Building a Wainscot Unit - Interior Trim Work

[@gregoryeastwood9068]

I’m 71/ a semi active carpenter, furniture maker. I’m learning nuances and spatial reasoning techniques from you. You’re good, kid. You belong on HGTV....you rock.

[@quietwarf1019]

I've built much more elaborate woodwork in multimillion dollar homes and I still watch you. One should never stop learning or think that someone with less experience has nothing to offer. Keep doing your thing we I'll watch

This was like the most negative compliment I've ever read lol.

A patronizing comment. I think the expression is 'Damning with Faint Praise'.

We have no idea how lucky we are to live in a time where such excellent in-depth content is freely available. Not very long ago, if you wanted to learn how to do something, you either had to know the "right guy" firsthand, or hope like heck your library happened to have a good book on the subject.

[@loserplanet]

We used this series to build our window jams 2 years ago. Now we are actually building a wainscoting. So excited.

[@marywegrzyn506]

Never mind the idiots, I think you do an excellent n very professional job teaching. I love this project so much. I have always wanted to learn how to build it. So, I thank you very much.

[@Patrick-857]

It's great that he's doing work on his own house and is using the opportunity to go slowly and take us through every step of the process.

Thank you

He basically builds a face frame, so any videos about face frame building are useful.

[@Burrito666666]

I'm loving these series , I live in central california and not a whole lot of homes have wainscoting in my opinion it adds a touch of elegance and class to any living space and simply love it .

[@danr3055]

It's taking too long lol... I'm enjoying the depth of your videos. The window framing part helped me out a lot! Keep sharing your builds please.

[@douglasstrach9715]

I just want to say that I think your a fantastic carpenter and and even better teacher of the craft! What you do and how you do it is a lost art and whomever taught you was a master themselves! Please keep the videos coming, they have taught me so much and I keep learning something new from you. My grandfather was a master carpenter and owned his own shop that he built custom furniture out of. Unfortunately he died before I could learn much from him. So your videos of what you do is awesome! Bless you and keep them coming!

[@9087125498172345]

Absolutely blown away by the quality of this guys work. The finish on his jobs are flawless.

[@m.a.r.services5720]

Take all the episodes you need Richard. I’m really enjoying the detail lessons. I’ve learned a lot from you. Thanks man.

[@michaelabelaj1581]

The people who are saying these videos take too long lack patience, true craftsmanship, and attention to detail. I've done lots of trim work as an extreme DIYer, but it's very rare to find a pro with the level of detail and pride of work that you do. I appreciate the in-depth series and have learned a lot from watching this, thanks...solid f'ing work!!!

[@cristenvoorhies6310]

As a handy homeowner I appreciate you taking such time and detail. Love this series! Thanks!!

[@davidgerardgeraghty9890]

In your own time Richard, your patience and detail are being given freely and we really appreciate your time.

[@scaira60]

Dont listen too the haters, Your a Great finish carpenter I did finish for 35yrs Im now leagally blind & retired I love watching you work, Thank you & God Bless you & Your family

[@vickymartine9799]

This is a series not a one video how to. Take ur time and don’t listen to the impatient fools. We are here to learn step by step. You are doing a great job. Love the videos so far! Thanks for taking the time to show us!

[@junior555]

Hi. I'm a photographer from the UK, who has been watching DIY videos since the lockdown. I salute you sir, you have got me hooked on learning a new trade. Your casual laid-back style, with attention to the finest detail, is absolutely brilliant.

[@JeremiahL1616]

Im a finish Carpenter and watch you daily to hone my craft. Such good tips and never afraid to just do it! Thanks 😊

[@williamcarboni2614]

This series is Fantastic, learning a ton of info keep them coming. Great things take time, don't rush. Thanks

[@timcaron9049]

Mill work cannot be rushed. If you want to get it done in a couple of hours, your project will reflect with the time and effort. Great work. Waiting for the next video. Love this series.

[@howardlaunius7484]

Enjoying this series and learning some great tips. Also, thanks for not spending half of the video, talking about what you did on the previous one.

[@solypsomancer9540]

Thank you for continuing to do this. When I was a kid my dad did stain grade trim work part time as a side gig. I was his helper for 4 years. He didn't stop to explain what he was doing or why. There were just jobs I could do, jobs I could help him do and jobs where I had to sit back and watch. Doing a job is enough work by itself. Explaining the why and the what is slower and more difficult than just doing the job. Thank you for your instruction, time and effort. I really appreciate your videos and your process. Thank you.

[@FenellaBeach]

This is a gold standard series. Thanks Richard, you’re a natural teacher - great pace, very clear and everything fully explained. Bathroom refurb, I’m ready to start.....

[@dompellegrini5520]

Take Your Time! Your detail explaination's and examples are PRICELESS to those of us who are just learning. So, Take Your Time......

