How to Design and install Chair Rail + bead board / wainscoting

[@AaronK910]

I’ve watched quite a few how-to videos on KZbin and yours are by far the best. You don’t cut corners and you explain things thoroughly. I plan on using this video as a guide when I install bead board my powder room. Thank you!

[@jomcdonald9983]

MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo

[@Jeff-Champwild]

Jon I swear you're the master of the miter joint. You make it look effortless!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Jeff....appreciate it.

[@haroldbartley5970]

Nice project! Always adds a nice touch to a room with little effort. I like nailing in the groove of the bead, then I don't have to sand the little mound you get from nailing into mdf.

[@rivera_civic]

At first I thought you were ripping birch plywood but then you did that close up on the poplar. Very neat work Jon as usual. Thanks for sharing. I know a bunch of people will get good use out of this video..

[@ianfarrow8474]

First class job again Jon, done with your usual effortless skill.!!!

[@WayneWBishop]

Once again - perfection! I've done some wainscotting in the past, but this will my first attempt with beadboard. Starting to wonder what percentage of my house you've indirectly allowed me to remodel. Thanks for the great work!

[@CindyOrangeNeely]

I'm planning on doing this in my bathroom next week and I figured it would be an easy project. Thank you for the video!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That's great, good luck with the project, really makes a big difference

[@michaelr7110]

Thanks for sharing Mr. Peters! -- Almost didn't see it today, as I was on my way out the door from the office and decided to check for updates! Thanks again!!!

[@MsBess100]

So helpful and well done. We are currently redoing the walls and trim for our 1940s bungalow DIY.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you! I’m glad to hear and good luck with the project

[@joshuapruden6497]

Great Video. I felt like i was watching This Old House. Great Editing, Great Cameraman.

[@joefromottawa]

Great content. I appreciate Jon taking the time to film and edit.. great entertainment

[@KyleSoldani]

Great video Jon! Subscribed from here on. Beginning a beadboard project in our kitchen and half-bath thanks to this guidance.

[@alexmoulding1501]

Nice detail added here on this wainscot panelling!

[@thekeith1221]

Great job john. It looks real nice

[@ewar2066]

awesome job... can you make a video on how to hide the seam where the boards join.. did you end up painting the panels? thanks in advance Tom

[@BrianS2464]

You're too humble. The video was great. I'm going to do this tomorrow.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Brian, good luck with project.

How would you handle an uneven wall at the corners? We live in an older house and settling has made most of the walls out of whack to some degree. This is very apparent when one wall intersects with another when dealing with vertical lines.

[@mrchromaticable]

Love the colour of the walls

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

really looks good!

[@twistedscissors2]

Amazing work Jon.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you, appreciate the comment

[@dienekes4364]

I just watched 2 Home Depot videos about installing wainscoting and both just glassed over dealing with power plugs. The 2 seconds that were shown here was much more detail than they went into. If someone followed those, they would have plugs that were inset back into the wall so the cover would never go over them.

[@michaeljbreault]

Thanks for the detailed video Jon.

[@woodyssawshop266]

Very Nice Job! These ideas will help with my first bead board project. Thank You..!

[@imtiaziqbal3041]

Thanks for this video. Really helped me to do the project. God bless you!

[@peterwormald8904]

Hi Jon , I've messaged you before on this job, I've completed the whole room (looks great) and built in a loose panel/ access door for heating unit which has bowed out a little. Any thoughts on how to prevent, remedy it🤔 cheers P

[@lolamattiello4879]

Also, amazing job on the video and the finished product looks great!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Lola

[@TwylaWorld]

HI! If I don't have the baseboard installed yet, should I bead board then put up the baseboard? Thanks for an awesome tutorial!!

[@margaretpervier8357]

You do beautiful work!

[@SarasSmile3]

Hi! Really enjoyed the video. This is almost exactly what I would like to do in my dining room. Now, I am very inexperienced in this type of improvement and have limited tools and money. The dining room is small and there is an existing chair rail and baseboard molding that I would prefer not to remove/change if possible. Is the project do-able with out removing these? Thanks!

[@Delius6699]

Mary LoPreste Home Depot sells textured beadboard wallpaper that looks just as good as the real thing, and is much easier and cheaper to install. You can also order it online, and search for videos and articles on how to install. You can easily work around your existing molding, or get ready-made molding that they will cut for you at any home improvement store, or just get an inexpensive miter box! I did my entire stairwell top to bottom with the beadboard wallpaper, looks beautiful!

[@dorseydorseyG]

you lead, and I will follow ! I think you have got your act together.

[@priceypads]

Beautiful Job! Plan on doing this in my family room.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

priceypads Thanks

[@clairehughes2203]

Nice tribute to Warren Zevon during the intro.

[@MrAmagaska1976]

awesome video Jon thanks very much

[@lyndonp6296]

Which type of glue did you use to mount the beadboard to the painted wall ?? Looked like PVA wood glue ?

