Been a carpenter for over 20 yrs and this is the best miter saw tip I've ever got! This old dog learned a new trick today!! Mad respect young blood

[@nobleroofinggeneralcontrac7961]

I was just thinking as a young kid 8 years old in the 1970s we did not have a compound miter saws, electric to boot. All had the old Stanley metal base with a back saw. One on my first jobs was nailing the casings by hand and if you missed while nailing someone on the job kicked you in the ass literally. You learned quick started out in closets. No one ever taught me this. Always learning. I wonder who taught this kid this trick?

[@matthewkelly99]

Sorry man, but that was probably thee BEST trim trick in have ever seen. I've worked as a framer, remodeler, trimmer, and no one has ever came close to teaching something of that caliber. mad respect. let that blade catch up to speed though bro, you chop to fast man!!!!

[@andrepono]

so true get injured quick going fast but i understand how one can get used to going fast with wood and mdf

[@bugsbraden6496]

Agree. Awesome tip but he cuts too fast. I give apprentices shit for that. And what in the wide world of sports is he thinking not having a blade guard? Fuuuck

[@Dondorn1959]

Such a simple little tip to make a grown man feel like an apprentice !!..wow......so simple yet so perfect. Thanks

[@0074craig]

[@jesshasnofilter]

I would like to cosign this.

[@SeanNyhc]

As a new carpenter (5 years) I find your videos priceless. Even if I only take a little bit from your videos I'm always improving my work thanks to guys like you

[@victordavidup]

A new carpenter is a 10 month carpenter. You're a mature and experienced carpenter.

[@ladybugkitty]

Great tip and video. You are very generous to share such helpful info.

[@yardlimit8695]

thanks for that very interesting and informative video............it just goes to show that THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO BE LEARNED..........THANKS AGAIN...........a nice low key presentation too..........

[@jennw9140]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I've watched other vids where they explained it so well but didn't demonstrate it with close ups, or with actual trim-showing front and back, top and bottom. This video was much needed. I appreciate people like you sharing your knowledge.

[@sharpeguns1]

great info, I had some stair cases front 1909 and you just saved my ass. great job. I love to see young men teach a old dog some new tricks

[@jbb5470]

I realize you made this video a few years ago but it is still helping me out. I try and watch all of your videos. Always great content. Your the best!

[@haroldparker5361]

So simple and genius at the same time. Not many people show me something new with trim but I really appreciate when it does happen. Thank you for sharing.

[@uranga1981]

One of the best channels IMO on KZbin 👍🏽...you really explain step by step Bro. Love watching your videos

[@beaufighter245]

Thanks very much for this tip. Has to be one of the most useful I've seen for a long time. Great presentation too, just no show and straight to the point.

[@StaceyJ1908]

I've been trying to figure out the best jig to cut some trim for these crazy angles going up my stairs and this by far is the BEST trick I've come across! You save my project and my sanity - thanks for sharing your wisdom!

[@stevedaly1931]

I have been watching a lot of your videos. You have a lot of great tips for people like me who have limited knowledge. I enjoy how simple some of these tips are. Keep on sharing.

[@lizmasi9918]

I know it has been a while since you posted this video but I wanted to say how much I get out of these. I just discovered your channel and try to watch as many as I can during the day. I'm a woman woodworker. I used to watch my dad build stuff. I have a certain amount of skill but you have helped me so much. Thank you.

[@gils100games]

I couldn't do it without your help. Your way of explaining is so simple and easy to understand even for a bigginer like myself. Thank so much and keep doing what you're doing.

[@cantaffordfestool8113]

wow you really are a great teacher! thanks a million!

[@dpm6472]

Can't thank you enough, not only on this tip, which was the best I ever seen, but for everything that you do. Thanks so much.

[@seanrichards]

Right? The kid is great and inspiring!

[@georgependeli171]

Great video, one of the best I have seen, well defined process on making a variety of custom angles! Like the walking into the sunset!! Thank you!!

