the focus on your camera so it doesn't change all the time?
At least on some lenses they have a focus hold button, or setting it to manual focus. You'd have to manually change the focus every time the subject changes in a shot, especially with low light when you're shooting with a low f stop. Much easier to set it to autofocus in his scenario.

Thank you for the OCD call out.
Right. There's a detailing company where I live called OCD detailing. I know the guy! Definitely not OCD!
pointedspider In my mind, the guy’s name is forever Oscar Charley Davidson and that’s his cleaning company. :)
Great video. You are the best.

I would reset that closet door and set it closer to the latch side of the rough opening, try to match that inside corner detail with the 2 sides of the other door. Best way to do it I think. Good luck, you'll figure it out.
Thank you for addressing the plum question I brought up, I was thinking of scribing a wider board but to shim is a far better idea, cheers.
Have a question about inside corner stile width. Do you cut them wider to give same exposed surface area as the other stiles? Or same width as the stiles in the rest of the wall leaving them slightly less exposed I the corners than the others?

Really appreciate the time you take to teach. Question: any considerations to the electrical outlets to the layout?
The casing you show leaning up against the left side of the door is supposed to be on the right side of the door judging by the 45 degree angle on the top (13:28 mark). So I’m confused. If the 1x2 trim on the side of the 1x4 is installed with the 1x2 by the door instead of on the outside of the casing the two pieces on both sides of the door will be flush with the door casing, or 1”. That would result in an approximate 1x6 on each side with the 1x2 end cap being next to the door opening. Could someone explain this?
Thnx!
It appears it’s just a scrap length he’s using to determine spacing etc.
@ Thanks!
You live in the best place to do finishing carpentry.....weatherwise...lol...since you brought up the nature scene....lol
I make a temp window extension marking tool too. But I mark a reveal on the window and hold the window extension template to the reveal so its the same all the way around the window.
How would you treat that same outside corner if it weren’t a bull nose edge? Miter each style to reveal the full 3.5 inches on each?
Love the videos! I’ve learned so much. Thanks!
I’m interested in how you will determine the spacing between the stiles. Love the videos.
I know it will all work out but the suspense is killing me. Is he gonna use a board stretcher?
He has an older video explaining how he does it. I'm interested to see if he is using the same technique.
Request for the window casing: could you please explain the window prep. Was the Sheetrock inside casing removed? We going to trim our windows soon.
Good work man 👍
Hi Richard, on the first corner you mentioned, why not just miter the inside edges so you have an equal reveal and still have the full width? I know you said thats just how you do it. but it seems like it would be easier that way. Have you tried that and it didn't work well? thanks!
Looking forward to the next ones let's GO
Great video, I like the way you explain everything so clearly.
Love all the thought that you put into your work. Trying to duplicate that process with my kitchen remodel.
Moving away from small bead wainscoting and going with judges panel. No trim on doorway in which to end and if I case in that doorway the new cabinets won’t fit through. 😳.
Any thoughts?
Great video, excellent information and thought process of what works. Although anyone can build it as they please, one should always follow what our ancestors have established.

What happens when opposing walls are not the same lengths and the end wall is a different width with a window in it, have different angles? How do you account for those variations when calculating your layouts?
Hi Richard, long time follower of your channel. Referring to the corners, I decided to set the last corner stile 3/4" in from the top and bottom rails. I install the full wall wainscot and then but the next wall's corner stile right against the corner of the one I installed which gives me the same reveal in that corner. Is this something you've tried or would see an issue? Learning so much from you, sharing knowledge is the best thing a person can do.
Could you clarify that you are using different door casing designs for different parts of the same house? Just saw 1.1m house deal fall through as the downstairs window
casings were totally different styles of door/window casings.
Traditional homes were built with different moldings in each room, or if the same in each room, different on each floor. It's called architectural subordination. Your house buyer doesn't understand basic elements of architecture if that killed the deal. The premise is to highlight your best room, or best floor, then slowly diminish the splendor as you go upstairs, where the kids or guest might stay, or as you go further back into a house. Kitchens should actually be subordinate utilitarian rooms, but we Americans have ruined that concept and made them dominant. I just did a 1900 shotgun house with improper teamwork, and recreated the original extraordinary Victorian baseboards in the front two rooms (originally it was only the front room, we upscaled the middle room), and then used simpler Victorian baseboards in kitchen, bath and second floor. The middle room was unique, in that it had a special detailed window and door casings that were not found elsewhere in the house. I assume that's what happened in the house you mentioned.
Also, I think he is using the same design in this room, but all have not been completed yet, with all the trim added.
I hope you can show some detail tips on how to locate and router out the electrical boxes on the waynescotting panel
You can always add 3/4 when ripping the as a filler to make 4.25 on one stile and the other 3.5 stile will mirror the other stile for the inside corner. That way all the stiles have the same uniformity?
Was there drywall around the window jamb area or was it preexisting trim? If it was drywall, how did you remove it without damaging the rest?
Redoing all the interior trim in my house this summer and will definitely be using you as a reference. Thanks for your time in putting out these videos.
Out of curiosity, is there a way of setting the focus on your camera so it doesn't change all the time?
At least on some lenses they have a focus hold button, or setting it to manual focus. You'd have to manually change the focus every time the subject changes in a shot, especially with low light when you're shooting with a low f stop. Much easier to set it to autofocus in his scenario.
Not sure why on this video there was such in/out focus going on. I haven't noticed it this much in any of his other videos.
