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

[@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

[@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!

[@gremlinsbreath]

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.

[@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.

[@lyndonp6296]

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

[@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

[@Jeff-Champwild]

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

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Jeff....appreciate it.

[@JacobsenBros]

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

[@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..

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

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

[@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!!

[@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

[@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.

[@sherrylynnprokopetz9023]

Are you single? LOL

[@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!

[@connor768]

What kind of nail gun is that?

[@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!

[@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!

[@orchardfamilychannel9785]

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

[@ianfarrow8474]

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

[@KyleSoldani]

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

[@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

[@wade2361]

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

[@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.

[@liverman16]

Great Video. Thanks so much!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks

[@tomoliva3723]

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

[@cejkwo100]

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

[@banksj54]

why not buy a white chair rail, instead of making one? Seems like waisted effort

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

really looks good!

[@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.

[@michaeljbreault]

Thanks for the detailed video Jon.

[@sephardishalom2693]

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

[@BrianS2464]

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

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Brian, good luck with project.

[@permathisen4142]

Brian TX

[@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

[@dorseydorseyG]

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

[@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!

[@wagil90]

can you paint the mdf bead board?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

sure

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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?

[@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

[@Hotwash544]

Man I wish u were my neighbor

[@AlbertMaruggi]

great job

[@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

[@alatinaa9068]

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

[@mr.e-manm5062]

What is the right height for a chair rail?

[@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?

[@SpankChinaski]

Seriously, you americans must switch to metric. Imperial is such a hassle.

[@BrianS2464]

A lot of us agree.

[@keithtraa]

just the opposite.

[@nicholasjohngarofalo8216]

i dont understand how in the US you can calculate divisions of measurements in your head ?

[@dopeysims7630]

Nicholas John Garofalo it’s simple.. fractions

[@kajafokkema839]

i agree, a lot of less intelligent could learn to do things properly if they switched to metric.

[@Skylyned]

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

[@esmed5610]

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

[@jasonroach8751]

No materials list. You build the chair rail from common lumber or hardwood?

[@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?

[@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?

[@alexandermilosevic_]

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

[@woodyssawshop266]

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

[@formbyjim]

Great tips , thanks.

[@HotWingzzzzzzzzz]

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

[@fatguywithadrone1873]

perfecto!

[@priscillawatson5876]

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

[@williamoconnell4696]

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

[@terrycorter6162]

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

[@JoseGuzman-eo5hi]

What gauge nailer was used for the bead board?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

18

[@rcjunkies816]

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

[@johnnylightning1967]

Nice work

[@nicholasjohngarofalo8216]

I love it when there just happens to be a $5000 table saw at the job

[@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.

[@itsmenckgonzalez]

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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@markw3598]

How do you trim around windows?? No one ever seems to show that part!

[@georgetteliquorie123]

i live in maryland were can i find a good carpenter thanks

[@aprilcisneros8297]

How do you install beadboard behind a sink and toilet?

[@jameshoward3071]

What about the nails on the seams how do you fix that or hide them

[@MrAmagaska1976]

awesome video Jon thanks very much

[@vvtubevvv]

Enjoy every sandwich. Cool.

[@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.

[@jaredhall1299]

What size is the base board without the cap? 1 X 4?

[@priceypads]

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

[@JonPetersArtHome]

priceypads Thanks

[@clairehughes2203]

Nice tribute to Warren Zevon during the intro.

[@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 .

[@loricurtis3850]

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

[@tomnewell6651]

nice simple moulding but so effective

[@JonJon-gu7xy]

Another good video. Thank you.

[@imtiaziqbal3041]

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

[@joshuapruden6497]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@Fuggetaboutit1776]

What did you do about the seams??

[@teenayork441]

What kind of beadboard can be used in a bathroom?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Teena York I always use pre primed wood in bathrooms

[@teenayork441]

***** Panels? I want it high, about 54" Everything I've seen says not for bathrooms. I have a small remodel scheduled to start tomorrow. I went to pick up what I had planned to get and they don't carry it anymore! I need a plan "B" but it is a high moisture bathroom. This is a hired remodel so I have got to come up with something. Menards has discontinued the whole line!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

no I always buy it in 16' bead boards , they should cut it for you at the lumber so you can fit it in your car or truck.

[@alexmoulding1501]

Nice detail added here on this wainscot panelling!

[@mrchromaticable]

Love the colour of the walls

[@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

[@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.
