Installing Interior Window Trim | Beginner

Installing new interior window trim can be a daunting task for the beginner/intermediate carpenter, but this step-by-step video will definitely show you all the details of "how-to". Basic painted flat trim with no mitered corners is a great place to learn because of the simplicity of the joinery and the ease of working with this material, plus once it's done, it looks really nice (IMO)!

I'm staring at my unfinished windows wondering how hard can it be to trim these things out and then I watch this video and realized it's really not going to be that easy but at least I have this video even if it takes me 20 hours of pausing and unpausing. Thank you.

[@Tattooclownfish71]

Yeah I agree with you it’s a lot of information very too if you never did this a lot of pausing going way too fast like everyone is a pro like him not cool 😎 lol

[@rharrington4204]

this is the way ⬆️

[@dannyhunter607]

He makes it sound way harder than it actually is if you know how to read a tape measure

[@garrydye2394]

One of the best things I did about 7 years ago was to slowly start buying tools and watch youtube. I went from hiring people to do everything, which is far from cheap, to doing absolutely everything myself...and to be honest...my work looks a whole lot better than their work. And not because I am better at it....but because it is my house...and I take my time more than they did and I care more about the outcome. It's damn hard to find anyone to do even decent work...let alone really good work. Start fixing small things around the house. I went from not knowing how to do anything to making my own cabinets, doors, installing my own floors, doing all my own trim work. And you can too. You save a lot of money too. I'm actually amazed at how simple some of this stuff is to do. Everything seems hard when you have never done it before...once you do it...and have the knowledge...its all easy.

[@santo3120]

Amazing video... great instruction! Now and 100% confident I need to hire a professional.

[@johnluccarelli2409]

Legit just said the same thing...beginner??? Who am I, Jason Bourne?

[@WESLEYUSA23]

Lol I was thinking the same lol, after 3M measuring I will hire a professional lol

[@Jaimefisherful]

@@johnluccarelli2409 Jason Bourne... dying.

[@goldbuttoutdoors7634]

I'm a carpenter and you could definitely do this for cheaper the amount of money you save on labor would account for a couple mistakes and it would help build confidence in diy projects

[@lifeasahuman7489]

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nelson3823]

I’ve trimmed 2 windows now and this video is by far the best instructional support I have seen. I still get some wonky results but it’s usually because of a bowed window frame. I’ve had to do some heavy caulking / patching but things usually look okay in the end.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Great to hear, and great work!!

[@Schnacks_Beat_Lab]

This is the best video I have seen on how to do this. I have watched about 20 videos so far and you explained everything perfectly. Thank you

[@flowerpower8722]

After waiting 35 yrs for this job I need to do it myself. Your demonstration is clear and well explained. Now I just need to learn to use the tools.

[@kyle4smiles]

Amazing video exactly what I needed. Halfway done but I expect the results to be just what I'm looking for

[@megansky2197]

Amazing video! This is absolutely perfect easy step by step I’ve been searching for to help me redo my interior window casing

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thank you Megan, I'm so glad it was helpful.

[@gabrielguzmann1ufo905]

Love this channel! I'm remodeling my bathroom and 90 percent of the videos I watched today will help me with the renovation. Thank you again, much appreciated!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

You really are binge watching all my videos!! 😀 Thank you for all the nice comments. Cheers!

[@mikewoolvett335]

Great vid. Unlike some others I love the speed. Everything is condensed and it doesn't take half my day to watch it, and I can go back and re-watch the sections I need.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Exactly! 👊

[@bethpersons7134]

you saved my life! Single woman who needed all the help

[@curious1curious]

Because of your clear instruction and the ability to pause your video to think about what you said, I can do this!!!! Awesome man. Thank you!!!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad I could help! Be sure to reach out on Instagram when you have more questions... it's a great place to share photos, etc.

[@BSRWeddingFilms]

Very well done!

[@ashleylovepace1941]

Gotta do this soon. What a great simple video! Thanks!

[@FrankyBangaz]

Looking forward to putting this information to use

[@5minutewoodworker143]

Best instructional video about anything that I have ever seen! Great job!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Wow, thanks!

[@iqdaz]

Great tutorial. Only thing I would say is that as a newer carpenter measuring to the long point is easier for myself than the short point. Only because I can get a more accurate measurement from hooking the tape measure instead of trying to guess the short measurement.

[@mollycrook1954]

Thank you! Great video. The instruction is clear, no wasted words. Also, I like the speed of the video and I can rewind and watch over and over. I’m subscribing to your channel!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@karenbenson3886]

Bless you my son. This is exactly the craftsman-style look I was hoping to find in a video. Having a short vid with a lot of information is very helpful.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thank you so much for the blessing!

[@RantzBizGroup]

Great video... simply follow the steps and it's done!

[@andymiser7710]

This video has totally convinced me that I will surely mess up! Lol

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

LOL! Totally not... I've got your back!

[@sredmon9052]

Awesome video!!! I'm finishing the basement in my cabin and have 10" thick Superior Walls and my windows came with 6" jambs. Originally thought I'd add jamb extensions with biscuit joints, but was easier (and probably a cleaner look) to remove the factory jambs and install new ones. This video taught me everything I needed to do this and in one weekend I got 2 double and 1 single windows trimmed out and they look great! They actually look better than how the builder finished out the main floor. Thanks for posting the video. I'm now subscribed to your channel!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Right on! Thanks for subscribing and sharing this with me!
