How to Install Door Casing + Design and Make Wood Molding

[@andrewsilvas3234]

Jon, it's a joy to see your bloopers.

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

that trick on back cutting the casing for the proud drywall is nice. I will be using that for sure.

[@coachschenk]

I hadn’t watched all the way to the end when I hit the thumbs up, I thought you were being a smart alek about his hammer method back cut.

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

@@coachschenk lol

[@coachschenk]

@@FinishCarpentryTV By the way, I love your YT channel. Your work is fantastic.

[@toodlican]

Hey finish carpentry tv. Watch your channel all the time. Learned so much from you... I used your tips in my level 3 technical training and my instructor was impressed with my crown molding.

[@jonathand5883]

Jon is the modern day Norm Abram for me, classic and a pleasure to watch. Appreciate the content. thank you.

[@hdwoodshop]

You make trim work look so easy. Masterful. I wish I could do that someday

[@uknowulikethat4042]

the door in your workshop looks better than the doors in my house, have to up my game for 2021. have a great new year Jon

[@shawnhagen6871]

Seemingly simple, surprisingly sophisticated

[@WalterMelons]

Decided after I redid my door casings once that I’ll do a craftsman style for the next house. No miters, looks classy, soo much easier. Great video 👍

[@jimserhant7741]

Another great video, Jon. Thank you for taking the time. I Love craftsman style casing. I have it throughout my house. I know you don’t need any tips, and it doesn’t happen often, but a little trick I use when I know I’m going to be cutting those small magical disappearing pieces on my miter saw is I use skin double stick tape right at the edge of the kerf on the insert. When I’m done, the piece is stuck to the tape & the tape peels right off with no residue.

[@idontthinkso666]

Whereas that would work, the simplest solution of all is a miter box. I keep one hanging behind my bench for easy access. You never need to chase those tiny offcuts.

[@ga5743]

Nice to see all the improvements Jon, lookin sweet.

[@tedpuckett2779]

Outtakes...👍 I also noticed the small off cut that came sliding back off the table saw. Those things came be rocket fast at times. Sheet rock tips and cutting the back to create the cup on the back....yep...great tip.

[@philshock3805]

Even before the blooper section, I was thinking you better have your dust collection turned off if you want to keep that small piece of off-cut. Sure enough ... lol. The very subtle, "sh t" after it disappeared was gold! In all seriousness, the relaxed manner in which you make trim and molding (all your projects, really), look so effortless and methodical is a joy to watch.

[@lp8243]

Great video. Maybe in an upcoming video you can show us what kind of stand you use in the field and in your shop for your miter saw

[@Antweak83]

I see that cannondale lefty! Nice work

[@stevecollins9450]

Beautiful job on that trim, Jon, and well explained as usual.

[@twobitwoodworker]

Thanks for the tip at the end on the scoop. I've got a door I need to frame in our guest room and the horsehair plaster is all over the place.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Another great one bye one of da Woodworking GOATS!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@thefalcon666]

Yep, diggin the tip on cutting the moulding!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice work on the door casings Jon! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP

[@roblarose5562]

Thanks for this excellent detailed video. I did what you said, followed it, and it turned out great.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s fantastic! Glad to hear it Rob 👍

[@Wordsnwood]

Yup, ready to see some shop furniture in the new year! Amazing expansion on your shop, John, it's looking awesome.

[@afidram]

Looks like Jon finally had to give up the molding cutter for the table saw!! New Sawstop is looking nice - enjoy!

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Live the way the trim looks Jon, great job as always.

[@davecurda2350]

Looks great Jon and some very good information thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@Denis-vk4vg]

Excellent work and video as always Jon. Many thanks for sharing this with us.

[@mikez4132]

Good vid love when you make various custom trims and bead details.

[@artconnolly9519]

Beautiful work as always Jon !!!

[@bertv1205]

Like that tape-tip! In response: you should make or get a zero clearance insert for your Kapex - really worth it.

[@fredforry6555]

Great work, great ideas Jon! Do you have a video of trimming out a window with matching design? FF

[@justinlewis2969]

Nice new table saw!

[@thehamlinwoodshop]

Always learning from you Jon. Thanks for the video!

Good video Jon, look's great , have a great 2021 and Stay Safe !!!.

[@justyncousino6120]

Looks like John has been watching Norm. Sounds exactly like an episode of NYW. Nice video

[@PeterGoode1]

This may be the highest compliment in all of the land.

[@user-yr4os6jz4r]

I spit coffee all over my keyboard and screen at 12:35 I wasn't expecting that at all. Too funny.

[@sapelesteve]

Nicely done Jon! That is going to be one very functional work shop. Looking forward to your future project videos! Happy New Year to you and your family. Be well and stay safe.........

[@danyodice1048]

Great video I always seem to mess up casing but this a good method. I will have to try it out. Happy Holidays Jon.

[@voyagertwoband]

Excellent video! Thank you.

[@TuanBui-yp7oz]

those outtakes were great......hilarious! "where'd it go??!! shit".....at a whisper, you sounded genuinely bemused!!

