I have had to ban many carpenters from using a caulk gun. They fill them gaps up with white tubes of silicone and when it's time to paint Its now my job to remove it all and caulk it right. Unbelievable the shit I've seen. And it all rolls downhill too so every mistake and fuck up the carpenters make falls on the painters to make look good. It's nice to see this guy who does nice finish work and does know how to paint, although it seems like he sprays everything.
"You have to take into account the pull on the tape measure end" False, that thing wiggles to account for it's own thickness in two situations, butting into something and pulling from something.
I thought it was beautiful .. I have 40 years exp .. The Crapenter's doing trim were considering the fluctuation in the moisture content of the MDF base and allowed for movement .. If it fits too tight .. The painters won't caulk it .. They were thinking ahead .. A Trim Trowel available on Amazon dispenses a backing rod for expansion and at the same time fills the void with a 3 tubes of caulk ..
Thanks for the tips in this video - very helpful. I’ll be doing my own finish carpentry on baseboards and casements. Just doing straight flat 1x6 & 1x4 MDF boards -> farmhouse style. No coping needed & thankfully, pretty straightforward. Not even any mitered corners on doors/windows...since that’s the style. Seriously entry-level stuff. I just ordered crown stops for my miter saw from your recommendation. That‘ll make the cuts easier/better, for sure. My dad, an engineer who does fine woodworking as a hobby says he thinks I’m detail-oriented enough to do this “easy” finish carpentry.🤞🙄 lol I do a lot of my own stuff, but I won’t do a crap job, so I call the pros in when I need to. The problem I run into is that I don’t know what I don’t know...like using the crown stops. The tools of the trade learned through experience that I don’t even know about. Makes my novice job harder. Which is why I watch like 4200 videos on the task before I start.😂 Oh, well...there’s always a more qualified person to do it....a real carpenter who’s just a phone call away. I’ll try my absolute best, but glad I’m not locked in to finishing it if I get in over my head. What looks easy...seldom is. Last, MUCH respect to you guys who do good, detailed, skilled work that DIYers think they can replicate without your experience level. They come to realize your skill when they have to call you in to “fix” their work.
I was a finish carpenter for 16 years with 4 years under my own license. I really like your video because I ran into that problem all the time. Running base directly on the concrete or tile is a pain in the butt for inside corners! An old guy showed me a trick of wadding up newspaper to pack in behind the lower portion of the baseboard so that glue had time to dry up and the baseboard didnt push in when nailed along the bottom. It seemed like the drywall guys didnt apply an even amount of taping compound down where the wall meets the floor.
I take my combination square with the ruler sticking all the way up to see where the plane of the wall comes square down to the floor. Then I put a drywall screw into the bottom plate and screw it in so it lines up with my square. Then the bottom corner is supported and won't flex in when you nail it.
@@daveyjones7391 Yup, exactly what I do. If you put it on a slight angle you can mush the back of the board into the sharp edge of the screw for some fine adjustment and/or just twist the screw in and out. Otherwise flat head is a hard stop which is also fine. Remember where that screw head is because it sucks to hit with the air nail.
Looks like when I do trim, I’m aspiring to be better at it this year. Practice and more practice! Also I love these kinds of videos, I know you’ve showed doing trim a million times but it never gets old watching a skilled craftsmen.
That close up shot at 6:20 was dope. Like to see the precision hand work. I find myself doing a lot of circular drain cuts in tile and stone by hand as well which made the craftmanship stand out to me. A1 job bud
The actual saying goes .. A LITTLE PUTTY, A LITTLE PAINT MAKES A CARPENTER WHAT HE AIN'T.. I'm not a painter I'm a fine finish specialist, or exotic seagull trainer depending on who I talk to
I have tried this and it is a lot harder to keep a steady hand than he makes it look. I'm no pro and was working on my own home but a good ole coping saw is easier for me to operate. lol
watching it reminds me a lot of my job, as a stone countertop fabricator. fabricating corners, sinks, and profiles, using a grinder and diamond tooling in the same way.
The contractor I work for, we do everything from the ground up. We do call in the hvac guy but everything else we do a great job on and we're only a small company of 5 guys.
You aren't even kidding! In my professional life I deal in millimeters and fractions of them...so when I do trimwork at home as a hobby, I tell my wife it takes as long as it does because of that very reason...
