Wainscot Cap and Base

[@Paul-jz1lv]

Your son may go to college, but knowing how to work is invaluable. Also your creating memories that will last him all his life. My father died when I was in my 30's, I'm 63 now and I wish everyday I could call him and ask his advice. Cherish these times with your son.

[@ryananthony4840]

My little buddy used to help me a lot on jobs and his mechanical aptitude is so huge now.... Gotta teach them young, that's how I learned!

*15yrs from now, Levi will be a Master Finish Carpenter.*

[@pararescue88]

Awesome work! Love seeing you let your little dude help out!

[@alanmcgrath2009]

You were true to your word at the start when you said you were going to show everything, very detailed, excellent videos, reminds me when my own kids were young, I'd have them helping me working in the house, people over here thought it strange because they are 2 girls, but they loved it. Keep up the good work.

[@robb1267]

Kid is doing great work! Give him a raise!

[@stellaslkwan]

I love that he follows you around and wants to help you. My son does the same when I do repairs. He would bring his toy tools with him. Super 😍 Cute

[@loserplanet]

So much hard work and attention to detail. I really enjoy watching. Learning a lot.

[@VCGConstruction]

Such a well planned molding package, I especially like how the “cap” dies in perfectly to the window casing! Beautiful!!

[@cjohnsjf]

Are you going to do a video on installing your panel molding. I’m planning on doing a large dinning room and these videos will be a huge help. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. John

[@LUckybones25]

I’m not a carpenter, but watching this makes me want to do a wainscot in my office.

[@mikegreenwood681]

so I have watched your videos for a while Very talented. i learned alot watching. Once your kids started helping. AWESOME. Thanks for what you do .

[@joanitosilva4358]

Man, you are a really pro, very well explained!! Nice and clean work...keep it coming I’m sure your video has been helping many others besides me, Thank u very much...

[@donaldpyles2891]

Great series! Hope you consider more like this. Nice to see how it all progresses and how coupling of a few simple moldings makes a very nice effect. Keep up the good work. Equipping the little guys work truck will be cheaper than college and he will be very successful.

[@justgregnow]

The office is looking great 👍 I have the same flexvolt vac and dewalt sander love the freedom they give while keeping the dust down.

[@rockymanify]

Such a nice addition to the crew... Levy did an excellent job. And the project looks great

[@garyK.45ACP]

Missed the series! Glad to see you back at it. No college debt for that guy...too smart for that!

[@ALLEYOOP77]

IF YOU GET AN ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP, COLLEGE DEBT IS NOT AN ISSUE, AND YOU COULD BECOME THE BUILDING DEVELOPER WHO EMPLOYS THE CARPENTERS, THINK ABOUT IT.

[@andrewdearing2411]

Tbh that kid trying to stick a nail gun into an outlet isn't too far off from most construction sites

[@kylehisaw3732]

Andrew Dearing 😂😂😂😂

[@mikez4132]

Really enjoying this series. I am working on the same project at my house. My window is only inset 1.5 inches so it is making the window awkward to trim out and deal with a back band for the top cap... Good stuff as always

[@pb1596]

We need all the young helpers/ workers we can get in our trade, and who better to learn from but his Pops.

[@arudd60]

Love the videos and your work is amazing! Well done. Question: any reason to not use primed MDF for this project? Also, curious why you chose to butt joint the base. Is it because of the cove molding on top which would hide the miter or just preference?

[@Homer62001]

That corner is pure art

[@paulhendrickson5233]

I just want to mention that I love my shirt and I get some great comments about it! And that gives me the chance to mention your KZbin channel, so keep up the great job 👍🏻

[@alexglendening6798]

You inspire me to start my own business I’ve been teaching my self carpentry for three years now thanks to you 🤙🏼 I’m working towards the business side

[@toddkotsifas174]

Excellent work!

[@impi3]

this is a great series, really can't wait to see if you do a 13 on the final trim and paint

[@JamesBond-xq3tw]

Now we know who is the master carpenter !,well done levy,for teaching your dad

[@SuperEddietv]

Diggin the "Dewaukee" shirts! Thanks for keeping the tool lineup real!!

[@willkoenig7725]

How can I get one of those shirts?

[@lucasjohnson5871]

I love it! I wish you had a website that I could download the layout from, or basic design layouts . Granted, you talk about it, plans would be awesome too! I'd totally pay for it, if you had a website to download from...

