Traditional Door Casing Masterclass - Full Pro Carpentry Tutorial

[@justbartee]

I love that you got emotional about your own work. ANY customer should be proud to have you working for them. WELL DONE !!

[@eileenheitman4351]

That last 20 seconds of the video....your pride...your happiness....and with me, on my jobs...the relief that crunching all the details, phone calls, subcontractor meetings....sorting through product at the lumber yard, addressing customer concerns, paperwork....all the steps and crunching to get to that end product. That last 20 seconds is the payoff. And of course, the $$$$$. But, to start from nothing except the customers hopes and dreams and deliver it...... when you stood and stared silently for a few seconds.....dopey look on your face.... I totally get it , Richard.

[@larrylotter7190]

Of the several hundred youtubers on my list, yours are the ones I look forward to the most. Great work.

[@nickreffer3046]

Good work, Richard I see you elevated in your craft been following you since day one. I’m also an interior trim, fanatic.

[@ohdang8515]

Dude you should be so proud of that. That is no joke one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It's clean and crisp and classic. Absolutely stunning.

[@CookeSonsCarpentry]

I’m so glad you did this video! People have such a unrealistic idea of how good looking trim is done.

[@rickysdrywall5288]

Nothing beats that feeling of standing back and admiring your work when you've really nailed it! Thanks for putting out all the content over the years, I've learned a lot from you, and continue to.

[@Joseph-jx8bl]

That looks amazing! It’s impressive to see how much you’ve grown and expanded over the last 2 years + since I’ve started following you. Great job and thank you for the lessons my friend. I also just realized that the casing around the window in your shop behind the chop saw is Makita Blue…NIIIIICE!

[@andyignacio6785]

Been watching forever. It's nice that you still point out the fundamentals like easying into the cut line.

[@thomasbrey9188]

I worked in finishing before learning how to build and trim millwork. 100 percent made me better at trimming! Everyone should have to do that first before learning how to trim, it will only make you better!

[@tjo1984]

Nice work. Great to see your high level of pride. Good stuff, thanks.

[@DiannaAtherton]

I have been following you since your very beginning on KZbin. I have learned so much valuable information. It helped me to take that first step in my home renovation these last 6 years, more than you know. Everytime I feel rushed I remember your body language and mannerisms to just slow down and do good work. This video is going to be my favorite video. Go slow, be sure and take a step back and look at my work. I appreciate that. Truly Dianna A.

[@jimfeaster4837]

With your first description of job I thought it was Going to be ugly... But the end results My mind changed It's actually very Good results..... Actually impressive!

[@karlriley1314]

AWESOME and OUTSTANDING case work. Can't expect anything else from on EXPERT like you. You are THE MAN of Door Casing Masterclasses.

[@pitsnipe5559]

Trim makes a house. You are so right. Because of the custom trim work that I did in a previous house, my realtor upped the listing price 20K. I git too. Just as important is quality hardware.

[@BPratto]

Thank you, I can't recall ever seeing a door frame out like this. Appreciate you sharing this with us.

[@hangtownbikerhiker6526]

@Finish Carpentry TV It’s absolutely amazing! I actually learned a lot on how to mill from this video! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us!

[@jamescole1786]

6/11/23;..garage door to yard..2-part molding fitting & install...yup looks very good! Also, that Makita chop saw...looks brand new!..no dust on it! Nice! Stay safe & carry on !👍👏😊🍺

[@johnpoole699]

No.... What's amazing is your craftsmanship and attention to detail !!!

[@matthewcacioppo9223]

Awesome video. Beaded casing is beautiful. Maybe you can show how to use the jack miter it as well. Very cool method

[@Box52222]

Was moving to see your appreciation for the trim work man, i totally get it. Perfect patient workmanship.

[@rogerkaldahl9540]

Richard, I'm proud of you and your work. Almost everything I know about trim carpentry I have learned from you, don't worry, I'm an old fart and am not in competition with you. Love how you are progressing. Some day I'll make my own doors and make them look stunning.

