I've been doing it the hard way for 72 years. You have straightened me out and made it a lot easier on an old guy. Thank you. I'll tackle the honey-do tomorrow. Remember "happy wife, happy life". I don't think it ever stops but glad to have her.😓
Thanks to this guy’s videos, I did a close to perfection job in my house. First time floor project for me but I score 100 points on ego and 100 points with the wife 👍🏼Thanks buddy !!
Thank you. Terminology is of the utmost importance. We must speak the same language. What seems logical to me as a nurse may not mean a thing to you. Same for construction, us newbies need to understand and you do a great job of explaining lingo.
Easy way to teach inside/outside corner is to tell them to think of a cardboard box. Does the corner look like the inside of the box or the outside of the box.
Amazing teaching! Thank you for breaking it down and being so visual with your details. I just installed my quarter round in a hexagonal room LIKE A PRO!!!!

Ahhh! I appreciate that. Thanks for the sub. I took a small break, but we got some fun stuff coming up with Kellie and I. Thanks for the comment. See ya on the next one
Depending on the saw (works on my 12-in rigid but not my 7 1/4-in Ryobi) you can line up your blade square first then move it to a 45 cut (while holding and making sure it doesn't move) and it will be right on the line without guesswork.
I have no idea why my brain doesn’t get quarter round cuts. But man. Do you ever make it easy. Thank you. You are living proof of my favorite quote about learning: “Science isn’t hard, it’s poorly taught.” Thanks again. Subscribed. If I ever see you in person. I owe you lunch or beer or both.
Brilliant video, best ive seen yet, I'm only a diy guy and what i used to do was cut some small pieces what i would put round the outside and inside corners so i knew which angle to cut and then took them with me to the compound mitre saw so i would always cut correctly, but great video
Hey brother thank you so much for the great help,I never asked for anything but I had that trouble with measuring my molding...thanks again and God bless you

Would you be able to explain how you install quarter round when you have moulding blocks sticking out? The 45 degree angle is not working because of that tiny bit of the block that sucks out and no one has a video on it.

Awesome! I was struggling to remember the angles of my cuts doing some shoe molding in a closet after flooring. That long edge/short edge short hand will come in handy for my next project! Thx!

Do you have a video on the pro and cons on the different types of material used for 1/4 round and shoe molding? When I go to the box store there are 5 different types (poplar, pine, pvc, Styrofoam and MDF. Finally, what is the best way to attach them when there are steel studs? Thanks
I like to use primed pine for all my flooring. I have used mdf but only if the customer has already bought it. I definitely don't use it in the bathroom as it can swell over time from water and moisture. If I am doing a floor where I have to match wood baseboard, then I would just use oak and stain to match. As far as attaching it, i us pl premium 3x, and I use an 18 gage brad nailer. It will pierce the metal as long as you don't hit the corner of the stud where the metal is thick. Then hit the top with some caulk, and you're all set. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question
Just thought of two questions; 1) Do I have to glue the 1/4 round? Some day someone is going to want to change the flooring and if not glued then easy to remove and reuse verse damaging both the 1/4 round and base molding. 2) Nail going through the 1/4 round will not go into the metal studs only, but would go into both the metal bottom plate and the stud. Will 18 gauge go through both or do I miss the stud? Thanks @@YOUFLOOR
@dreid4760 I have used silicone before. You can try using that and then inch and a quarter or inches and a half nails. You can use 16 gauge but leave a bigger hole or you could still use 18 gauge. Just don't nail where there's a stud, then you can use 2 inch nails through the baseboard and bottom plate. Just a few different suggestions. Hope that helps

Either one of those are good. It also depends on what you doing. If you are doing crafts that require small piece then I would use a blade with more teeth. For much finer cuts. (They also make an 80 tooth blade)But if your doing like trim work, or bigger furniture pieces, mantles then 40 tooth should be fine. Especially if your sanding it and or painting your projects. Hope that helps. Great question. Thanks for the comment

Tip: picture a crossword in your mind 1. Connect the letter n of inside to the letter n of long. So, iNside cut is loNg. 2. Connect the letter o in outside with the letter o for short. So, Outside cut is shOrt. Make sense?
It would be a different angle. Check out this video. I use a tool that gives me the exact angle to put my saw on. Helps with those odd angles. ua-cam.com/video/abkTRdbOd2I/v-deo.html
Generally you wouldn't put 1/4 round on steps. If you have small cracks you can caulk them ,but if you have big cracks I would try to use scribe mold or even a flat molding stained the same color. It looks more like it belongs. You can use 1/4 round but it usually doesnt look good unless done right. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question

