Man I hate that people hassle you about your videos. They’re great. Awesome. I love watching your stuff when I need advice. I trust your info. You’re a good guy.
I love your honesty and transparency in the carpentry trade. I’m in the beginning stages of starting my own handyman business and it’s encouraging to see that we all have the same struggles. It takes a creative mind and confidence to solve the complex issues that arise in this field of work. Thank you for your reassurance and tips. ❤
Good job. When you say ‘won’t see that from my house’ reminds me of an older guy i used to work with who’d always say ‘a guy going by on horseback won’t see that’.
Needed a coffee after the tips. Good one. Nice weather, good equipment and going at it at your own pace. Oh Yah, "It's just a rental" which was the best tip of the day.
So entertaining and just what I needed to tackle today's project. Baseboards for the first time for me with dad's mitre saw. Thank you! I will keep watching your other videos!
As a newer maintenance tech (been doing it for 6 months after 10 years at my previous job) you've helped me out tremendously man. Thanks so much! Your knowledge and skills are awesome!
I stumbled upon your channel a couple years ago looking for some simple Sheetrock tips that I hadn’t learned, and seeing that you’re kind of the jack of trades as I am makes this one of my favorite channels cause you put all of the tips and tricks out there that others don’t do. Cheating trim a degree or two to make your corners tight, etc.
Your videos seem to be coming out right in the time frame of the project I have going on. I'm helping my son to remodel his 1916 home and the information you are providing has been very useful so thank you and keep them going
Ben, I really admire the integrity and humility that you exude in your videos. It’s one of the main reasons I watch them. Super helpful tips on baseboards and I’m looking forward to the rest of this remodel.
Another well done video! I appreciate you going through the finer details and the tricks to make the job look good 👍 you also have a nack for explaining things really well, that makes sense. I hope you do more finish carpentry videos in the future.
I love that you mentioned the strong joints. Had to pause the video and comment this because that’s exactly what I did😂 nice little refresher after a long days work 👍🏼😂
Good job and entertaining Ben, you're a funny guy and a real human being! When you keep missing the stud along the top of the baseboard, why keep nailing at the bottom when all those nails should be hitting the bottom plate anyway? I'm going to guess just a reflex action. Not a big deal though leave it for the painter, who I'm just going to guess is YOU!
Love Watching your videos. You make me laugh. I always mess up or whatever. And always say I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. LOLS! Especially when I start getting tired. Sometimes I can't even get on my knees. At 65, and I can hardly get back up. LOLS. Say Hi To The kidos. And have a Blessed Day.
You crack me up man. Keep up the good work. Love your videos. Working on a small house reno and have watched a lot your vids for tips and tricks over the last few weeks.
Hey I have that same saw! Nice work bud it helps to show the real story when remodeling...nithing goes as planned exactly and ya gotta fix the other guys mess ups...it takes a certian finesse!
Just started watching your channel. Great advice. Thanks for all the great tips. My daughter came in and started watching too, but she thought I was watching " The Carbanaro Effect " You DO look and sound like him! I appreciate your "magic" more. Lol
Your sense of humor its gold. Thanks for the vids brother. Keep at it. We're all humans and sometimes we make mistakes. Laugh about and get er' done.👌💪💪💪
I've used dynaflex to stick down loose lay vinyl, worked great. having a flashing tape brayer to help roll it out after is good, but your foot works too
Nice! I like it! It's also good to know I'm not the only goofball out there doing work on homes. After all, my business name had to come from something from my era (zuba's, skateboarding, and street rap) and also make sense to my customers, but when I tell them how I got the name they laugh (from MC Hammer). I always love watching your videos and checking out your skate sessions! Btw: I almost always fall flat asleep on the couch right when I get home while my 2 boys are talking to me...👍
Being directed here by the funny carpenter after being subscribed to your skateboard channel for years and never having watched one of these is a very strange experience. Enough RUclips for today 😂 Keep up the awesome content. This is going to help with my home repair, to go along with the shoe reviews.
Short and sweet, I love your videos, I’m subscribed with all notifications and I think you do better work than 99 percent of your negative commenters ever could. Nice work brotha I’ll keep watching
