Finish Carpentry TRICKS! This was REWARDING!

[@jwj9953]

I've been in trim carpentry for the past six months (commercial), and I've never seen this side of trim before. We'd fabricated tread, ripped base, casing, so on and so fourth, but I would love to do residential work like this. After I was laid off I did my first residential job for a contractor, hung a bi-fold door and a LS bathroom door, installed 40' worth of base on an unlevel floor, but I made it work. I love this work and I want to do it for the rest of my life, and it's really awesome to see someone as diligent as you work through things on the spot. It's really humbling to see how much more there is to this. This definitely motivates me to do better, thank you

[@jordanmachler9017]

You, a person as well as a carpenter, are someone to be looked up to. The world's a better place with you in it. Thank you sir.

[@jonstolarski]

it's all fun and games until he hits on your girl... lol just kidding... I don't know dude, but yeah he's pretty chill.

[@jonstolarski]

I've become addicted to this channel. it's impossible to stop watching half way thru these videos.

[@anthonysilva5015]

It is rare to see this level of detail in the trade world anymore. Amazing work! It is refreshing to see someone take their time and do it right and with pride. Thanks for posting!

[@yearounder]

Your attention to detail is beyond awesome, and you're moral and you have a sense of humor that's witty and rare. Great channel that I truly enjoy watching! Thank you, sir!

[@billdarnell5650]

You will never be out of work. You are a craftsman who takes pride in your work.

[@redlightcivic]

Someone raised you right. Your work ethic, problem solving ability and skill are obvious. However, small comments which many may miss, or see as insignificant, reveal volumes about your character. Example being the Snoop comment. You are correct. We have allowed the entertainment industry to damage the kiddos. I own an auto and diesel repair facility. Finding young people who are trainable, willing to work and show up on time, is near impossible. The average age of my technicians keeps rising. I worry. In 10-15 years, who is going to build our homes, repair our vehicles and build our roads? We must teach young folks working with your hands does not mean you are "dumb" or "less". Quite the opposite. I don't have to tell you, the personal satisfaction of viewing the end product of a complex job, such as the one in this video, is great. It is good for the "soul", good for the character. God Bless and best of luck. I appreciate the content.

[@shaunlowe5108]

Yeah and it goes deeper than that too. Its not just young ones not seeing the value in the work. Because they all want to be famous for nothing. But it's also the "customer's". Look down upon us like were just "the help". An even when we do things that they clearly can not. They act like they can fire u on the spot. And replace you at moments notice. I've even watched as they take credit for my work to Thier friends. Because it was thier 💡 not seeming to realize that there where some steps between them having a thought and you making it a reality. Just feels like there's no appreciation for building things, or fixing things anymore.

[@redhoward11]

@@shaunlowe5108 I hate it when someone has a design idea yet no ability to execute it, then takes credit for it. I've had employers do that many times.

[@cjshouseofbricks2184]

The industry causes most Mechanics to leave the business. Been at it 20 years and the peak of my pay was almost 10 years ago. Granted I have been at a dealership my entire career, but it is just getting harder and harder to make a living.

[@WickedNature2112]

Awesome comment!👍🔨🏠👷🏼‍♀️👷🏼‍♂️🙃

[@Tinyteacher1111]

I just wrote something about that comment as well. So true! It’s happened! People can’t get anyone to work for them, the young people don’t want to start from the bottom, etc. I’m sure you are seeing this now. A guy I know has a high-end European car repair business, and has not been able to get workers to learn his trade and extended knowledge, and perhaps take over the business. It’s all over the place. There’s a sense of entitlement that is the status of a lot of young people, and I’m not sure what they think will happen to them in the years to come. Thanks for your comment. I had forgotten that part of it. 🙏

[@robertrosson1990]

As A. Old time carpenter it's refreshing to see you the young generation at least some of you doing quality trim work would have nice to have the power tools that are used today back then back in my days we had mostly none power tools all our trim was hand nailed leaving zero marks setting the different size finishing nails a lot of our trim work was stained no caulking or paint we used a copeing saw in most corners but was always really nice copes today a lot of younger carpenters have no idea what a coping saw it much less know how to use one.Its nice to see some skilled carpenters that take pride in their work.Taking your time and paying attention to do the details right and having really nice neat and tight joints is a quality carpenter.

