    DUDE!! I can't tell you how much time and trouble this video has saved me! I watched other DIY wainscoting vids and they're all building the squares off-wall, using tons of adhesive and crap!! Yikes! With a simple spacer block and brad nailer: bam! bam! done!
    Thanks for this!

      Agreed. Other videos had me thinking i needed a laser level and tripod and somehow made it seem a little overwhelming. This shows just how straightforward it is. Wish he’d show how he notches/finishes chair rail if it is thicker than the door or window casing. I know how it’s done, but I’d like to get his process

    Awesome video. I believe moldings, crown, wainscotting and chair rail add so much to the elegance of the house. I've had alot of things done to the houses that I have owned over the years. Now that I am retired, I'm doing them myself. Some 10 years ago I was having some finished carpentry done and I asked the carpenter to put raised chair rail panels in my dining room.
    I was astonished that he "built" the panels just like you did. Amazing. Again, great video.
    PS: I can't do math in my head I went to public school. Great!

    I love your videos and even though I've been doing contracting for 15 years I'll still watch your videos because your approach is very clean and straightforward.
    I just wanted to point out to anyone reading this that even though we see chair rail installed at these heights in modern houses. It is WAY TO HIGH. With respect to classical architecture where this trim style originates, a chair rail even on a 10ft ceiling should be no higher than about 28-30 inches high. While there is no dead set rule and ultimately it's what the customer wants to see... It is supposed to follow the proper proportions of Greek Pillars in the Grecian orders. Specifically beginning with the Doric order where it originated.
    The most agreed upon rule of thumb is that if a chair rail be set ideally at about 29 inches on a 10 ft ceiling, it should go up no more than 3/4 - 7/8 of an inch for every foot higher the ceiling is above 10 ft. So to have a chair rail at 40-46 inches up youd ideally need a ceiling height of more than 20 ft.

    You are a great instructor. Easy to follow. No distracting music & not a wasted word. Folks watching this will know exactly what to do. You got me - I’m your newest subscriber. I often use CA glue to attach the corners, instead of the toe nail. This can save material if a wonky grain pops the nail thru the side of thin moulding. This also helps if you make the frames off site (on another floor, etc.). Public school taught me to make use of available resources. Yep, I have that calculator to use it. Curious why you didn’t start with the dimensions of the frames in the other room? Hopefully the client also hired a painter. If yes, count your blessings that you’re the finish carpenter & not the painter. 😅

    For those DIYers like myself, be cautious of any wires behind your walls. Getting measurements for framing positioning was beautiful. I would of smeared some liquid nail in back of the moulding, a very thin coat. Thanks for video

    • @patjackson1657
      @patjackson1657 4 роки тому +4

      Wires behind the walls are by code required to be 1.5" behind the framing surface, I think. I take your point. Not everything you encounter in a home enhancement project is going to meet code. Better a lve chicken than a dead duck!

    Great video; thank you. One thing to make your day a little easier - instead of subtracting 8 from the total distance and then subtracting one from the number of panels, multiplying by 4 and subtracting that, just add one to the number of panels and multiply x 4 and subtract.
    ie, for 5 panels, instead of: 93 - 8 - (4 x 4) = 69
    just do: 93 - (6 x 4) = 69

    • @powdertrax9742
      @powdertrax9742 2 роки тому +1

      Once all of the pieces have been nailed into place, it’s best to go around every frame with caulking on the inside and outside edge prior to painting. It will not only help adhere the moulding to the walls but the finished product looks much better

    Actually, one you've determined how many boxes you want, it's actually one additional space because you have to account for the spaces outside the end boxes. Four boxes=5 spaces, or 5 boxes=6 spaces and so on and so on. I find it easier to calculate that way. Also, If wall is 90" with 4" spaces between 5 boxes, simply subtract 24" (4" x 6) from 90" which should put you at 66". Then by dividing 66" by 5 you'll end up with 13.2" boxes.

    • @floofsale
      @floofsale 2 роки тому +4

      but he already subtracted 4 from one side and 4 from the end so his reference point s start and end at the boxes so 5 boxes.. in between them will have 4 spaces.. ur way is correct as well but both methods work well

    What’s the cost to a home owner to hire someone to do this?
    Forgot to mention I’m a long time lurker, new sub. Loving the work you are doing! Thank you for posting!

      It depends on how many hours of work is required. If you charge by the hour it can be easier to establish what it will cost.

    Your videos are very inspiring to watch. I love your detailed explanation. You always cover the parts most people run into....these little tricks might seem trivial, but if you're doing it and make those little mistakes they add up in $$$$ and time quickly...I wish you lived in Cali I would hire you, but because you don't I'm doing it myself.

    Great tips in this video, thanks man!. Those 4" blocks make it much easier.
    Do you ever find a need to glue these mouldings? Or are a few pins enough?

    Don't shoot your nails in the groove it's a pain in the ass for your painter to fill and finish