Yea my boss got on my case for using lazers to frame, but told me the wall was absolutely on point. I told him that I used to work in a machine shop and he understood why I think that way. Mostly do trim and cabinet installs now and bought a digital 4' level, had to show the guy I work with that a piece of paper will make it out of level in 4'. I do love the new high tech stuff and the level beeps so you don't even have to look at it to know level. I fall into the category of Jack of all trades from cars to houses but it becomes a major drain on the wallet because the amount of tools to do anything that comes my way. Went from a 92 f250 with enclosed service bed that tools outgrew to a 77 box truck (in pic) that weighed 10,100 lbs. Doing cabinets now and in a couple of weeks I'll be cutting concrete in a basement for all the new plumbing. This channel is great, I try to buy whatever he says works for trim and use a lot of the techniques he shows. Adds some extra flare to my work so it stands out. Oh yeah copping with a grinder blows everyone's mind, it's flawless with speed.
Wyman Clark same here been doing it all for many years... so many tools. Working on transitioning to farming and woodworking but when you know how to do it all you get a lot of calls. Been turning down quite a bit of work lately...... wait you’re not supposed to use lasers for framing? 🤷🏻♂️
the level of artistry going into this work definitely justifies whatever you're charging your customers. bravo. and thanks for the free education, you're a real master craftsman and a great teacher.
As a painter for half my life, thank you for taking the time to do edges right. Also that flap disk use for coping the back cut of that base wasn't expected. Keep up the good work!
A true trimmin' machine there Richard! Adapting crown stops for making cuts on 'floppy' mdf base? Nice! Re-doing a project like that sure makes a guy wonder "what WERE they thinking?!" that allowed them to walk away and leave gaps like that, right? Best, Matt
Thats how people make the money nowadays. Do half ass work quick. Get the customers because you charge slightly less. And then when youve run out of customers... Change specialties. Rinse and repeat. Atleast around my area that seems to be the business model.
@@1stFlyingeagle What I have to deal with when I get to a client's house usually. I'm a painter by trade so I will learn trim as well so I can help get rid of that crappy looking trim I have to deal with...
If you are good at framming you are good at cutting crown and base all you have to do is have patience trust me I install trusses with no crane 5 stories high one week it was raining so due to that safety would not let us a work so I went with a friend to install base and crown I messed up in the begging due to the fact I never used a miter 30 minutes later I was a beast now I have my own crown and base company 4 weeks later always keep in mind no matter what u do do your best like if it were for you
I really enjoy your videos and explaining each steps to take in details. Your honesty will pay off. One of my brothers has been doing cabinetry for 40+ yrs. and is detailed like you. 🎸
A good carpenter frames his house thinking about the trim details, that way his trim job is clean and easy. Too many piece hacks that only know.."....nail on the x..MARK RED!
That's actually a good point. In Denmark carpenters are pretty much expected to be able to do everything. Thats also a reason why I will take the time to do things like put in plywall behind the drywall in kitchens; to have something solid to hang the cabinets from, a few weeks later.
You have the hands of a surgeon the way you handle that grinder! I thank you for your videos they have helped me out big time. You explain things in a manner that I can understand and you go into detail without taking a long time to explain. Mahalo Nui Loa! Aloha from Hawaii!
You are freaking amazing with the bullnose. Those back cuts are beautiful. As shaky as I am I would have destroyed it with the 40 grit. You have a very steady hand.
Bro!! I studied and got certified in all levels of forms of carpentry, I’ve done so much framing but I’ve always loved trim and finish carpentry more!!! I’ve learned more in two videos than in school!! Thanks for the videos!
Only people who live in ultra high speed mode do this crap then they say it's the painters job to make it look good. A framer should know how to do two 22.5 angles at least, that job was things I won't say here.
Instantly learnt things from this video. Really liked the idea of using the grinder instead of coping saw. I see so many people just try and do a angle cut in the corner then fill with caulking!!!!
Okay, I’ve only been apprenticing for a little over a year in finished carpentry. But my man did not even check to make sure it fit before he glued the first pieces! SKILLS!!
@@RobertBarth1 quick and cheap. Thing is.. most people actually don't care and will probably destroy the house anyways. After 10 years alot of the trim will be jacked up.
I've never met a qualified framer that would do a job like this, but I have met a few wanna be ones that I've seen first hand do as bad and worse. I can't imagine the homeowner would wreck the trim in their entire house before calling in a pro.
