Hey Richard, I had left a comment in the last vid (it was actually the very last comment) asking you what "level" of subscription is required to obtain information regarding how you price your work? I have been wanting to subscribe to your channel but am not sure what level to subscribe to?

[@SuperEddietv]

Mine is in the mail because that IS how I roll!

[@arudd60]

Already got one. Impatiently waiting. I can’t begin my home improvement project until I get it. 😜

[@arudd60]

Tribulation Prepper ❤️. Does that make you feel better? 😜

[@BEERLIGHTBROKER]

I about died laughing around the 2:30 mark.

[@jessealanis7443]

The humor is even funnier cuz you're so straight faced about it. It's much enjoyed along with the training videos. Thank you

[@josephhollandsworth1255]

I had watched this whole series a couple years ago, but now I'm back to watch it again since I'm installing wainscoting in my dining room. It is just as enjoyable to watch this twice! Thanks for all the time you take making these videos!

[@ednagale]

Love your sense of humor. Also notice the “Next Level Carpentry” pencil. You’re both masters.

[@Mikeb-tx4cd]

Richard you are a true craftsman. There are not enough words in the English language to to properly praise your work!

[@michaeljustiniano2958]

Been watching you for about a year. started watching your older stuff and saw this. Dude you have some awesome skills! This room looks amazing love it!

[@danf6070]

Really enjoying this series. Also, please keep your sense of humor in your future videos. It's a really fun side of you that I haven't seen in past videos that makes them that much more enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the "essential tip" while you were drilling in the screw.

[@mckinnon421]

Great sense of humor..gotta have that in the tool box! Nice work as usual

[@ZMAC441]

I’m mad I haven’t seen your channel sooner. You sir and hilarious and have valiantly earned my subscription.

[@piker3000]

hilarious, thanks for the tip! Thanks for the inspiration. Recently finished my great room Wainscoting project (first timer DIY) and used your vids for both baseboard return cuts. Keep up the great work!

[@jasonlevesque9303]

I've been doing floors for well over 20 years now ,trust me you'll hardly ever find a level sub floor to work off of ,the only floors you can actually fix and make perfectly level is tiles ,because you can build up your mortar bed .👍 those hardwood floors look awesome.

[@zpepp4364]

couldn't you use self leveling under wood floors.

[@jasonlevesque9303]

@@zpepp4364 , I wouldn't recommend it because when the nails or staples go thru levelastic or other leveling compounds it will crack and chip it up then you'll have crunchy sounds under your new wood floors, the wood is flexible so good flooring cleats will hold hardwood floors down the best, you can use leveler under tiles and floating plank floors. 👍

[@zpepp4364]

@@jasonlevesque9303 right o. I was thinking about the floating cork stuff when i wrote that, quickly realising my mistake.

[@_rdub_]

I'm going to do a full wall of square wainscoting in our dining room and your videos have been a huge wealth of knowledge!

[@anthonywinters3288]

Thank Goodness I can read lips!!! I am now a MASTER finish Carpenter!!!!😏

[@number1pappy]

Looks amazing! Thanks for all your videos! You've given me the confidence and more importantly the know-how to do this to my home.

[@joestanley6154]

Beautiful work.. really does look great. I like how you weren’t concerned about the spacing being perfectly matched on the wall with the window.. really worked out well!

[@bluecollartrader1791]

That important tip that is better than any other helped me more than anything else on this channel that came before it.

[@jimserhant7741]

It’s like a landscaper’s lawn or a shoemaker’s shoes. The clients’ stuff is always more important. Oh, and let us not forget, we do need a certain thing called money to live. Keep up the great work!!

[@mgjamisonaz]

I binge watched all 10, loved it! Top notch work, instructing, humer and self deprecating. I can’t wait to do a room. thanks

[@ryn81181]

You had way too much fun making this video! Thank you for sharing your expertise, I consider you a mentor. 🙂

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

2:10 secret to your success... LOLOL!! cleaning cookie crumbs and milk off my monitor 🤣🤣 Best, Matt

[@dacbmf]

Thanks for adding the humor. Its a refreshing addition to the education

[@jbb5470]

Great series Richard! Really like how your room is coming together. Looking forward to seeing you add the trim. What a change in the looks of this room!

[@benthehandyman9667]

Dude I love your sense of humor keeps me focused on what your saying job well done.. looks amazing. Also that advice you gave changed how I do things I revamped my entire business plan great advice. Thanks for sharing

[@Tablesaw818]

Super Bowl and a new video from Richard. Sunday can’t get any better!

