I'm a 63 year old trim carpenter and didn't think anybody put out this nice of work anymore. You have my respect for how nice you did that, especially with the gluing and screwing everything AND using the biscuits on the header. Absolute kudos to you young man, you have my complete respect.
agreed this is very good finish carpentry, I'm on here figuring out how to fix some REALLY BAD finish carpentry that the previous owners did on my house, they didn't even make jambs they literally just covered the gaps with mylar and painted over it...
Without question! Watching this video almost compelled to throw away all of my tools and just hire someone to do my work. The problem is finding peeps like this with the kind of skills he put on display!
@@MegaFunnyman86 that is downplaying the amount of effort it takes to do this kind of work, and no... not every carpenter out there takes the time to do things this detailed work, like clamping the mitered corners to prevent them from opening in the future? I've seen plenty of carpenters simply glue and nail and walk away.
A Master at 25 years old! So good to see young craftsman that truly take pride in their work. I was worried these skills were fading in today's society. NS Builders...please build my next home. In Missouri.
I got to admit this is one of the few videos that actually intimidates me... probably because I don't do enough of this and there aren't enough quality guys like this out there
If you're a remodeling contractor, or worker, on the east coast; you'll do this job so many times, on so many doors and windows, it becomes easy...It's not Rocket Appliances! :)...

"Hello from The Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota. My fascination with all things Swiss, craftsmanship and quality led me to you guys. Your tour of the Swiss school was the best, i had no idea but somehow not surprised. Watch making translated to building makes the German approach slack. I then enjoyed your lead carpenter trim out a window on the Newton project. At what point does Tom Casey become a master? Ha ha, like Norm you know who!." Thanks for your expertise David J
This guy is a real master carpenter at a young age. Would love to see this video captured again by someone with a little more video camera experience. There were times when it was shaky or jerky and should not have been. And at times the camera angle could have been improved for an overall better-quality video, but thanks for sharing - not everyone is a professional videographer and it takes time and experience to become one. Exceptional quality work by the carpenter Tom Casey.
Why did 299 people dislike this video? I found this video to be very insightful and the man was full of knowledge. It's nice seeing the passion for work as opposed to worrying about what time it is - like some contractors. I wish he did my original windows so I wouldn't have to watch videos on how to fix the first contractor F Up. Thanks for the FREE information on a proper window installation.
Superb craftmanship and great eye of detail. I like that oversized trim was used. It makes the end result far more impressive. Thanks for putting this together.
Good work, brother. Not production work, but craftsmanship that some carpenter will admire in forty years when there's a reno. Craftsmanship take time, time is money, but craftsmanship is also beauty and satisfaction.
Super video. Finish carpentry is the top of food chain in woodworking. The time and effort required to be able to enhance the home is what helps to sell the home. Thanks for sharing. It's fantastic and it took you a long time and effort to learn. You, sir, are a true professional. Thx again.
Can’t say that I have ever seen anyone use adhesive on the backside of casing. may be a little overkill but I can appreciate it man. strive to do the best job you can possibly do. great job!!
Keeping craft alive. I see so much shoddy work out there, it makes me glad to see good finish carpentry. (Never thought of a caribeaner for the spring clamps, great idea)
Very well done! How a trim piece is terminated is one of those little tells that indicates a carpenter as someone you'd want to call back for more work.
exceptional talent and attention to detail! NS builders make sure you pay this man I have come across so many that claim to be craftsmen but couldn't shine his shoes. I would love to see how he would handle trimming a window where the walls aren't straight and the jamb extensions need to be scribed
I know this video is a couple years old, but wanted to thank you for it anyway. Lots of good info here. May prove to be useful for my upcoming house build! Cheers guys!
Do young adults really need to go to 4 year colleges and spend $300,000 for a degree in who knows what? They need to train with this guy and get a trade and learn this fine craftsmanship! Beautiful work!
6:40 when you’re putting window boxes together instead of bending over on the floor I took two blank interior hollow doors and added hinges and flip it open on 4 saw horses and have a flat surface to build boxes if slight unlevel I use a shim on corners to level and makes it so much easier to build boxes two hallow 32” doors make almost a square and it’s on saw horses so at waist level. Save your back dude I was young once and seemed fine but it will get you when you get close to or over 40.
First thing I do on a trim job is set up 5/4 MDF on horses. It’s imperative to have a good flat work bench on a job. Great attention to detail in this window trim. When I’m doing returns on aprons or pediments I always glue and pin nail the small returns before application.
@@ILikeCatsMoreThanILikeYou 5/4 MDF is pretty strong. If I use 3/4 I’ll toss a few studs down first. My biggest issue with making a bench on the job is everyone puts something on it. A flat surface always becomes cluttered. 🤷♂️
Honey, you are a thing of beauty!!! Oh not just talking about the gorgeous tattoos, watching to get an idea of how it's done, no way could come close, already have the drapes that will cover my crappy attempt, my biggest problem is the terms, all in all, a great video. Thanks for taking the time.
Beautiful finish great work, people really believe he forgot the middle part of the window, if is obvious to a regular person, the carpenter guy is definitely placing the piece of wood there, because is not showing in the video it doesn't mean it wasn't finish correctly guys, he probably spray paint everything when he was done, people always assuming 🤧 he used a brush when u could paper and tape the windows and walls when applying spray paint
I have seen many finish / trim carpenters on the job site as I am a self employed finish carpenter. I noticed you used the festool domino here i just used 15 gauge finish nails and glue the tack it to the wall. I call it a window sill you call it a stoop must be the cola, pop, soda expression depends in where you live.
WTF? This guy is amazing. I love that there are still craftsmen like him in the world. I had zero idea what he was saying but that is the point (in my mind).....LOL ... great video
Absolutely amazing workmanship! Wonderful attention to details. Plenty of tips and tricks of which I would never have thought. This fellow is a true craftsman!
To everyone saying there’s very few craftsmen like this left, that’s because there are very few people willing to pay 5 times more than the standard rate.
All the windows in our home are "trimmed" by simply wrapping the drywall and textured paint around the corner and up to the sash. It makes the house feel like it was built with Lego. I can't wait to start putting on real trim like this and give the house the style it deserves.
For all the festool haters, there is a reason he's using a lot of festool gear just look at the quality of the work. Not that a craftsman can't use other tools, just makes life easier in a lot of ways