[@SoundcraveMagazine1]

Thanks for posting this. I agree you are very generous with posting these videos. I have loved your others, but this one is genius. Really great job. This video really helped me learn to cut sharp angled roof supports in my new shed. Thank you again! 👊🏻

[@OmegaRecon65]

Thanks for this video! Here I thought I was limited to the degree cut that a miter saw could make. But with your video I can cut just about anything at almost any angle I want. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video. You've helped a beginning woodworker out tremendously! 😀👍

[@kell43jk]

You totally just saved me, the first video I came across had directions to make something that estimated 20-30 minutes before using it. I’m a novice that just needed a few pieces cut for under stairs and this is so quick and easy. Also you got right to it so no waisted time before I found out if it was something I could do. Thanks, great job

[@victorbakare3686]

You are the best ! my buddy from work and I just started talking about youtube channels and he said "" I'm currently working in my house installing trims and crown molding and there is this amazing guy on youtube "Finish Carpentry Tv" I've been watching and I immediately responded ''that young dude from THE STATES in sunglasses most of the time ?''lol ..Yeah ! u watch him too? Always.Thank you for taking the time out doing what you do.Well appreciated bro. You have fans in Toronto Canada

[@jasondorsey6959]

Hey man. I have been handy my whole life. I come from a handy people. Most of the tools you have, I own too. But I must say almost EVERY video of yours that I watch I learn something. There have been maybe three videos where I knew all of the content already. I appreciate the straight forward, no gimmicks, just good and raw info style. Please keep up the awesome work.

[@justincarter9622]

Man you are a blessing. I learned something new just now. Thank you for all your knowledge you share. I really appreciate you.

[@TheYooToob2000]

This is awesome! I ran into this on a project I just started and I was stumped at how to get the cut perfect. So cool. Thanks for the tip!

[@jamesbendtsen1357]

I was trimming a stairway this week and needed 51.5 degrees on several miters. I have an older miter saw that doesn't go beyond 50 degrees, and used this tip. Fantastic. Thanks.

[@bigal9940]

Well that has to be one of the best tricks I've seen. It's always a pain in the ass with some angles but this really makes life so easy. I do a lot of work in this feild and I must say you are a real profesional

[@ronbowles1387]

Been carpenter fir 30 yrs and have toyed with a lot of tricks. This is great. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeremiah6462]

Great tip, watched your review on the 1500 dollar miter saw. Your deal breaker for that saw was something I hadn’t even considered when purchasing a Miter saw. Thanks a lot! I am subscribing!

[@andrewk-majordochomerepair6014]

Thanks for all the effort you guy make to film your work and help teach us DIYers & semiprofessional handmen so to speak. I like the idea of using the board and cutting at 45 to create your new "0". Running into a similar challenge installing decorative trim along stairs with a horizontal "rail" piece mitering with another parallel to the run of the stairs required cutting each end at about 65 degrees. The way I did this was by placing a large rafter square with underneath support (to keep it horizontal) and then setting the table to 20 deg. Challenge though was for a 3" wide board and only having a nonsliding 10" Dewalt, the blade left about an inch remaining. The finish cut had to be made with a fine tooth hand saw. Thanks for this tip is placing a solid board across... Since following your videos on finish carpentry, I've also started using CA glue which has worked super but have been seeing references to several different types/formulations. Would appreciate your insight into brand comparison or where you may use more of a gel-type vs "runnier"...formulation.

[@donlee792]

Dude, I've struggled for years on how to correctly and consistently come up with different angles on the miter saw. Took me about 3 seconds after I saw your setup. Thanks for the lesson!!

[@cuttnhorse2013]

Your the best I’ve seen. I know you’re backed up! Plus, people waiting. Whatever you charge,it’s worth the money! Great job.

[@dgiesenhagen]

Most helpful DIY video that I have ever found on KZbin! You are the man!!! Thanks.

[@johnlibby7900]

This made what I thought was a complex issue and made it simple. I needed a 64 degree cut on the same trim you’re using. Thank you.😊

[@PRL1982]

DUDE! Thank you for sharing your expertise. I paid someone to install baseboard in my stairwell because I didn't have time or the experience for some of the angle cuts and they did a pretty good job but there's one part they just hacked up, the one part I hired them for. Anyhow, this video will help me fix what they screwed up....!

[@Sirmaximus62]

This guy is the real deal. Recently found and really liked a lot of the tips on here. Great work

[@RicardoGarcia-ds3sr]

yup, me too.

[@joemarks8417]

Nicely done! I used to make a tapered rip and hold that and my material against the fence. Your method seems much more accurate and safe!

