Howdy folks! In this video, I give you step-by-step instructions to build a beautiful custom craftsman-style door surround. Not difficult to do - mostly straight cuts - and only takes a few hours. Looks so much nicer than store bought trim work and, by doing it yourself, saves you hundreds in contractor expenses.
You should also check out my Painting Trim Work video - there is a link below to the painting video.

That has got to be the most meticulous OCD job ever. It’s beautiful for sure but at some point in time if anyone wants to remodel it seems they will need to virtually destroy the entire door opening with the use of the construction adhesive. I enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Buy some 2p10 CA glue for all returns. Im hooked on it, no need to nail. Great work!
Beautiful work , attention to detail is great. Thank you
Great video! Probably the best craftsman surround "how to" video out there!!! Thanks for putting it together!
Thanks very much!
Wish you lived close to me so you could help me love your videos
Best tutorial on how you do this. Thank you for your time.
Howdy david raney! Thanks very much! Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck! 🍀
Simple and to the point - Great job! made it look easy.
Howdy Alex! Thanks very much! You are right - it's not hard to do and it looks great! Thanks for watching.
thanks for your work
Gorgeous! Looking forward to doing this in my entryway. And here my family thought I was nuts for asking for my porter cable nail gun/compressor set a few years ago - they're awesome and I use them so much!
Howdy Amy! The nail guns (and all the right tools) do make the job much easier. Thanks for the comment and please consider subscribing so you're included in the Do & Brew giveaway. Good luck on your project!
Already done! I like the video on the trim paint too. Lots of good tips in there. Thanks again, Amy
Thanks for the vid! Best one i’ve seen for doing casing. Wish i saw this before i did my windows.
Howdy inigo! Thanks very much...glad you liked the video! You mentioned that you have already completed your window surround, but if you’re interested in seeing this type of install around a window, you may want to check out video 13 of my complete kitchen remodel series. Thanks for watching!!! ☘️
This is so cool!! I can’t wait to try it.
Howdy Trish - thanks for checking out the vide and for the comment. There are two videos in my Full Kitchen Remodel series that may provide additional details in prep for your build - videos 12 & 13 of that series. Good luck on your project! ☘️
Very professional 👍👍👍
Love the detailed tutorial. Really enjoyed watching this video.
Howdy Dan Nago! Thanks very much! You might also enjoy video 12 of my Kitchen Remodel series where I build out a craftsman style window surround. Thanks for watching!!! ☘️

I just finished this build and it turned out great I am no carpenter believe me but with your video as my guide it went very well thank you so much for this Post I am ready to do all the doors in my house now. I love this casing style it is so elegant!
Howdy Robert Jones! Thanks very much! In the 3 years of Do & Brew this is THE BEST comment yet. And this is what it is all about!!! Helping each other out. I am so glad you were able to complete a beautiful door surround for your house...something YOU can be proud of for many years come.
I would love to see pictures of your finished project and post them on a future video. ☘️
Thanks for the reply not sure how to post the Pictures I will look in to that and try to send them to you.
again thanks so much
Howdy Robert! You can send them to DoAndBrew@gmail.com...I will be posting a window replacement and craftsman style window surround video soon...I will show your pics on that video!

good video. good work. good description. gonna tackle it myself now on my front door.
Howdy dan fearon! Thanks very much man! Good luck on your build...let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see you as a sub!
7 years later…Nice ring. Went there myself. Also what are the alternatives to using construction adhesive?
Thanks for the great comment! You do not have to use any construction adhesive. I like to use it to prevent the moldings from moving - even slightly. If your moldings/trim work moves, breaks / gaps in the paint show up and that drives me nuts! Good luck with your project. Go Dawgs! Alpha ‘90. ☘️
Great work!
Howdy knightryderbelow! Thanks very much!!!
liquid nail , why? is there any wood behind the drywall?
Nice! Thank you.
Howdy Dominic Elias .... thanks!!!
Excellent work. 👍
Howdy Jonell Ruiz! Thanks very much...glad you liked the project and the video! ☘️
AWESOME!!!!!! EXCELLENT!!! FANTASTIC!!!! I just hope I can do it, I dont have a table saw so the cutting might not be that accurate.