You do now. I built a large chunk of Denver from 1970 to 1992. Started as a carpenter grunt. Wound up a general contractor. along the way I perfected (for my situation) each phase of the process to a home, business, or apartment building. Survey for and site excavation, Foundations, Frame, Trim, Int trim, electrical, (insulation, painting and plumbing, I didn't want any part of, I had a rule, if you can clean it up with a broom it was cool, But had to get my lic in plunging as well because you couldn't find a plunger that didn't love butchering the frame) drywall (hanging and finishing), and cabinetry + things like tile (loved doing a custom tile entry with the family crest in custom made tiles). He's right, they are out there, I am--Was one. Now I'm old and had a stroke 6 years ago that left me paralyzed on the right side. Now my biggest project is overcoming the frustration I feel every time I attempt one of my old skills. enjoy your youth.
@@randomrazr I use 20 minute sheetrock mud. 45 will work fine also. It's easy to sand and you don't have to wait long for it to dry. Don't use the premixed ones. 16 base, 18 trim nails work fine for me.
I cut my teeth working for an architectural milling company who had clients with very deep pockets. I was very young and had no idea how that job would shape my path in life. We once did a job the size of a two car garage that had 38 different profiles. We were a vertical company so I made the templates, molder knives and ran stock for each one of them. I did not realize at the time this experience was forging me in fire. Most people think I'm a woodworking wizard now because of the unique things I build yet I still get excited about doing them after 40 years. I tell you this story to encourage your pursuit to do any job the right way. There is no substitute for experience while striving for excellence because over time it builds a level of confidence that will allow you to tackle any project you can image. It is heart warming to see such a young man doing excellent work and sharing it with others. God Bless!
I’ve never thought to use an angle grinder for my trim-always just used a coping saw and a file. In my next fixer upper I’ll definitely be borrowing that technique, thanks!
I do residential framing all the way through trim, I can’t deal Jack with pretty much anything besides carpentry but even the sloppiest guy is gonna get +/- a 32nd and can do a 45, I would be a lot more concerned about what’s going on inside the walls if the framers were that bad. Seems to me more like a case of howie homeowner screwing up and needing someone to blame. Tbh it’s always better to have someone who can do trim go to framing than the other way around, because the trim guy might take longer but at least it’ll be right whereas the framer might not realize the tolerance differences and just think to fill it with caulk
i hate that, it always shrinks eventually / soon after and looks like a child has done it, i grew up in a family of roofers so thats in my blood but i love learning new trades ive worked as plasterer + builder, my plastering is ace my blockwork slow. but at least i wont finish a job until it looks 1st class, im anal like that, if it dont look right rip it off or knock it down and do it again. its the best way to learn, take my time do it right the 1st time, i wont do anything unless i know i can do it right, wont touch plumbing or electric but most things are doable if u take pride in ur work
Looks like 16 3/4 a little heavy to me, might be the angle of the camera. The end/hook of the tape is made to push and pull, it compensates for the thickness of the hook. So wether you are hooking the end of a board or pushing it in a corner, it's always accurate. I always go with whatever the tape reads, can always take a hair off, but can't add to it, unless you're caulking
@@danch10 I'm sure you're right. But, I doubt that everything lines up just because you're using metric. If he were using a tape measure that read 32nds, then it would've been close enough. But who wants to use that. It either dead on, light, or heavy. As close as it gets. We're not machining parts that have to be within 1,000s of an inch, or centimeter
as a Painting Contractor, I appreciate the results of a great trim installer. After 25+ years in the trades, I believe each trade should make the next trades job easier through attention to detail and sticking with what we know the best. No "Jack-Off All Trades" allowed.
Framer here 🤘 those cuts were horrendous and the bullnose work was a joke. I'll do base and I take pride in my work so if it isn't pretty, I'll rip it off and do better.. Whoever did that, takes no pride in themselves or their work.
Most illegal immigrants do that kind of work and low ball undercut the job just to get it. Then the homeowner winds up paying more to get it done right. I see it all the time in Texas
Been doing baseboards in my own house and this video was a big help. Also ive been putting in laminate flooring and the laminate murders coping saw blades. I never even considered using an angle grinder.
Amen to that! The before looked horrible, what with the baseboard cuts being way off like that. That one 90 degree inverted corner, with the baseboards having a pushed-in look at the bottom of each baseboard... That was totally awful to even look at! Then, the 90 degree cuts around the bullnose corners...yuck! Thankfully, this young man knew how to fix those two problem areas, and he got 'er lookin' good! I wish I was HALF as good at this type of work that this young man is!
I call it a fat 16-3/4". @@franknoth6726 The same issue exists with the metric system when using a tape measure. The 16-3/4" measurement would be 425.45mm, so the issue is where do you draw the line on your precision.
Dude, I just dig your integrity and honesty. More people should value the experience it takes to do the different jobs well. See too many landscapers laying garden/driveway tiles. Some do it well. Most don't. There's a reason it's a four year apprenticeship (in Denmark anyway). Laying cobblestone, getting the cuts just right, angles, compacting the gravel and so on.
