Taking pictures of every inch of your house has always been a life saver for me (both while it’s under construction, and even after it’s finished) You never know when you need to reference some obscure part of it, to answer a question you may have.
Cutting holes in drywall for outlet boxes is pretty commonly done with a rotozip. Similar concept. But the trim router with a full bearing bottom flush bit probably looks a LOT nicer in mdf than a rotozip would.
The Forman is allowed to do whatever he wants. He has to make a surprise spot check to make sure you’re doing it right. His public loves his appearances.
I did this to my home with ⅛" hard board and ¾ MDF 14 years ago. Took a production built house up several notches trim wise and really added the craftsman touch to the lower level.
Swedish worker here. I have a tip you probably already know rgarding the door trimmings. Start with the top , not the sides. Use a level. Door should already be level but you never know. Calculate the proper width. Cut. Nail. Now take two precut lengths (with 45 degree cut) , Stick it to the floor-wall upside down with the pointy edge touching the floor. on Top of the top trim. Mark it on Top of the overlap on eye-level. Dont mix the up before making. Perfect lengths, works especially well with 45 degree angle. Remember to let it off the ground 1/8th of an inch or 3-5mm. Two measures for 6 cuts. (Top width and side position of the top trim need markings)
My stressful day has just been healed. Thank you Jason for doing the hard work of..... having a brilliant idea, planning it, buying the materials, doing the actual work, filming yourself whilst doing it, charging camera batteries, finding/cleaning/uploading SD cards, editing hours of footage, voicing it over, uploading and adding all the text, reading all the resulting emails from youtube and finally suffering all the comments about baton spacing and your utter lazyness for no using a tack hammer.... so we can just watch and don't have to do any of that.. at all... ever. Best youtube channel there is.
I like your practical approach. Just because you are a skilled woodworker doesn't mean you have to cut down your own trees, dry the wood for 5 years, mill it, etc. Use what works for the job. You're still applying a lot of skills in the use of the materials, tools, and techniques.
I agree, no one ever notice mistakes in their house unless they are actually looking for them. I have not seen one house old or new that doesn't have any building issues from floor to ceiling and walls to windows.. I love watching your videos, it reminds me of my younger days when I was building homes.
As a once upon a time trim carpenter I can already tell you nothing's ever square, level, plumbed, or evenly spaced. That's the true magic of being a trim carpenter. You did a great job.
Having piddled around in carpentry since I was just a kid w my dad I've always said I should have been a cabinet builder because I am way to particular especially where it's virtually impossible which is most places. So naturally I am gravitating to trim and finish work. Framers are a plenty but a finish/detail guy can almost name his price. Self teaching basically by learning from mistakes, I love it and people are always impressed. Patience grasshoppa...
@@Fnberg744 a Mexican taught me and self-taught after I left the carpentry business I still do some side work here and there but only for a few. I'm a plumber now but if I find the right customer or the nice people that are cool is the only time I'll do carpentry for. It's nice to be picky and try to give your best work to the better people.
That's the first time I've seen the battons installed without the headache of measuring over and over and I like it! Going to try that method with my office this summer/ fall when I get the bookcases built. Had been wondering what I would do on the other walls because I know I don't want to leave just the textured drywall. This video hit just perfect for me for the remainder of the year!
Wow it looks fabulous! I wish I was 20 years younger. This was so inspiring and you made it look simple enough and made me believe I could do this myself but my hand and back is not as strong as it was 20 years ago. Also I do agree that you have to look at the space in an artistic way and not measure your self to death. You have great ability to see what works practically in your particular area and work WITH your space. Great job!
So moody and awesome. I love it!! Must be gorgeous with all the season changes. Door came out beautifully. Love the video and the paced and detailed explanation. Found my new fave channel 😍😍
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
OMG, the tip about batten spacing is awesome. Makes total sense. I've made myself crazy trying to figure out exact spacing. Also, cracking up at the panning shot face reveal at 29:30.
I truly love this video because you actually walk it down step-by-step and pretty much in Laymans terms… I’ve been following your channel for years and it was quite a while ago I doubt you even remember it I asked you at one point if you were a finish carpenter because I heard something that you say and you said “of sorts”
This video was great. I've done wainscoting a lot. But I still managed to pick up a few tips. Outlets can really be a pain. When I can, I relocate them to the baseboard and mount them sideways. Your office turned out fantastic. Thank you.