How much would it generally cost to case 16 windows, and how long would it take for a good carpenter to do that many windows?

Gorgeous work!
It's not that there aren't guys who can't do that level of work these days, it's just most people accept a lower standard because of labor costs
I agree with previous comments....but it is also Contractors adding too much profit % on top of labor and materials per job.
The house could fall down but the window trims will still be standing.
Great job.
Give that man a raise and his own channel! Beautiful craftsmanship, a real joy to watch. Keep them coming. Thanks.

Now THERE'S a craftsman! What beautiful precision workmanship!
I’ve been doing craftsmanship for over 71 1/2 .3 years and never seen someone do it this great keep it up

Oh yeah , was wondering what those were. Brilliant.

Hard to find someone who takes that much pride in there work. Amazing job
Very well done! How a trim piece is terminated is one of those little tells that indicates a carpenter as someone you'd want to call back for more work.
this type of craftsmanship only exists on youtube and passionate DIY'ers
I cant believe how much effort was put into that. Very professional. Looks great.
It is so wonderful to see a young man do such fine work. Well done sir!
Now that's a man that knows how to do trim. Love his work. 2 thumbs up!!

My favorite window trim video out there! What happens in the space between the two windows? Wood? Drywall? Paint?
Man, that is excellent work! Titebond with screws, those joints will never split or shift and crack the paint.
You should be very proud of the work you do.. Trim work is fantastic.
Tom is very talented. Would like to see more of him on upcoming videos. Thanks for the channel.
Is this Tom Casey???? I grew up with him 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
So satisfying to watch a craftsman do his thing...Big Props.