The best of the best
I have original surrounds around my interior doors and windows. Sure are neat.
Hey Mike, I love the video. I have what may be a simplistic question...what is the benefit of building out the surround on the floor, rather than installing each piece one at a time? Thanks for your reply!
Howdy Patrick Walsh! Thanks for the comment! To answer your question...I guess it comes down to personal preference. Every build is different...for this project it seemed best to do the initial assembly on the floor to get everything lined up and square - then lift the assembly into the jam. You could assemble it in place with no worries...in fact, that is how I build the patio slider surround - because it is so large...you may want to check out that video also. I will be posting a window surround video soon where I do the majority of the assembly prior to install. So - three different videos/examples on how to ‘skin this cat’! You can email me at DoAndBrew@gmail.com with questions. Plus I’d really like to see pictures of your finished project. Good luck on your build!!!
Very well done, thanks for sharing.
Howdy Farmercl's Woodshop!!! Thanks very much!!!
I can appreciate your level of OCD in your build.
I wonder why you didn't do return on bead board and Freize? This way you would have avoided showing end grain
Howdy ratipati! Good question…I decided to not do returns because I knew I would be painting this surround. If I was going to stain and finish it, I would have done returns. Thanks for checking out the video…good luck on your project! ☘️
Nice job.
Thanks Olga ines Medina !!!
I liked and subscribed to your page and I hit the bell!
Normally the hinges are on the inside wall so the door would open past the 90 degree opening, why would you put them in the middle of the wall and how do you keep the user from tearing the door off of the hinge
Howdy Charles Burns! Thanks for the question. A bit of a complicated answer... incredibly the exterior walls of this house were not insulated by the builder 60+ years ago - just brick, block wall, furring strips and drywall. This house is in a cold climate (its 9 degrees F right now) so I have been insulating all of the exterior wall - so I had to build a stud cavity to accept the insulation. The stud build up resulted in the inset door. This door opens to the eat-in part of our kitchen...behind the door is a wine bar...so not opening past 90 degrees is actually a good thing as the door would come too close to the built in wine racks. Also, If I had moved the door in to set the hinges in a more standard position I would have had to addressed the interior floor - which would then be exposed to the elements outside. Finally, this is not the most used entry door in the house...our main door is considerably wider and sees much more traffic. So - a long answer - and there were many concessions made during construction, but in the end we decided it was most important to properly insulate the house for winter and summer energy savings. Good question and great observation though! Hope to see you as a subscriber!!!
I'm trying to convince my wife on this same style header but she's concerned with the lack of space between the top of molding and the ceiling. Do you plan to have crown in this room above this door? It would be a great reference for my door molding plans. Thanks for making this video.
Howdy Nick! Yes, I also want to have crown molding above this door (and others with the same carftsman surround). I will do a crown molding video at some point...I am planning to do a "built up crown" - or stacked crown - meaning a cornice at the top, the lower detail at the bottom (on the wall), and a standard crown molding in the middle. The lower edge of the detail board will be about 4.5 inches down from the ceiling. My ceilings are 8’1”. The cornice on the door is ~8.5” from the ceiling. So, I will have about 4” to 4.5” between my cornice and the lower edge of the crown. I have done this before and it looks very nice and doesn’t look crowded. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks much for the comment and the sub!
Nick Murdock she worry about dust tee hee..
Nick Murdock ,good
Could you tell me what do you mean when you say you cut the crown molding upside down and backwards?
Howdy Michael! It may be confusing, but it is exactly that - upside down and backwards. So if you are cutting the left mitered corner, it should be pointing to the right after you cut it…the upside down part is placing your crown molding on your saw table in the same orientation as it will be against the ceiling or top of the piece you are building. Try to cut a couple scraps first…it will make sense once you get your head around it. Good luck! 🍀
hello Mike, I have a question about how to install crown molding on a vaulted ceiling.
Howdy Mitch G, please send your question to DoAndBrew@gmail.com. Thanks for watching!!!
love, wish me luck. im going to try this..lol
Howdy MischievousKittie! Thanks for the comment! Good luck on your build...let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see you as a sub!
MischievousKittie I’m sorry but you look so gorgeous
Okay, we've looked everywhere trying to find the crown molding in the video. No luck. Home depot doesn't carry it here. Any other suggestions? We are trying to replicate this design in our house.
Howdy Sunshine! I bought that crown at my local HD…give me a few days - next time I am there I’ll try to get you a SKU#.
Thanks for the video! I am going to do this at my house! What size boards and crown molding trim are you using?
Howdy Greg Shank! Thanks for checking out the video!
Parts list is wood (I used select pine, but poplar is better/cheaper choice if you can get it), nails, glue, primer and paint. I purchased all of the hardware and wood at my local Home Depot.
Here are all the dimensions from the bottom up:
The casing (or jam) is 3/4" thick x 4.5" wide x 81.25" tall
The bead board (entablature base) is 1/4" thick x 1.5" wide x 42.25" long
The frieze is 3/4" thick x 4.5" wide x 42" long (this should be the same measurement as the outside width of your casing)
The cornice is 5/4" thick x 3.5" wide x 47" long
The crown molding is cut to fit under your cornice board
These dimensions are for a 32" wide door. Most likely your measurements will differ a bit (or maybe a lot) depending on the size of your door.

