[@robertroberts5218]

Great observation/tip about brad nailers.

[@crashkg]

The Cherry is beautiful, really nice colors. Thanks for your content.

[@joshuahasson9687]

The shop does indeed look great!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Beautiful craftsmanship. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Build On. Keep Making. God Bless.

[@clarhettcoalfield3616]

Chris as always, nice job. Here's a Canadian carpenter's translation - (Amr.) Interior window Stool - (Can.) Interior window sill, not to be confused with - Angled exterior sill plate.

[@paulsalge823]

That brad nailer tip was about the most useful "trick of the trade" that I have heard in a long time. Thanks for sharing. I always thought it was my poor aiming that caused my problems. lol.

[@Offsauce]

One of the best channels on KZbin! Thanks for making these videos

[@scottschmidtmann2540]

Beautiful casings!

[@craigscott7760]

I'll be using this next month! Thanks Chris. Also, window trim language is pretty funny. Head case, Stool. If the top jamb is the head jamb, I really want the stool to be called the toe jamb.

[@terristroh3965]

I saved this video for when I had my chemo as a good distraction. You did not disappoint!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I’m sorry to hear about that. And am glad the video helped a little with that. Prayers 🙏

[@cyrus5454]

Chris, that window trim looks great. Absolutely love it.

[@Z-Bart]

Beautiful work.

[@tramutoohana2803]

As always, clear, concise and easy to understand - thanks Chris! Also opened my eyes w/ Brad nailer tip!! - signed jealous in Hawaii (LMK if you ever come this way!)

[@ericmorris9660]

Been staring at unfinished windows in my shop for years, Chris. You might have just inspired the finish. Stop by Grand Ledge for a beer sometime!

[@theodoreharwood2701]

Chris, I am amazed that you can produce such high level craftsmanship as the Japanese-inspired shelf and give tips on something more construction-level like this. I need to put in casing for the never-finished windows in my house, and this was a godsend.

[@jimrosson6702]

They look amazing beautiful work as usual.

[@philaandrew100]

Thank you Chris. I am about to build my new Workshop and one thing I was wondering was how to go about the window trims. Now I know.🙂

[@1195mmg]

Will be very helpful for all the trim I need to do this year.

[@timmnoffsinger3127]

Been watchin for years keep up the great work .. lower east Michigan timm

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks for all the love and support bud

[@angelramos-2005]

Very well done and explained.Thank you for sharing,Chris.

[@zondervon]

Who knew that watching a video on windows that is get a fantastic brad nailer tip.

[@bradalden6520]

Beautiful!

[@teddyjones3055]

Hadn't seen that trick with the screws. I just trimmed out a few windows myself today (paint grade mind you) and I was wondering the whole time while watching what you were going to do about gaps between your trim and rough opening. Very cool trick. Will try to implement in the future. Cheers!

[@glennryzebol4472]

Feels like it`s been a long while since you have dropped a video. Good to see you back again.Those windows and trim look great. I still need to trim out the windows in our shop and this gets me all juiced up to get it done lol.

[@colinstu]

Looks amazing!

[@gailegormley5744]

Always look forward to your videos!

[@johncarter9067]

Beautiful job looks great

[@nathanielrunning7732]

Love the finish on the windows. Much better than most homes. 👌 stoked as hell to see whats next in the bank! Almost there myself on buying my first home.

[@pmdinaz]

Gorgeous!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Chris! Really well done! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@flyness39]

Awesome, Chris! When I was a trim carpenter that was almost exactly how I cased out my windows, so this was a blast from the past, with some new techniques from you that I'll add for next time!

[@motor2of7]

Nicely done

[@serafar]

the wood looks great. very pleased that u chose to make them from a solid natural wood. (i my self do not really like straight edges so i would just add that it is always better to fillet them with a router bit.. also if you happen to bump with some of your body part on a straight edge it will always hurt more)

[@drumavenger83]

Great to see another video from you! Lol missed ya man 😉

[@zacharywong483]

Fantastic job here, Chris! Really love your attention to detail in filming your work and really appreciate you taking the time to record great voice over information over your footage!

[@Otto_Irving]

Great video, nicely done Chris! Learned a few new tricks. One question - where's the dog?! Maybe your coworker will make an appearance in the shop tour?

[@peterkelley6344]

Was wondering the same thing, Hope Utz is ok.

Just four words ...subbed!

looks great

[@therelaxingwoodshop7495]

So my wife came into the living room while you where on and she said…..wait for it…….is that Chris on…my jaw nearly dropped. She wanted to watch Third Coast Craftsman with me. Awesome. Bushmills malt 12. Chris on the Tv 📺 an the wife talking about woodwork . I’m in heaven 😂😂🤣👍👏

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha that’s awesome! Tell her I said thanks for watching!

He has 600k followers and now he's gonna take your wife. Sheesh.

[@timmnoffsinger3127]

Before you even made the video I was thinking the same thing about a shop tour

[@grantpanther]

Thanks for the video showing some good craftsmanship. Love the paint color with the cherry. You mind sharing what paint color that is? Thank you!

[@TheRich4187]

Nice!

[@svenelsi5605]

an interesting variant. I always build the inner frame and the outer frame separately. the inner frame is placed on wedges and then foamed. the outer frame is inserted and glued using tongue and groove or lamello. I find the language barrier really funny, because in Germany we have individual words for each individual part of the window or the frame. that makes it a bit more difficult for me to explain.. never mind, thanks for taking me along and greetings from cold Germany

[@ifiwooddesigns]

Like that look, and love the stain. So as a noob to window trimming, do the pan head screws remain after trim? If so, I’d probably leave the front face off and fill it with insulation or foam before putting on front face. I’m sure your windows are insulated but just thinking of a draft coming from structure around it. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your craftsmanship.

