I love to see someone with good craftsmanship,, especially when they’re young like you. You will customize your house the way you like. Wonderful to see a young person care so much about detail as you do! Great ideas. You make it seem less frightening to undertake. Great video! Thank you!
We love flute and rosettes moldings and always use wood inside all our windows and door frames. I never thought I would see a molding option I liked better than the flute around my doors and windows but you just proved me wrong. I am 62 and have been building for over 40 years. I am always so happy when I see young people with skills, integrity and who seek to do excellent work. You absolutely do all and more. I love learning and am a knowledge junkie. I appreciate your skill set and thank you for passing what you know on. I am always teaching my clients what we do and why we do it. It is my goal to leave them not only with quality, beautiful workmanship but knowledge for the future to make wise decisions no matter who they hire to do the job. Keep up the amazing work so we can all be better at what we do. I just wish you lived in my area! I would have you do all my finish work! And I don’t hire anyone because I can’t find people who do a better job than I am willing to do. That is the best compliment I can give anyone!!
Johnette Beaver I loved your commentary. It is wonderful to hear someone like you who has been in the trade for as long as you have and give someone so young a compliment. I love how you put your pride to the side and recognized his craftsmanship. I applaud you. I also wish he lived near me, hahahahaha.
I've been in Welding and Fabrication for 20 years and just stumbled across your videos. I enjoy watching your videos I can tell you really enjoy your trade. thanks for sharing.
You are definitely a legit Craftsman. I've been doing home renovations, property management, flips (even before they were popular. I've been in the trade since my father handed me a hammer at 13 with a little advice. He said that if my decision were to go to college, then he would find a way to get me there, but for right now, every weekend, every summer after school, and any other time he feels, I work for and with him. Only rule (which I later burnt into the trim casing around the front door of my shop) is "If you're early, you're on time, if you're on time, your late, and if you're ever late, you're fired" He had me stand on the sidelines for my first 6 months of weekends, watching every little thing he did, said, as well as his reactions to every and any thing. On our ride home, every night, he would ask me random questions about whatever he felt that I better know the answer to. After all of this torment, wouldn't you know, summer stopped by and my social life (whatever that was) ended. For my first year, I was only allowed to use the biggest, heaviest and most prehistoric tools, period. And yes he had them all. Then finally one day he tells me that starting tomorrow, he's giving me a raise. I actually couldn't sleep because I was so proud of myself for making him proud of me. Woke up, went to the Diner together, stopped at Wawa for coffee, and we pulled up to this house. I didn't even get a sound out of my mouth when he handed me a file book, a tape and a phone and said "A couple by the name Larry and Trisha called about looking at and giving an estimate for some work that they want. Also, make sure that you have whar you need from the van to satisfy any questions that they may or may not have. The phone is for the look and if I need him, but not to call unless I knew, that whatever was gonna come out of my mouth, would have me going over the shop parking lot with the magnet roller.i gathered what I needed, took about 3 or 4 steps, turned around, and watched him pull off. That one lesson alone, chose my future. I learned that I was a people person and felt confident talking, I realized that I knew the answer to questions and even showed them a few ideas of my own and drew pictures to boot. I guess my point is, I see in your language, mannerism, knowledge, respect and skills, that whenever the moment was that chose you, to become you, remember it, because that moment was when your soul realized that you are, where you were meant and built to be............ The P5, instated both inside and outside of the door casing tied in with the shoe, is a classy look, good eye. Maybe 86 the rail, and bring the boxes even height with the doors, and or the windows if possible. Not for nothing I'm not trying to sound like that guy, but that last little clip there, inspired me and for my house that's what I saw for my formal dining room. Thanks for that. Your world is about to take on a life of its own, enjoy the ride brother, many don't experience it. 👍
Dude, you rock! That was really useful and insightful. I'm remodeling my house and this video popped up when I searched for trim. So happy I watched. Thanks a bunch.
