I've been looking at their occurrence on internet videos and no matter how great the video there are a routine 3-5% downvotes - no matter the source, the content. This video received the predicted number of downvotes - 3.83% in this case (as of the day of this comment).

      I'm not sure why is it essential that no-one likes the video. Likes are still dominating on most videos. I also assume some of those dislikes are made by bots for some technical purpose or more likely are accidental clicks on a mobile phone. It is also possible that someone was having a bad day and did not find this video useful for their urgent need. Why care about haters when you can be happy about that so many liked it?
      PS. I didn't like or unlike the video although I found using those nails a bit horrifying. I mean why? It was prettier without them.

      the secret to perfect picture frames is miters exactly @ 45 and opposite sides of frame exactly the same length - the 45's are easy if you have a miter saw - opposite sides same length can be achieved by setting a stop so both will be cut the same

    please note that the amount being removed at 9:43 will be different according to the varying widths of the kerf. You must do an initial trial cut on any new blade that you purchase to determine how much material it is going to remove.
    Aside from that , a really excellent and pleasant video to watch. No pointless rambling , just straight to the point in a clear and concise manner.

  • @siegfriedbraun5447
    @siegfriedbraun5447 6 лет назад

    A real craftsman! Finally. For efficiency, have all the pieces oriented the same way for cutting when doing the first end. Then, when marking, label the back of each piece (T1, B1, L1, R1, T2, B2, L2, R2, etc.) and take the whole post-worth of molding to the saw for cutting. Means using a sharp pencil, instead of a knife, but it surely works. Also, you can mark the back of the piece to confirm the exact place to cut, taking the guess-work out.
    Seating your saw into a flush work-table will make for a lot less fiddling about and makes for quick, accurate and efficient cutting (you can keep the blade spinning, once you get good [saving on brake-wear]).

    Very good video. Your truck to take a c-hair off is something I've been doing for 40 years. I've also put the wood against the carbide tips and kinda used the miter saw like a sander. That really takes off a super small amount. I personally am not afraid to go back to the saw a few times to get it dead on. Nice work!

      Brian newton
      The other benefits to fitting the longer pieces last and putting a slight bow in the trim [if made just a hair too long] is that once installed and the centre pressed in, is you get beautifully tight mitres. In addition by utilising this method of springing in the slightly oversized longer trim, is that when the moulding inevitably shrinks slightly over time, there won’t be unsightly open gaps in the mitre. However everyone has their own way of doing this and ultimately if it works for you then there’s no reason to change.
      The trick for taking off a minute amount by pressing the piece against the saw blade is a well known technique across the world, but nevertheless still worth mentioning to assist the novice woodworkers.

    It is always a good idea to cut and install your shorter pieces first. This is because the longer pieces you can bow the wood to get the ends in place and then snap the middle into place. This works even if your pieces are a tiny bit too long it will also give you a tighter mitre often not needing any filler or spackling..

    One thing that you've probably done by force of habit for so long that you fail to mention is that you stop the saw at the end of the cutting stroke instead of raising the arm with the saw blade spinning like many novices do.
    This can cause accuracy and splintering problems affecting the clean cut line look.
    You're a Master !