Gerardo Linares not true. You get what you pay for. Most handymen work for 20 bucks an hour or 25. Skilled charge by the job which can be much much more. And then pay their workers by the hour.
Gsfbffx Pdhhdf i agree with you !! Customers pay you with peanuts and expect top notch quality !! Or they even say well can you just put in the trim !!!
The jack of all trades loves to rip drywall on the table saw, grout 3 times to make it look good, paint everything with a roller, and glue countertops on with caulk, but at least the end result is good even if it takes longer. Don't confuse this with Chuck with a Truck who really puts his insurance plan to the test when he tires to do a complete bathroom remodel after his 6 months of siding experience.
I was thinking the same thing. Nice job..shitty design. The coffered ceilings he does would look Soo much better. I cant stand the bull nose corners either but hey..its the south
leoz maxwell jilliumz I don't like those bull nosed corner jobs either. I didn't realize it was done on purpose. First time me I seen one, I was thinking, "I can see it was somebodys first time doing trim". 😂 Whoops.
I guess that, to them, sloppiness is next to cleanliness, or whatever. I'll tell you this:If I was building a house, and a framer came in, and did that horrible of a job, he'd be paying me!
Me too. I am a homeowner that does a LOT of my own work. Trim is one thing I just hate doing because it is so obvious. I have learned over several projects (multiple homes and businesses) a few tricks. But, design is the biggest problem with MDF trim over bullnose drywall.
I mean, just take your time and watch finish carpentry TV. It's not rocket science. It's definitely not easy, but this guy makes it easy to follow for us DIYers!

As a painter, I'd love to receive your work for painting. some of the crap carpenters hand us is an absolute sin. that's tight work my friend.
I have had to ban many carpenters from using a caulk gun. They fill them gaps up with white tubes of silicone and when it's time to paint Its now my job to remove it all and caulk it right. Unbelievable the shit I've seen. And it all rolls downhill too so every mistake and fuck up the carpenters make falls on the painters to make look good. It's nice to see this guy who does nice finish work and does know how to paint, although it seems like he sprays everything.
GREAT JOB!! IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT WORLD IF PEOPLE WOULD TAKE THEIR JOB AS SERIOUS AND PROFESSIONAL LIKE THIS MAN !
"You have to take into account the pull on the tape measure end"
False, that thing wiggles to account for it's own thickness in two situations, butting into something and pulling from something.
You are correct
I was going to say the same thing. This is a true statement. Always invest in a good tape.
@@nolandrutledge6944 chill out, go to @3:40 and answer your own question
Yes sir
@@franciscolupianlci237 literally any tape has this feature
I have been a carpenter for 30 years and you just blew my mind with that inside corner cut. 👍
I thought it was beautiful .. I have 40 years exp .. The Crapenter's doing trim were considering the fluctuation in the moisture content of the MDF base and allowed for movement .. If it fits too tight .. The painters won't caulk it .. They were thinking ahead .. A Trim Trowel available on Amazon dispenses a backing rod for expansion and at the same time fills the void with a 3 tubes of caulk ..
You have been a carpenter for 30 years and never heard of coped inside corner?

Just saying
Thanks for the tips in this video - very helpful. I’ll be doing my own finish carpentry on baseboards and casements. Just doing straight flat 1x6 & 1x4 MDF boards -> farmhouse style. No coping needed & thankfully, pretty straightforward. Not even any mitered corners on doors/windows...since that’s the style. Seriously entry-level stuff.
I just ordered crown stops for my miter saw from your recommendation. That‘ll make the cuts easier/better, for sure. My dad, an engineer who does fine woodworking as a hobby says he thinks I’m detail-oriented enough to do this “easy” finish carpentry.🤞🙄 lol I do a lot of my own stuff, but I won’t do a crap job, so I call the pros in when I need to. The problem I run into is that I don’t know what I don’t know...like using the crown stops. The tools of the trade learned through experience that I don’t even know about. Makes my novice job harder. Which is why I watch like 4200 videos on the task before I start.😂
Oh, well...there’s always a more qualified person to do it....a real carpenter who’s just a phone call away. I’ll try my absolute best, but glad I’m not locked in to finishing it if I get in over my head. What looks easy...seldom is.
Last, MUCH respect to you guys who do good, detailed, skilled work that DIYers think they can replicate without your experience level. They come to realize your skill when they have to call you in to “fix” their work.
I was our painters favorite trim carpenter.
