High end Finish Carpentry work on a Historical Home

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

Thanks to everyone who followed along in this whole series. In my opinion this is my best video I've ever made. Special thanks to Jon for being right there with me everyday and filming for me. Special thanks to my wife Ashley for literally bringing me lunch and spending time with me on site almost every day! Special thanks to Bobby Flores who linked me up with Hull Homes and Hull Millwork. Special thanks to Chris Massie for being the best project manager. Dude is pure gold. Special thanks to Brent Hull for taking a chance and letting us work on such an awesome project And everyone else on site who made it possible. On to the next one!

[@myRefuge3710]

Absolutely stunning fellas. Great work.

[@thebobbyflores]

Glad to have you on site! It makes a huge difference to know you can turn a task over to a craftsman and they are going to pour their passion into getting it done right. We're looking forward to seeing your work on upcoming projects!

[@josephgreenwood5729]

Your excitement is contagious. This is why I subscribed. Keep up the great work.

[@taylorthompson9543]

Incredible work guys, this was a monumental task and you killed it. It’s so fun watching y’all work through a project like this but to then get to see your reaction to it being completed. Nobody would see that work and not be amazed. And based on your reaction, you can tell the pride that you take in your work and you should. There’s no ceiling too tall for you guys, enjoy it and I can’t wait to see what’s next! Oh one more thing: I know you said y’all learned a lot but so did we.

[@oldskoolwayy]

LoL he is hooked now on craftmanship home building now..he is never going back to production building

[@JM-sz4oi]

I'll never again look at a finished room in quite the same way. They'll always "second best". You really raised the bar.

[@goodtobehandy]

It's great to see that there are still people who want this level of detail. Your skills are on display to inspire the next generation.

[@markjames3562]

I believe the greatest compliment I can accept is when I look back at a project and say "I'm pleased with this". Lots of people say how much they like it but they don't know what it took to complete a job of which I am proud of the finished product. You have every right to say how much you are satisfied product and to me you are the final judge of if it is good enough. Keep up the excellent work.

[@KnightGravy]

Sliding things past yourself is the hardest thing to do. I’m my own worst critic. Never stop improving!

[@ScottHammet]

I've done enough (bad) carpentry in my spare time--homeowner projects--to know and appreciate just how much I don't know, and to respect the skill of those that do. Really cool seeing you guys show off your craft, and take pride in the work. Thanks for sharing.

[@timf5963]

I got into it about 4 years ago and the things I did then were beyond amateurish. I've learned to slow down and go into everything with a plan. I feel I'm at the point where I can do slightly better than most companies I could hire around here.

[@KnightGravy]

If the companies in your area are anything like mine… you were doing better four years ago. I love looking back at what I’ve done in the past compared to today, and I cringe too.

[@Couldnt-think-of-a-clever-name]

I wish home's had that charm and class that they use to have. Richard you should definitely count yourselves among the master class.

[@peterlaughlin930]

Impressive doesn’t even begin to describe this work truly truly amazing craftsmanship

[@ricardogoodwin5908]

It turned out amazing, congratulations.

[@royordway9157]

You and John should be proud of all of that work. In the 46 years I've been doing carpentry I have never had the opportunity to do really high-end custom work. I'm still able to get out of bed and go to work every day so, I'm still waiting.

[@edmessina8392]

State of the art Rich. Absolute mastery. Be proud...yet humble. You are.

[@taylormedia1000]

Hey man, this is not a rant. You obviously feel you stepped up your game, and that’s a beautiful feeling. You’ve made what otherwise would be a house into a home. Thumbs up.

[@stukaman1162]

This is NOT a rant, my good man! You have every reason to be proud of this incredible showcase of craftsmanship. The skills you learned on this project should serve you well into the future. It ain't bragging if you can back it up.

[@detroitdiy]

Richard you're video's are amazing, you have helped me up my game. You're knowledge and desire to push yourself beyond your own limits will take you to the top of the industry. Thanks for everything you share!

[@mackenziepullee3907]

That homeowner is lucky to have the opportunity for you to geek out on this project. Solid work 🎉

[@StevenJamesPorter]

Man, I've been following you probably since the beginning of this channel. I split off into finer woodworking a long time ago and have always kept watching. It is so amazing to see where you are going into this space now. It is clear you've found a new passion in the same umbrella of carpentry and it's awesome and inspiring. And thank you so much for bringing us along in this!