[@mikecrook8434]

I've seen several videos on this subject and have been confused by inconsistent and lengthy explanations. I watched yours once and understood the technique perfectly. Thank You!!

[@lindamarsden8024]

This is my first comment even though I have been watching your videos for some time . You are an excellent teacher and your videos are superb, thank you from a very grateful fan and carpenter

[@MarcosJ-mq4lk]

Your'e a breath of fresh air dude ;) Excellent tips and youre a gentleman for passing these on free so to speak.... Many thanks for explaining in an easy manner....

[@littleshepherdfarm2128]

I just found your channel yesterday. I was looking for info on my new DeWalt709 miter saw that I got on Ebay for less than half price but no book came with it. I saw you cut crown molding and a couple other things, and now this cool trick to get extra degrees out of my saw! I subscribed. You have some really cool and valuable info on here! Thank you for taking the time to help us DIYers out here! Great channel and easy to follow info.

[@ishh9315]

I always learn something new from your videos. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.

[@AyoDenny]

Dude you do not know how valuable tips like that really help people...like i say the simplest design is always the best design....thanks for sharing I REALLY APPRECIATE it....

[@johnrodebaugh7120]

Thank you so much for taking time out of your working day to share tips and your skills.

[@khalidnazim]

I just have to say: Thank you so much for these videos. You are a true professional in your work, you have great ideas and the best part for all of us is that you are sharing them with us.

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

thanks!

[@cfomusic73]

I love you man! Why didn't I see this video before!!!!!! I spent hours trying to cut my trim under my stairs! You're awesome.

[@Suture555]

I also found you through the Idaho Painter. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

[@jeanfugate-besalke5734]

This is so awesome!! You are so smart and talented!! Thank you for sharing the how to's!!

[@nathenwallis5664]

I'm glad I found your videos. I have been working in various trades in the construction field for years, but trim work has always intimidated me. can you do a video on your tools?, what brands of what tools you like, for different tasks

[@ziggydog24]

Thanks very much for showing how it's done. Been trying to get 67.5 deg but was not sure how to safely do it on a mitre saw. Great Vid and well explained.

[@tmyers8032]

wow !!!!!! wish i found you sooner you are my new mentor bro , my new teacher ! thank you sir you know i have been tuning in a lot since i found and i have not been disappointed wonderful job man!

[@rezarafiee6514]

You are the best mate! I used this method today and it is fantastic. Thanks a lot for all the excellent videos.

[@BSCGDC]

Great video, thanks for sharing your tip. I've always done a lot of math and rotated the material to make angle cuts beyond 45, but this is a much better way.

[@billr4283]

I’ve been trying to determine the best and safest way to cut a 65 degree angle in order to make a jig for sharpening chisels / plane irons. This was the answer I needed! Thank you

[@katherinenutter9626]

You saved me from losing my mind the other day. I knew there had to be a way to cut my molding properly but I don’t have the experience or expertise to figure this stuff out on my own. So, THANK YOU!!!!!

[@seanrichards]

Wow! I love watching your videos, bro! You make everything so easy to understand and useful in real life applications!

[@ronsuzuki1433]

Thanks! Just headed off to a job site to use your tip. Thanks for passing on your knowledge! Much appreciated!

[@vinasmj]

I watched the video on this last week it was so confusing.. I'm glad I came across this one because you explained it so much better...👍👍👍🇺🇸

[@1618forex]

can't thank you enough for all the great vids but this one is the best. i just spent 2 hours trying to figure out the cut for the top of the stringer in my hall......boom....here is the answer! you're the best

[@showandgo]

Some people talk hours and still cannot make a point, sir you did in few words. That is in my opinion an art in itself. Thank you!

[@TheFrankwhite81]

Stellar. If I lived local to you and you premiered it, I’d work for you for a month. Just to gain some of your knowledge. I’d want no financial compensation, just knowledge. You make great instructor.

[@alejandromoncada7181]

Clear, and fast video. Great trick under five minutes I wish there were more videos like this.

[@richardsanderson7981]

Thank you, thank you. That is really clever. I've been struggling for years just holding the piece away from the fence and guessing the angle I'm cutting

[@ms22401gal]

This worked great. 60° bevels cut on 1-1/8“ thick x 3-1/2” wide pine. Thank you so very much. I’ve had this saw 15” years. So cool to learn this new technique. 👍👍👍

[@MarkSWilliams27]

Very good! As are all your videos. You are a very talented finish carpenter. Wishing you many years of success.

