      Question. But first, great video. You always produce fantastic content.
      After watching this video, it got me thinking. Have you ever seen a trim detail where the casings were meant to have these rolled miters? E.g., the window jambs are intentionally, say, 3/4" proud and you must use this technique because the designer/homeowner wanted the look that creates? It seems like if it were done tastefully it could look really good.

    I owned a trim company and over the years trimmed out about 1500 houses. I never thought of this. I tried setting the chop saw at a slight angle but found it in accurate. We all had very sharp block planes and used them to touch up any joints that were not the best. You get pretty good at it after a while.
    Wish I would have thought about this back then.
    Nice work your doing on the channel

  • @robertwagner3033
    @robertwagner3033 8 місяців тому +2

    This carpenter is spot on. I’ve framed 1000 homes and trim them as well as a carpenter contractor.
    When the window jamb is protruding past the drywall we sometimes power planed the jamb flush.
    I learned the method of tipping the trim piece exactly the way it would sit on the wall. Thicker casing is harder to do if you don’t tip while cutting.
    The problem with today’s windows is the jamb is not as wide as the wall due to the added weather proof tape and Tavel paper. Also when the windows are installed they have tendency to compress against the sheathing plus or minus. His method works . I did it with the miller falls manual miter box back in the day 1970s. When the jamb is not out far enough you either beat the heck out of the drywall or add jamb extensions

    My older brother, who is a trim carpenter, showed me this concept years ago. One thing that is new to me is the drill bit trick. That is slick. Thanks for a great video. I have never subscribed to a UA-cam channel before. You are the first. I just looked at the website for the step gauge and the price is awful. The same thing can be done with a marked shim or tapered piece of 1x. Slide it next to the proud jamb, mark it with a pencil, and use that to set the saw. Way cheaper, especially if you don't do it all the time.

    • @blaster-zy7xx
      @blaster-zy7xx 3 місяці тому +1

    I have run lots of crown but never saw a crown fence. I love it! Last summer I was cutting aluminum cove with a lighting channel for up- lighting at a compound angle. Holding by hand (not a good idea), it came loose, hit my blade and I now have a wobble in the blade that I am now repairing. Had I known about a crown fence this would not have happened.
    67 and still learning.

    @peeloffrecords8496 2 місяці тому +1

    Even preassembled miters will crack at the joint over time. It’s better to shim out the back on 1/16 to an 1/8 and let the caulk to the wall handle the rest. This is especially essential on profiled casing. Either way I love the rolled miter technique. Keep up the great craftsmanship
