Watching Brent Hull is like stepping into Narnia, where Mr. Hull is the ice king. Jacked, tan, buffed out of his mind, and majestic beyond belief. A true king of trim. Brent Hull carpentry school or riot!

[@BrentHull]

One day.

[@mikechan231]

The amount of detail is staggering but what a difference it makes.

[@BrentHull]

Agreed! Thanks.

[@terrancetenley2786]

We have a Pediment over the front door of our 1868 stone home that needs to be rebuilt. This video helps! thank you!

[@BrentHull]

Glad to hear it. Good luck!

[@echoewest2685]

That pediment is next level stuff, very interesting. That last bit about the 60 something degree cut seemed similar to what you have to do if you’re putting wainscoting up a stairway, with the parallelograms you have to make. Very good stuff, thanks for sharing!

[@BrentHull]

Great point! Thanks for watching.

[@honey_mesquitewoodshop1127]

Dont know what to say. You have saved me so much headaches, time, effort. I have been in the purse of this fit for almost 8 months. Thank you for such a cool video on this cool looking woodworking subject. I’ve attempted your technique and finally got the look I wanted. Thank you again

[@BrentHull]

Nice. Great to hear. Thanks.

[@zephyr1408]

This was a great video! Now as a finish carpenter I need to watch it several times! However; these are the greats ! The one we learn from extensively !

[@BrentHull]

Nice. Thanks for watching.

[@Timothy_Smith]

Brent- this is a fantastic explanation of this technique. Even for one such as I (a home woodworker slowly getting better), this is great stuff. Thank you.

[@BrentHull]

Thx for watching.

[@user-mk4xc8xn6f]

I'm sorry I didn't see this video a year ago. I'm sorry that in order to see it, I watched hundreds of videos that didn't give me as much useful information as this. Thank you for sharing this knowledge!

[@BrentHull]

So glad it helped.

[@shimonnygaard2265]

That’s awesome. Totally nailed is. 👍👍

[@BrentHull]

Thanks 👍

[@timslice2020]

What an awesome video. The only source of this information available. I had to figure this out on my own, dealing with some exterior crown on a historical house I worked on.

[@BrentHull]

Glad you liked it. Thx for watching.

[@thetubekid]

This is an incredible video and resource for us to build better! Thank you! Even that split second picture of the historic precedent of what was a gutter was really cool to see.

[@BrentHull]

Glad it was helpful! Thx for watching.

[@noahkelchner276]

The epiphany I had when you described braking the crown in 2 pieces to mess with the rake… I remember having a job where that exact situation would’ve save me some time and headache 😂

[@BrentHull]

Thanks for sharing.

[@adrianphilp2052]

Thanks to your videos and staring at the hundreds of Georgian pediments around new town (Edinburgh) I’ve now made my very own pediment for our front room built in 1808 (with correct proportions ) however My wife is sick of me talking about split fillets and bed mouldings

[@BrentHull]

haha. Glad it worked out. Congrats!

[@artemioquintero7866]

Thank you for the tutorial.

[@BrentHull]

You are welcome!

[@kevinbezat6417]

The video I was waiting for! I would have never thought to split the crown in two pieces for the rake to line up properly. Great vid! I’ll try and build one soon for practice.

[@BrentHull]

Awesome! Good luck.

[@glenncallahan9037]

Brent, You are the man! But that table saw rip is pretty dangerous, I would recommend making a sled.

[@BrentHull]

Good point. Thanks.

[@CHenry1951]

Brent, wow this was very, very informative even though I'll never build one, I really enjoyed this learning .....................

[@BrentHull]

Nice! Thanks for watching.

[@tc9148]

Could you do a video on building a classical dormer pediment with 7/12 pitch? It will be interesting to see the differences.

[@BrentHull]

Ok. Thx.

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

I haven’t seen anything like this on a house built in the last 50 years.

[@BrentHull]

I think that is because we've forgotten how to build it. Its best on a colonial revival or traditional house.

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

What wood would you recommend for exterior applications? What special coatings would help make it weatherproof?

[@BrentHull]

We like Sapele, but Windsor has a treated board. You can also use Accoya. paint with High-Gloss paint. Good luck.

[@afara2000]

Thanks for video but you didn't show how to cut the crown raking mould for both horizontal side and front pitched side of the pediment. What angle should I cut the pitched side corners, 22.5 degrees? Also, the angle for joining horizontal raking mould corner stays as normal right?

[@BrentHull]

Yes at 22.5. I figured that was the easier cut and didn't show it. Thanks.

[@johnkauffman3447]

Just wondering how to design moldings to put in a catalog, what program do I use? who do I call? I have a small shop and a molder in PA and I'm just trying to get my foot in the door with other local contractors so I can provide more value. thanks as always for the great videos!

[@BrentHull]

Good question! Not in my pay grade. I supsect a graphic designer or print shop could help. Good luck.

[@yoana2636]

I dont get it...I try do model it 3d cause I cant find how pediments are build. At moment 7:16 those 2 moldings that you say that fit, just dont see how...anyway great video!!

[@BrentHull]

Ok, more to come. Thx

[@domenicomucerino9831]

22.5 and 67.5 (90) , correct? Not 68.5 and 22.5, (91)

[@BrentHull]

Yes, not a math major. Thanks for the note.

[@slickmcCool]

90°-22.5°=67.5°

[@BrentHull]

LOL, that's why I'm not a math teacher. . . THanks.

[@slickmcCool]

@@BrentHull I understand, we're in a profession that that can't even get 2X4 right.

[@ericpalmer3588]

Whoa you rip on a table saw like that???? Scary

[@BrentHull]

be careful.

[@michaelford4894]

Drinking game! Take a shot every time he says “Right?”

[@BrentHull]

Haha, sorry about that.

[@CheeseBae]

6:24 Jesus Christ. Don't teach people to cut moldings that way. It's insanely dangerous. A little piece like that you can easier cut with a hand saw. Just mark the angle.

[@BrentHull]

Thanks.

[@davidb9150]

And at 12:35 is a no go . Unless you don't need all of your fingers