[@DocK1955]

great video ever find that offset..My most difficult is matching up 45 deg miters at the top

[@DocK1955]

offcut

[@maginashun]

Wow that was a fast facelift. That probably would have taken me years considering my attention span/the pace at which I work :p 2:38 Not sure I knew about the direction in which the nail bends. I only ever did anything based off the head or the way the tip is chiseled.

[@UriValdez]

Sir you are the master!

[@vasiliyivanishvili9025]

Nice work! Thank you for video!

[@ronayles9050]

lets talk about that mountain bike.. just saw this today.. heading to a Cannondale dealer tomorrow to look at them.. that fork has me hooked

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Great bike! But now I’m riding a pedal assist mountain bike and it’s awesome! The bike is made by Bulls … you can see it in my second to last video… building a bike storage wall.

[@markpalmer3071]

I really like your trim videos, wondering if I can use some of these features in our more modern Australian home.

[@brians5539]

I enjoy all your videos but I really enjoyed this one! Any word on Keith? Hope his surgery went well and he’s feeling good.

[@myhermitlife]

Getting stuff done !!

[@willisnorton6583]

Great job sir

[@harbinguy1]

Beautiful work!!! did you do the casing before the floor? I couldn't tell from the video. Im try to decide which one goes first , floor or door casing? Thanks!

[@tomcobey4015]

It looks great!

[@mariusbratu1349]

Great job...congratulation

[@mick202020]

John - What's the best lumber yard in the New Jersey Area for Plywood and S4S woods?

[@snoopysador]

Really nice installation but you have a beautiful cannondale left suspension in there

[@JonPetersArtHome]

👍 great bike... I’m a big fan of the 3” tire

[@glonch]

Jon - awesome video. In my opinion, you’re the new Norm Abram... you just need to start every video with “Before we use any power tools, let's take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear these: safety glasses!” Lol

[@Denis-vk4vg]

... and "you can never have too many clamps" ^^

[@daverthedude1]

Another great video Jon. How are you liking that new Sawstop?

[@WhatIsKenDoing]

I like your trim except for two things. You didn’t cut returns on your crown. You did a plinth appliqué instead of using 5/4 and cutting true plinth blocks.

[@spilleradam]

I agree with you, if your doing a plinth, you should have a solid piece 5/4 as you said.

[@benmacaluso844]

Hey Jon or community members, I’ve really enjoyed this video and would like to attempt to make this. I’ve noticed the link to the bead molding bit is gone. Do you remember which bit you used? Is it 1/8, 1/4, 1”? Thanks so much. Great work!

[@lry76]

is there a rule of thumb that tells you what width of the door casings should be? or does that come down to personal preference?

[@S1D1T1DO]

Just to note for some out there. The foot is also called a plinth block. You may see that come up when researching door casings.

[@davidshaper5146]

Don't moldings typically have relief cuts in back and some consideration of grain direction, like cupping toward the wall?

[@WhatIsKenDoing]

I used to make relief cuts but I have made thousands of feet of this exact style trim with no relief cuts and have never had a single board cup. Having dry, quality lumber is the key.

[@mjc0704]

What size brad nails do you use for trim/casing? Also, the shop is really coming together! Can't wait to see the shop furniture in the future...

[@spencerwhealy9945]

Awesome

[@kryptik0]

Make sure to watch the outtakes if you are concerned about the gap between the stile molding and the door frame. That table saw trick should be in the main part of the video.

[@seanhenry744]

Great video as always. What Mohawk finish did you use?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Waterborne pre-catalyzed lacquer

[@matthewgrisnich1769]

"Where did it go? Sh*t!" Lol.

[@Recovering_Californian]

12:30 ROFL .... unintentional blooper.

[@toosas]

that's outtakes for you..

[@V.S.M.OChannel]

Did he say "way to go" but he also say sh*t? Haha Hahaha hilarious

[@hmsiegel79]

Jon, do you have any issues with plywood floors? I know most shops I've seen are concrete, but building a concrete pad can get pretty expensive.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

So far it’s been good... It was the simplest and least expensive solution when I put them in about 20 years ago. Talked about it a little bit in the dust collection video

[@kryptik0]

The link to the bit is broken. There are no beading bits out there I cannot tell which one you are using here.

[@tonyb2760]

Couldn't that piece you're referring to as a foot be considered a "plinth block"? Just curious, I have what I am calling "plinth blocks" on all my interior doors. Thanks for sharing

[@WalterMelons]

Tomato tomahto

[@idontthinkso666]

What John is doing is essentially making a modified plinth block. In fairness, a true plinth is nicer as it is made from a larger piece of solid stock, so it won’t have the seams that these “foot pieces” have (but this is shop trim, so let’s cut John some slack). John correctly describes some of the advantages of a plinth (gives the base & shoe a place to die into). But plinths are more commonly used with more complex casings, such as those with back bands. A well designed plinth blends multiple elements (casings + baseboard), each with a different thicknesses, into a cohesive overall door design.
