Wrapping doors and windows with coil stock. Part 1 The basics! Tips and tricks!

[@peterbarlow8912]

On the vertical sides we would have made it long enough to have a 2” tab at the top. Use it to nail the piece and eliminate some visible fasteners. Also I used to carry a couple scratch awls to start holes and temporarily tack the piece up to check the end fit before committing to nailing it home. The awls also make the nail hole slightly loose for stock expansion.

This is one of those things that you have to be doing it to figure it out while watching you. The angles are tough to understand unless you're doing it. Great video!!! Can't wait to try this.

[@theelevatorman1989]

I’d like to see a video covering your technique of wrapping brick mold on a steel sided house. Wow. My first time last week, what a headache! Nice video. Thanks for sharing this.

Learning brake work takes time to master but so worth it!

Nice work Jamey

Thanks!

[@honesthomebuyersdotca]

Great video showing how to take measurements and use a brake. Thank you for sharing with the world! Quick question, why use a hammer and nail to secure the coil? Aren’t there powered nailers that can do that better without risking a hammer hitting new coil and mucking it up?

[@Warren3carpentry]

A hammer and trim nails work better for control.

[@zachary0526]

Do you use any type of adhesive or caulk between the aluminum and the wood before or after finish nailing?

[@Warren3carpentry]

Thank you sir.

[@rexrobertsrepair8891]

HI, thanks for the video; super helpful! Apologies for the rookie question but is it ever possible to avoid using nails? Could some OSI or other exterior adhesive be applied to the backside to glue the pieces into place or will that not be a long-term reliable result?

[@Warren3carpentry]

We have almost alwas nailed. Sometimes u can hide the nails tho

[@neonpcmsplus]

If you got that brake for $200 that is amazing. I can't find a single cam lock style brake for less than $1000 used. The old Tapco windy special will have to do. Sucks that it cannot do a hem though so I have to beat it closed manually then crush it in the jaws.

Yep i have had it for over 20yrs made me a lot of money.

Great video. Thanks. How do you account for doors/windows in old houses where edges aren't actually straight? I've got 18 window to cap in a 1890 house and there's not a right angle anywhere

Practice practice trial and error! Start from the bottom and work your way up!

Is there a part 2? I’m hoping to do a door.

[@Warren3carpentry]

I have not made a part 2 unfortunately sorry!

[@jeffsr0308]

All good other than running your knife off the end of your coil and into the aluminum hinge. I score three times from left to right and three times right to left never going off the end of the metal!

[@Warren3carpentry]

How do u do it?

[@jeffsr0308]

@@Warren3carpentry I start at each end and work my way towards the center on my cuts. Dosnt cut up the hinges.

[@garysullivan8203]

@@jeffsr0308I’ve had my old van mark for over 25 years and have cut my metal the same way. Is my hinge all scored to rat shit….yup sure is. Does it affect anything…..nope. Probably go another 25 years doing it the same way. I however won’t be around that long……just sayin

@@jeffsr0308 couldn’t agree more Jeff. My old brake was used when I got it. I wasn’t being critical. Just giving my own personal perspective. Have a good one

[@jennineschabb28]

I had someone replace my old wood windows with vinyl ones and then they did wraps around them. They did a horrible job. The wraps are uneven and the caulking looks like a 5 year old did it. They are refusing to fix it. What can I do? If there is a way I could send you photos let me know. Thank you so much.

[@olegtuayev4045]

What kind caulking they used? Some of them cheap, so you can’t do proper work. For caulking better Tremco or Dow, but expensive

[@kyleprescott4572]

You said this is a 10’ door. If you were doing a 16’ door then have the option of the metal being 16’ without a seam but not the capability to bend it. So do you seam it?

[@Warren3carpentry]

It is a 16ft wide door my brake is 10ft long, I may have mispoke?

[@hadiplumley3096]

No you brake it in the center

[@hadiplumley3096]

Not sure if you're aware, but when you're installing the pieces around the garage opening, the camera is way off and we can't really see the important parts.

You're over cutting, hitting You're hinges. Stop short and cut the other direction. Saves wear and tear on your break. But nice job though.

[@Warren3carpentry]

Yep you are correct. This is a 20plus year old brake. Tume for a new one anyway

yep i have had my break for 36 years. old windy rookies almost cut through hinge doing that over the years.
