Years ago I hired a guy that said he was a Finish Carpenter when we were doing a remodeling project on our house. When I came home from work and saw what he had done I realized that he must have meant he was from Finland.

My Grandfather was a Finnish Finish Carpenter- I would say if the standards expected were not met by your "finish" carpenter, that he was neither a Finish carpenter, nor a Finn- because the best Finish carpenters are often both.

7:00 “If it looks perfect it is perfect.” Such an important lesson for anyone building anything. You could make it exactly the same and have it look wrong. Step back five feet, ten feet, look from either side, and from the side of your eye. That’s time well spent. (And also an excellent moment to see if you missed something else!)

I spent the better part of 20 years working as a finish carpenter and to see someone that wants it right every time is a feast for these worn-out eyes. I thank you for your videos and like myself your willingness to learn a better way is always a pleasure to see. I was fortunate to learn from craftsmen like you when I first started. One of the fellows was so good I worked Saturdays for free for 2 years just to absorb everything he would teach me. When MDF first came out two of his builders ordered it and he picked up his tools and left the first guy......the second guy went and bought the materials used here. I asked Leo why and he replied, " that's my name on this work and it will never be used in the same sentence as MDF." That was many years ago and I am proud to say my name has never been used that way either.

I’m 59 but my methods and materials are older - and newer- as I watched things as a young carpenter in the 80’s with eyes that had been extra-curricularly studying colonial and newer architecture snd furniture since I was 12. This was easy in New England. I have used MDF for trim elements as well as poplar, pine, oak, spruce, cherry, maple, walnut, Philippine mahogany, WRC, white cedar, cypress, cambara, and who knows what others I forgot. Even pvc (foamed pvc) and hollow vinyl extrusions. While I will never do vinyl extrusions again (nor PVC foam lumber) for interior work again unless perhaps it’s commercial and soec’d, I will concede that MDF definitely has its place in a carpenters quiver, just as MDO does. I wouldn’t write off MDF with the mindset that kept Henry Ford from going to hydraulic brakes on the Model T. These days the moulded hollow- and solid-core interior doors are all skinned with what is essentially MDF. And the jambs are finger-jointed pine. Why balk at MDF but accept PFJ door frames? Sometimes you have just roll with change. Nevertheless, solid lumber is my go-to and first choice.

I always use a 18 guage brad nailer to nail the casing to the extension jambs. That's because we use a lot of DC98 casing in the DC area and the smaller guage is less likely to blow out the bead on the inside edge of the casing.

My dad was a finish carpenter by trade. He never used a pneumatic nailer as they were "too heavy" for his shoulders. A deft finish hammer and a nail set were his tools. If he ever left a "smile" on a casing he grabbed a pencil and initialed it, to let the painter who came behind him who caused the extra work. A lesson I'll never forget. Thanks for another great video.

I can understand how your Dad preferred older tools Eric. When I started in carpentry over well 50 years ago, there were no air tools of any sort. It was all hammers and screwdrivers, and I often used my great grandfather's tools. Those were still in use at the time. But the winds of time were changing, Eric, and will blow forever on now. Best of luck to you.

I love this channel and the people who comment here. I would add one thing : we always spray foam the space between the liners and the framing, it makes a huge difference up in Canada to the comfort and quality of temperature control in the room. We use pieces of plywood of various thicknesses cut short of the width of the liners, and shim with those, not tapered shims. You can use thin sheets of plastic ripped for 1/16" adjustments. We carry a bucket of these materials around when doing windows. The spacers cut short allow some foam to go between the back of the shim and the plastic of the window frame. Great video !

Great work! Looks awesome. I have the same gun and I have been meaning to put a hook on mine as well! One of these days, haha! One tip for when you are nailing the casings into your jamb pieces is to turn your gun sideways (I refer to it as gangster style). The chisel point of the nail tends to plow out to the left and right side of the gun, but rarely goes up and down. Just a friendly tip to help you not tick off your painters when a nail blows out the side!

Its your manner, pep talks ect. Richard at finish carpentry and Lewis at inside carpentry both are lovely level headed lads. Even though I live thousands of miles away in Yorkshire England, I feel like we're all kindred spirits. I grew up in the sixties and seventies, my Summers were spent building tree camps, using my dad's saw and hammer. Using bits of wood and nails I could scrounge from local building sites. My imagination could run riot.