[@mattcartwright8272]

Fantastic Richard! Remember, you didn't get a break from Brent by chance. You got it because he could see how good you are. I'm sure there was a little faith and trust involved but his instincts were correct. You and Jon have achieved stunning results and you have repaid him handsomely. Having followed you since early on it's wonderful to see how you and Jon have progressed. You're definitely in the A-stream now. Onwards and upwards! 👍

[@FodderMoosie]

An absolutely stunning body of work, and I'm sending prayers to anyone who's going to have to dust that place. Awesome job, all of y'all!

[@Mister006]

The color choices really enhance the finish work. They are not excessive in tint and tone, and topping it off, the paint is high quality and the painters did an excellent job!

[@ohmike813]

Superb editing! Your film making has progressed as your craftsmanship has advanced. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Mike

[@pointnemo369]

A well deserved congratulations to you and Jon. It's beautiful. A shout out to PM Chris and Brent Hull who gave the burden and the privilege of growth.

[@RedRoyce]

We could see how excited you was to give us this look into your work. That is as the kids say "sick" So nice and your pride in your work shows how much you enjoyed doing it and you know you did a great job for the owners. I love it man! Thank you and thank the owners for letting you show us you skills. I wish I could do half as good as you do and you come up with so many cool ideas on how to make something one of a kind. I want to see more of the house now. LOL Thanks again

[@billernst840]

Glad to see you’re still learning on every project. That makes me feel normal. You’ve cost me a lot of money over the last few years on tools and trying to replicating your beautiful craftsmanship.

[@donwilliams3626]

Richard this is superb workmanship. I am glad you allowed us to watch over your shoulder as you were going.

[@evelyncoleman7476]

You're the best! Wow, if my dad was alive he would be cheering for your craftsmanship.

[@vinht23]

I love the growth this channel has been through. The more you learn. The more we learn. Thank you from a DIY'er.

[@chevypower2012]

Fantastic work I began cutting my teeth on fine finish six years ago and since I've come upon your channel I get a lot of informative knowledge it's not just your hands on work but the delivery and presentation of the videos it's easy to follow and grab those little bits of education your giving thank you great job again some day when we're gone some one will appreciate the work we have left behind

[@heartwormskillcats8357]

That is absolute God tier carpentry skill. Holy crap you do amazing work.

[@campion05]

Ben Moore Advance is all I've used on trim and spraying for cabinets. For those who don't know about the paint. Do yourself a favor and pick up a gal ( pricey ) and give it whirl. Dove White is our go to color for white cabinets and trim. Sprays with less than 10% water dilution. The secret is it is an Alkyd that is carried with water and cures like an enamel after the water content has evaporated. My wife comments a lot that her kitchen shelves are as new as 7 years ago. The paint holds up to glassware and plates that come in and out daily. As with any successful painting spray or brush preparation is the key. Your right Richard Ben Moore Advance was the perfect choice for that project. Thanks for sharing.

[@billger5710]

Love to see the counterpoint to "good enough" with perfection. And if you think you learned so much, you will be rewarded with more challenges in the future. Appreciate the quality too in the vids.

[@erikarcher1869]

Seeing the look of joy and accomplishment on your face makes me really happy for you. I'm just a flooring installer with some mild finish carpentry skills, but seeing your work is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing all the great content, and here's to your continued success!

[@HawaiianNeal]

Richard, I’m so grateful for providing us with your experiences every step of the way. We can see that you truly love your work and the the end results show. Keep up with the exquisite work!

[@fuzion430journey3]

Dude that is off the charts, phenomenal work you’ve earned your black belt you are now officially one hell of a craftsman

[@taffygeek]

Spectacular. Impressive work to be proud of.

[@dunep6465]

I've toured some of the mansions around the world and this place has some of the best detail work I've ever seen. Well documented and great craftsmanship.

[@JWick-ry7wf]

Just don’t forget where you came from and the help you got from other people along they way , So pay it forward to the new guy who ask for your Input . Very nice work well done !!!

[@GroundedFlyboy737]

Keep doing these type of projects, and before you know it, you'll be the most sought after finish carpenter in Texas - congrats !!!

[@mitchdenner9743]

Seamless craftsmanship. Nice job! 👍

[@GnosticJuggernaut.]

Man I wish I had a John. He works hard and comes to work everyday. Damn everyone needs a John. I had to edit. I wanted to say it looks amazing. Great job fellas

[@jwcarter300]

It was flipping awesome to watch this series, and seeing it finished, no words can describe it.

[@glennwhite6704]

Dude! So proud of the work you did on this project, it looks amazing. Been following you for a whole and the artistry I knew you had in you has finally materialized in this 5 month project. Even if you don't make much of a profit, or none at all, the learning/education you've gained and shared is unmeasurable. Be proud of what you and your crew have done and use this project as a level to leap off and accomplish greater things. So cool man!

