Painful to watch

That’s great!

I have both Festool dominos, but I prefer Mafell’s duel doweling system. Up to 1/2”x3” dowels two at a time. It is what I use for doors because you can offset and stack the dowels. I use the dominos for furniture.

😅im a joiner and thats alot of weight on them joins

I did my time under a old builder who was in his 70s, alot of techniques on building have been replaced for doing things faster The problem is alot of stuff thats built now is whacked up and not built correctly.

A wicked shoulder workout

Retired trim carpenter here and i say use a good quality copping saw with a quality blade. Or a barrel type jig saw with a copping base and hog it out. Get a nicholson # 50 pattern makers rasp and a rat tail file to fine tune .Do that for 42 years ask me how i know

Msf? Yuk

That is sexy! Nicely done.

CLEAN!!!

Always acclimate lumber. Also, I pre paint always before install. And never caulk. Wood will move as you know. When prepainted if or when they move you don't notice. That being said its a beautiful looking job!!

Those hex ring braces were actually sold in catalogs' back in the early 1900s

The columns are from Egypt

If your using 3/4 " dont you have to cut each piece back 3/4 before pocket holing for it to fit?

Keep up the good work brother! I really look up to your work and get a lot of hints from you!

Make it a spring snap ring and you have yourself a self tightening earthquake friendly joint!

Use it as the face of fireplace-mantel, skirt the bathroom lights above the mirror, picture frame, mirror frame.

The question is is it cost effective versus buying something that is already manufactured 🤔🥴😩👊

The old carpenters were definitely master craftsmen. 🤷‍♂️🇨🇦💝🇺🇸🙏👍

I used to be an electrician several decades ago. My question is this. When did the code change below 18" fro electrical outlets especially in Texas.

Cheers to knowledge growth! Field Guide to American Houses told me this was Queen Anne despite being masonry...up where I'm from all wooden style here, but masonry versions are common in southern US.

See a lot of carpentry that uses biscuits on the top mitre,.. my question is how?

Gothic Nightmare

The Munsters

A lot of old 70s homes I've worked in had outlets in the floor... imagine a carpeted floor with a sharp square metal face plate in the center just waiting to slice your big toe open😮

Nice Paint line! Don't worry, the painter will get it..

Who does this a shoe molding is literally May hide the gap between the wall and the floor you don’t stack new flooring and not take the moldings off

Tons of those houses all over Massachusetts

Great piece of wood. I’d use it to Frame a bathroom mirror, or for a glass inset side table or two. Love the show. You teach me every episode. Dana / Designer in Upstate NY.

It is a design sh!t soup

This is such a waste of of time please miter your crown it works perfectly 😂

They didn’t miter 💩 100 yrs ago. That’s the secret !

Ok, but why?

Very good point on pushing the saw too hard. 50 years down the road, I can still hear my high school shop teacher bellowing out "DON'T FORCE THE STOCK, GIVE THE MACHINE TIME TO DO THE WORK!" Although we didn't realize the importance back then, he was always right and the habits he instilled are still with me today.

Cpl more layers of flooring will make it better

Just to show you..... Stop farten around and find something broken to fix, Leave that alone.

only just found out, have you even finished this house? To you armadillo comment, yes, your a dillo :) seriously, carpentry is all about math

That blade is shit!

I tried to get both of you guys to come out and work on my 100 year house, and you both blew me off. Hard to find a great craftsman in todays millwork world. I will just have to do it myself.

Do you have any videos on how you made your router jig?

The monsters. There's a staircase behind that front door where spot the dragon lives😂

Yet another reason we have building codes.

Maintenance nightmare.

Beauty!!

Another dumb idea , dont put them in skirting

"Unbalanced" is a polite way of describing the style of this house. IMHO "chaotic" would be more appropriate. Still, I somehow like it. Thanks for sharing!

Definitely the wrong solution to this problem unless the entire house is this way

Dude, you had to put that trim on the floor to transfer a mark twice, pull that trim to a sawhorse, drag your setup into every room.... Next time do what the drywallers do, use a rotozip in place. Work fewer hours, get paid less!

VICTORIAN

I have a 120 year old wooden house made of old growth Fir. Once you get past the crappy renos from the pastg100 years you start to see the quality. All the framing is in real 2inch by 4inch lumber. The s#$t is tough as iron, you couldn't build like this today, all the wood now is 2nd generation or tree farm crap. We call them pecker polls