[@tomnewell6651]

nice simple moulding but so effective

[@JacobsenBros]

What did you do with that outside corner? did you just overhang and paint?

[@KalanyMightBeADawg123]

I am getting ready to purchase our first home. And I want to do this from the living room to the dining room. Since they are combined.

[@scottc8448]

Thanks for the video. I'm curious if you had to extend the electric box or use spacers for the outlet screws? Also, if you were putting this on top of baseboard heater, would you still use a toe molding? Thanks!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks, I don’t remember but I didn’t think so. . Maybe ad a 1x2 on top of the base board heat

[@TheJUiCy1117]

Awesome video, definitely going to do this to my kitchen. Thanks

[@matthewpoteet8876]

Were there any concerns about pulling the receptacle that far out of its box and perhaps exposing the area where a hot connection would come in contact with wood? @4:42

[@davidstraight4258]

Yes, he should use a switch box extension so which would keep the receptacle away from the wood.

[@MichaelZittel]

Thanks. Question. Where the bead board wraps around a corner to the door did you miter the long edge at a 45 degree angle to get a seamless connection? I ask because that is what I plan on doing, but am concerned that MDF bead board with splinter and chip.

[@dougchaffin2608]

Same here. I'm planning to use corner molding. Not going to risk the edge being wavy.

[@jew0182]

I’m looking at doing this around our dinning room with mdf wainscoting/beadboard as well as pvc wainscoting in our bathroom. Can you use liquid nail to adhere the material to the wall? Also are you nailing directly into the dry wall? I know you mentioned on the end of that one run there wasn’t a stub so you cross nailed to hold in place till the glue dried..? Thanks!

[@williamoconnell4696]

It was a great job I wish I had that Talent it saves thousands of dollars

[@uncleSamsites]

How did you fill the holes left by the nailgun? Just paint? Did you use poplar for the molding? Thx for the Nice video Jon! Thanks!

[@koteek8657]

Thank you for making this video! Very helpful.

[@formbyjim]

Great tips , thanks.

[@lancekelly8352]

beautiful work

[@liverman16]

Great Video. Thanks so much!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks

[@JonJon-gu7xy]

Another good video. Thank you.

[@halk7636]

Hello sir! Can you please advise me? Im not sure what can be done about the beadboard MDF that i added along the long wall facing the outside in my basement. It seems to have expanded and is wavy now. Apparently there are supposed to be joints in between the boards but I didn't know of this issue previously. And I watched few videos and no one left any gaps between the boards. Thanks!

[@Spencerfoto]

Hey Jon, when you get to an outside corner with the beadboard, do you miter the beadboard to make it fit nicely, or do you have to put a corner molding over it?

[@wade2361]

Came for the wainscoting, commenting because of the Warren Zevon quote. 👍

[@alexkras23]

Jon - my bathroom is odd-shaped. I am comfortable cutting the molding/chair rail at the measured angle, but what would be the best way to meet the beadboard on that unique angle to avoid an obvious seam? Much thanks, Alex

[@samquinn6427]

Smart putting the glue on the wall instead of the board. Like how you nailed the end with no stud. Should stay on the wall for a long time.

[@alatinaa9068]

Very nice work..............

[@johnnylightning1967]

Nice work

[@tomoliva3723]

what will yield the best look installing beadboard when there is hot water baseboard heating. Mine runs full-length of the adjoining walls

[@Skylyned]

Not sure if you mentioned it, but are you using standard wood glue for the beadboard on the wall?

[@nickk1502]

Great little face lift. Looks great! I'm looking to purchase a chop saw and I'm torn between the 71/4 blade to the 10". Any advice on the size of the blade for a miter saw? Awesome job!

[@markw3598]

12" slider is the best.

[@DanielMatthews2000]

Jon, thank you for the video. You make it look easy. Hopefully my project will turn out as well as yours. What gauge nail gun are you using/recommend? Did you shoot into only the studs (besides the end with no stud)? How do you do the corners with the bead board (internal and external joints)? Thanks in advance!

[@joeguida3156]

I dig the Warren Zevon reference as well as the woodworking, heh

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Joe Guida Thanks Joe, got to love Warren

[@sQWERTYFALIEN2011]

I follow Zevons advice .

[@samip8213]

Hi great job! I have couple questions. Was the bottom molding over the baseboard just a preference? Could you please explain how to do the corners? Do I simply cut them at 45 degree angles?

[@Msleelee9487]

finished my whole hallway except for a small corner behind my den door do I do one straight chair rail and 45 the small piece and cope to the straight piece already messed up a couple of boards the other corners wasn't hard this small one is don't want to leave it unfinished Thanks!

[@crod279]

What do I do when passing a low window? Is there a trim I need to do? Do I go into the sill?

[@thomasdavid3990]

What type of wood did you use for the trim. Do you have a cost and what was the final height for the top rail? It looks great

[@HotWingzzzzzzzzz]

im a beginner...but it would be nice to make your own trim board and chair guards. .cool vid

[@cejkwo100]

Jon,I noticed you use wood glue to adhere breadboard to wall. I would of thought construction adhesive.