[@gilhierro5850]

Robert Rosson ,,,,You are very right .... I am new to this, but I like to use the copysaw ,,,, the other trimmers only the electrical tools ,,, and everything happens to do a very bad job, but very bad ,,, the bad thing is that they have enough work

[@matthatesford]

This is quality craftsmanship. Found your channel a week ago and I cant stop, your talent and character show in every facet of your work. I'd like to just step into a house you've touched

[@swill1020]

As a guy that spent 25 years in an office as a stockbroker by day after work enjoy being humbled by my skills of home improving. Thanks to this guy for helping me with finish carpentry and teaching me a professional’s skills. Love my DeWalt airless nailer too. I do need help with all my copes. That includes my crown.

[@battlepope6256]

keep it up bro you're a renaissance man

[@jayjay6516]

Wow! This dude is really good. The difference between a professional finished carpenter and a DIYer is crazy. I learn a ton from his videos.

[@laszlodesimon4768]

I never cease to be amazed at your incredible talent and woodworking skills! Thank you for your wonderful videos showing how it's done and with such precision. You are an inspiration for all who watch, thanks.

[@TheLastPharm]

Nice to see a young fella with a healthy passion for practical craftsmanship. Love hanging out with you while my wife is binge watching nonsense on Netflix, otherwise I would have gone bonkers long ago.

[@1950justin]

I watched several of your videos before I subscribed to your channel and I have watched many more since. You are an impressive finish carpenter with an excellent attention to detail. This video serves as proof of both points. You seem to be upstanding, honest, and kind - I hope you have not deceived me (like standing near a tall door). I also hope you continue to share your videos. By the way, I love your Duh Walt level.

[@algorythemQ]

I have watched shat loads of trim videos and YOUR'S is the best. Thanks...

[@ahnnhi8433]

Lol love his personality and learning his techniques. I can be a stickler for perfection so I really appreciate the tips for when I tackle my own DIY!

[@hdvictoryford5329]

This guy is so real. As one who loves finish work. The way he problem solves is just so relate-able. How to deal with out of plumb rises, uneven corners, is the real world. And yes iI have learned some great things from this young man that will help with some challenges we all run into. Keep up with the videos, love them. And Brah, It's a pleasure to watch you work, a real craftsman.

[@JohnWilliams-hn3wn]

Great job man! I love doing trim work and building cabinets and it always bothers me when you see finishers fill gaps with caulk and not take the time like you did here to do it right. Perfectionist... I love it.

[@MrLaroygetz]

I’m a young 64 year old Union Trim Carpenter and you impress the shit out of me. I’m happy to say that if future Trim Carpenters watch your videos they’d learn a lot. Your very talented with your problem solving and your quality work is exceptional. I really like when you own up to your mistakes while figuring out problems in finish carpentry. We all look at different angles to cut while scratching our head for solutions that cause a scrape pile. Nature of the business. Great Videos!!! In middle of November I’m run on a Hotel trim Job in Austin Texas, hope to run into you.

[@elonmusk8667]

The owner of this house has the nicest molding in the neighborhood.

[@johnrobbins6926]

I try, I try very hard to be clean and am learning more all the time.......my work has come a long way and I'm now comfortable taking on any jobs but I know theres still some areas that need tightening up in my work......I appreciate what you do bro and your work is 2nd to none.......

[@cannotcostsmorethancan]

Hell of a job man . Great video and hats off to your work and finish . Your videos ought to be the book to all newcomers imo . Hell of a finish .

[@dennispilotte7286]

Someone definitely raise your right! Your work is just amazing, your critical, thinking skills or above the best. Absolutely enjoy watching and learning from someone very talented as you are.

[@mymorristribe]

Wow, I've never seen such pride in one's work by a builder. Outstanding work sir!

[@joemadrid8331]

This is why I'm subscribed to this channel. This guy is clever! Often unappreciated talent and art work, is what this is. Our customers do not really know the stuff we go through to make it all happen behind the curtains. Thanks for sharing your knowledge man. Know you are very much appreciated here! Cheers!

[@USNERDOC]

Love your channel and content. I rarely comment but just had to say that transition was awesome ... loved watching you figure it out and then generate a sweet looking transition. Really appreciate your skill and style. Thanks! 👍

[@elijahhawthorne4311]

I've built custom log homes for 20 years and since watching your videos I've learned alot more and better ways to do trim thank you

[@garynelson2409]

I echo some of the other comments. It is enjoyable to watch you find a solution to a tricky problem. I also like how clean and tight your miters are. Great job.

[@davidhumber47]

Love your work, your channel, your character and your humility. Keep up the great work.

[@mrharlemike28]

lmao! That last part kneeling by the door was hilarious! Thank you for sharing a DEATAILED learning experience with you. GREAT WORK!

