    I respect finish carpenters so much. I am retired now but I spent 40 years doing flooring and baseboards. Wish you were around when I started out. I also wish my hands looked like yours. My knuckles are bigger then the tires on your truck. Keep up the great work and teaching videos!

      I would keep the flat part of the base straight, and only miter the design up top, then cut off the design on top of a small piece and add it on.. That way don't have any cuts on the big flat part...

Thanks Richard for such an informative and useful video. I encourage anyone to try this for baseboard returns.

    Theres an alternative to the 1st method that i prefer for those big moulding, cut 45 untill you reach the flat section then straight down. The next piece you cut 45 and then remove the flat part. When its installed the cut line is only straight down following the last patern not 45 degree down in the flat section

    • @agoodballet
      @agoodballet 4 роки тому

      I agree with that also. I think it just looks much cleaner and not as eye grabbing as the 1st option. It’s a small detail and just looks clean. The 1st option does have its place in some areas but #2 is just a clean termination of the trim. It does not work with anything that has a wider top that protrudes like a chair rail etc. because the end will be angled but with flat trim it’s perfect.

    Put the guard back on your chopsaw my friend! It's there for a reason. I had an accident when I was a newbie 20 years ago because my boss took his guard off. If he had it on there my finger would still be ok. Also, let the blade stop before you lift it back up. Safer and leaves a cleaner cut.

      In total agreement. Been in the trade for 38 years and have never felt the guard has to go. You learn to deal with it. Such a ignorant excuse for a so called professional! He needs to acknowledge this is the stupidest thing you can do to your chopsaw. But because this is his video, he will never admit he's wrong. Hope he gets into a lawsuit over it as this would be proof in the pudding as they say. He has videoed a perfect case for the prosecutor.

  • @Aldark22405
    @Aldark22405 4 роки тому

    Question for any of you experienced baseboarders. So, use a return when you have to "stop a baseboard at any point" - would you do return cuts when your edge stops at door trim - or - just butt the end of the board against the door trim? I'm about to take a stab at doing my first floor as a rookie, so been looking for pro tips vs the general "I can do this" job.
    Thanks!!
    Great videos!

    • @fatweeb1545
      @fatweeb1545 3 роки тому +1

      Depends on how thick your baseboard is and whether it sticks out beyond the door trim IMHO. If it sticks out at all, a return will look much nicer.

    Even though I am an old carpenter I still learn stuff from you. like the glue video for instance. Maybe you have already made a video on setting up your miter saw to cut true I don't know. But I have seen alot of folks that buy a saw and start trying to cut without adjusting there saw first. To do the returns you show here the saw needs to be dead on. Just saying. Keep up the good work.

    Hey Richard, I wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos and also wanted to encourage you to continue posting more. The how-to's are awesome, but I also just love seeing your work. One suggestion would be to do a quick 5-10minute video at the end of your day's work just to show us what you were up. I think that would be awesome in addition to your great how-to vids.

I never saw anyone return a baseboard by cutting it long 45 diagonally. (Picture framed). Is this something done on the east or west coast?

  • @Carpenters_Canvas
    @Carpenters_Canvas 5 років тому

    You have to have respect for the tools your using, I usually lift the guard , in your and most cases my right hand that triggers the saw , I’ll hold it with my thumb while the rest of my hand is secure to the handle . They do make vented guards so that you can see the actual edge of the saw blade however it’s really a pain in the but to see , so lifting or in this case removing the saw guard is necessary for accurate cutting , , as long as u respect the tool and how dangerous it can be your fine removing it , I should also note that dewalt. chop saws are kinda a pain to change the blade , you have to almost remove the guard to change , it’s only two screws actually loosened to change it but don’t hate man , this man is a skilled professional and I see all of fingers still . Keep up the good work bro I too pride myself on my skill like you do , that’s what I watch u , I have learned a few cool tricks from you

    I know this is an older video but found it as I'm just about to do this. I like the option that goes towards to the floor but dislike the cut line right across the flat part of the baseboard. Would it not be better to cut the flat part straight and just 45 the moulded part ?

  • @CameronSharpPottery
    @CameronSharpPottery 6 років тому +7

    Another coo way is to eliminate the long miter joint on the flat by only returning the curve part that was traditionally a base cap. This keeps the flat all the way. Looks almost identical without that big diagonal seam across the flat. Glad to see in later video that you put your guard back on the saw.

    Im cutting returns for pvc baseboards but not looking as good as it would with wood. Any ideas or go with no returns with pvc?

    I'm a finish carpenter myself your videos are really good thanks. Also a watch collector so I have to ask what kind of watch is that? Thanks.

    Do you have an article or video on measuring, marking and cutting baseboards or trim? I find that to be my biggest struggle.