Mr. Richard, This is one of my favorite video . I have treasured this on account of the simplicity and beauty. I will be doing your third option to my onw house. Just to let you know that I have followed DFW for over four years plus and I keep on coming back to this demonstration. Thank you so much for the inspiration. you do a wonderful job. I plan to send you a little something when all is finished here in my family room. I have gone to the classes that the WOOD STORES offer but if I cannot put a price on what I learn from you. This is priceless. PEOPLE, you cannot find this knowledge at any paid class. This is a GOLD MINE of learning the craft.. Enjoy your day, Michael A.
You are a natural teacher! Using trim, with multiple possibilities, to customize our own homes is exciting and you make it look possible for those who what to do it themselves. From the first sentence, you explain in such a clear and concise way that it makes easy sense. The video length is nice to grasp the concept and has enough detail to want to look into more of your videos. Your camera person knows how to frame the video including when to zoom in for details. All of this put together makes me eager to make you my go to Trim Idea Guy. Thanks
Thank you. I'm closing on my house it's a 100+ year old home with large but basic trim throughout gonna step the trim game up. I like the one you choose for your home really sets It Off great video
LOVE the 3rd option you presented. The other options are very nice as well but I really loved your selection. It truly does look very high end. Thank you for the information.
Truly a talented finish carpenter, your my source of knowledge for my kitchen baseboard project. You have truly raised the bar on trim finish installation.
I like the way you experiment with new and unusual design ideas. Great for the potential customer to see various possibilities. Great for UPSELLING a job and customer appreciation.
Only watched because you seemed so dedicated. You are very talented and creative. Thank you for showing us all what is possible. I have no plans for trying this but I'm sure your home will be beautiful.
All man you have mad skills, I've learned so much watching your videos. Who ever is lucky enough to hire you for their home improvements struck gold. I love how you put a new twist on the old school stuff and give a more modern look. As usual another great video, thanks.
I also LOVE shoe moulding! I think it totally makes the room look clean & finished, not to mention covering up a multitude of sins between the base & the flooring. I have yet to install base on a perfectly flat & level floor, but the shoe (& a good caulk job) can be manipulated to hide any small gaps. I love your videos They are informative & interesting & they are detailed enough to give a really good how-to without being slow or repetitive. I always learn something from them. I have a bathroom I installed beadboard in as wainscoting and I want to top it with a 1x3 as a "chair rail" with a 1x4 shelf installed at a right angle atop that. I want it to be strong enough to actually be used as a shelf for small items (picture frames, hair products, etc...) & I was thinking about using pocket screws to attach it to the studs. I just can't figure out the sequence & if that will actually work. I always see people top nailing the chair rail with finishing nails and that just doesn't seem strong enough. The wall is NOT flat (it is an old mobile home so I work with what I have) so if I put the 2 pieces together & then try to install it as a solid unit, I am gonna have gaps on both the 1x3 & the 1x4. If I put in the 1x3 1st I can cheat some of the lower gap & hide the upper gap under the shelf but I am gonna be pocket screwing in from the outside of the right angle & that is never good. I figured I would ask the expert! What do you think?
Thank you for removing an obnoxious troll that was trying to poison your channel. He had attacked some of my comments, and was definitely not anyone who was making a valuable contribution to your excellent channel. Please keep adding your great content. I really enjoy your posts.
Here's a cool idea I saw somewhere but haven't tried yet. With that plain casing and baseboard when you go to add your pm5, or anything you like, you would use a one or one and a half inch spacer and install the pm5 above your baseboard. This will only work for painted trim. But when you finish you paint the pm5, the space you left between and the baseboard and or casing all the same color and it'll look like its all one piece and a much more expensive piece at that. Might look nice in your house.
I have been watching your videos for just over a year and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate a young man with excellent craftsmanship. Your ideas and videos are amazing!
I enjoy watching your videos. This video was particularly interesting to me because of your interest finishing the baseboards. Yes, I too am a fan of a finished baseboard. Thank you. Good luck!
Wow this was such a fantastic way to upgrade and transform trim to make it look like it a very classic expensive trim. Thank you for this! Bravo!!! Cheers from Toronto!
Excellent ideas. The trim you chose for your house (the third example you showed) will look great and will add a very high-end touch that future buyers won't see in every house. Setting your house apart from the competition is going to pay off down the road.