[@norrismj1061]

Heigh Richard: A few years back, I bought a house built in 1892 in what is now a small village of 1500 people, in eastern Ontario, Canada. In 1892 it was a comparative boom town, with two railways crossing at the south end of town. A local doctor bought an 82x250 lot on the "Mill Reserve" and had a house built. Prior to our purchase, it had been owned by a succession of three women (the one prior to us living there for 80 years). Today it is owned by just my wife as I bought the workers cottage next door (owner-built we suspect before 1880). My wife's house is a classic late era Victorian on a budget. All the quality materials and handcraft are where guest would see them. The trim-out on the front door and shallow square bay window are almost exactly what you did here except for one detail: the wide casing boards meet at 90 degrees. Only the beading and outside trim are beveled. All the fasteners are square cut nails. 132 years later all the joints are tight. I can only imagine how thrilled those trim carpenters would have been if they could have laid hands on your "John Deere", lol. As an amateur I like the idea of reducing miters but as someone with a bit of a eye for the pull of aesthetics and function, I like the way the column and lintel approach speaks to me. All the best, mj

[@SuperWingman69]

Richard! After you had it completely installed and took in that pure / honest moment of job satisfaction, I could literally feel your joy, like it was my own. In a word your work is “Outstanding”. I have a question… what does one do when they have a door that’s jammed into the corner of the room and won’t allow them to make the left and right side vertical legs equal in width?

[@danielsegreti4475]

Shout out to the filmer, getting those tight shots and then getting you back in frame without causing motion sickness.

[@majordanggle]

Man this is great! You inspired me to do my own carpentry even though I have no experience. I built a domino table and came out great just by following your attention to detail as well as tips and tricks.

[@mdvener]

As a retired electrician, I really learn alot from you. Thanks, and your door casing looks GREAT.

[@G0108-p2p]

Absolutely crazy ... richard tried to scam his subscribers using telegram , your partner asks for $3,500 for crypto accounts,. I sent the accounts to KZbin, and klever with all the details and link to the accounts and transaction list. I mean what is the deal trying to scam your own subscribers?

[@mdvener]

@@G0108-p2p their has been a scam on all you tube accounts offering you everything but is nothing.

[@mdvener]

@@G0108-p2p scamers have been on everyone's response page. A lot of creators coming out n telling us DON'T FALL FOR THE PRIZE GIVE AWAY. It's not them.

[@stuartjohnson8171]

Great job. A small hint about using the pinch clamps. Wrap a rubber band around the tips. The handle will be held apart and gentle squeeze will spread the tips making clamping and removing the springs a snap.

[@robertbamford8266]

Always a pleasure to see someone enjoy the results they achieve.

[@jameslastname9171]

It looked good on assembly and dry fit, but once you primed and and fully assembled and then set it in place…. 😮😮😮😮 Sooo gorgeous!

[@BrianFerraira]

just started my carpentry business about year and a half ago and your videos are very helpful I watch your videos see how you do it and then go out and charge a bunch of money cant thank you enough.

[@johnhamilton9229]

Self actualization is rare and I believe I just witnessed it. Amazing work. You’ve come along way since demonstrating CA glue on a hilltop with a hefty breeze.

[@sarabates2046]

It looks great 🥳

[@timf5963]

"And we're finally going to trim out the door that we built over a year ago." These are actually soothing words, good sir. Makes me feel better about the 10 projects I have going on.

[@maxpowers646]

Great video love seeing traditional trim work, out of the countless houses I’ve built and remodeled we’ve only done Home Depot style trim in million dollar houses

[@hunter-yy3ob]

Hi Richard, really appreciate the work you put into these video’s awesome craftsmanship been a viewer from the beginning great to see how far you have come 👍👍

[@wchops7578]

Can’t believe it’s been over a year since you built that door! Oddly surreal to be a part of your journey for afar lol.

[@georgiafan6618]

Good idea installing back band first. You have to consider and uneven wall and no room for nails. Super gorgeous install. Stand back and soak it in! 👍

[@Willie0211]

Sometimes you just gotta sit/stand and appreciate your own work. Put everything aside and just appreciate what you did and how beautiful it is. You absolutely knocked this out of the park.