[@jamesmarshall1134]

Thanks for not entirely editing out the part with your kids. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one that can’t work on my house without it being a shit show😂

[@mjrwey]

I like to break all the square edges with a 1/16 round over bit. Gives an awesome finished look and paints up better

[@petethehandyman9185]

Pretty work,both of you! Never too young to start learning

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Richard been watching the entire series. But, I watch All your videos Bro.!! I haven't been commenting because all of them will say how awesome your skillz are & how freakin funny your sense of humor is!! The room is comin together fantastically Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@bumpstockbilly4263]

watching Jr McBrain-sponge watch you, replicate you.....................is a pure joy my fren, he is a tiny chip off the block and he will grow a great affinity for these days, and these trades...................may further peace and blessings fall unto your wonderful family-unit.

[@hutchdw77]

I love seeing the family involved

[@tienha1161]

I love his quality of works!!

[@danielmiles1832]

Doing a sick job! Was wondering the dimensions of your cove moulding

[@stephencosentino553]

If the top cap is a 1x2 (1.5" wide) and half of it is taken up by the 1x6 top rail it leaves you with no reveal if you use a 3/4" cove (which is all that is available locally for me)

[@robwaz1547]

Nice to have good helper rich looks like ya got a wonderful crew.

[@matthewbalestracci5717]

Do you add any type of glue on the backside of your units b4 they are nailed up? Checked out your work, you and 1 other individual i know are a true inspiration! Quality and clean work is what its about👍 Thanks for the inspiration🤙

[@glendavis1266]

Is there a video on installing the inserts?

[@HBSuccess]

Great 45 detail on the OSC Richard. The whole room is looking primo.

[@stevenfoust3782]

Excellent job with regard to proportions give to your layout and reveals. The overall job is turning out quite nicely thus far. My opinion as a finish carpenter of 30yrs, do not run that cove down the closet casing leg . It will look odd as that portion is wainscot territory. One, it will give an odd jog appearance and b. It isn’t on any of your other corners. Always defer to old world craftsmanship when in doubt . They had it down and we are always trying to reinvent things.

[@jasworksinstalls]

Thank you for all the lesson and your time I’m sure it takes form your family thank you

[@godmello]

I need a link for that toy nail gun. My boys will enjoy being like dad.

[@WEALRO]

Good job 👍 I did entire downstairs now I hate to do upstairs one by one cause it's sleeping quarter's 🤣

[@brokenglass849]

You really make excellent videos; I love you attention to detail. Did you ever consider repeating the bull-nose wall radius on the corner of the wainscot?

[@senator558]

Richard, love your channel, but are you planning on finishing the wainscot series soon? At 7:29 you said that you had a cool idea for the inside panels with a backband and panel moulding and you told us to stay tuned. I’m finished with my wainscot project up to the panels and I was hoping to see what you did before proceeding. Please give us a peek!

[@senator558]

I couldn’t wait. I wound up cutting 27 degree bevels along the outside edges of a 1x4. I then ripped the remaining center piece of the 1x4 twice again at 5/8” and mitered those pieces as a backband for the mitered beveled moulding I cut for the inside. The 5/8” backband sits on top of the eucaboard so it is about 1/8” proud of the wainscot frame. It gives the look of frame and panel construction and I think it looks pretty spiffy.

[@tullyman82]

I have enjoyed all of your videos I've seen so far, thanks for making the vids.

[@OwlingDogDesign]

I love your little helper!

[@Anthony_Williams1216]

Get it little man! Great job!

[@Drock-om5oq]

No college for that guy I love it !!!!

[@kennyshepherd8311]

Great to see you including your son!

[@jefferyholland]

Starting to come together. Anxious to see what panel trim you come up with.

[@lilman59perez]

“No college for that guy unfortunately”

[@dominickbianco9816]

not everybody needs college.

[@lasa4481]

Dad was only joking . Can you imagine the knowledge of construction he's going to absorb working with his dad.

[@erapz1970]

Dam dude I love your work, I've been watching your videos and learning a lot.

[@drepoin6406]

Did you do a video of how you fit the cap around the bullnose?

[@jonathanguess4052]

You had a great help he will take over one day

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Absolutely fantastic video thank you for sharing my friend

[@MaydaysCustomWoodworks]

Hey Rich, are you not a fan of moving the outlets to center in the wainscot panels?

[@ziggiesaquaticexotics8270]

That’s some fine trim work brother no cap

[@TIEIBO]

Is there more to this series? The rest of the project? What kind of panel moulding was used?

[@noytheya]

Do you do any hardwood wainscoting? Would love to see a video of it with this detail.

[@thebeardedman-drenaline5546]

And I love the soft edge you put on that bull nose, some people just dont get it lol do they ever ask you to skip the sanding process?? If so, what do you tell them?

[@jonlebon5086]

I really wanted to see how you ripped that small bullnose in the middle of that corner. Great job

[@choimdachoim9491]

Shoe-moulding...love it when installing flooring but hate it when my dressers and bookcases won't sit tight to the wall. It's interesting that it almost takes as much time to trim a house as it does to build it.