Interesting applications of the moldings we have to work with, unless we shape our own. Back in Va working on colonials we used plinth blocks for the transition from base to door trim.
That corner molding on flat casing is a very classic look. That is almost exactly what a previous house of mine had when it was built in 1913. A cool baseboard treatment that I did was to have a base shoe in front of a 7-1/2" baseboard. Then turning my electrical outlets sideways, I placed the box so that the outlet plate was exactly 1/4" above the top of the baseboard. Then I added a case molding at exactly 1/4" above the outlet plate. I used chocolate brown outlets and plates and then painted the shoe, base, case and any exposed drywall a chocolate brown colour. The effect was that the base board looked like it was 14" tall. Very classy look in our living and dining rooms with 10'6" ceilings.
Yes that second pm5 by the hinges definitely looks good 👍💥 When you finish with your Trim, you got to do a walk-through and show how it turns out that's going to look nice 👍💥 Look forward to hearing from you God bless 👍 Ken
Yooooo that looks so good!! I just bought a brand new house...just finished being built two months ago in January 2023 but it's straight up builder grade and I hate so many things about it. One big thing I'm changing is the molding and baseboards, trim and frames. It's all going and all being replaced. This video helped me choose a style so much. Thanks man!!
I’m doing it super simple because I’m a newbie and it looks SO different just having trim but dayum look at the options! Thanks for the Kreg jig idea!!
I do alot of 1x mouldings too...instead of pocket holes to flush up casing to base, to get perfect reveals on 5/4 headers to the 1x side casing, or flush up 1x headers to 1x side casing, I use my festool domino joiner, but you can also use a biscuit joiner. I work a lot by myself so it's easier and quicker for me. Plus with the domino machine I can set it to a wider mortise which allows for movement...if I need to slide one piece up, down, left, right...or seasonal movement if I'm using real wood and not MDF.
I love shoe molding bro! You do great work my man and you deserve everything good that happens for you. God bless you brother and thank you for another good video
I love to see someone with good craftsmanship,, especially when they’re young like you. You will customize your house the way you like. Wonderful to see a young person care so much about detail as you do! Great ideas. You make it seem less frightening to undertake. Great video! Thank you!
I love this guy, ever time I look at his videos I want to tear out all my trim and redo it
We love flute and rosettes moldings and always use wood inside all our windows and door frames. I never thought I would see a molding option I liked better than the flute around my doors and windows but you just proved me wrong. I am 62 and have been building for over 40 years. I am always so happy when I see young people with skills, integrity and who seek to do excellent work. You absolutely do all and more. I love learning and am a knowledge junkie.

Only watched because you seemed so dedicated. You are very talented and creative. Thank you for showing us all what is possible. I have no plans for trying this but I'm sure your home will be beautiful.

It great to see a young person doing this kind of work. Keep it up.
Thank you!! We are looking to sell out house in the next few years and this is a nice, cheap way to make it look great!
So impressed with he pocket holes! Excellent ideas. Thanks.

You make it pop going old school. Cost time and lack of skills kills creative beauty. But you have it together. Im sure your house will be amazing.
Thank you for removing an obnoxious troll that was trying to poison your channel. He had attacked some of my comments, and was definitely not anyone who was making a valuable contribution to your excellent channel. Please keep adding your great content. I really enjoy your posts.
I'm with you on the shoe moulding too, man. Stoked to see it installed and painted. Thanks for the content as always!

Last option is SICK !!! LOOKS BAD ASS !!!
WOW...these are great ideas! I am just now putting up casing/baseboard...will follow your ideas here. What a different it makes!
Some great options. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Nice tips. I can see how this will even work on existing moldings to make a more decorative trim. Good job.
I have been watching your videos for just over a year and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate a young man with excellent craftsmanship. Your ideas and videos are amazing!
He's an actor. It's all scripted and fake. He's being directed by Bob Villa.
Nice, simple and direct video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
I agree. Shoe mould for the win
I enjoy watching your videos. This video was particularly interesting to me because of your interest finishing the baseboards. Yes, I too am a fan of a finished baseboard. Thank you. Good luck!