I laughed so hard at your photo bomb in the 360 panorama at the end. Awesome job, came out beautifully. Been wanting to do this for my dining room and definitely will eventually.
Learning to eyeball it when dealing with construction is a skill you have to have. Here in the UK where all the old houses are wonky AF pulling something in plumb and true may well look terrible you have to kinda fudge it so it sits right.
Another stellar job. The dimensions you chose for the trim soften the height of the ceilings and make the space so much more inviting to work and create. Great choice on the color scheme
Perfect timing! I've been thinking of doing something similar in the foyer. That's a great space you have there. I'd love to walk in there and bark. That echo effect brings out the little kid in me. Lol.
The beginning explanation in the finished area truly looks like one of your thumbnails the room makes you look like you shrunk yourself. Normally I'm not one for dark rooms but it looks real nice.
Looks great! I am going to do this .... smaller scale in our hallway... the wainscotting is from the 50's and needs to go. Thanks for the Idea! Tool Tip: Use Electrical Wall Boxes with Adjustable Brackets, turn a screw to adjust the depth of the box. Brings them right front and center when you want to add to the wall and if you ever go back to flat walls, just turn the screw the other way to suck them back in. less than 5 bucks at Home Depot....
looks great, I would have never noticed the difference in the spacing. I do love that you put liquid nail where its not needed. I'd have probably done the same.
Wow this turned out beautifully. I went a measured but I didn’t do a complicated wall with layers like this. Well done. They sell some boxes with a screw adjustment allowing you to move the box in and out by screwing or unscrewing one screw in the corner.
I appreciated the advice about eye balling the vertical slats between the windows. That just makes more sense than trying to measure everything and the result is excellent. The way you cut that quarter inch groove in the top and bottom boards so everything slotted in was really professional. I would have just glued regular board to the wall with no groove haha! Thanks for the tutorial man!
Great video. At my house I used 1/4” hardboard glued and stapled to the wall, staples covered by battens. All painted with a brush to try to mimic the look of a wood a little bit more. The groove on the top and bottom trim is awesome. Would have kept me from having to add a top cap.
So I remember you mentioning about going with the very small trim around the window sill there. I can see why you would do that. It doesn't distract from the battens etc. It's much much smaller in size so it doesn't bring your eye to it versus going with the full size battens in conjunction which would detract.
Bro. Epic. Beautiful. I’m looking forward to seeing the entire space done and furnished. Are you going to show the outside? Did you build a stand alone on your property?
What colors did you use? I'm in the process of redoing my office. Seeing the color combo of grays you used i love it and would love to paint my office the same colors. Awesome work.
I watch a lot of DIY shows on here and regularly TV, gotta admit your is the best, great job in front and behind the camera as well! Your craftsmanship is 2nd to none! 🧰⚒
Hey Jason, this looks amazing. I had 2 questions...Because the space was already so well done, WHY did you use the 1/4 mdf on the wall, vs just put the casing on? Question 2 was, where did you find 1/4 MDF I have looked everywhere and it is either really expensive (96.00 a sheet) or only in bulk? I really like the methodology and it is really clean! Thanks for any help.
Very nice work...as always. And man, that whole 'office space' is pretty pretty sweet. I know its not your thing but I would have loved to have seen how the painter managed that.
Looks great. Thanks for mentioning extending the outlet boxes. Whenever you have a combustible wall the outlet box has to be flush with the face of the wall. The 1/4 pieces you mentioned are call box extensions.
I wish I could do work like this. You made this look simple and amazing but I know it's not plus it takes tools and money which I have none of. Another great video. I love your content man take it easy.
It was at this point... @30:03 I realised ( yes I'm British 'its with an 's' not a 'z' ) after just finding your channel and loved the humor you reminded me of John C. Reilly. it was the " That wouldn't look cool!" ...
Great video sir. Pro tip from a finish carpenter of 40 plus years. I will typically layout all trim components directly onto the wall before starting. Often times moving an electrical box an inch or two will save you from a notch in the trim or a weird sized panel. The 1/4” panel means the drywall repair doesn’t need to be perfect. Just remember if your putting trim close to a box, the electrical trim plate is bigger than the box. 🫣
After " the Forman" came in to check stuff out, you got little bare footy prints in the sawdust. Like a little shop elf was sneaking around at night. Super cute!
That’s a cool looking room for any occasion. Very nice job…painters. 😆 Just Kidding 😆 You did a nice job too Bourbon Moth. Very entertaining videos, thank you for taking the time to create such cool & fun content.