In all honesty, flat stock trim is actually my favorite. It's what my dad installed in our house when he completely remodeled our house, and I just love the look. The crap in my current house is yucky. It has that rounded edge, it breaks easy, and it's stained from the 1980's. So, in my $156k house, I'm putting flat stock trim 😂
Love watching your videos. The only thing I would have done differently with this skirting is also make them plumb when doing the external mitres. I would also use a gauge to get the exact angle.
I always tried to stay away from putting 45s on inside corners and either cope or run through and butt in like you mentioned you usually do. Love your videos and all the helpful tips! Keep doing what you’re doing.
I was hoping that someone would mention this. If you're gonna splurge on 45's wouldn't it normally be done on outside corners with a coped inside joint? I thought it was an interesting choice.
I use a miter guage to get my angles perfect. Also I use 2 ledger sticks cut from pvc molding. I use a 5 foot stick and a 10 inch stick to place against the wall in one corner . I measure from the opposite corner up to my 10 in or 5 foot stick. This let's me get a precise measurement . I found 5 foot works for most rooms bedroom or living room size for average homes and 10" I use mostly for baseboard work .
Thanks for teaching us this in an entertaining way. I'm working on my house now and you came in handy. Also thanks for being cool to the spiders. The only insects a hit should be put on is mosquitos, roaches, fleas and flies.
So handsome and funny :-) Thank you for the great vid. I'm about to install profiled baseboard floor molding over a vinyl plank floor I just installed. Thank you again.
Don't remember the specifics, but when I used to help my dad on some jobs, I remember one of the guys installing baseboard putting a small 2x4 behind the baseboard to bend it out a bit, nail it in place, then slide it down to the next spot. Was always curious to the "why" behind it, but never seen it done since...
I love your channel, you are good at what you do, you are an humble soul, keep up the good work, one thing tought, when you are installing painted or MDF base board you dont have to glue any corners and you dont even have to mesure every studs, plus, the silicone that you are talking about "alex plus" is not silicone, its a latex base filler, you should always finish inside corners and the top of the base board with that product
Ever use a magnet to find studs? We use them on commercial buildings to find metal studs after walls been waterproofed, but it also works on wood framing because it finds the nails/screws
just starting watching your videos, and you come across genuine. Which most simply do not do Can totally relate to everything you do, and encounter. great videos
Hey @Vancouver Carpenter, great timing on this project as I'm gonna be cutting chair rail so appreciate the 44 and 46° angle adjustment. Love the quality of your vids too - kudos. And man do i wish i could ask you fir input on a drywallish project I'm doing today. Ohhh happy skating.
Oh those fractions make me go nuts! Use millimeters, centimeters and meters guys! Much more precise and easier to understand than using you thumbs and feet for measurements.
I think you should use more glue bro :| Been using a battery powered Brad nailer recently and I absolutely love it. Battery EVERYTHING now, for the most part. Good video, learned a few new things, thanks and keep them coming.
Nobody seems to cope the inside miters and returning the ends into itself that I learned from my father as a trim carpenter. That solves a lot of angle problems, and it will never separate...
@@JHDiddles12 True! I'm from Sweden and standard baseboard is 55mm high, (just over 2 inches) . If sawed laying down ( top against fence) you increase the risk of flaking aswell.
@@overstegsfintengg3053 most of the base used in Canada or US is over 4 inches these days. A lot of saws don't have the vertical cut height for that... I have a 12 inch saw with 6.5inch height capacity but my 7 1/4 cordless can just barely do 3 1/2 so it needs to be cut flat.
You still shooting your skating videos? I remodeled my house last year and I cut all the base boards in my house. I wish I used you 44, 46 degree idea. It took me a week to complete the job. My house is modern design and I used a simple 5 inch square cut MDF. I painted all my boards prior to cutting the boards. It was a lot of work and you are correct mocking 16 foot boards in the house is a pain in the neck. I used a Diablo blade on the saw. I also bought a Milwaukee battery nail gun vs a compressor gun. I loved using that gun. It was so much easier for me to use. One battery last the whole day. My job came out nice after i caulked the boards. My knees hurt a ton for a week after the job.
OMG this video was hilarious! "I just like my joints to be really strong" "I'm serious, I am a pro" "painters gonna love me" "That looks good from my house" "Splap! That's the technical term" 😆
I like to make to pull and mark 10inches or however far from where im trying to land. Then i add that amount to my measurement when i pull to my mark. Alot easier and more accurate then reading a bent tape.