[@tomvan2468]

The people who think it's taking to long are the ones who know what to do but those of us who dont this is PERFECT. Thanks for doing this series Richard

[@bryanjeresano227]

The longer it takes the better I absorb all the information and lessons. And I go back to binge watching your whole channel. (I know, newbie here). This is my Netflix lol

[@octaviogallardo2095]

My names octavio g Im doing my first wainscot and I want to say its been a challenge but thanks to your videos ill be paying my bills for next month. Your are truelly a professional

[@keithrhoda7128]

As always, well done. I’ve been a trim carpenter for about 30 to 32 years, and I still enjoy watching your videos and pick up a few trips here and there.

[@FenellaBeach]

This is a gold standard series. Thanks Richard, you’re a fabulous teacher - great pace and everything fully explained. Bathroom refurb, I’m ready to start.....

[@alanmcgrath2009]

Excellent tutorial Richard, obviously it's going to take longer than normal because your explaining stuff showing tips etc, but most of all your having to work in the real world as well to pay the bills like us all, anyway I like the no rush way of doing things myself less mistakes, keep it going I'm loving the whole experience.

[@watcherofwatchers]

Detailed videos like these are rare gems on KZbin. I sincerely thank you for the effort you put into them, and would love more on other topics as well.

[@Robert8455]

You are a good teacher. Your soft spoken manner and honesty. I didn't know about the sliding trick on the Kreg clamp. Cool

[@donaldpyles2891]

Another informative video and worth the time to watch. Don't worry about the criticizers, even mentioning their comments shows them you read it and fuels them for the next ignorant comment. If I already knew how to do it, I wouldn't watch but since I am watching, teach me!

[@huckman1132]

I'm 68 and still want to be as good as you when I grow up , great job

[@tinysand3517]

don't worry about those guys, keep doing what you are doing, I love watching your channel.

[@357lockdown]

I'm loving this series Rich, thanks so much. The only thing better than your content is the easy manner you have of teaching, and the way you get everything you want to get across to us so well. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into helping people you don't even know.

[@AlejandroMorales-in9nx]

Man, do not worry about what others say. Keep up the good work. I'm hoping to do this in my kids rooms. Got the tool now 👍

[@melodycynar3838]

I think you do a great job teaching and there should be no hurry. Quality videos take time and there is a lot more than people realize in filming good shots and audio and editing. You also run a business and have a family! Keep doing what you are doing!

[@Thetagamma1914]

Because of you, I was able to do my home office myself. Wish I could post pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and skills.

[@lovera3878]

I just caught this video. i am planning some wainscoting for my staircase. The measuring part is quite important. since i will be working with angles even more so. Ill wait until i have watched the whole series before i get started. Slow is good since not all of us are carpenters, i am not. . You are my teacher . Take your time.

[@rebadaddy]

You have given me the courage to do my own wainscoting project. I am at a good start and have the frame up on one wall now. Taking my time with all the measurements. Even with the first panel up I can see things that I should have done differently. There is a steep learning curve on these things but your videos and experience are its own best teachers. I would love to show you a picture of my project when it is done.

[@WhistleLad]

Thanks for being so thorough and explaining each reason for why you make your decisions. Those nuggets of info are priceless! I’ve been wanting to offer wainscot service to clients but haven’t had the confidence until this series. Looking forward to the rest of it!

Wow, great job in building the first wall. Thank you for taking tine to explain each step along the way. I feel confident once I see how you do things. You are a great resource for anyone who has some basic skills. Of course all the tools you have are great asset however, its a big investment for someone who is improving their own house. You are very kind to take the time to show us you skills.

[@bonniebarber6114]

I use a couple handscrew clamps to keep boards upright while pocket-holing so you don't have to balance the board while screwing into the board. Great series!

[@dcdci]

Really enjoying this series so far and looking forward to the rest of the episodes. I’ve been installing high end kitchens for more than 40 years. As part of the trim detail in many of them I’ve done a lot of wainscot over the years. So far your series has been spot on with how I approach the process with one exception. I always use full height stiles on the ends of the wainscot units. I guess it’s the cabinet guy in me but I think it looks more finished. It’s also easy to scribe the full height stile to an out of plumb corner before assembly.

[@Forniteguy5611]

Thanks for thanking the time to teach us. I’ve learn so much from you.

My only suggestion would be a set of "door bucks" to hold your bottom rail vertical as you handle the stiles.

[@rehabbychris974]

[@guerradan1958]

Richard May I suggest that you make stand up jig to hold the rails perpendicular to the ground. This way you should be able to just slide the stiles in place. This way it will make assembly easier. Richard I never knew how to make out the boxes as you do. Appreciate ask your teachings. Thanks

Around 7:00 when you’re starting your cuts, I notice that you trim a little off the end of the boards first. Is that so that you’re sure you have a square end?

Floors that drop three inches, walls that veer back three inches. Walls and ceilings that look like a roller coaster. Try doing finish work in these conditions. lol 😂
