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.
Immediately bought both tools!
I've got 46 years as a carpenter under my belt and never thought of this and none of the people I have worked with brought it up. Thanks for the tip.
Same here. So simple!
My mind is blown!
Me 3
It's a shame that the generation from 1970-80 worker they were given the wisdom they were taught by old timer. But had stick in there butt to not going help you make you better fu . Your not taking my job or I just don't care.
I was taught this by guy 5 yrs ago he was his 70s
@@danbob1650 I'm 66 and I hope to show a young carpenter this some day.
20 years of finish carpentry and I've never seen this trick. Really appreciate you making these videos
Same here
In my 20 yrs i always used my pencil under the trim,,,it back cuts it and the front always looks tight
It's easier to just use a hacksaw and eyeball it. 🤪
i've got 128 years of being a Finnish carpenter, and something something never seen this before. Thanks for making this!
Oooh, rookie!😂
I'm a Swedish carpenter.
This kid is the best trim carpenter I've seen on YT. 💯
Old guy I worked with years ago showed me this trick but he used a shim and marked it. Game changer.
I am embarassed to say how many years I have been a carpenter and never have I seen someone with such a simple, reliable solution to problem of wonky extension jambs. I enjoy your orderly approach to the work ith details like your cut list holder.
Spencer you are truly a wizard. I'm so impressed by your work ethic,problem solving skills and overall aptitude for this trade. You have made me want to be a better trim carpenter and I appreciate you so much.
Thanks for the kind words!
I'm only a DIY'er but what a great video and just love the no nonsense presentation; no robot voices or stultifying "muzak". Simply brilliant and brilliantly simple. Great job. 10/10
It’s already been said but I’ll say it again. 30+ years as a carpenter and never seen this trick. Thanks Spencer. 👍🏻
Been in home improvement 50 yrs. I learn something new everyday. Great video
Awesome! As you said, "all the headaches I could have avoided over the years". Thank you!
This is why I love UA-cam! Just learned something awesome
I tried this trick on a door trim today-magnificent!
This is great, I've been doing casing for a long time and this is the first time I've seen anything like this,,,,, Thanks.
I'm not even gonna read a single comment. I already know what they say. This is just plain carpentry gold here. I feel the same about looking back at how I fought these joints. Thanks so much for this!
What an amazingly simple idea. The only thing wrong, that I can see, is that I didn't think of it.
Thanks you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I’m blown away! That’s an awesome technique. Thanks man 👍🏽
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
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
Explained so well that I knew what you were going to do before you did it. Thank you!
Great tips. Been in the business a long time and learned a few tips with this video - thanks. As with most things, there is always something one can learn from other pros.
Wow words can't describe how much this changes my work. Thank you
This is an absolutely phenomenal video and you are an excellent teacher! I learned so much extremely valuable information and you explained everything so well! Im so grateful to have found your channel and content! Im feeling a bit more confident to cut and install all my crown molding and window trim and floor trim I am attempting to put in myself. Thank you so very much!!! 🎉 Yes,n this is absolutely essential information!
You are just as good if not better than Finish Carpentry TV. Keep up the good work!
I literally used this trick today on a old bay window that had a proud jamb on one corner and it worked like a charm!! Thanks for the tip!

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.
Me too. We used shims to do this and sometimes cut the shims to use as spacers on the chop saw, but never heard of using drill bits.
Plus you can add a couple bucks to the bill under consumables to pay for the shims or just eat the expense as the cost of doing business.
Really money tip! 20 year carpenter…never heard of this. Super slick.
I guess an old dog can learn a new trick….Spencer by far you have one of the best channels on UA-cam. Keep up the good work!
One of the best tips I've seen in a while. Thank you for such valuable content.
Thx for sharing your tricks in trim work. Noone that I know does this or taught me this in my 23 yrs of miter cuts
I do a lot of renovation work so I run into jam issues almost every re-trim job. 25 years in carpentry but never seen this trick shows that you can learn something new everyday. Thanks Spencer!
I have over 35 years experience and this concept never entered my mind. I really appreciate the tips !
Glad it was helpful!
Man you are a very good teacher
You are a great teacher. Your work is amazing. Thank you For sharing this knowledge.
Your videos are amazing. I have learned so much from you. I love the way you go into detail explaining things and at a speed slow enough that I can follow. Thank you for what you do. You are a great teacher.
Such a good carpenter!
Such a good teacher!
You explained this method so well ! Thanks for this tutorial, I didn't know these tricks.
It really isn't amazing how long it took us to figure this out.. Thank you for that.. You just allowed me to learn this after twelve years of doing it
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.
Thank you!
Wow that blows my mind , such a simple trick I never would of thought 😊
I've learned so much from you Spencer. You and Richard from Finish Carpentry TV are my go to's....
I appreciate all your help.
Very simple fix for a complex problem.. as always great work
This was one of the most fascinating miter and casing videos I've ever watched. Thank you for this!!
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
Absolutely brilliant...60 years of cursing like a drunken sailor gone!
I’ve used this a few time after I saw it in an old video of yours. Works a treat! Thanks again
Like an absolute mystic at 45 years of remodeling I guess I’ve been doing a lot of wiggling and padding out this technique is genius it’s so elementary duplicating the jamb situation at the saw thank you so very much for your knowledge and as always easy explanation of high quality content!