[@williamclements9489]

Thanks, I am currently removing all the contractor grade trim and installing Craftsman style trim. Slow going but well worth it

[@pappyoh1]

Absolutely beautiful, it’s so nice to see somebody so passionate about their craft! It’s definitely lost in a throw away world of cheap and fast

[@albertm8576]

You my friend have an amazing attention for detail and that is why you continue to excel at your profession. I think before it is all said and done we will look back and say we were looking at an artisan in the making. The millwork around that door looks amazing. Keep up the great videos.

[@bobafett5926]

@18:20 That feeling when you works honestly pays dividends. Amazing work, excellent video. Appreciate the time you put into your work and these videos.

[@ZachAshcraft]

Totally relate to the enjoyment you have at the end of this one. I’ve had a blast trimming out our downstairs with craftsman casings after putting in new floors

[@Obscured1972]

The other day I saw a block just like yours during a hearing on at the capitol. I believe they were stone because they looked very "dingy" compared to the white trim. The one difference was about about 3/4 of an inch of the trim on the door side (your beaded side) continued past the block all the way to the floor

[@antoniovelazquez3895]

No cabe duda que usted Ama su trabajo ... FELICIDADES !!! Nice Job !

[@JT-vk5wy]

Wow! Definitely amazing work! Attention to detail is awesome!

[@nicholasmanovich4330]

I agree....the millwork/trim really makes or breaks the aesthetics of a room/home....I recently redid the baby's room and every now n then I'll go in there and pull the curtains back and just kinda take another look....it was my first time doing something like that so I didn't exactly break the bank on quality/high end trim but it's still makes a huge difference compared to the other bedrooms. Great video as always! Enjoy your content !! Thanks !!!!!

[@joeyamador7961]

Finally someone who understands how important the IECC is.. especially since he is in zone 3 (the humid zone)!

[@wilahinely]

Damn dude you put out such quality content. Really appreciate your videos.

[@JonnyTsunami1]

Gotta love the Richard whistle of approval! Really nice work!

[@subtle7hunder62]

Bro, I love the satisfaction and enthusiasm you have for your work. Excellent!

[@zephyr1408]

I am actually crying ? It’s magnificent! I gotta go now!,, Pro finish carpenter out!

[@jeradmiller4575]

When I did my two piece door casings I glued and tacked the back-band on first. That way I only have to cut the miters once since I'm cutting the casing and back-band as one piece. Speeds up the install.

[@Jamie-mt2vb]

Fantastic video, impressive skill and craftsmanship. Thank you.

[@tony300c1]

Just washing your project and the passion of you building wow it’s amazing

[@keokeoihaia306]

Awesome work, you make it look so simple

[@DarylStreick]

this was very entertaining to watch and to finally see the end result was really stunning.

[@notbad442]

Stunning! I share your passion, it’s perfect, love it can’t stop looking at it.

[@freddyvelasquez4168]

Millwork, definitely makes a house. It gives a room a grander appearance. A room without millwork looks incomplete. Cheers, from Brooklyn, NYC.

[@Greg_Gatsby]

That door casing is a celebration! 👍🎉

[@tonyg5692]

Definitely something to be PROUD of GREAT JOB!

[@detroitdiy]

Awsome Richard, Thanks for sharing such great information. The off 90 degree wall interference was a golden tip for any DIY'er having a fitment issue.

[@detectingohio5614]

I agree 1000% with that choice of door and trim u nailed it 👍🏻pun intended

[@michaelparker1813]

It looks great. Wonderful workmanship.

[@robwaz1547]

Nice work once again Richard , well explained. Miss that old church remodel that must have been a great job to be on

[@andredsouza2320]

Excellent video as usual, Rich. I'd suggest holding the foam can upside down when foaming.

[@michaelschmitz8028]

Looks awesome! What is your method for dealing with the small amount of exposed drywall paper from removing the old trim? The stuff that the back band just barely didn't cover. Will caulk and paint hide it, or is there another step?