Thank you so much! I will send some pics when I get this accomplished!
Beautiful design! How long did it take to build this?
Thanks Donna! I took about a day and a half - then about four days to finish and paint. Thanks for the comment!
How would you build that if you have a barn door? The just above or don't do it? Thanks for the info or suggestions.
Howdy Jerry Kramer! That’s a tough question. I am familiar with barn door installs...you could build a hollow box surround to conceal the barn door rail. Not sure if it would look lopsided since you would have to extend out on the side the door slides out...might look nice and would hide that hunk of steel.
Yes true. That would be more like a cornice? I'm with you it maybe too lopsided
Nice and informative video! You have a new sub :D
Thanks Nomad Makes…welcome aboard! ☘️
What type wood did you use? Nice work!
Thanks for checking out the video! All of the wood used for this surround is clear pine. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck with your project! ☘️
Like it that You are very meticulous!!!
Excellent...
Can you show how to do a window?
Howdy George M! Thanks for the comment. Yes I will do a window video, but it will be a few months until I get to that project. I have done this same surround on a window, but it was completed before I began posting videos on RUclips...so please stay tuned...it's coming! Thanks for subscribing! Mike
Howdy George M! For a window surround video, please check out video 13 of my kitchen remodel series. Let me know if you have any questions. ☘️
What type of wood are you using for this entablature?
Howdy LUNA WORKSHOP! I used clear / select pine = expensive. I am working on another project now using poplar...the low end of hardwoods, paints up very nicely and is 1/3 the cost of the select pine...I’ll be posting that project soon - replicating door casings that were shaped by hand over 200 years ago as part of a historic home renovation that I am working on. Thanks for the question and for checking out the video! ☘️
How wide is the board on top and the cornis ?
Howdy Fernando Alvarado! The frieze Is 41-11/16” long and the top board is 47” long....hope this helps!
Wouldn’t it have been raiser to build completely on the floor and then set in place. Save and lot of up and dow on the ladder
I feel sorry for the poor SOB that has to go in there and demo and/or repair that in the future.. Nailed and glued the shit out that lol
Spend less time just by taking down the whole wall
I've seen other guys build it all as one piece then just place it against wall so it could all just be removed cleanly.
I also subscribed.
Great! Thanks Dan Nago!!! ☘️
Did you do this to all doors in house or just the entry way doors.
Howdy Jerry Kramer! My plan is to put this surround on all the doorways...I am almost done! Thanks for watching!!!
@@DoAndBrewDIY and the windows as well. Im in middle of remodeling and going to do the same look. Like how you did yours
Howdy Jerry Kramer! For your windows...you may want to check out videos 12 & 13 of my kitchen remodel series - I do a window surround in 12 and a large wall walk-thru in 13. I also have a large patio door surround video you may want to check out. Good luck on your builds and let me know if you have any questions. ☘️
I'm looking at which style, currently re doing ceiling walls then floor do collecting info and love the look you are doing thsts why I'm asking maybe some mundane questions.
I think you forgot to glue a couple of spots and came up short on some of the nails and staples
Hi Mike could I get the timber sizes you used please.
Like what size beed etc
Great video I am going to try this for sure,it looks great.
Thanks.
Hi Allan, Starting from the bottom up -
The casing or jam is 3/4" thick x 4.5" wide x 81.25" tall
The bead board / entablature base is 1/4" thick x 1.5" wide x 42.25" long
The freize is 3/4" thick x 4.5" wide x 41 and 11/16" long (this should be the same measurement as the outside width of your casing)
The cornice is 5/4" thick x 3.5" wide x 47" long
The crown modeling is cut to fit under your cornice board
These dimensions are for a 32" wide door. If your door opening is different you will have to adjust the widths of your boards.
Thanks for the question - let me know if you have more questions - happy to help! Good luck and please post a picture of your finished door surround!
sorry mike,your frieze looks wider then your casing I'm I mistaken?Its just the measurement you gave me have them the same width.
Thanks
Allan
Hi Allan...the frieze and the casing 'show' the same amount of wood. But - you did catch a mistake in my measurements....the frieze board is actually 5.5". The top 1" is covered up by the crown molding. To be clear, the frieze board is 5.5", but you only see 4.5". Does that make sense? Great catch!!! I try to limit the amount of cutting I have to do - so the casing is a 1x5 and the frieze is a 1x6. I take time picking out my boards to ensure I have nice clean, straight edges.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
5/4 inch = 1.25"; so the cornice is 1.25"T X 3.5"W X47"L @@DoAndBrewDIY
@@capringlesss yes.