[@dg1341]

Nice dust management on the sander (...I'm jealous as my current "project" is shooting dust everywhere...). But at least I have the best shirt ever!

[@guerradan1958]

Richard on the outside corner you just leave it with the sharp edge?

[@juliansebek5168]

Have you built bench seating? Any videos?

[@stellaslkwan]

I would like to put wainscoting like yours for my farmhouse too. My questions is do I need to sand down the existing texture paint to a smooth wall before I install?

[@paular6759]

Bonus points for doing this video in "hard mode" with the kiddos!

[@rickk8503]

As in your case , each wall is a different length. So how do you determine how much space is needed between each style? Depending on how many panels you are going to need, on one wall the space mat be 24 inches but on the next wall the space may be 18 or 26 inches. Is this normal, or am I suppose to keep it the same space all the way around. If so , how do I accommodate for the difference in the end?

[@worldwide1376]

Great video. What vacuum did you have connected to the sander?

[@ChrisD-kl3ty]

Love the macro shots!!!

[@communistusa7173]

You and your son (i assume) are so funny together. Enjoy your kids, dont waste your entire life working, you will have plenty of time to work after they are all gone

[@gsauve3908]

No 2 Richard. And a hitting that LIKE

[@regihamp0206]

Why did you not scribe the base to the floor... great videos, very helpful!!!

[@rickwashek478]

Awesome work, great helper you have.

[@Drive2Adventure]

9 minutes in no beard. 10 minutes in a beard! Keep up the videos!! Inspiring me weekly!

[@how27udo]

When is the next video coming out regarding panel trimming the insides. Thx...

[@ccvee7287]

Where can the finished room video be found?

[@texasfossilguy]

"No college for that guy... unfortunately" 🤣🤣🤣☠ honestly he wont need it if he keeps dads business growing.

[@duartepaintinghandymanservices]

Tyler Hargrove he got me laughing on that one 😂😂

[@ryanprellwitz8565]

How do you get straight pine boards? All the stores near me have boards that are really warped.

[@craetbandbass]

Love the dewakee shirt...I wore mine once already !

[@bluekingfisher1416]

I like the small detail when rounding the corner. What is the rough angle to make the two part joint. Brain not working right now lol. Nice job.

[@garethheathcote4988]

It's 22.5 degrees @bluekingfisher mate. 👍☺

[@bluekingfisher1416]

confused dot com many thanks. Of course it is, doh. 👍

[@douglasdurham6548]

Got some mighty good help, awesome job.

[@douglasdurham6548]

Awesome job.

[@thebeardedman-drenaline5546]

"Hey, your gunna have to fill all those holes..." 😂😂😂 I know this all to well🤦‍♂️😂🤷‍♂️

[@christophercrawford2736]

What are you using for a vacuum? Looks like it’s in the tough system box.

[@ryananthony4840]

Is there a reason for doing cove on top of the base instead of pre-milled base?

[@barrysmith5466]

If the floor is out of level surely you would have had to scribe the baseboard to keep the same parallel margin which would then have required a larger baseboard ,any love your work skills and videos from across the pond.

[@rogerkaldahl9540]

Do you ever us pin nails on small molding?

[@g8rdozer]

I know that’s CA glue being used on the small mitered pieces, but what is in the little spray bottle that is applied to the other pieces on the opposite of the miter?

[@NIKONGUY1960]

Would you ever consider doing a video or series on just the business side of things? Insurance, payroll, taxes, health benefits, bidding jobs, getting paid, all the things necessary to run a business?

[@kiranshashiny]

At 1:35 - how do I remove the nails in case I have to dismantle the wood board.

[@welshman100]

Pushing the base down into the curve of the floor, doesn't that then make the top of the base out of parallel with the bottom line of the frames?

[@bamabry]

"aw, It's so awesome to see you teaching your kid how to work fun and safely." * Kid shoots the outlet *

[@waysaunut]

I use shoe molding a lot, I like it, looks better than a big crack

[@carlcox7332]

Hey your gonna have to fill all those nail holes 😂😂 😂😂

[@leslielaw2103]

I want to install wainscoting in my hallway but not in my living room. The living room and hall wall join with corner bead and I’m not sure how to finish the end corner that wraps around into the living room. I’m not sure how the wainscoting would look on the end at the hall corner if not wrapped around. Any suggestions on how to finish this?

[@no9schmack]

How is the baseboard finishing against the closet door casing? Is it flush or mitered? If flush what casing you using?

[@michaeladamson1729]

Looks good no cap