[@gcranch9913]

That’s the problem with videos like this…true craftsmen make this look toooo easy! Most excellent

[@annealston4858]

this just shows you have mastered your craft

[@stephenb4164]

Looks great and tis type of work sets a home apart from others.

[@maxexposure6253]

Fantastic!!! I can feel the love. Thanks for the video.

[@murphymmc]

Great detail, though the plinth blocks need a radius on the hard edges. It's the only piece in that overall look that doesn't quite fit in with the beaded lines and radius edges of all the other components.

[@jonboy8181]

I love how much you love this.

[@duanebarnes3587]

Heck yeahhhhhh prime the back to seal. Thanks for the great tip.

[@murph3194]

I am a trim / finish carpenter who has had to work with rough framers for the past 7 mo. The few rare times I get to do my kind of work, they look at me like I'm an alien when I set up and get going with it. They just take quick rough numbers and slap it together. Their miters are cringe worthy. This vid made me miss my type of work SO much. His proud stare at how sexy trim can look says it all.

[@seanwanlass2501]

Bad ass Richard! Keep 'em coming....👊👌

[@laszlodesimon4768]

Beautiful work, as usual! My only question is, why didn't you refinish the wall prior to setting the casing in?

[@shawnphillips1220]

Amazing. Wished I had a pinch of your craftsmanship.

[@devinmcgrath6648]

Would like to see how you prep these for paint. Nail hole putty preferences, caulk talk etc.

[@Thanos0001]

You sir, are a master at your craft. I could get better results if I just slow down a bit. Seeing you work on real time I can definitely see the payoff.

[@rast6468]

Beautiful work. Why wouldn't you attach your back band to the casing pieces first, then make your miters?

[@josephhickman9637]

Very good. Much appreciated craftsmanship

[@robertmawby3021]

Does having such a large plinth block so close to the hinge side of the door not impede the opening of the door? Surely it will restrict the angle of the open door to the wall behind it? Your work and videos are both excellent Richard. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@mikebowling8795]

Loved watching this video, can't wait to use these tips.

[@kevinf3641]

Looks good and clean.

[@jar944]

Jack miters on the base layer of casing would be preferred, especially if you are going to that level of detail.

[@NathanBake]

So flush and so clean!

[@DSW-kt1fp]

You are an artist

[@jgm3796]

Awesome video. Doesn't the multimark provide a 3/16" reveal? Any videos on exterior door trim?

[@billhall1555]

what nails did you use, was that a 15g finish nail?

[@kylewightman5176]

Awesome job, speaks for itself! I have liked watching you over the years,perfect your craft and change the way you do things. I also found my Dewaukee hat yesterday and was ecstatic. Anyways love watching you everyday. One question though, about your Milwaukee brad nailer because I’ve seen you using it for a while now. Has there been any problems you’ve come across with it? How long have you had it? And do you think it’s worth it? Thanks!!!

[@rickcimino743]

due to the date this came out I was kind of expecting something a bit different. Your reaction at the end ......was priceless but humbly I would suggest that the cosetted corners you did elsewhere are nicer.

[@jp34604]

Just perfect! Are you a sawdust and glue man? If so, or if not, what's your recipe or preferred filler product? Thanks

[@MsBillboy]

Hello Richard and all your subscribers I thought you all might want to look at Robin Clevett making some external doors for his house (U.K.) title of his video is...Making a pair of front doors, my super expensive front doors are finally being made Part 1. all the best Peter..

[@marty-bird]

Beautiful work.

[@michaelplays2449]

Nice Job Richard !!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😇

[@carriecampbell297]

As always great video and even better work. What is the rattle can spray finish you use in this video? Thanks!

[@blradcl]

Yet another great video

[@andrewbrown8148]

Great work, Richard~! You always make everything look so easy. Looking forward to my chance at this some time.

[@heystarfish100]

Richard, your work is secondary to the smile on your face when you were taking it all in and appreciating the design and execution. Congratulations and keep pushing yourself forward. 🫡😎
