Casing a window in one piece

This dude is an excellent teacher!!! Its not just that he knows what he's talking about... its also in his delivery... I know he works with kids... were the beneficiaries of that!!! a 1/4 million subscribers... WELL DESERVED!!!

[@mattruth6287]

I have been a carpenter for nearly twenty years… I love learning new stuff. I learn stuff from you often. Thank you.

[@jesikaglenn4561]

I love this masterclass journey! It's as exciting when a new episode comes out as any Netflix bingeowrthy show!

[@sharpeguns1]

Better than the This old house episodes. 😜

[@TheSib]

Me too! I love it when a new video popps up on my notifications. I save them all for Saturday morning though, so I can sit and have a coffee, while watching. Like this Saturday, there’s 4 new videos to take in. It’s great, like a Netflix drop, but it’s actually something good, unlike a ‘made for Netflix’ series.

[@darkdelta]

That is just plain bad ass!!! When the whole shooting match slid in without a hitch, that should get you into the Finish Carpentry Hall of Fame!!!

[@petesimpson6248]

I love to see the passion you have for this work. it’s been far too long for me to see that again! You are a tribute to my generation of trimming carpenters! Thank you for your hard work and the very clear explanation of what you are doing and why. I think that you are a good mentor for all that are interested 👍

[@rumplestiltskinjones8097]

You are the king of preassembly. Nice. (50 yrs in woodworking including luxury custom curved staircases.). Well done man.

[@davidalvarado5803]

Richard, you are a pro brother!! Many people hate, this channel that channel is better this or that. You are a great teacher, very thorough! Great jobs and great videos. You are a craftsman!

[@theorthodox7013]

I am a custom painter, and this really is the kind of carpentry work that I enjoy painting!!! 👍

[@nikkiswenson54]

Those miter clamps are cool! I want some of those and a Milwaukie cordless router for my 66th birthday! I want to make window casings just like yours!!!

[@ciscotejada9620]

Bro I really like your work and I’m learning a lot from your videos I have 2 years doing finish carpenter and watching you and see that way how you done your work I learned a lot keep going showing more of your job it will be a pleasure to me to watch those videos

[@deweysegler]

I wanted to thank you for this series. I really enjoyi seeing the technique of a professional. I've always ben amazed how someone would have the nerve to put an entire window trim together and then put it into the window. Great Series.

[@KenHill]

It actually saves a LOT of time over fitting each piece individually into/around the window. Pre-assembled is the bomb when you can do it.

[@anand8905]

We do this all the time at work, only way to do it!

[@autobot513]

I loved this video and the others in the series..and well, all the other videos too. So many good things to say about them. You are a great teacher, you speak slowly, clearly and are to the point, you don't have hideous music playing throughout and the information delivered is just great. The only wish I have is that the videos be named so that it is easier to get to the next in a series. For instance...#1 Wainscoting, #2 Wainscoting etc. It's much easier to find what you are looking for when the title says it all. Thanks so much for what you do. I recommend your videos to any friend doing their own renovations.

[@dompellegrini5520]

Looks FANTASTIC! Very professional. Something you don't see anymore! Old School work...and an excellent tutorial too.

[@jamesbulldogwilliams457]

Thanks for the content. I've learned a lot from your videos. I've been learning from you for years now, appreciate you sharing with everyone what you know. I run my own business and strive to do as good of work as you. Every time I see a video you doing something I've never done. I look, and wait for jobs to do what it is I've learned. You help push me to be the best carpenter I can be. So thanks.

[@Carryp]

Like that your videos really show and teach the hard parts of the job, the exact opposite to those building tv-shows that gloss over the builds and go directly from the raw materials to finished product.

[@krisramjit3656]

Great video you are teaching a dying skill to the people. We are a Kitchen door window install company we do 1000's of windows and your video is awsome with perfect results.

This series has been my absolute favorite from you. You balance details and reasoning with concise editing. You're a great instructor and content provider. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@BelleChasseHome]

Thank you for sharing your work and talents. Your work has inspired me to be more patient, detailed, and precise in all my diy work at home.

[@Couldnt-think-of-a-clever-name]

I could watch this a hundred times follow it exactly and still mess it up. yours looks flawless, I really like that it’s not the stock molding every other house has.

Very nice work!! Your wife is a very lucky girl that you can do all this home work yourself!

[@raider6511]

I thought that you would put the first part of the window case, the inside frame, in first and then fill in the surround part last. Didn't think you would build the whole thing and then put it in. Really learn something from watching an EXPERT do it right. Great job, love your work.

[@jeffrme]

Love it brother. I’m so jealous of your work. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos!

[@rickhoupt6933]

Beautiful work. I love the casing. Simple yet custom.