Man this is perfection and precision at the highest level! I've learned a lot from your videos, keep the amazing work!

[@jeromewilliams7457]

Thanks!

[@elvisvelez6609]

Great work man, I know this video is a little older but man, your craftsmanship is timeless... Way to go brother!!!

[@davefreed2818]

Nice work bro, glad to finally see another guy take pride in his work. Trim is the finishing touch to every job, i always cut my trim just a hair bigger than needed.

[@frankwyatt627]

great comment re: defeating the eye. i tell all my clients that my job is to fix a problem and defeat the eye so that it looks as though i wasn't even here. you so, are a good man and the transition is beautiful. god bless you.

[@jamestrapp8596]

I appreciate your problem solving and masterful workmanship .Thank you

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

It's like your talking to us individually and we see your master craftsmanship appear before our eyes! Thanks for a great video!

[@jeffostroff]

Love that optical illusion at the end! On the wood that goes up the stairs, do you plug in the holes with anything to hide the 18 ga brad nails? Also on the white baseboard seams, did you mud over the seams and sand or anything or is it OK to leave them visible?

[@robertroy6094]

I agree with Marcell...finish work is time consuming and you demonstrate how to persevere. Nice job!

[@Project_Bronze_114]

This is the first video of yours i've watched, and I have to say that I am super impressed! Thank you for making these videos, they are super helpful for everyone, and I for sure am planning on watching more!

[@dwaynecales6282]

This fantastic! I just got the DeWalt Compound miter saw and am preparing to trim out my house. I am totally green, never done anything like this. I am a plumber and trying a new field of work! Thank you for these videos!

[@Peggapoo]

I want to give a shout out to your parents or whoever it was that taught you “respect”. You respect everyone enough that you will show what is wrong without naming names or giving away a location. Your level of perfection is what I want for myself. Your instruction will help me to attain that level. I hope someday to be able to meet you. I am 64 years old and believe you can teach an old dog new tricks. Thank you.

[@sinr764]

RARE IN THIS DAY N AGE! YOU TREAT PEOPLE HOW YOU WOULD WANT TOO BE TREATED!, BUT THE HONORABLE PART OF IT, IS TO DO AND LIVE THAT WITHOUT THE ASSUMPTION OF NOT GETTING IT BACK IN RETURN. BECAUSE AS YOU HAVE LEARNED ITS NOT THE WAY OF THE DAY!!

[@cplcombat]

Bless you for you keeping it real. You are an awesome carpenter and a good guy. So blessed to learn from your skilks.

[@elstongunn4277]

Love the dedication to perfection, even in spaces where you know most people wouldn't see it or notice it. I would, but that's how I am. Many would slop anything together thinking that it's going to be covered in stain or paint so who cares. You care, which makes you an excellent finish carpenter/artist and sets you apart from the second-rate "good-enoughs" who have no pride in their work or themselves.

[@omegaman2024]

Im a 52 yr old finish carpenter and i must say you do great work. Your very conscientious, seem to have a good head on your shoulders. You'll go far.

[@chuckdrake5285]

Great video. It is very informative to see you work out this fit. Helps the rest of us mortals! Keep it up!

[@ghostinthetreeline]

These get better and better. Thank you for another great video and the great content/instruction. You make me look at this a totally different way.

[@dougmcnattin386]

As an older retired carp. I'm glad to see someone else pull a solution out of their hat. lol. The comment about rap was just delicious too. I'll be following your channel from here on out. I always enjoy these things. Keep up the good work.

[@SethPortland]

That ending man. You got me.

[@timwaldburger3477]

This guy is awsome! I've been in the trades for 40+ years, worked with many craftsmen, and this young man is in the top 3 finish carpenters I've had the pleasure to work with! I would love to work alongside him.

[@Quest4theQuails]

"Don't let that deception carry over to your personal life" 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@vincentgiudice5701]

Carp 35 yrs I learned a couple of things from u. You caused me to buy the miter finder and the instant set glue. NICE. THANKS

[@gorillagoalie23]

I really love the way you see things. I would have done it the same way. I would enjoy working with you. Thanks man!

[@elijahchristian9632]

Amen and God bless to you. I got a good little chuckle out of the last segment of this video. Been watching many of your videos this day and enjoyed all of them, and learned a few things myself. I am an old rough carpenter and respect your patience and knowledge. [Whenever I would frame I would take into consideration the person that would follow me, such as the drywall guys and finish carpenters, etc. One thing that I was taught as a young lad was to work and do the job as if it was for me and that I would be going behind myself with the next step].

