    Hey Richard I don't know if you will see this but I have been watching your videos for about 3 years now since i started doing carpentry and woodworking, I don't ever comment but your worth it. I really admire your passion for our trade and want you to know that all the hard work you do is noticed and you are one of the few carpenters/youtubers that really drew me into the trade along with Essential Craftsman, Perkins Brothers and a few others. Your videos have come a long way man and have had a major impact on me and I genuinely thank you for all the great tips you have shared and headaches you have saved me from lol. I hope you and You're family are thriving brother🤘. Keep up the good work.

      Don't know if the "hack" comment was in jest, but as an electrician, I can tell you I've seen "HACK" work across the trades. Richard is NOT a hack. All my residential work is in custom homes, multi-million dollar homes. Nobody takes this much time and effort to not only produce quality but also show how it is done. Nobody works hard at junk work. Sometimes the high quality finished product is really simple to achieve. Sometimes it's an engineering mess. Never equate simplicity with quality. Excellent channel/work Richard.

    The trim package is that house is breath taking. The dentil crown is very unique. I manufactured poplar moldings several years ago. We produced a similar applied dentil block made of poplar. I think we sold them wholesale for around 2.00 per block at the time. It was actually very profitable at the time. I think most of the blocs now are made of urethane or Fypon. This being the case, it’s great that you are making these videos for future generations because you never know what kind of advancements for architecture and installations will be made. Many products are now formed in a mold rather than being carved by true craftsman. The same may hold true for how these products become integrated into building panels.

    Very nice! Love to see this craftsmanship and combined with the things Brent explains in his videos make it even more interesting 👌🏼
    By the way, regarding the bent cap: here in the Netherlands you see a lot of these bent skirts next to stairs in old houses. There the caps are never separate, the skirt is made from one plank and then the cap is shaped (back in the day with curved planes).

    Awesome work and thank you for teaching us how to do carpentry. I'm currently working on renovating my house and my trim looks amazing because of your videos.