Nice touch on gluing your joints, no callbacks.
Nice work! It’s nice to see people taking pride in there work.
They say you learn something everyday, I have always used a coping saw, I like your coping method
I was pretty impressed, I've worked construction my whole life and never seen that.
I was a finish carpenter for 16 years with 4 years under my own license. I really like your video because I ran into that problem all the time. Running base directly on the concrete or tile is a pain in the butt for inside corners! An old guy showed me a trick of wadding up newspaper to pack in behind the lower portion of the baseboard so that glue had time to dry up and the baseboard didnt push in when nailed along the bottom. It seemed like the drywall guys didnt apply an even amount of taping compound down where the wall meets the floor.
I take my combination square with the ruler sticking all the way up to see where the plane of the wall comes square down to the floor. Then I put a drywall screw into the bottom plate and screw it in so it lines up with my square. Then the bottom corner is supported and won't flex in when you nail it.
@@daveyjones7391 great idea!! Hopefully lots of people see your reply
@@daveyjones7391 thats a nice trick. I've always used paper to shim it out but I like that better, will be using it on the next job I do!
@@liquerinfrnt Awesome. Glad the tip can help other people out. I couldn't tell you how many times it's been useful.
@@daveyjones7391 Yup, exactly what I do. If you put it on a slight angle you can mush the back of the board into the sharp edge of the screw for some fine adjustment and/or just twist the screw in and out. Otherwise flat head is a hard stop which is also fine. Remember where that screw head is because it sucks to hit with the air nail.
Looks like when I do trim, I’m aspiring to be better at it this year. Practice and more practice!
Also I love these kinds of videos, I know you’ve showed doing trim a million times but it never gets old watching a skilled craftsmen.
I know a trim carpenter who's favorite saying is " ah the painters will fix it"
So do I. I'm a painter lol
Or try your best caulk the rest
And the plasterers will fix the framing 👍
And if there's any scratches when the jobs all done blame the electricians...
@@charleyweinhardt ALWAYS the electricians.
As a painter we used to joke "When you see a carpenter caulking something you know he screwed up."
That close up shot at 6:20 was dope. Like to see the precision hand work. I find myself doing a lot of circular drain cuts in tile and stone by hand as well which made the craftmanship stand out to me. A1 job bud
I agree!
Have done drain cutouts with a grinder...people thought i used a hole saw.
Even as a framer I would never leave my work looking like that
Caulk and paint make me the Trim Carpenter I ain’t,.
Words I live by.
The actual saying goes .. A LITTLE PUTTY, A LITTLE PAINT MAKES A CARPENTER WHAT HE AIN'T.. I'm not a painter I'm a fine finish specialist, or exotic seagull trainer depending on who I talk to
Similar saying in my field...
Grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain't.
Duct tape and caulk is the DIYers essentials. LOL
@@joshbulski3905 It's actually caulk and paint make a carpenter what he aint. It's all thensame BS though.
Your steady hand for that coping method was like watching a good street artist perform their craft. Stopped me in my tracks. 👍🏻
I have tried this and it is a lot harder to keep a steady hand than he makes it look. I'm no pro and was working on my own home but a good ole coping saw is easier for me to operate. lol
It was mesmerizing to be honest. He got SOOOOOOO close w/o going over. One handed too. Mad skills.
@@ijuggle42 Same here. I gave it a try, and it just made me more in awe of his skill.
watching it reminds me a lot of my job, as a stone countertop fabricator. fabricating corners, sinks, and profiles, using a grinder and diamond tooling in the same way.
That rounded outside corner trick, was terrific. I'll have to file that one away. Thanks!!
Its so satisfying to see a professional correcting cowboy work.
The contractor I work for, we do everything from the ground up. We do call in the hvac guy but everything else we do a great job on and we're only a small company of 5 guys.
No wonder yall be having leaky roofs
Always good to see professionals who know their craft and take the time to do the job RIGHT. 👍
Yea as a finish carpenter I’m a slow framer lol. I know how to frame but can’t bring myself to conform to the rough framing mindset 😉
You aren't even kidding! In my professional life I deal in millimeters and fractions of them...so when I do trimwork at home as a hobby, I tell my wife it takes as long as it does because of that very reason...