Scott, I really like this series. I’ve been a cabinetmaker for over 40 years. One good piece of advice that would help you and others with respect to pneumatic finish nailers- I’ve used Senco and Bostitch, among others. My point is if you look closely at the tips of your nails that are glued together in a row. You’ll see these tips wedge to a point. Now, if the wedge shape runs with direction of the gun itself and the nail enters the wood, strikes an object and is deflected, it will have tendency to deflect to the left or right with respect the orientation of your nail gun. Bostitch nails tend to have their wedges arranged this way. Likewise Senco nails are staggered and their wedge tips go perpendicular to orientation of the nail gun. If an object within the wood is struck, the nail have tendency to deflect forward or back. This is important to bear in mind when nailing close to two finished surfaces. Keep up the good work! Al

I'm glad it's easy to see how this could be done for a concrete wall with interior framing. Really just a matter of making a deep jamb and that you don't have to worry about nailing into concrete at any point since it's the casing that holds it in place.

Hey, nice video. I just wanted to tell you that you can prevent nail blowouts by turning the nailer and holding it like a gangster on its side. If you hold the nailer as you do then the nail point will travel left and right which can cause blowouts in bad grain/knots but by holding it on it's side, the nail point will travel up and down instead.

Take note of the chisel tip of the nails. The direction of the chisel dictates which direction the goes when it hits a knot. Turning the gun 90* when nailing can help prevent blowout.

Most of those nail heads have a slight taper on the two longer sides of the nail. The deflection usually happens along these tapers when shooting them. So you can often control then deflection angle and at least prevent it from going into the finish area of jamb by rotating gun 90. The deflection will then usually go “up” or down” info the part of the framing where it doesn’t matter.

In Australian terms (generally) jam=reveal, case=architrave. Never actually heard anyone refer to the side or top of a window frame, so, I suppose head, leg, etc, still applies. Then again, most windows in Australia these days are delivered attached to the jam/reveal, and attached through the reveal to the house frame.

Great job with the finish work on the windows. However, I have two quibbles: First, it bugs me to see exposed end grain. If it were for my own house, I would have mitered the ends of the header and apron. As I said, a quibble. Second, the paint grade board that was shown being cut on the miter saw had the pith right in the center of the board. In time, that board will almost certainly twist, cup, or crack. If I couldn't rip the pith out of the board, I wouldn't have used it.

I like the one I seen the guy put screws into the two by fours on the side exactly even with the window frame so when you put the side wood on it is lined up perfect. Then do your shims. Everything is in place.🎉

I love watching vids like this,, especially when the host knows what he's talking about. I've been in carpentry for over 50 years, and I've always loved using wood to create beautiful places for folks to live in and enjoy. At 75 years old, I'm too shaky to be climbing around on ladders and scaffolding, which is a necessary part of most projects. Construction is hard on a body. So I have to be content to watch others, and wish I was there. Above all else, be safe, my friends.

Don't forget the MDF trim and condensation, turning it into a wet sponge with a few years. Same goes with compressed paper baseboards. House is looking good, thanks for everything!

Pro tip for "shiner" nails. TOP of the gun towards the direction you DONT want the nail to curve towards. Nail gun nails are only beveled on 2 sides and will almost never curve up or down only left to right. We implement this while doing window stops and havent had a nail hit the glass since.

As a painter, I always appreciate carpenters who don't get all giddy about the sound their nail guns make and fill the carpentry full of nails. I also greatly appreciate when carpenters don't dry finger caulk and leave a goopy mess for the painter to then scrape off and redo properly.

That look when he stood up the left side of the casing of "now that I've lined this up perfectly, how the hell do I get my hammer" - I know that feeling soooo well.

Having put up MDF trim, I completely agree about the "volcano" you talk about. I usually will cut it off with a putty knife, then fill the remaining hole. MDF is nice though for it's dimensional stability and consistency. It's getting harder and harder to find decent wood boards that aren't full of knots or twisted.

A tip to ensure your nails don’t pop out of the jamb, turn your nail gun 90 degrees so you’re shooting nails in with the gun perpendicular to the edge of the jamb. Your 18g nails can move horizontally but will seldom move vertically in relation to the gun

Wow! I saw some new moves on the table and drop saw. As a DIYer this blew me away. I understand the drop saw move to even out the cut but don't quite get the point of cutting from behind the table saw. The kerf would be a mirror image but what would be the advantage of that? Edit....haha the penny dropped. Same cut opposite end without having to move the fence. There you go. You can't beat experience.