I literally redid all the drywalling, flooring, and baseboards just off of your videos. You sir are a treasure.
Man I hate that people hassle you about your videos. They’re great. Awesome. I love watching your stuff when I need advice. I trust your info. You’re a good guy.
This guy is the absolute best. I've learned so much about painting and drywall from this channel... now I'm finally seeing him do carpentry!
I don't know why anyone gives you a hard time. You do great work. And, I really appreciate your teaching by showing us how it's done. Thanks.
I legit was about to install this same baseboard in my house tomorrow. The 46/44 corners makes a hell of a lot of sense. Thanks for that tip!
Remember, caulking is your best friend when doing baseboards. It'll cover up alot of the minor imperfections.
I love your honesty and transparency in the carpentry trade. I’m in the beginning stages of starting my own handyman business and it’s encouraging to see that we all have the same struggles.

Good job. When you say ‘won’t see that from my house’ reminds me of an older guy i used to work with who’d always say ‘a guy going by on horseback won’t see that’.
Watching your videos, I'm continually reminded of why I love metric. 😁
Love all the hard work, "in a dumpy rental".
Needed a coffee after the tips. Good one. Nice weather, good equipment and going at it at your own pace. Oh Yah, "It's just a rental" which was the best tip of the day.

You are so welcome!
Just so you know, I don’t mind at all when things don’t work out perfectly. Helps me a lot just to hear you work it out.
You crack me up man. Keep up the good work. Love your videos. Working on a small house reno and have watched a lot your vids for tips and tricks over the last few weeks.

Using my favorite hammer there.
Estwing 16oz.
I also have my Dads from 1963.
Many cool things have been built with that hammer over the years.
Excellent, you are so precise and accurate plus professional, God bless you.

This is exactly what I need !!!! Thats why I love your channel !!! Thank you sir!
first time I watched a video on base boards , I really enjoyed . very good tutorial,👍
Your sense of humor its gold. Thanks for the vids brother. Keep at it. We're all humans and sometimes we make mistakes. Laugh about and get er' done.👌💪💪💪
God I love your personalty. "Strong joints" hahahahaha! Thanks for the baseboard class professor VC.

Love this guy's attitude.
You are doing a great job. A lot of info for us non pros.
Dude, Canadian folks are so chill
very helpful. And timely.
Just so happens I'm putting in baseboard next week.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video. I learned a lot and I'll be using some of these tips and tricks in my job

Hey man,

This was a awesome video seeing it was done in a dumpy rental.
Anyhoo stay safe and healthy man.

Fun video.
One thing I like to do is leave the saw pulled out away from fence, whenever I leave it set to an odd angle.
When I fudge up trimwork, I just tell myself "putty and paint make a carpenter what he ain't."
Hilarious!
That’s a good one! I always heard that the difference between a good and bad carpenter is that the good carpenter hides his mistakes. Lol
I say "We do it nice .... cause we do it twice"
Do your best, caulk the rest. Lol
@@danielpeterson4330 this is the way

Thank You, Thank You... Keep up the good work!
We all had some strong joints back in the day. Then used power tools!
So handsome and funny :-) Thank you for the great vid. I'm about to install profiled baseboard floor molding over a vinyl plank floor I just installed. Thank you again.
I'm learning a lot from this channel - even though we're metric in New Zealand :O)
I learned so much from this video, it was very helpful. Someone get this man a coffee!! lol

"looks good from my house" - that's my new favourite saying
❤️ how you rescued the spider !
Great job! You are making it look good, while you teach!
Vancouver Carpenter provides carpentry tips?! What is this madness?! Thanks for the vid Ben :)
I used to watch several videos by multiple people to learn techniques, I don’t even go any farther than the Vancouver Carpenter any more !
This is painfully real. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely the best possible timing for this video. Thank you!
Same here.. is this dude watching my house to seen when I need to know stuff?
Just finished my baseboard when he posted this lol
You're welcome!
Damm! to late, i already install my baseboards last winter! Good tip for the futur work to!
Was a good video, I learned a lot! Thanks bro 😎

The best carpenters helper of all time .... 6 tubes of DAP
Ever use a magnet to find studs? We use them on commercial buildings to find metal studs after walls been waterproofed, but it also works on wood framing because it finds the nails/screws
My preferred way to do it. I bought some high powered magnets and covered them in painters tape. Have been finding them that way for a decade
this one geeked me. looks good from house...

Bee hive tool for scrapping the corner great idea.
MAN I wish my compound miter saw was able to cut 45 degrees when I set it to 45 degrees....
I sanded my leg with a flap disc. Glanced off board. I was wearing shorts. Much bigger grinder.
If you stand the piece up you dont need to tilt the saw, just move the base
Depending on the saw it might hit the arbor though and not cut all the way through
Ah, an argument for the ages, which way should you cut on a dual bevel mitre saw.

I thought you were going to grab a little residual sawdust from your saw for that last outside corner:) Great video!