@Bill Adams sorry brotha was trying to comment back to you but accidentally deleted your comment. Feel free to leave another, and thank you for the support.
I absolutely love what you do but I do not understand long and short. I have watched all of your videos and it makes no sense. I don’t understand what you’re talking about. When you point at a long or short angled piece it doesn’t show us What you are pointing at. Please make a diagram.
Here is why you confuse people. You call the corners two different things. Inside/outside and long/short. Stick to one term and your description of what to do will be more clear. Calling it short one time and inside the next time confuses people. You can call it blah if you want, but stick with a single term for the concept.
No. Not 1/4 round. I do with baseboard and crown molding. But I feel that this is such a small piece of trim and each time I cope, I lengthen th the time on the job. And time is money. Why cope when I can achieve the exact same results and sometimes better doing it this way. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question
As a female a lot of this makes sense to me...but I wish you would go slower! You might know this like the back-of-your-hand but the novice may need a bit of time to absorb what you're doing.
If you want, you can hit the settings and slow the play back speed down. Also, there is a pause and rewind that you can also utilize to get the information. I'm sorry. I thought I was going pretty slow and repeating several key phrases. Thanks for the veiw and comment

That's awesome!! Thanks for the comment
I always just made a very quick sketch of the parts to be cut instead of your inside/long type notations. Works for me.
Hey! Whatever works for you can't be wrong. Thanks for the comment
THANK YOU!!!!!! It FINALLY makes sense. You are an AWESOME teacher.

I screwed up the cuts on two 8' pieces of quarter-round before watching, then afterward, I nailed all the cuts. Thank you for your videos, you rock!

Your gaps look big like the ones im covering today. I was wondering if it was to big for quarter round but if your using it there i guess ill be fine?
Yes, I usually leave a quarter of an inch expansion gap. And quarter round is more than enough to cover that.Thanks for the comment
Hi. I love your channel. My question is what diablo blade do you use for your miter saw ? 40 ,or 60 tooth blade ?
Either one of those are good. It also depends on what you doing. If you are doing crafts that require small piece then I would use a blade with more teeth. For much finer cuts.

Me: A short!

ME: NOOOOOO 😭😭
That is tooooo funny!!😂🙃 hope you got it figured out! Let me know if you have questions! Thanks for being here!
Tip: picture a crossword in your mind
1. Connect the letter n of inside to the letter n of long. So, iNside cut is loNg.
2. Connect the letter o in outside with the letter o for short. So, Outside cut is shOrt.
Make sense?
Thank you. You made my day
If your adjacent wall is not 90° say about 120° or 60°, do you still use 44° for the cut or is there different angle for long and short?
It would be a different angle. Check out this video. I use a tool that gives me the exact angle to put my saw on. Helps with those odd angles. ua-cam.com/video/abkTRdbOd2I/v-deo.html

@Bill Adams sorry brotha was trying to comment back to you but accidentally deleted your comment. Feel free to leave another, and thank you for the support.
Shouldn't shoe molding be used
It is an option but 1/4 round is a little more forgiving for your expansion gap
Outside corner is on 46° - inside corner at 45° ....just commenting to remind me FMI only😅
I absolutely love what you do but I do not understand long and short. I have watched all of your videos and it makes no sense. I don’t understand what you’re talking about. When you point at a long or short angled piece it doesn’t show us What you are pointing at. Please make a diagram.
Why don’t you cope your inside corners?
I do sometimes. Not 1/4 round, though. There would be no point. Thanks for the question
Honestly 99 percent of people watching this know what an inside outside corner is. ( I hope!)
I tried to watch it but dude it should have been like a 4 minute vodeo
Thanks for trying. I have some short vodeos
Here is why you confuse people. You call the corners two different things. Inside/outside and long/short. Stick to one term and your description of what to do will be more clear.

U don’t cope?
No. Not 1/4 round. I do with baseboard and crown molding. But I feel that this is such a small piece of trim and each time I cope, I lengthen th the time on the job. And time is money. Why cope when I can achieve the exact same results and sometimes better doing it this way. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question