[@tomaraciolli7007]

This is probably the most useful trick video I've watched yet.... Thank you

[@previouslyachimp]

Excellent, this will help in many situations! Thanks for taking the time to pass on your expertise, it's much appreciated. :)

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

thanks a lot. glad to help.

[@8460437]

You have tips that one would expect of an "old master" craftsman who did this work for 50 years. BRAVO!

[@mikeodonnell1835]

this video just saved me so much stress on a fiddly project. subscribed!

[@petersiciliano6424]

I KNEW you'd have the answer I needed! I encountered a situation where I needed to cut a 67 degree miter on each piece of panel moulding and was baffled; until I saw YOUR video. Thanks so much for posting this.

[@rpruneau68]

Very nice hack. One of the best carpentry hacks I've seen. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!

[@KRColson]

Brilliant! I was going a bit crazy wondering how to do this and I was sure there was a way. I need a 70 degree cut so I will follow your demo and get 'er done! Thank you very much!

[@garyh35]

So funny! I watched the video on the stair angles and said " how do you cut a 63 degree angle?" I searched for how to cut a 63 degree angle and BAM, there is your video showing how to do it! Love your work and love learning on You Tube. Finish carpentry used to be hard for me, but my skills are getting much better.

[@showandgo]

You are a smart man. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with others.

[@dangerboy808]

I've always used my table saw for those cuts but that trick saves time pulling out the beast. Great tip

[@atywood]

Great stuff. I just completed a flooring install and have been asked to do the quarter round. No big deal but this house has crazy angles everywhere. The flooring alone was challenging at times (so at least I have that right? It can be so monotonous). Glad I don’t have to hand cut everything... so many cuts for the flooring were by hand I just need to get this thing finished...

[@donleland9157]

OMG THANK YOU! Explained and showed it simple way that even this non-mechanical guy could understand and successfully do!

[@kathihoffman8906]

Thanks so much for this video that is a great trick! Also love the GoPro on the saw :):):) The only thing I will do differently is keep the blade guard on my saw :):):) Thanks again!

[@barbnelson9386]

FINALLY someone has clearly explained how to cut mitered corners less than 90 degrees. It’s absolutely amazing that I have spent hundreds of hours on the internet while installing my baseboards and could not get the simplest explanation on why my angles were never correct. Thank you!

[@terrwils1]

This video saved me from even more hours of confusion and wasted cuts. Thanks man! Sub'd.

[@greenjova]

How cool. I have struggled using a speed square for the same result. This is so much better. You have got me thinking about a jeg held in place with magnets, sicky tape or velcro. Maybe CA glue is the best.

[@graphguy]

Great tip, most other videos have you building a 90 jig that is reusable. But I like the quick 'disposable' jig here, far faster and does the same thing - cuts acute miters.

[@mvque]

Best trick ever! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@nascarnate326]

Bro THANK YOU. Just learning some of this stuff and I have extremely basic tools, massive help.

[@mrpoopypants9586]

Wow. One of your old ones, but what a great, quick jig. Brilliant. Thanks for the tip. Love your stuff, greetings from Australia. PP

[@Tabbetof]

I’m doing shoe moulding on my basement stairs and needed this video right now. Thank you sir!

[@GradyElla]

Just had to do the 3/4 round bead molding on a floor job in a geodesic dome house. I wish I had seen this sooner. I could have finished that part of the job in a quarter of the time it took me. There are very few 90s in a dome! Thanks for a great tip.

[@byronc7284]

Thx to this video i recently trimmed some wainscoting. I cut a few pieces at 81degrees or 9 degrees (however you want to look at it). I had to nail my trim to the jig so i wouldn't bind. The first time it did and it scared the shit out of me. So by nailing it, it took my hand off making it safer. Thx for the tip. It made me look like a rockstar at work.

[@uglystickpro]

Thanks for the video. You did a great job explaining each step.

[@noureddine309]

Again you make it look so easy man. thank you very much . Very helpful

[@Grunt300z]

Thanks man, you saved me. Thanks for being my teacher this morning!