Great work. Only thing I wouldn't have done was the MDF on the window sills. Just takes one time if your kid leaves a window open and a rainstorm happens and it's all trashed. I did almost exactly this in my old home in Louisiana using 1/4" underlayment plywood. I probably spent a bit more because the sanding required to get it smooth was intense, but otherwise I was happy with the result. I'm just more specific on when I use MDF in high-humidity environments.
Great video as usual. Doing a bathroom now and I opted for beadboard panels vertically, with 6" baseboards and a 4" cap, all in a dark bluish gray and white walls at the top. Prefer a color at the top but given it's a small bathroom, I didn't want to make it feel smaller. Doing a bifold barn door since I don't have room for a traditional sliding one... Didn't even know there was hardware for bifold doors.
I do this for dry wall not sure how well it will work with MDF. I stick cut off screws in the outlet screw holes, stick the drywall where its going to go and press hard around the outlet. This puts holes in the drywall, you then take a spare outlet box, with another couple of cut off screws and place it in the holes, mark around the box and then cut out the opening.
Hola! 🖐 That is one of the most dramatic one day transformations I have seen in a while. That room looks amazing. What more do you have ahead to complete this new office? Looking forward to the next installment, keep up the awesome work! Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
So right about painting!!! Well painting is not that bad with a spray gun, but all the taping and covering and above all SANDING!!! I still do it myself because well.... Im cheap lol
Great video! Bought myself a set of those Suizan saws on your recommendation..... And yes, your office space is deffo increased from a very nice place to a stunning one..... Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching your channel ver much. Greetings from The Netherlands. 👍
I do quite a bit of trim and I've come full circle back to butt joints, flat stock like base gets pressure fitted and glued with a biscuit in the joint and I glue crown in the joint of course but also on the back side with something like a couple of paint stir sticks spanning the seam.
As a kitchen installer I switched from a 45 at the seam to a 22.5 so the sharp edge is less sharp and the seam is even more hidden. Try it you’ll like it, I promise
So glad you did this video. I’m putting decorative wainscoting in a bathroom and wanted it taller. Was trying to figure out how to add height with the top and bottom rails and will be using the router on my rails!
I think another good example of varied sizing/spacing is when you do a tall, thinner, dresser and intentionally make larger/smaller drawers, but they end up looking all the same in size because of the angle/height from where we stand, and look down from.
Great job, Jason. Looks great: and that color you used on the trim and batten complements the room and style perfectly. 👍🏽 What paint and color is it? If you wouldn’t mind sharing?
Taking pictures of every inch of your house has always been a life saver for me (both while it’s under construction, and even after it’s finished) You never know when you need to reference some obscure part of it, to answer a question you may have.
I worked for a custom home builder for a short while and this is exactly what I did! I actually did very slow video walk-throughs and used them often.
Flush trim router for the windows/outlets is GENIUS. 15ish years of doing handyman work (Now doing carpentry) I never thought of that lol
Cutting holes in drywall for outlet boxes is pretty commonly done with a rotozip. Similar concept. But the trim router with a full bearing bottom flush bit probably looks a LOT nicer in mdf than a rotozip would.
The Forman is allowed to do whatever he wants. He has to make a surprise spot check to make sure you’re doing it right. His public loves his appearances.
Foreman's rules always apply!
Him coming out in his pajamas is the OPPOSITE of unprofessional. He's coming to check in on you at all hours of the day or night! XD
🤣🤣🤣
Me and My dad saw you buying this material in Albany. It was cool to see you in person. We enjoy your videos
I did this to my home with ⅛" hard board and ¾ MDF 14 years ago. Took a production built house up several notches trim wise and really added the craftsman touch to the lower level.
Every time I watch your videos I learn new information. Thanks for keeping it light, honest and entertaining. You make learning fun!
Swedish worker here. I have a tip you probably already know rgarding the door trimmings.

The spacing on the looks wonderful and I would have never noticed... I am actually considering that you may just be a wizard.
looks mint! routering the top of that base is a great idea. will definitely be doing that from now on
29:27 is why the foreman has to check in every now and then even in pajamas. Ha/ha awesome detail love it!
Perfect timing! I've been thinking of doing something similar in the foyer.

What colors did you use? I'm in the process of redoing my office. Seeing the color combo of grays you used i love it and would love to paint my office the same colors. Awesome work.
Also wondering about the color.