Yea my boss got on my case for using lazers to frame, but told me the wall was absolutely on point. I told him that I used to work in a machine shop and he understood why I think that way. Mostly do trim and cabinet installs now and bought a digital 4' level, had to show the guy I work with that a piece of paper will make it out of level in 4'. I do love the new high tech stuff and the level beeps so you don't even have to look at it to know level. I fall into the category of Jack of all trades from cars to houses but it becomes a major drain on the wallet because the amount of tools to do anything that comes my way. Went from a 92 f250 with enclosed service bed that tools outgrew to a 77 box truck (in pic) that weighed 10,100 lbs. Doing cabinets now and in a couple of weeks I'll be cutting concrete in a basement for all the new plumbing. This channel is great, I try to buy whatever he says works for trim and use a lot of the techniques he shows. Adds some extra flare to my work so it stands out.
Oh yeah copping with a grinder blows everyone's mind, it's flawless with speed.
Wyman Clark same here been doing it all for many years... so many tools. Working on transitioning to farming and woodworking but when you know how to do it all you get a lot of calls. Been turning down quite a bit of work lately...... wait you’re not supposed to use lasers for framing? 🤷🏻♂️
I'd love to go on a job and see a mitered rough window opening, lol.
I do woodworking furniture as a hobby for myself. Its hard to see how framers mark and cut their wood.
the level of artistry going into this work definitely justifies whatever you're charging your customers. bravo. and thanks for the free education, you're a real master craftsman and a great teacher.
As a painter for half my life, thank you for taking the time to do edges right. Also that flap disk use for coping the back cut of that base wasn't expected. Keep up the good work!
A true trimmin' machine there Richard! Adapting crown stops for making cuts on 'floppy' mdf base? Nice! Re-doing a project like that sure makes a guy wonder "what WERE they thinking?!" that allowed them to walk away and leave gaps like that, right? Best, Matt
Oh, the painters will fix it. Caulk the magic glue.
Thats how people make the money nowadays. Do half ass work quick. Get the customers because you charge slightly less. And then when youve run out of customers... Change specialties. Rinse and repeat. Atleast around my area that seems to be the business model.

“A little cawking and paint makes a framer what he ain’t.”
We call caulking tubes "no more skills"
Do your best then caulk the rest
Caulk and paint what I ain't
Framing is where the craft is ,a lot of thought and planning and building codes to consider ,cutting trim and hanging doors is easy.
If you are good at framming you are good at cutting crown and base all you have to do is have patience trust me I install trusses with no crane 5 stories high one week it was raining so due to that safety would not let us a work so I went with a friend to install base and crown I messed up in the begging due to the fact I never used a miter 30 minutes later I was a beast now I have my own crown and base company 4 weeks later always keep in mind no matter what u do do your best like if it were for you
I really enjoy your videos and explaining each steps to take in details. Your honesty will pay off. One of my brothers has been doing cabinetry for 40+ yrs. and is detailed like you. 🎸
That flap disc cut was other worldly. Looked better than most art.
That gives you a nice set of "before" and "after" pics for the "Why should you hire us?" section of your website... :)
Yasss it will help promote, more $$$ more videos with freee knowledge!!!
Probably fitted it shit as advertisement. 10 mins to install whack mdf board that costs peanuts, but the video generates much more in revenue. Clever
@@TheGreg2710 Wow. Cynical.
I like it. :)
A good carpenter frames his house thinking about the trim details, that way his trim job is clean and easy. Too many piece hacks that only know.."....nail on the x..MARK RED!
That's actually a good point. In Denmark carpenters are pretty much expected to be able to do everything. Thats also a reason why I will take the time to do things like put in plywall behind the drywall in kitchens; to have something solid to hang the cabinets from, a few weeks later.
Doesn't matter when the corner bead goes on it changes your miter. I use a miter Gauge to make sure some drywall guys sand more than feather.
Huge tile job, you are hilarious 😂
Them stops are so useful. Never thought about that. Thank you!!
You have the hands of a surgeon the way you handle that grinder! I thank you for your videos they have helped me out big time. You explain things in a manner that I can understand and you go into detail without taking a long time to explain. Mahalo Nui Loa! Aloha from Hawaii!

So bloody funny.
You are freaking amazing with the bullnose. Those back cuts are beautiful. As shaky as I am I would have destroyed it with the 40 grit. You have a very steady hand.
Hahaha every time I watch you cope with the grinder, I hold my breath as you make those tiny cuts 😉
Bro!! I studied and got certified in all levels of forms of carpentry, I’ve done so much framing but I’ve always loved trim and finish carpentry more!!! I’ve learned more in two videos than in school!! Thanks for the videos!
Your flap disk work is impressive. You have some steady hands!
Wow! That was pretty horrible. I'm always impressed with your precision. Always.
I’m like tile job? Damn you Richard you had me for moment there.
I wouldn’t let a framer who left the trim like that frame my house.