[@calvinloi8413]

Thanks Richard for sharing. Love your passion, enthusiasm, and youthful glee from your craft. You Sir are a wood craftsman.

[@garywilkinson6832]

Beautiful work Richard. Inspirational. I’ve been doing medium-high end kitchens for a while and it’s getting a but same old. You’ve given me the thinking about going out and choosing more challenging, more creative work in these projects. Bravo dude. Fun to see you work and excitement.

[@philborland2003]

Your just a class act Richard thanks so much for sharing not only this but all of it. Family, work, and you are so laid back and relaxed.

[@funvideos2633]

Obviously you loved doing this job. You have now elevated yourself to the next level. Great job.

[@dagwood1327]

Some real quality craftsmanship. Obviously a real architect making design decisions. You can be real proud of your part for years to come.

[@ksard4142]

Your dedication to craftsmanship and passion for the art of woodworking is why I enjoy watching your channel. You should be very proud of your effort in that house.

[@pilfered1685]

That morning room is just beautiful! Seems so technical.

[@renemercado8618]

It all looks amazing and really showcases when finish paint is on. Solid craftsmanship by both of you. You two are a great team. Blows the mind to imagine craftsmen of the past did that intricate work with hand tools and their bag of tricks. Thanks for the videos and take care.

[@arthuresparza2617]

Followed you for awhile, and the job looks like a lot of work. You've come a long ways from just running MDF trim. Respect.

[@pearsonsp06]

Your work is phenomenal! As a professional painter, it would be a pleasure to paint after you.

[@dsdragoon]

It did turn out beautiful! You showed us how proud you are of your work, and you should be very proud. Thank you for sharing it.

[@michaelmancini5773]

Really nice work brother , I don’t know you personally, but my being in the trade for 36 years and seeing a guy like you at your age knock this work out is gratifying, and your not afraid to show your mistakes, ( which we all, no matter how good), make ‘em

[@billy42300]

some people learn how to do something for the money, and some people learn how to do something so they won't have to depend on someone else doing it, but I can tell you not only enjoy your skill but you love it. Good work brother.

[@curtisblair7618]

Awesome job Richard. That is definitely something special that you can be proud of being a part of. Congratulations man.

[@den-yc3hv]

Great job!!! Everything is so thought out. I’m a painter for custom homes and that guy you got killed it . There was so many details it’s def one of those expensive but worth it paint jobs.

[@GreenAppelPie]

It took me a while but yeah BM paint is the best. I’m super happy you’re learned so much and ready to do more.

[@SIAFU]

Literally a masterclass of Craftsmanship!

[@TheHandystanley]

Wow Richard (and John) you two killed it! Kurt at Windsor One will be proud of you guys. Hope more work of this caliber comes your way.

[@ericallen5032]

Awsome job Richard. This type of work makes me wonder how they did this with out power tools in the past. These are the type of jobs that give you great experience that is like getting extra pay when you use it in the future. I enjoy historical homes but its hard to find people willing to pay what it takes to do it right. Great work!

[@rickysdrywall5288]

Amazing work! You should be proud of yourself on this one. In this world of production it's nice to see someone still doing quality work.

[@547Rick]

OUTSTANDING! You sure have stepped up your craftsmanship! Well done!

[@bobscruggs8886]

I was doing a kitchen refacing job and had to put Formica on a base cabinet with weird baseboard and needed a cove cut, I tried a sand belt driven knife sharpener it fits in the hand great control it came out as perfect as it could get, the homeowner saw me do this and said ' that's why your work is worth the price I paid " This was the first time I tried this method .

[@roczilla6834]

Oh yea! It looks amazing and to have a top notch painter behind you really highlights everybody’s hard work. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@colbysvids]

I would love to see you do some stairs with newel post ,spindles and handrail. Straight runs or ones with landings. Circular would be the best!

[@sarabates2046]

I love that you love learning and doing excellent work. Congratulations on a job well done. Stay strong and stay true.

[@markpalmer5311]

Spectacular and so glad you’re in North Texas!!

[@MrStraeker]

Your work is super clean, really enjoy the craftsmanship but on another level, your video presentation, communication, and editing make for extreme pro level watchability. You give the right shout outs to those who help you and it all boils down to worthwhile content, don't stop.

[@CHenry1951]

There is only one thing to say............................ Outstanding !!

[@omroutdoors7178]

I love to you see your pride in what you have accomplished. Well done.

[@russkellogg8189]

Truly incredible work! You are a true craftsman One of the things I enjoy the most about following you is your passion and excitement for your work and your thirst to continue to learn and improve and take on new challenges.