[@LanceTruett]

Dude, I have picked up so many tricks. That one piece install is wicked. I’m no pro, but watching you teach techniques takes my trim to the next level. Every video has nuggets. Thanks for helping me remodel my house.

[@itsonlyacommentsnowflake3346]

I nearly lost my eye cutting wedges from old trim, it happened exactly how you said, i didn't see the nail in the timber because the nail hold was filled, the only thing that saved me was i was squinting, the nail shot out at hit me right in the middle of my eye and actually stuck to my eyelid. You'll never see me cut ANYTHING without safety glasses again.

[@victor-manuel-pr]

Terry Murray I hope your ok that was a horrible experience man 😱

[@itsonlyacommentsnowflake3346]

@@victor-manuel-pr luckily it didn't do any damage to my eye, just burnt my eyelid with the heat of the nail and lost a few eyelashes that haven't grew back, but it could of been a lot worse. I'd joke about when people told me off for not wearing, saying don't worry I've got my safety squint on, not anymore, it's not worth it.

[@brentkramer7358]

I’m amazed by how you would install a whole frame around windows. I thought it would have been pieced all separate. I’ve seen you do doorways as whole pieces but windows is definitely a different monster. You impress me with your craftsmanship. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

[@12emanuel25]

Ever since I first watched one of your videos you inspired me to get into more finished Carpentry and I have learned a lot from you and going to keep on learning, Your a really good teacher and a really great carpenter

[@onelung83]

thank you for your detailed explanation of your jobs. I enjoy your approach to doing different jobs.

[@austinreese4756]

I just started working as a finish carpenter a few months ago and watching your videos is really helpful in learning other methods or little more of what I have learned already

[@nellyberchman6612]

Best casing I ever seen that I can do myself thanks for sharing.

[@RecklessTheory]

One newbie thing I learned a long time ago is always remember the size of the kerf and which side of a line to cut to avoid losing the 1/8" in size in the final piece. It's worse with sheet goods where you expected to use the full 4 or 8 feet (sometimes the vendor adds an inch to the final product to account for it on a few cuts) while it's something learned early it still can slip the mind when doing a lot of different things.

[@hungryarch7319]

Well done sir. Really nice n clean. I love those little miter clamps.

[@sharpeguns1]

That tool is to expensive for what is, and extra clamps are extreme also. I looked them up. Ill wait until Harbour Freight copies them.

[@georgiafan6618]

I have similar trim on my exterior but it’s resin. It’s nice and you’ve captured an elegant look for this window.

[@iilijah]

I also pre fabed my window trims with the stool. Only I placed shims, ( stacked pieces of 1/8 ply) in between the wall framing and the window frame. That way the revel is equal all the way around the window. In other words the backside of the window jamb is the exact same as the window frame, if that makes sense.

I jammed a cased a set of six windows 1’-6”x 2’-6” they where six separate windows in a row. My boss at the time told me to build it in 2 pieces seeing how It was about a 10’ span. I decided to build it in one big window jamb. Notched all my returns and dog ears, put all my six window jambs to my bottom seal, glued and screwed my legs and header and that shit slid in like you know what. 1/4” reviles 👌🏽My boss was impressed needless to say. I wish I still had a picture of it. That was a few years ago. Now I own my own remodel company. Still waiting to get another window jamb like that. Fun shit. Good work my friend, keep it up. Always getting good tips and advice from you. Best KZbin channel 💯

Thanks for taking the time here. I have made videos before and it takes time. thanks again

[@wranther]

This is a very enjoyable series Richard. Have been known to go a bit broader with a stool, either rounding or back cutting the ends to lengthen stool life rather than scrapes and bruises and broken ends. Also double as plant pot resting spots on the sunny sides of the building. -Bob...

[@neuromercy]

When you mentioned the cavity that will exist behind the jamb due to the sheetrock being angled back in the opening, I wondered if there could be an opportunity for condensation behind the jamb, and would that cause the mdf to puff? How would you address that in an older home that doesn't have the best moisture/air infiltration barrier system.

Hello again Richard, You introduced me to the BSI glue/accelerator and it has been a huge time savings for my San Diego trim carpentry business. I’m wondering why you used only yellow glue on this video? Thanks for the great knowledge sharing that you provide!

[@JasonBrown-edoc]

Since I am currently renovating a 1930's house with weighted windows I wonder with the casing being combined, if you ever need to work on or replace a window, is there a strategy to the potential problem or would you just RIP out the casing and rebuild if / when you have an issue? Or is there still enough clearance if you were to ever have to do a replacement? This series is amazing, it is perfectly timed since I'm working on both jams and wainscot planning. I'm looking for the link to your membership