Guy Buddy lmao that made me laugh my ass off for some reason
I feel like this framer only dedicated his life to framing and he might be a great framer but when it comes to the detail he isn’t for it
3/4 strong
Only people who live in ultra high speed mode do this crap then they say it's the painters job to make it look good. A framer should know how to do two 22.5 angles at least, that job was things I won't say here.
@@Realism91 i bet that they didnt even use miter saw. just a big ass skill saw to do 45 angles
Instantly learnt things from this video. Really liked the idea of using the grinder instead of coping saw. I see so many people just try and do a angle cut in the corner then fill with caulking!!!!
Okay, I’ve only been apprenticing for a little over a year in finished carpentry. But my man did not even check to make sure it fit before he glued the first pieces! SKILLS!!

quick and cheap.
Thing is.. most people actually don't care and will probably destroy the house anyways. After 10 years alot of the trim will be jacked up.
I don't know any framers that would do that sure looks like the homeowner tried to do the trim and ended up calling you after
I've never met a qualified framer that would do a job like this, but I have met a few wanna be ones that I've seen first hand do as bad and worse. I can't imagine the homeowner would wreck the trim in their entire house before calling in a pro.
You do now. I built a large chunk of Denver from 1970 to 1992. Started as a carpenter grunt. Wound up a general contractor. along the way I perfected (for my situation) each phase of the process to a home, business, or apartment building. Survey for and site excavation, Foundations, Frame, Trim, Int trim, electrical, (insulation, painting and plumbing, I didn't want any part of, I had a rule, if you can clean it up with a broom it was cool, But had to get my lic in plunging as well because you couldn't find a plunger that didn't love butchering the frame) drywall (hanging and finishing), and cabinetry + things like tile (loved doing a custom tile entry with the family crest in custom made tiles). He's right, they are out there, I am--Was one. Now I'm old and had a stroke 6 years ago that left me paralyzed on the right side. Now my biggest project is overcoming the frustration I feel every time I attempt one of my old skills. enjoy your youth.
how do u cover the nail hose? is it 16 gauage people normally use
@@randomrazr I use 20 minute sheetrock mud. 45 will work fine also. It's easy to sand and you don't have to wait long for it to dry. Don't use the premixed ones. 16 base, 18 trim nails work fine for me.
@@Wipsplash shame dewalt doesnt make a nail gun that can switch from 16 to 18
i've been doing this with a jig saw for a long time. The angle grinder is a great tip!! Thanks for the video!
You can also use a coping saw.
I cut my teeth working for an architectural milling company who had clients with very deep pockets. I was very young and had no idea how that job would shape my path in life. We once did a job the size of a two car garage that had 38 different profiles. We were a vertical company so I made the templates, molder knives and ran stock for each one of them. I did not realize at the time this experience was forging me in fire. Most people think I'm a woodworking wizard now because of the unique things I build yet I still get excited about doing them after 40 years. I tell you this story to encourage your pursuit to do any job the right way. There is no substitute for experience while striving for excellence because over time it builds a level of confidence that will allow you to tackle any project you can image. It is heart warming to see such a young man doing excellent work
and sharing it with others. God Bless!
I’ve never thought to use an angle grinder for my trim-always just used a coping saw and a file.
In my next fixer upper I’ll definitely be borrowing that technique, thanks!
I do residential framing all the way through trim, I can’t deal Jack with pretty much anything besides carpentry but even the sloppiest guy is gonna get +/- a 32nd and can do a 45, I would be a lot more concerned about what’s going on inside the walls if the framers were that bad. Seems to me more like a case of howie homeowner screwing up and needing someone to blame. Tbh it’s always better to have someone who can do trim go to framing than the other way around, because the trim guy might take longer but at least it’ll be right whereas the framer might not realize the tolerance differences and just think to fill it with caulk
I don't know any experienced framer who would do that.
With gaps that big I'd be suspect of any framing work they did too lol.
With bad framing everything else has to be crooked just right to match.
I read "don't let your farmer do trim", which would have been just as appropriate
Certainly was a butcher
Thank you for showing how you use the grinder for coping. Looked great.
Excellent job. I don’t do baseboards until just recently and realized this is a art. Thank you for the tips
At least they didn't fill everything with caulk like most do.
They didn’t make it that far
I would of just filled it with caulking
The insides should be caulked regardless.