4:00 This camera angle is so satisfying!
Older video but I am great full for your knowledge and generosity to share it. I've been a carpenter for 28 years haven't done this and will try if this arises on the next job. Thank you for your contribution.
Well, done! Thoroughly and clearly explained, thank you for sharing your knowledge
This knowledge you share with us is puré gold...never heard about this technique,thanks a lot,i apreciate the time and efford you put un your videos, thanks from Spain
So ingeniously simple - when you know the trick! Thanks a lot for sharing and explaining so well!
I think you made a separate video a few years back showing this technique and I instantly subscribed! This is a great trick to add to your bag of tricks 🔥
You are GOLD my friend! Using this trick tomorrow👍🏻👍🏻
WOW.this has got to be the best video about window casing that I saw. THANK YOU!
Not only is the « in the nesting position » trick completely simple but brilliant , but the quality of your video is
A1. You speak slowly,clearly, you make sur the camera is properly placed so we see all the details of what you’re showing at Al, time, showing us from close but clear, and taking the time to explain every step of the way. I subscribed, and can’t wait to see what else you’ve be putting out there!
Yep....in oz , we call that "under cutting the mitre" works for other crappy joins as well.
Learnt that 50 years ago.
Keep up the great work.
Wow! What a super hack this is! What a great tip and trick!!! Brilliant!
Bruh your a BaaaaaD MAN these cuts greaaaaaaaaatly appreciated
That’s very nicely explained, I’ve been doing carpentry for over 30 years and maybe It look stupid but never thought of this, never seen it before, best tip ever. Thanks. Really appreciate you making these videos and sharing this kind of tips, I have to say again that is BEST TIP EVER
One of the best channels on UA-cam! You are a great teacher and I thank you for all your content.
Awesome video and awesome explanation. Just the right level of detail. Thanks!
This is why I love this channel. You have saved me
Thats a pretty neat way of tackling this. When you first showed the problem, my inital thought was to run the piece through a router table to recess the back edge of it.
Best miters video i have seen, thank you so much
as an apprentice carpenter i really enjoy your videos you are a man of so much knowledge. keep up the great work
I've watched this twice now, having consumed the information the first time. I just really like it. Great talk, bro
Thanks for making me a better DIY carpenter. I have a lot of your videos saved in a specific category for my woodworking.
Thanks for the great tip. I am just a diyer who is about to replace all doors and trim work in my house. This will help so much as nothing in this house has been put together the way I would like. My hallway is 5ft at one end and 6ft at the other and it is only 12ft in length. Thanks again.
Just amazingly simple. I’d never come across this tip before. Thanks so much.
amazing trick so simple but you'd never think about it haha
Wow. After 20 years, you just changed my game. No more compound cuts. Thanks for pointing out something so simplistic.
This is excellent instruction. Thank you for all the great tips and meticulous demonstration. Teaching is a lot of work- you do it well.
Brilliant trick, thanks for sharing and demonstrating your amazing skills!
Best tip I learned in a long time!
Wow, this is great information for a Diy as myself. I'm always looking to learn, and this is a great teaching video. Thanks, and keep up all the videos.
One of the best tips i have ever got and I have got allot thank you. Robert
Very Awesome! I'm a DIY mom who LOVES wood working and loves learning from a great teacher. I've had to learn everything about rebuilding my 89 year old house and it's been so amazing thanks to people like you who share their knowledge. Really learning how to do trim work has been a serious challenge. Most YT channels tell you a little bit about a subject but I want all the details I can get. You give such great information, it is deeply appreciated!
This was one of the most detailed moldings. It was very well explained. WOW
GREAT VID MAN THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO POST

Excellent advice my friend, you are one of the best !
Awesome idea!!!!!!!!!! 👌 thank you so much!!!! I'm 56 yrs old & never knew about this trick. (Never too old to learn) 😁
This is just absolutely SO HELPFUL. Between you, RR Builders’s, Awesome Framer, Framing Beast and Gary Katz just to name a few, your videos help me immensely. Keep them coming great content.
I'm 67 so sad for me too! At least I've never done it as a profession but suffered through plenty. I would say this is probably one of the most if not the most valuable tricks I've seen. Now I have to find something to trim.
Brotha this is a great trick. I have been going the long route for years. This is my new go to on windows. Thanks for the tip
Excellent, excellent video tips and tricks and very clear explanation.
Just amazing! Thank you! Instant Fan from the 1st video!
Appreciate all your videos. Definitely helped confirm some things I've been doing you give me some clarity. Thanks
Best tip I've seen for a while 🙂
Thankyou for passing forward these great tips and your experience.
This is a fantastic trick. I am a construction instructor at a technical college and just got done making crown molding simple for my students. This trick is the next thing I'm going to throw in their mental toolbox. Thanks!😮
I wish I had known the trick earlier in my career. Good for you teaching it!
Awesome and you are a gentleman for sharing your skills!
Thats awesome. It took a minute to wrap my brain around it, then it clicked. Thanks.
Amazing as always! I would have never thought about this. I probably would have used a router to make it flush to the wall 🤦🏽♂️ your technique seems easier and simpler with less mess
This was top notch teaching here. Supper helpful tip that is easy to comprehend. The Pro's know the tricks.