I watch a lot of DIY shows on here and regularly TV, gotta admit your is the best, great job in front and behind the camera as well! Your craftsmanship is 2nd to none! 🧰⚒

wow one clean looking office. awesome work.
only detail is the white window trim that stands out.
I wish I could do work like this. You made this look simple and amazing but I know it's not plus it takes tools and money which I have none of. Another great video. I love your content man take it easy.
usually promos are annoying....Thanks for promoting something you use all the time. heading out to the bbq to flip burgers with my suizan! genius!lol

Wrapping straight Outta Locash! Awesome work and a great look for the new Office.
At 3:21 is that bad to use MDF that close to the door? Will it not be exposed to some moisture or condensation?
Absolutely wonderful video. I'm redoing my basement shop and going to incorporate this excellent idea, Thanks
Great video as usual. Doing a bathroom now and I opted for beadboard panels vertically, with 6" baseboards and a 4" cap, all in a dark bluish gray and white walls at the top. Prefer a color at the top but given it's a small bathroom, I didn't want to make it feel smaller. Doing a bifold barn door since I don't have room for a traditional sliding one... Didn't even know there was hardware for bifold doors.
I have thinking on doing this kinds of walls at home. Thanks, now I know exactly how I should do it.
A really good video.

I really like the tall baseboard in that space!
Great color choice for the paint! Looks great in such a large open room.
Hola! 🖐 That is one of the most dramatic one day transformations I have seen in a while. That room looks amazing. What more do you have ahead to complete this new office? Looking forward to the next installment, keep up the awesome work! Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
It definitely looks fantastic! Love the subtle color variants from changing of light in camera motion. Awesome!
I'm loving the color....and the design is awesome as well. ❤
So right about painting!!! Well painting is not that bad with a spray gun, but all the taping and covering and above all SANDING!!! I still do it myself because well.... Im cheap lol
I love it BMoth. I am planning on board and baton at my new house so this is super helpful.
Great work, Jason. Looking forward to a full tour video when you are done.
Lowering the outlets and rotating them would be helpful to get rid of some of those extra obstacles if you do something similar in the future.
LOL! That might be the tallest B&B I've ever seen. ;) Looks wonderful! Great job!
When you filled your nail holes, did you also caulk every joint along the battens? Did your painter do that?
Great video! Bought myself a set of those Suizan saws on your recommendation..... And yes, your office space is deffo increased from a very nice place to a stunning one..... Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching your channel ver much. Greetings from The Netherlands. 👍
Looks beautiful as always! I love to watch your channel!
I do quite a bit of trim and I've come full circle back to butt joints, flat stock like base gets pressure fitted and glued with a biscuit in the joint and I glue crown in the joint of course but also on the back side with something like a couple of paint stir sticks spanning the seam.
The batten spacing is not only correct, it looks great. Each section should be evenly spaced, but it may and will be different section to section.
The foreman came out in his pajamas to check on my work, HA! Love it Sir! You are always killing it with your content!
I use the scraping blade on my multi tool for cutting drywall. It cuts way down on dust. Sharpen it up a bit and it cuts pretty fast and smooth.
Looks great, but have to ask, did you really need the 1/4" MDF on the walls? Couldn't you have just gone with the original drywall with battens?
I also wondered what the benefit was of having the MDF panels
Routing out the windows is so cleaver - never would have thought to do that.
As a kitchen installer I switched from a 45 at the seam to a 22.5 so the sharp edge is less sharp and the seam is even more hidden. Try it you’ll like it, I promise
That looks excellent. I DID NOT notice the panel space
It looks amazing painted with that color
Stunning! Love the colour too.
Really does look great! Hate that MDF dust! Stay well!
So glad you did this video. I’m putting decorative wainscoting in a bathroom and wanted it taller. Was trying to figure out how to add height with the top and bottom rails and will be using the router on my rails!
The next thing in this room is a library ladder for the super high built-in. What a difference the wainscotting made here. I could live in this room!
I think another good example of varied sizing/spacing is when you do a tall, thinner, dresser and intentionally make larger/smaller drawers, but they end up looking all the same in size because of the angle/height from where we stand, and look down from.
Great job, Jason. Looks great: and that color you used on the trim and batten complements the room and style perfectly. 👍🏽
What paint and color is it? If you wouldn’t mind sharing?
Second that
You have a cathedral as an office space? Very therapeutic watching Jase. Looks good.
Looks great. Thank you for sharing your woodworking talent.