[@arniepili5364]

Very impressive technique indeed. I love watching your videos

[@devilsbrigade1826]

My finisher and I worked together in completing a high end home; Like you, we were meticulous with the details but guess what -people with discerning eyes really notice. Good work ethic and attention to detail is why I kept watching your video. Don't listen to comments from donkeys about speed, which as you already stated, comes with repetition. Its refreshing to see someone take the time to do a job that well. Your application of those glues on each of the varied cuts was nice touch too -keep it up!

[@SmokingDeWalt]

You have an awesome talent and skill, thanks for sharing!

[@tomd1696]

An honest hard working young man with integrity. Gotta love it!

[@VCGConstruction]

Yo cuz, thanks for sharing that stair skirt transition, I just couldn’t visualize how it was gonna turn out !!

[@markbonham3477]

I liked what you came up with and also your attitude is that of the student which any great craftsman always loves to learn something new. Thanks for sharing!

[@Frankreddy62]

Another great video dude. How you did that transition, blew me away. Awesome work. Thanks for the lesson.

[@jarrodriker9845]

Very impressive, enjoy your videos This is why I enjoy finish carpentry because it’s seen every day It’s always about the details

[@happydays577]

The same way I am thinking about it. Love to watch the process. Makes me feel like I am there. I am stuck doing computer contracts but what I really love is renovation projects.... but I guess life is not long enough to do everything you love

[@Wroom90]

I am myself a diy carpenter and would probably stopped in the corner, or maybe used a different piece of trim to continue upwards. I think your solution was very clever and smart! I would not have come up with that solution myself, and wouldn't have thought you could join trim in that way! I don't understand why you have 6 % dislikes as your content is great, and your work is excellent at very detailed levels.

[@skippylippy547]

Breath-Taking! Solid workmanship. ^5

[@awesht1163]

Very great job,I've been doing it for over 20 years and to come up with a great solution to that transition is excellent, keep up the great work

[@ericsmith7508]

I really enjoy the fact that you show the problems and how to tackle them, I’m a guy that loves paying attention to the details & you do it well. Thanks Oh and the comment on gangster rap I couldn’t agree with you more, it’s sickening.

[@shaneroper477]

Nicely done! A fine display of patience and perseverance. It payed off. Looks great!

[@kevinkohut5096]

You, sir, are an artisan, professional, and extraordinary finish carpenter. And, more importantly, you are a decent human being. The world needs more people like you.

[@Guywithair2]

One of my biggest flaws when doing carpentry work is I rush to finish a project. Watching you take your time just to accomplish a transition was rewarding and shows me its okay to take some time.

[@prslespaul]

The tape measurer hook slides back and forth to count for the thickness of the hook itself. You don't have to pull it tight when pressing the hook against what it is you're measuring. It slides back a 16th to make up for the thickness of the hook itself and it slides back a 16th when you're pulling the hook to measure to displace the thickness. I know this is an old and probably know this by now but who knows. Great tips by the way, I love watching more intricate in detail like this!

[@williambutler3695]

That was clean. Weird transitions are where you can set yourself apart for competition both positively and negatively.

[@getemboi730]

Integrity and impeccable craftsmanship. Thank you for your videos I have learned a whole lot from your teachings. Respect ✊🏽 bro

[@wurzelle1999]

You are so spot on with the Gangsta Rap. I think that's why we hear so much foul language everywhere. I can safely watch your channel with my Grandkids without being bombarded with bad language. THANKYOU!

[@LuisAlvarado-pu2id]

I enjoy watching your videos. I have learned alot. Good job overcoming any challenge. I remodeled my first house from floors, baseboards, all doors and trims, kitchen cabinets and much more and what a challenge being the first time and buying all tools to get it done. I was scared but took the challenge and learned and made mistakes but oh well at the end saved lots of money. Sold house and all who visited house to see if they were interested were asking who was the contractor so they could hire. Again great job teaching us beginners.

[@weezer1088]

That is an Awesome piece of work there ! It all just flows together . Like pin striping with wood . Nice Job .

Hi my man! Loving all your videos. For the transition you could of installed the upright and the small 45degree piece then installed the small piece with a cope into your upright. I hope that makes some sense.

[@littlemissy8356]

The Starrett tool is the bomb. I used it for about 8 outside corners, and hit my make every time for beautiful outside corners. I should say thanks to the Finish Carpenter.