[@georgejetson4378]

Richard, You’re amazing! Beautiful work as always. Thank you for posting this. I always look forward to seeing your fantastic work.

[@christophsan4040]

So happy for you and John to get to work on this. Your skills and detail are amazing to watch

[@benny09172011]

Great work guys! I love the sense of pride and accomplishment you have for your work. Amazing and refreshing to see craftsmanship and passion!

[@waterchickenwoodworxbydanb42]

You guys should be very proud yall did one hell of a job and it is so nice to see someone that really cares about the work you put out and are trying to learn a be a great craftsman. Well done 👏

[@dougwestberry3093]

I have no words. Your talents are incredible and I appreciate you taking us along on this journey. Well, well done!

[@michaelhorne1955]

i'm very proud of you. it's great to see some one keeping the old trade going

[@jeremyburch5850]

Absolutely amazing, Richard! Trim work is coming up soon on my kitchen reno, and I'm so glad I've been able to learn from a true craftsman for the last few years before I get started. My kitchen is going to look much better with the help you've provided.

[@martinkoenig172]

Dude you are legit, this why Brent hired you guys,he recognized talent, great job.

[@robertbamford8266]

It is beautiful. So many creative touches. Using the profiled edges ripped from the casing - ingenious. One thing I noticed was the floor. It really works well as a design element. But … those chamfered edges used to be the mark of pre-finished flooring, spoken of as dust-catchers (with disdain) as the designer recommended unfinished flooring, sanded uniformly smooth and finished in place.

[@fishimust4766]

Thanks Richard for showing the trim after being painted. That BM Advance is some top notch paint with a soft sheen. I just wish the recoat time wasn't so long. With the right airless tip and pressure setting, the carpentry work can look like the finest automotive finish. Excellent work as always!

[@JT_70]

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire series. Extremely impressive work! I hope you were compensated for the very high quality results, extra work and creative, custom design required and all the time that it took.

[@beverlyboys73]

Amazing work and craftsmanship. That's what it's about. Pride in a job well done.

[@robertrussell6614]

Hard work pays off. Beautiful build and beautiful documentation of the process.

[@waynegoebel395]

I don't know what they paid you for this job, or want to know, but the education you and your "team" received, has to be, beyond collegiate. So pumped for you, well done.

[@ScottyLo]

What a showpiece of your craftsmanship.

[@richkocher3330]

Well done. Beautiful work. Reminiscent of the wood work in the turn of the century mansion in the East.

[@Dazza19746]

Stunning! You’ll never be out of work with that under your belt Well done

[@stephendimarino5570]

Absolutely beautiful work. You guys knocked it out of the park on this one!

[@mayorstoner3459]

Very beautiful work. The pride showing on your face is awesome.

[@papadave9061]

Richard, I knew this was a special project from the start, but I have to confess I haven't followed all the vids. Now that I've seen this one, I'll make sure to go back for the rest in sequence. Just superb work. I'm glad you were given the time to do this to such a high level of craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@chutetogether]

Awesome work. I want to also credit the homeowner. While it of course takes money, it also takes appreciation for the skills and time such results require to be able to enjoy such a setting they can call home. Especially when this kind of work is so rare today, credit is due all the way around.

[@Worktocruise]

You and john absolutely crushed it on this job!!

[@vanduraful]

Hell yeah, man. That’s gotta be a great feeling. You just leveled up!

[@ryanodonnell1892]

Nice recap. It is super fun to see the finished product! Looks soooo good! Beautiful work here! Meticulous work.

[@AlexA-bx8jr]

99% of people walking through that morning room would never know the amount of effort that went into integrating moulding. Very cool detail.

[@jh5131]

It's beautiful you are truly a craftsman!!

[@krypton1982]

You should be so Proud. The opportunity, as well as how much, the quality and the level of growth. Invaluable experience that a lot don't get. That is amazing and timeless work! Congratulations on your levels up buddy!!! 😎👍💥💥💥

[@evelyncoleman7476]

The paint job is freaking amazing! Wow.

[@felkur]

Really impressive. Just started working on a large custom home in Whistler, Canada, and we are part way into the finishing stages. I can really appreciate your problem solving skills and precision when faced with unique cuts. Awesome!

[@tfbuild.oregon]

Fantastic job! I've worked on some pretty neat things, but nothing so extensive as this. I love seeing how genuinely proud of your hard work. Nothing compares to that feeling of gratification you get from stretching your capabilities and pulling it off beautifully. Also like to see you linking up with Brent Hull. So cool.