[@kanento]

2:14 that is the best advice ever!!!. I think I will live by that code.

[@mattschoular8844]

One step closer to finally installing the last piece of casing on the left side of the closet door. I haven't slept since you started the casing weeks ago. Looks great. Keep it up.

[@dsberube]

Another great video,... I love the series format your running. Very informative and don’t lose the humor. 😂

[@crownmoldingbyspectaculart941]

That looks great. These kind of projects are a real pain in the butt to do by yourself so kudos to you.

[@Syrion84]

Enjoy your videos, they've helped me a lot in doing trim work around my house.

[@brianherman503]

Going thru this series for the first time. I'm learning tons, but this episode added some bonus laughs!

[@brianmillard2699]

Ha. You were on a roll. Way better than so called comedians.

[@MaxBuildsIt]

I love it. Awesome sense of humor. I love your channel

[@michaeldunn5280]

First I heard of the purpose or benefit of the gap between the window sill and bottom half of the wall was for moisture leakage. Never knew that Richard. Your videos are always loaded with so much valuable info. Thanks and welcome back Harleymike/chicago

[@alanmcgrath2009]

Great to see the project getting this far, a lot more involved than people think, looks great, happy your thinking of the painter coming behind you, ha ha ha ha, I'm planning my hall, stairs and landing at the moment I feel a bit more confident looking at your work flow, keep up the brilliant work.

[@peterpigeon975]

Really inspirational stuff. It's generous of you to share your tricks of the trade. I'll definitely be putting some of this into practice.

[@guerradan1958]

Really enjoyed and learned quite a bit from this vid. It’s doors look like a different room. Great job!!

[@Robert8455]

Oh man you were full of humor on this one. Love it.

[@zrap1347]

Love your channel, and this playlist. You explain everything so clearly and simple. Consider me officially subscribed !!

[@mlowe30]

Tip: Put a piece of felt with adhesive on one side on each of the clamp faces. I will eliminate rubs on the face of trim work or cabinet faces.

[@pravinapatel3012]

I like all your videos and are very professional. Very well explained.i my self an engineer so understood well too.i like to do things my self.will watch yours future video.

I enjoy your humor man. Tip of the hat to your skills love the channel! -R

[@seanmcgrath8833]

Thanks for this one, I've been patiently waiting to see how to properly do this around my windows!

[@russellpeterson6517]

that room looks very nice, If I needed trim work done you would be my first call. Again great job!!

[@NOSLOFIVEOH]

Great work, nice job! why did you move that outlet, it seems that there is enough room for the face plate? I do appreciate that you showed how you filled the hole. Thanks for the videos, they are quite motivational, keep them coming, thanks!!!!

You were having fun on this one! Looks really good!

Damn dude, that joke was perfect.

[@jonathantalley476]

I laughed out loud when you were giving advice while driving in pocket screws... Ha! I love the sound of an impact driver in the morning.

[@PerArvidsson]

The advice at 2:15 is absolutely golden, thanks!

[@kevinwalsh8483]

Ye are so lucky in states with your timber frame housing.... good luck trying to fit nice stuff like that where it's always a block wall where you have to counter batten first of all. Or using steel nails or screws and rawlplugs .... so neater with timber frame... love your work man

[@MrRon2k]

I didn't, at the time, care what was in the next 14 min of the video. I liked it within the first 2 min. Good stuff man 👍🏼

[@frederickschmidt3547]

Getting alot of ideas from your videos! You do awesome work!

Beautiful work as usual. I look forward to all of your videos!

Ahhh the good ol' California patch! my friend and nemisis.

You do the same wall patch I have done for years...screw hold and all. Your work is top notch. Now you can get that door facing trim on..lol

[@BrentDarlington]

Looking good! It's hard to get stuff done at home. It is amazing what I will live with that's 90% complete hahaha

[@davidcerce]

I’m hoping you will do a video of the door trim after you figure it out. I have a similar situation. Like everyone else, I love these videos and I enjoy the way you teach.

[@frenchgreguk]

Excellent work as always. Thanks for sharing.

[@Greg_Gatsby]

I really like how the rails of the wainscot line up with the rails of the closet door. 👍

[@lucianoraygoza6645]

Thank you Richard for the videos good things evolve over time sir

Wow man looks fantastic! I'm not that brave or good to do my own rooms, but you sir are a Master

[@pazzo7070]

Love your channel. I am just a home diy guy and your tips are fantastic !!

[@CBanks-ky7kl]

I really appreciate the effort you've put into this series. You've given me the confidence to do it myself. I just have a couple of suggestions that I think will elevate future videos. 1. Don't even respond to the negative comments. It's really distracting and doesn't add to your main point. 2. What did you say at minute 2:16? You ran the drill while you were talking and we missed it.

