Just so everyone knows, these videos are uploaded on the same day that they are recorded. This all happen today. People want to see the finished product, but I can't show the finished product until we are done. Should be done tomorrow though!...hopefully

[@ManuelDiaz-zs3or]

Awesome videos... Very interesting results by light switch, excellent work....I cant wait to see the final results...keep an eye on the tools..... My pops was working inside a customers home when a truck rolled up scoping out his tools in the truck.... Just then the next door neighbors saw and alerted everyone scaring the thieves away..... Great material.... To be continued..... 🍻 Riv Ca

I've been a carpenter for the last 36 years and I can tell you this, you have a fantastic grasp of the trade and wonderful demeanor. The way you explained, video and layout what you're doing and how to do it is an inspiration to me even after 35 or 6 years. You should be very proud of yourself my young friend.. Greg

I second that... He's young and knows the ropes like Tyson in his prime, good to see youth holding the line of quality over his profits... I'm from cast iron and copper pipes to pex and PVC, you roll with the punches, but this dude gots it right... I give his dad sum props because you know whoever taught him this was oldschool... I use a ridgid tool set, only because tti makes Milwaukee, and ridgid so I am definitely not paying for milfucky, they got redurp prices but the little bro works well, he uses ridgid so I know he is smart... lol

One thing I've always wanted to mention, Richard - I really appreciate how polite and considerate you are. Both in your work and in your videos. Especially the part about no cussing!

[@sterry1962]

B DMI Hey

[@johnnyjohn8073]

S Terry, what about the part where he lies to the customer, while documenting it on video, about finishing on time when in reality it will take him one more week? From being in this line of business, I know for a fact that most contractors lie to customers about a timely finish when it's not true. You're right about what you mention, it's just this part that bothers me because it gets under my skin to hear contractors lie all the time.

[@chicken311]

Love it, I'm a finish carpenter, mainly doing exterior cedar columns and trusses but do do a lot of interior trim and door setting. Reveals are my biggest frustration dealing with other trim carpenters, its the first thing I see when i walk into a house. You're attention to detail is outstanding and just the overall pride you take in your work. Keep it up man! I wish you lived in northern indiana so we could hire you, lol.

[@boominrick1987]

Not sure if you still check the comments since the video is a couple years old. But for tools in the driveway while your inside. Harbor freight sells wireless driveway chimes. You could place it in the driveway and if there is motion it will alert you where your working. Just piece of mind when both of you are inside working.

Great to see a trade taking pride in their work. Keep up the great work and keep producing these videos.

[@irish62sullivan93]

Was browsing KZbin watching a variety of trim carpentry vids. You do good work. I am also a high-end trim carpenter working in multi million dollar homes. Took note of your comment regarding the thickness difference of boards from different suppliers. From my experience this is caused by the miller making the boards themselves; different production batches and milling machines. You are using pre-primed boards which can also cause thickness differences. We always run our boards through an onsite planer. This eliminates the need to thoroughly examine each board when purchasing. Bosch makes an excellent onsite planer. I'm sure you already know this though. Gotta love the cordless guns... Senco is my preference for finish guns. I run the 60 volt flex dewalt saw only because I can use the same battery in my other dewalt cordless tools, power planer, sanders, vacuums, etc.

Hello Richard. I love your videos, you guys do a great job and the easy to follow instructions and advices you give are wonderful. I'm from Macedonia, Europe and there are almost none trim work professionals here. I like the looks of trim, so I installed some MDF base boards in my apartment by myself. I learned the coping technique (without a coping saw since I cannot find such a tool here or in the neighbouring countries) and the return cut. I'm interested in the job you perform so if you can please point me to some stuff: - what is 'by' thickness material?, - what product do you use to caulk the reveal on the door casing in this video before you do the paint job, - what product/putty do you use to cover the nails in MDF, - when pocket screwing MDF, do you use the coarse or fine thread kreg screws. There are no pros in this trade in my country, so noone to ask here. The jobs I've seen here using painted MDF in furniture making are not that durable since the pain cracks at the joints over time. Thanks.

I certain that in a perfect world you would have matched the existing casing but in this instance I'm glad you didn't. The casing you selected is exactly what I was trying to find before I began replacing/upgrading the woodwork in my home. I'm almost halfway finished and seriously considering tearing out the new casings. I custom built my plinth blocks and entablatures with necking so it won't be overly difficult. Please supply the manufacturer's name/style information. I'm going to try to find it in my area. The casing you used is exactly what I need. Great job on the videos! Thank you!

[@eddiemacias7104]

Awesome video. Been watching you for years. Just curious as to how you prep to spray the wood after it’s installed? Does that graco spray tip you use shoot a lot of excess spray? Do you have to tape and plastic alot?

[@Derek-xr3uq]

Looks great so far! Any time I rip down Selex more than a 1/2", I have issues with it warping, twisting or bowing out a few weeks to months later. I know it's not you usual go-to, but have you had any problems with it? Not sure if it is a supplier issue to the Home Depot's in my region or what.

[@riotinto8621]

I like this carpenter, he is very good and also he has a very good way to communicate, well , what I am worried is if he charged just $ 3,500.00 for that amount of job. It looks like $ 3,500.00 dollars its to little for that repair project

[@jamespierce2939]

One recommendation is when using bare wood you need to paint or stain all sides. This is for keeping your good job looking great for years to come. The theory behind this is that any exposed wood will continue to absorb moister. So with one side coated and other side bare this will cause the board to warp over time. Which will lead to joints pulling apart over time.

[@robertmolitor7785]

Beautiful work but what did you do about the base where the molding was all tore up?

Kind of a weird question but it looked yesterday like maybe you guys were building your "wall" right on top of the floor protection paper you'd put down. Is that true, and if so do you just razorblade the paper around what you've built on top of it afterwards? Loving all the new videos.

[@vegasheat71]

Very nice trim work! I'm a wood finisher/painter of 30 + years and and I have to say, your work and attention to detail makes a painters job much easier to get to a cabinet grade finish.

[@kcgunesq]

Is your helper on a wanted poster? Why the old west bank robber look? Overall, love the videos. Nice work. Its refreshing to see a younger tradesman take pride in his work. Two camera related suggestions - try to get a camera that has less distortion. I know this house had some issues, but all of the doorways appeared to have significant barrel distortion. That is common on wide-angle lenses, especially on action cameras. Also, consider bringing in some LED light panels. It will give you the ability to really get light where you need it.