Rob Williams yeah. That’s what I do 😂
i hate that, it always shrinks eventually / soon after and looks like a child has done it, i grew up in a family of roofers so thats in my blood but i love learning new trades ive worked as plasterer + builder, my plastering is ace my blockwork slow. but at least i wont finish a job until it looks 1st class, im anal like that, if it dont look right rip it off or knock it down and do it again. its the best way to learn, take my time do it right the 1st time, i wont do anything unless i know i can do it right, wont touch plumbing or electric but most things are doable if u take pride in ur work
lol! "I got a big tile Job" you got me.I was thinking dang i didn't know he did tile
When you said “let me know in the comments” about that measurement 😂😂😂
Beautiful workmanship
The real diamond hands right here! Dude that’s what it means by being a professional at your trade. Great job!
6:15 I've never seen that before. Amazing 🔥
Looks like 16 3/4 a little heavy to me, might be the angle of the camera.
The end/hook of the tape is made to push and pull, it compensates for the thickness of the hook. So wether you are hooking the end of a board or pushing it in a corner, it's always accurate. I always go with whatever the tape reads, can always take a hair off, but can't add to it, unless you're caulking
I have met people who work with a tape measure everyday for 30 years who did not realize that the hook slides in and out to compensate.
I audibly muttered “And a c-hair” at that part.
Better using metric...
@@danch10 I'm sure you're right.
But, I doubt that everything lines up just because you're using metric.
If he were using a tape measure that read 32nds, then it would've been close enough. But who wants to use that. It either dead on, light, or heavy. As close as it gets. We're not machining parts that have to be within 1,000s of an inch, or centimeter
as a Painting Contractor, I appreciate the results of a great trim installer. After 25+ years in the trades, I believe each trade should make the next trades job easier through attention to detail and sticking with what we know the best. No "Jack-Off All Trades" allowed.
Jack of all trades master of none Always better than a master of one

Super hip vid. Your teaching of perfection resonates.
Framer here 🤘 those cuts were horrendous and the bullnose work was a joke. I'll do base and I take pride in my work so if it isn't pretty, I'll rip it off and do better.. Whoever did that, takes no pride in themselves or their work.
Jay TX fellow framer here. Yea this is a bad title for a video
This
Agreed. The problem wasn’t that the contractor was a framer, nor plumber, tile man or the pizza delivery guy - the problem was a lack of care.
He was very generous not to rip this guy a new one.
Most illegal immigrants do that kind of work and low ball undercut the job just to get it. Then the homeowner winds up paying more to get it done right. I see it all the time in Texas
This guy would beat the Operation game every time. Steady hands.
I do framing work and trim work, and build kitchen cabinets just saying!
Been doing baseboards in my own house and this video was a big help. Also ive been putting in laminate flooring and the laminate murders coping saw blades. I never even considered using an angle grinder.
That corner detail was phenomenal!
Really cool
Love watching a true trim carpenter. Not everything is a 45.
Amen to that! The before looked horrible, what with the baseboard cuts being way off like that. That one 90 degree inverted corner, with the baseboards having a pushed-in look at the bottom of each baseboard...
That was totally awful to even look at! Then, the 90 degree cuts around the bullnose corners...yuck! Thankfully, this young man knew how to fix those two problem areas, and he got 'er lookin' good! I wish I was HALF as good at this type of work that this young man is!

Dude, I just dig your integrity and honesty. More people should value the experience it takes to do the different jobs well. See too many landscapers laying garden/driveway tiles. Some do it well. Most don't. There's a reason it's a four year apprenticeship (in Denmark anyway). Laying cobblestone, getting the cuts just right, angles, compacting the gravel and so on.

A jack of all trades is usually a 60-70 year old man
The jack of all trades loves to rip drywall on the table saw, grout 3 times to make it look good, paint everything with a roller, and glue countertops on with caulk, but at least the end result is good even if it takes longer. Don't confuse this with Chuck with a Truck who really puts his insurance plan to the test when he tires to do a complete bathroom remodel after his 6 months of siding experience.

First time me I seen one, I was thinking,
"I can see it was somebodys first time doing trim". 😂
Whoops.
I guess that, to them, sloppiness is next to cleanliness, or whatever. I'll tell you this:If I was building a house, and a framer came in, and did that horrible of a job, he'd be paying me!
Me too. I am a homeowner that does a LOT of my own work. Trim is one thing I just hate doing because it is so obvious. I have learned over several projects (multiple homes and businesses) a few tricks. But, design is the biggest problem with MDF trim over bullnose drywall.
Also never seen someone cope like that. Thats clean as hell
I use a jigsaw instead
I mean, just take your time and watch finish carpentry TV. It's not rocket science. It's definitely not easy, but this guy makes it easy to follow for us DIYers!