[@wasrados]

very nice!!! regards

[@approots]

I like to build the window frame as a single unit so it can be removed when painting walls. I think you had 3 pieces, so not much different to have just one. Then install with about 4 nice brass or trim-head screws through the jamb. No nail holes.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Great idea! Might try that in our house

[@sapelesteve]

As usual, terrific work Chris! I always learn something from watching one of your videos! Happy New Year to you & your family! BTW, where is our friend UTZ? 👍👍🐶🐶

[@acrocha1222]

So the screws act as a standoff from the physical jam of the window and create an air pocket? Why didn’t you fill in this space with some kind of insulation? Seriously curious about that.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

There is spray insulation between the actual window and frame.

[@c.a.g.1977]

0:52 Hmmm, slightly disappointed that after the top one being the head-jamb the lower part isn't called toe-jamb

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

That is a shame

[@hpw59]

Great idea on those screws you used in your jams... I think you could refine that to the next level and square off your face of your wall so that the screws are perpendicular. What it looks like you're doing was using your gauge block out in thin air with no reference for square to wall or window Love your content and attention to detail

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

That gauge block is referencing the square edge of the window frame.

[@farmermike9262]

instead of the jig why not rip strips of plywood instead of screws?

[@dpmeyer4867]

nice

[@johncolosimo4578]

Would you suggest coating both sides if you were using Odies oil (or sim product) or is that suggestion specific to certain finishes?

[@coreystine1001]

Hey Chris love the channel. Was looking around but couldn't find an answer. Could I ask what diamond stones you use to sharpen your tools? Had some cheep ones that really didn't work so I'm lookin for a recommendation from someone experienced with them and I know that's your preferred system. so you were the first person I thought to ask.

[@twobitwoodworker]

Looks great. I'm a little jealous of your square and plumb window openings. I had to miter every jam and casing joint twice to fit my 1910 windows. Assembling off the window would have left me with 1/4" gaps somewhere on them. Did you hide the brads with anything?

[@Auntypatti]

We want to trim our doors with raw wood. What would you recommend? What do you do to hide the nails heads?

[@zacculbertson2458]

Where are you at man? Are you going to get back to consistent woodworking videos or are you going a different direction? I would hate to see you go! You've been the most inspiring woodworker for me since I started.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I’m still around. More coming soon!

[@zacculbertson2458]

Can't wait. I love your projects and teaching style. Thanks for the response. Love the new shop.

[@rhysbriden5777]

Really well done, Chris! I was wondering if when you do your timber home you were planning on doing a video series of the build?

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

That's the plan! I’ll be announcing some stuff on that soon

[@robertlaird6746]

I like that jig but you didn't talk about the jam thickness all that much. Most windows to drywall measurements on each of the 4 corners are slightly different. I've done tapered jambs many times before or have used a back bend moulding on the outside edge of the casing. That is an important part of the process. Also, the width of the apron should be lined up with the outside edge of the leg casing's. For the width of the stool, I usually go 3/4" past the outside edge of the leg casing's and 3/4" out from the fattest part of the casing. The head casing should be flush with the outside of the leg casing's but the trim peaces should be 3/4" proud. I usually install my head casing on with a Kreg Jig before I install the unit and then the apron separately. That makes it a two part install. I really like how you oil both sides before installing. I've done that on my own homes only twice at the job site because I was getting paid extra to be not only a carpenter but also doing the painters job as well. I've done 36 stain grade tapered jamb extensions by myself in eight hours when I was a younger carpenter and built them like your doing and they were spot on perfect. You just have to get a production line going to make that happen and be doing finish carpentry every day.

[@shamruck9762]

Did you use the same filler after nailing?

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I use the cherry color timber mate for nail filling and they disappear

[@pashatv3514]

how are you I am a Bangladeshi sign maker with experience. I can do the kind of work you do. Will you hire me? i want to work thank you

[@robertlaird6746]

Are your blue painted walls made out of T1-11? It looks like those boards are rough sawn T&G lumber because T1-11 is only 8' long.

[@gmscott9319]

Great technique! Reminds me of a video from RR Buildings a while ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2G1qmRrZr-fr5I

[@doubledarefan]

Kyle of RR Buildings does the same, batches out a bunch of window casings, then installs 'em in one big session. Casing in point: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2G1qmRrZr-fr5I

[@cynettacynclaire9594]

Whatever happened to your drift boat build videos? You just stopped then well before you finished 3 years ago!??

[@WalterMelons]

I clicked dislike at first because the spacing on the row of buttons is weird and I had to swipe right to see the thumbs up button. Maybe I have to update the app.

[@scottdonald1611]

I’m sorry but this is awful. Your working backwards.

[@wolfgangbalu1253]

Design is very strange, but no point for dicussions. I am missing implantation of damping material since windows are always bridges for coldness

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

The design is a timeless craftsman style trim style that has been in millions of homes. There is spray foam around the window,

[@kenlumhemang7654]

How do your channel grow ? Not even a single videos in 2 months i will unsubscribe it

[@tattooedredheadx]

So there's roughly a 1" void between the trim and the wall all the way around, why? Why aren't you installing and mounting the trim directly to the sill and sides and top, I'm truly confused.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Because rough opening aren’t very accurate or square. If you mounted directly to the rough opening each window would have different reveals and be all out of whack

[@tattooedredheadx]

@@ThirdCoastCraftsman I see! Thank you for clarifying!