[@alexandermilosevic_]

Jon, how do you deal with walls that aren't necessarily perfectly flat (slight warping) or is that not a big concern?

[@adamroman8242]

How do you handle the small holes left by the nail gun. Do you individually fill them all up or do you have a faster/easier technique? Thanks!

[@nholt]

***** after spackling / joint compound the nail holes do you paint the bead board and trim?

[@shiijon23]

Can I buy all the molding and board at Home Depot pre-made? Can I buy it and install it myself with glue and nail gun? (Trim nailer)?? Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@markw3598]

Yes.

[@renaissancemen1]

Gremlinsbreath had the same ? I have. Uneven inside corners I just scribe. It's the outside corners. I saw briefly that you just did a butt edge. How do you finish that? I haven't cone across one outside corner that is 90 degrees.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I’ll try to make a short video on that, it’s difficult to explain.

[@loricurtis3850]

This is great, thanks so much for that, Can I use a hammer instead of a nail gun?

[@nataliaschroeder9187]

Hi Jon, I am hoping you can help me with this question. I am installing bead board wainscoting in my son´s bedroom and have a dilemma. He has a reach in closet, and it is about three inches further back than the main wall, leaving a small wall. This wall has a round edge, so I do not know how to put the wainscot in this area. Could you help me out with some suggestions? I greatly appreciate it. Regards, Natalia

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Sounds like you are saying the corner bead on the sheet rock is round, if so just trim as you would any corner. There will be a small gap at the top of the chair rail that will need to be filled. Hope the helps.

[@nataliaschroeder9187]

***** Thank you Jon for answering so quickly, I think that would work perfectly in most cases, but I kept my original baseboard and that goes around the corner bead. If I do it that way I would be having a protruding edge at the bottom, correct? I hope I am getting the terms correct. Thanks again!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

really hard for me to know, sorry

[@AlbertMaruggi]

great job

[@robira1313]

Was that just normal Titebond glue that was used behind the beadboard? ...or is there a special kind of glue to use for this application.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Rob I just wood glue, works great

[@orchardfamilychannel9785]

My walls are not square and so what is the best way to fix corners when adding beadboard to the walls.?

[@petergifford5872]

Hi, want to ask about finishing nail you use with the nail gun. I built a cabinet the other day and I use a 1" finishing nail to hold it together but it came apart any tip on how and what happen why it came apart on me?

[@sephardishalom2693]

Thank you. Jesus loves you and your soul is priceless!

[@romeobravo78]

Jon, great video. I am planning on doing beadboard and a chair rail in the nursery, but I would prefer to not remove the existing baseboards. Is it possible to do this project without that step?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Sure if the base board is big enough and will still have reveal that looks good.

[@vvtubevvv]

Enjoy every sandwich. Cool.

[@itsmenckgonzalez]

Any chance we can see before and after shots of the painted kitchen cabinets?

[@priscillawatson5876]

which paint did you use? I hesitate to finish with gloss. Thanks!

[@terrycorter6162]

What type of blade did you use on the circular saw?

[@Petesbrobob]

Great job

[@kcorpora1]

Why is it necessary to use glue on the walls?...If the board even needs to come down or a mistake is made putting it up, then it would rip the walls up removing...Thanks for a response.

[@gsh319]

Hey madman, I've watched so many of your videos I cant remember where you covered it, what's a good trim level airless sprayer for cabinets of trim work?. I'm not looking to paint walls, only trim work and cabinet projects. Any thoughts of suggestions? Rich on Finish Carpentry has shown a few reviews, I'm interested on your thoughts...

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks I’ve always used a brush to avoid all the prep so I really don’t have a good answer

[@nathandeneault5778]

Hey good job man!

[@ryanyon2391]

nice really improved your kitchen but personally i would have made it without nails to make it look better but still nice and easy to do

[@markw3598]

IF you know what you are doing you will never know it was nailed.

[@vertigo6982]

05:27 something a smart experienced carpenter will never do... It only takes one time to learn your lesson. Finishing/Brad nails have the tendency to bend in some spots of the wood.. shooting the nail right into your hand. I've seen it happened time and time again.

[@tutifrutinumber19]

Good job. ♥

[@fatguywithadrone1873]

perfecto!

[@esmed5610]

Beautiful only I wish a better and slow view of the finished work

[@brandonober4791]

Can you bring your tools over and do this for my girlfriend and I? There is a case of beer and good times involved with the project!!

[@kyek8246]

How did you make and attach the Fence system you have on your chop saw?

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

Ha... I know that background music from Logic Pro... nice!

[@Fuggetaboutit1776]

What did you do about the seams??

[@wagil90]

can you paint the mdf bead board?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

sure

[@rcjunkies213]

what kind of glues and size of nails on oulet u add bigger screw

[@peterwormald8904]

Hi, could you tell me the type of adhesive you've used🤔
