We saved $800 by MAKING our own PVC Corner Trim

[@MasonDixonAcres]

I'm experimenting with some longer cuts on this video and more native audio - let me know if you like it!

[@tapswitchmanager7359]

I did something similar in making 135 degree corners for my octagon footprint. Instead of using tape, I found some very cheap 12 inch velcro straps and used them. I was able to cinch tighter using them (tape kept breaking.)

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Nice idea!

[@StudPack]

Good work Mason, love the PVC. Smooth and easy to work with. They look great! 💪

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Hey thanks guys! We have learned some great tricks from your videos. Hope to see y’all at the Vegas builders show this year.

[@mikehiggins8673]

Super helpful. I’ve been planning a similar project and learned several ideas from your video. Thanks for posting. Jessem makes some fantastic rollers to ride atop material when making rips. Not only do the rollers hold material, they suck it up against the fence. They also help prevent kickback. You can Google to get a better idea how they work.

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Glad it helped, and appreciate the tip! Once I build out a woodshop here I'm going to figure out a good featherboard setup

[@williambarnicle569]

used clear regular pvc glue on the miters 10 yrs ago...holding up well. Had to take one down to repair siding n pvc outside corners were still solid. I aldo shot stainless 1.5 brads on varying angles. Never shoot straight, always a slight angle for friction hold

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Good to know someone else has a data point on this project! 1 year in and ours look good

[@GForceFitness1]

Everything looks fantastic! You're doing a great job! Love your attention to detail....from a fellow perfectionist.

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Haha glad you understand 😆

[@danielcookeb90]

Super effort you two. Great job again! 👍👍👍👍

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Thank you! We are happy with how they turned out 🙂

[@darrinjones6093]

Those doing this may want to consider an inside pocket jig with inch long composite screws to stop expansion rather than blocking and face nailing.

[@msk3905]

Price of these is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! I am debating whether to buy or make but if I make I plan use feather boards on side and top so i get perfect 45 angles

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Definitely make them. Less cost and more flexibility if there’s a dirty or dented spot in one board. Featherboards is a good idea, it’s tough to keep the long pieces perfecty straight in the tablesaw. If you have 3 people to help guide that would also do the trick

[@kevinhornbuckle]

On the horizontal butt joints, apply a bead of caulk before installing. Then it squeezes out to close the gap during install.

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Good tip! Luckily we only had that one at the end

[@danielcookeb90]

REMIND me WHY with your garage, you are lying on the FLOOR whilst brad nailing a coner mitre together!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 For CRYING OUT LOUD, would you not take 1/2 an hour out to create a temporary workstation - and do it STANDING UP! 😂😂😂😂 YOU GUYS! So funny!! Take care of your bodies! One day you will be older and regret, not taking more time to work SMARTER, not harder!!! You are a very smart, clever couple! Even if you need to delay the start of something ---- work smarter, not harder! Love the channel, and at 58, I'm definitely doing it again!!!!!!

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Haha thank you! For the 18ft long boards it was just more trouble than it was worth for the few minutes it took to glue and nail them. We do have our 12ft pallet table out front 😉

[@jaredourada]

The only thing i dislike about carpentry with PVC is that the sawdust never biodegrades. It just sits outside forever. Great job though.

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Don't disagree with ya there. We tried to capture as much as possible on cardboard beneath the saw table and vacuum as much as we could

[@Sparisland]

Are you using a single 2-3/4" cortex screw centered every 16" on the fastened side?

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Somewhere around that yep!

[@Sparisland]

@@MasonDixonAcres Thanks. I stumbled on the Azek cornerbard screw spec yesterday and it calls for 2 screws at each end and 1 every 12" between. I've used 16" oc with no problem but I always use 2.5" screws for downspouts to get back to the frame for support. I also make my own rather than spend #45 each for prefab.

[@MasonDixonAcres]

@Sparisland yeah I think 12”oc is a bit excessive personally. Good luck with it!

[@jamesguerrieri949]

I am going to be that guy. At the 2:19 mark you cross your left hand in front of the blade to hold the right side and made the cut. This is a definite no-no, especially on a sliding miter saw. Stunts like this is why radial arm saws got a bad rap. Please think before you do stuff like this. It only takes one pinch, bind or catch and then an ER triage visit or worse.

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Appreciate the comment! Agreed it's definitely not recommended, I did that to keep the right side of the board flat to the table. Safer to use a clamp for sure. The next cut was better 😜

[@averageliving4Life]

Lol my body is worth about 40$ at this point lol.

[@CWilsonV]

Why is there so many bugs 😭

[@CWilsonV]

I like the way the corners look tho 😅

[@MasonDixonAcres]

We had a break in the cold weather where it was warm for a few days and the invasive asian lady beetles were looking for a place to overwinter.. not fun, they were everywhere!

[@MasonDixonAcres]

@@CWilsonV Thank you! Appreciate it!

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Will you be building a bathroom soon?

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Yep that and kitchen cabinets will be the first big interior projects after drywall! Videos on all the wiring and ductwork are on the list to edit, wanted to get through all the exterior stuff

[@kevinhornbuckle]

@@MasonDixonAcres I am helping a friend build three new bathrooms, each with curbless showers. Pebble floor with radiant heat. They are turning out to be very nice. I could send you photos if you need tips on shower tiling.

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Awesome! Our shower wont be curbless but will have radiant heat and a fully tiled shower and floor. Email the pics! Address is on the channel about

Мы в России боимся строить дома из дерева, из газобетона крепче, проще и лучше!!!
