I am teaching my nine year old grandson how to shoot videos. He is the one who recorded this footage for the video.

@@jodysanders6445 oh that sucks. Sometimes it’s little things like this that people struggle with, and when somebody has been done it forever they don’t realize that these little things are needed also. I am guilty of that focus mostly on complicated things and I really need to get more basic.

great video but how would you cut and join a seam when the carpet is laid down and stretched ie join a hallway into a bedroom doorway

I straight edge one side then mark the other side on both ends and in the middle. In the middle helps me a lot, it seems when you fold back the peice to straight edge it, the fold makes it off a little in the middle.

I assumed the exact same logic applies to cross seams? Out in Houston and since the hurricane been doing lots of replacing with builder grade carpets, cut-pile carpets with nap as short as the commercial loop-piles. I think this is the issue I’ve been having but with cross-seams, row cuts are no issue.

Seam looked great . Did you try awling it and it did not look good? Some products just don't like to be awled

Maybe a long shot here, but you wouldn't happen to know where I could find a plate for my wall trimer, the part where it holds the blades. The old school 10-616 roberts trimmers have been looking everywhere and can not find a replacement part...
