How to Replace Door Trim on a Pre Hung Door - Trim Carpentry

[@TrainFlood]

This is THE BEST video I've found on replacing door trim. Terrific instruction and execution. Looking forward to doing this on my doors and windows.

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

Glad you found it helpful. Our goal is to teach these skills so that's great to hear. Thanks! Scott

This guy sounds like Carl Sagan teaching woodworking lol I’m here for it 😂 great video!

[@TheGoldenSky]

I am usually not into woodworking, but I still ended up watching the whole video because I really enjoy the way you talk and explain things. Very comfortable to watch. Keep up the work! Greetings from Germany :)

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

Thank you, I appreciate that. Thanks for sharing where you're watching from too! Scott 🇨🇦

Holy cow this was so professionally done. I watched the entire video. Captivating and I'm not even doing trim work. SUBSCRIBED!!!

Glad you liked it Rob. Thanks for the feedback. Scott

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Scott, not only was it a pleasure to watch how much pride you take in casing out the door but, Man... do I find your videos relaxing Bud!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

I appreciate that! Cheers. Scott

[@therealhughleys4872]

Love the video. I have done 3 doors based on your video. Thank you! You are a great instructor.

[@EqualsThreeable]

So many things I’ve learned just from one video. Thanks

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

You're welcome. Glad to hear you're learning lots from our videos. Our goal is to teach viewers about woodworking so it's motivational to hear that feedback from you. Scott

Sir thank you so very much, the way you explained how to do this project in so much detail, I feel like I just took a class in wood shop. God Bless † and keep up the great content. Have a super blessed week. John 3:16 † PS. I'm actually about to install a front entrance door and guess what's going around it? Thanks again. ♥

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

That new trim looks like the doors on our old 1909 house, which I’ve always considered to be a sort of craftsman style. I’ve always loved it in comparison to the “pseudo colonial” type stuff we see today. At least, this pre-hung door originally had those ornamental corners that I’ve seen on other houses in our neighborhood, (sometimes stained instead of painted, which is cool!) but you can tell it was done cheaply. Edit: another little thing I noticed about the trim on our house is, no plinth blocks, but it still looks perfectly fine. Our baseboards are styled differently: they’re a solid piece of wood about 8 inches tall, with a quarter-round base piece and a cool trim element at the top.

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

Yes, I selected this trim to give our home a more classic feel to it compared to the tiny trim the builder installed. Cheers. Scott

[@daP.A]

looks great!! I will use the quarter round idea.

[@jerrys576]

Your videos are top notch. That door was not installed right to start with if no shims were used. Dont hire that guy! $20 for a utility knife?? What's so special about it?? Thanks for the discount on the CA glue!!!

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

About the utility knife, the quick release for the blade is the key part for me. This knife uses a slide button release that makes changing the blade so easy. I also like an ergonomic fit in the hand. I've owned about 6 different utility knives before this one and none compare. Mine is a Makita.

Can you share ideas for trimming casing around Shaker style doors, what is usually used?

[@chipperkeithmgb]

What a poor job just the trim holding it in place to start with like your channel you do great work

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

Thanks. Yes, pre hung doors are not high quality but they're used because they're fast to install for high production work. Cheers. Scott

[@alimabraham744]

Man you are great 👍 😊

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

Thank you so much 😀

[@timking1050]

Your very efficient

[@MrElemem]

Great video! Question: do you do these around all windows and doors in the room/house? Just doors? Closets too? I already subbed to your furniture channel and you have an instant sub here too. Keep the great content coming!

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

I've done this on the doors only. For the windows, I've done a mix of the casing and rosettes on the corners and also window sills. Here's a window sill video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iafIeqV_g7h3rc0

[@LibLibertyLibertarian]

15:05 have you considered simply attaching all your trim to the board then cutting the whole thing at 45s on the edges as an assembled piece?

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

Interesting idea but crown moulding has a slight back bevel to it, which means if you glue it directly to your stock, it leans backwards a bit. I prefer the method I show in this video. Cheers. Scott

[@williambelford9661]

I'd have pulled the carpet back and set the plinth blocks and skirtings (baseboards) level with the floorboards 🤔

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

If you're planning on reinstalling carpet, you will need to leave a gap between the floor and the bottom of the plinth block so the carpet can go underneath. I hope that's helpful. Scott

[@williambelford9661]

@@HomeImprovementWoodworking not at all, here in the UK skirtings and architraives are fitted hard against the floorboards and carpets are tucked between the gripper rods and skirtings. Hope that helps 😉

[@eliaslucio6589]

Hello, the sides of my doors look good. I only want to upgrade the top casing. Can that be done without replacing all the sides?

[@Kirtirajsardesai]

I really like your video. Can you provide the dimensions of the 1/2 round and small crown moulding used?

[@foufou33g]

nice video as always, but i have a question, what do you call a finish nail, from what I could gather (checking hardware strores), the category neither framing nor roofing there are only bradnailers (the funcky square head) with different gauges. The biggest I could get my hands on was 16 gauge nailer, is this what you're calling "finish nail(er)s" ?

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

That is correct. A finish nailer is 16 ga, the brad nailer is 18 ga, and a pin nailer is 22 ga

[@figrollin]

Hi Scott. Do you make your own shims? I'd love to see that process.

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

Yes I do! I made a video to show how to safely make shims. Here's the link to learn how to do that - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoepc6mpZt1goqs

[@robl496]

I was wondering why you are using glue instead pin nails in this specific operation.... but then again I am not in the trade and know very little about carpentry

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

Hi Rob. I assume you're asking about gluing the corners. You get a higher quality result by gluing the corners on miters before attaching the parts than the other way around (attach the parts while lining up the miters. I hope that helps. Scott

[@genemendowegan3515]

This guy has patience..works at snails pace some of the cutting could've done faster nice work though.

It's so frustrating that no one shows how to do things with hand tools so I wouldn't have to spend 1000s on expensive power tools before I can start a simple DIY project.

@@notetoself1378 I have a mitre box but still don't know how to use it lol - it's ok for cutting mouldings lying flat for making frames and such but when I stand it up to cut it as it would be on the wall it's taller than the box' wall so don't know how to start sawing and getting the proper angle on that portion that stick out.

[@notetoself1378]

@@bearcat1283 you would cut the trim lying flat on the ground at a 45. I don’t understand what you mean when you say cut as if it were on the wall

[@MovieMakingMan]

Fantastic job. I love the way you trimmed it out. But I wondered. Did you use caulk before the final coat of paint. Thank you for creating this. I’m definitely going to use your method with my doors and (with slight variations) my windows.

[@HomeImprovementWoodworking]

Yes, caulk any gaps and always paint the caulking. If you don't paint the caulking, it could be visible, and dust will stick to it over time. Cheers. Scott