[@timdare0831]

Fantastic job. Can't wait to see the next steps for this

[@AndrewAllgaier]

Great one man. I'll be sure to add that secret sauce you divulged to my own work. Hahaha! But seriously, amazing work and I'm soaking it all up with all my diy weekend projects. Thank you.

[@jamesquinless1777]

Awesome channel. You would make an awesome shop teacher for kids.

[@roryoconnell7759]

Thanks for finally sharing your tips for taking it to the next level. :)

[@howardlaunius7484]

very nice job.....thanks for putting this series together.

[@scvic2006]

Strange observation. You mentioned you have the gap on the sill because if moisture gets in it won't be able to wick up. Then you used wood shims which will assist in moisture transfer. I'm no finish carpenter anywhere near your level but I'd think using something other than wood would make sense as a shim. Like those plastic door shims you used once. They would not absorb water like wood or expand and contract due to weather, right?

[@1982nsu]

Great video. FYI, I always check floor level and flatness before I begin a renovation project and use floor leveler when necessary. This makes all aspects of the job (cabinets, trim, flooring etc...) a breeze.

[@streamlinedvideo]

Great series Richard! Are you nailing into studs or just drywall? If studs do you have to line up the wainscot with the studs?

[@jeffshackleford3152]

In cabinet making, we always use glue in between pocket hole joints. I am not sure if it is strictly required, but everyone does always, so might as well. Also get ketchup bottles and use those for your glue, and do not cut the tip either.

[@davemotti8070]

Missed 2 things. Key advice and making cuts for round corner. Noise and zoned out ? Great series. Excellent. Great edit on the advice. Lol

Nice concept , I love your works ,am from Nigeria I how do I get these equipment for myself .Also I still need more training to get perfect

[@scottcurtis1887]

Hey Richard. Just a quick tip that you may not know related you kreg screws. Amazon sells torx head pocket hole screws. They are WAY better than Kreg brand square drives for not much more money. No more rounding over bits. I’m a big fan. For whatever it’s worth. Wainscoting looks great. Love the vids Man. Scott Curtis Custom Carpentry Mt Wolf, PA

That was awesome! Accuracy, efficiency, with a little humor thrown in. Loved it! "The meaning of life is... brrbrrrbrbrbrrbbr!" Hahaha

Richard just wanna let you know I've been watching every video. The information your dropping is priceless. With that being said you know I'm your #1 fan if you ever do comedy!! Bro., I absolutely love your humor Bro.!! Besides the beginning the 02:10 mark had be dying!! Hoping all is well and Dirty Jersey out!!

[@stevengerard7371]

Getting good with the funnies man Thanks again for the exceptional content

[@dianecamper1816]

You do an awesome job every time.

[@MaydaysCustomWoodworks]

Hey Rich. I'm a cabinet maker, and I've done a few wainscot jobs. Actually the last wainscot job I had was fixing some botched wainscot from another carpenter. The glue on the pocket hole joints is because over time you may get some minor movement. Especially because you are getting that lumber from the home center. They don't normally have very stable materials. It just prevents the chance for that seam cracking once you paint over it, which is relatively common in painted projects. Probably nothing you will get a call back to fix, but it's enough that if you can easily fix it, it's a nice touch. I see you didn't put a 1/4 panel on the inside. I assume the drywall is smooth on the bottom, and you are going to caulk in where the frame meets the wall and make it look like it's a panel?

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

Mayday's Custom Woodworks good point. I will actually be putting tempered hardboard inside each panel.

[@robavis4906]

You are a very funny guy haha. i like the jokes. That wainscot looks great cant wait till the next one.

[@brianb1179]

Hahaha that's hilarious , I heard everything about the tip while you're impact was in action LoL 👍👊,

[@dennisschickling5759]

7:44 If that wall was longer than the lower board. How and where would you add a extra piece to make up the full length?

[@bradleyrhoades1065]

I too was tought that secret !!- room came out nice man!

[@kingcory21]

Love the master class! Is it possible to install this with a baseboard heater?

[@Alexb72219]

This video was extra funny, love seeing the process too thanks brother

[@johncox8645]

In your crown moulding video you talked about using your laser measuring tape to get you measurements. I haven’t seen you use it in a long time. Did you find it to be inaccurate. I bought on and love it because it holds the last 5 measurements . And I usually forget the measurement 10 seconds after I read it. Great work on the room. Completely changes the look and feel of the room.