hello 1:13 top of door , bottom of top jamb. i have a similar mark and wondered what does that.
@@DoAndBrewDIY 1:13 by your head top of door bottom of top jamb. I jave similar marks. What causes that? Also great video you are a great craftsman. Very nice.
Howdy Bill! Man I am sorry, but I am not seeing it. The only thing is see is the ‘line’ formed by two 2x4s set side-by-side. If that does not answer your question, please send a screen grab of the scratches to DoAndBrew@gmail.com. Thanks for the nice comment!!!! ☘️
Why did you use crown staples instead of nails from nail gun? Thank you
Howdy Krys Yaw! I could use my finish nailer, but I like the holding power of the crown staple. I have found over the years that the big 'U' shaped staple tends to hold better over time with changes in temperature and humidity. A finish nailer - or finish nails and a hammer - will work perfectly ok. Good luck on your project!!!
With all that glue and brad nails it’s not going anywhere 😂
Could you verify , the door jam was measured at 81 1/2 inches ,however you cut the stile to 81 1/4
Howdy leon dvr! Your are spot on...stile is 81-1/4, and a 1/4 bead molding at the base of the cornice. Great question...thanks for asking!!!
Molding cement
Any chance for a parts list from say like Lowe’s or Home Depot for the people like me that need the extra help? Thanks!

@@DoAndBrewDIY Thank you so much for the detailed reply, SUPER appreciated!! I think I got it, but if you have time for one more question.. I have an 8" compound miter saw.. Do you know what piece(es) of crown would work (that are sold at HD or Lowes) for that size of a saw? I plan on going today and trying one door today.. Thanks again!
Howdy Tom Scott! The rule of thumb is you can cut crown molding that measure half the size of your miter saw. So you can cut a 4” wide crown with your 8” miter saw. A 12” saw could cut a 6” wide crown. Cutting crown molding is tricky...you have to cut it upside down and backwards! Most likely you will have some gaps at your miters or along the ceiling or wall - don’t caulk those gaps - fill with spackling and sand...takes more time, but you’ll be happy you did in the long run. Good luck on your project! ☘️
Do And Brew - DIY thanks again. I have Everything up except the crown piece and I cannot figure it out. I’m afraid I already wasted one piece but not 100% sure. I’ve watched about 10 videos and still can’t figure it out and feel like a complete idiot. If you have an email address that you’d be willing for me to send you a picture of what I have. Let me know and thanks again for all the help

Howdy Nancy Ping!, Thanks for your question....Starting from the bottom up -
Note: for reference a 1" x 4" board is is 3/4" thick x 3 1/2" wide.
The casing or jam is 3/4" thick x 4.5" wide (a 1 x 5) x 81.25" tall
The bead board / entablature base is 1/4" thick x 1.5" wide x 42.25" long
The freize is 3/4" thick x 4.5" wide x 41 and 11/16" long (this should be the same measurement as the outside width of your casing)
The cornice is 5/4" thick x 3.5" (so = 1 x 3.5) wide x 47" long

Thank you so much!! gonna try and tackle this project next couple weeks when I have some time off of work.. will send pics.. by the way.. My current windows have a marble slab on the shelf- whats the best and easiest way to remove those? Also my window inside is framed by drywall, would you cut out or just nail into it?
Thanks so much!!!
Howdy Nancy! Regarding the marble and the window framing...it’s hard for me to give you advice without seeing exactly what you’re dealing with. Please send me some pictures to DoAndBrew@gmail.com and I’ll see what you can do.
Hi- I am struggling finding the right board for the cap.. I assume it's 1 1/4 thick? I've been to lowes and home depot and nobody seems to know what I'm looking for- can you please tell me where to get that board? Thank you!
Howdy Nancy Ping !!! It is a 5/4 pine board....pronounced “five-quarter”. It is a true one inch thick. I get mine at Home Depot. It is in the select wood section - where you’ll find the oak, poplar, etc. Hope this helps - let me know if you still have trouble. Good luck with your build! Please send pictures to DoAndBrew@gmail.com
Why didnt you paint it 1st?
Howdy anthony 35! I prefer to install, fill with sparkling, sand, prime, caulk, then paint because the overall finished result is seamless, beautiful and maintenance free for years. Thanks for the question.
I was totally confused until I realized that the entry door swings out.
sir you need to fix that cord on your router - safety first !!!
Howdy Manuel Garcia! You are absolutely right!!! DeWalt tools usually outlast the cords... I need to replace my jigsaw cord also - next weekend’s project! Thanks for the comment.

Howdy Albion Watts ! Already done! My later videos feature the original Western Blues music of singer/song writer Jonivan Jones....so - real music! Thanks for watching and for the props!
Now i hate guitars, at least my door will look nice.
Howdy rob bacon ! Yes they will...thanks!
....and I am sorry I ruined guitar music for you! 😀
@@DoAndBrewDIY lol no worries. The knowlege youbgave me is soooo worth it. Awsome video.
The term “Surround?” Is new to me and sounds kinda lame, the term “casing” must be to passé now. Great video as far as instructions and explanation goes but way over kill w/ liquid nails squirted on the walls and that “2x4” on top seems overdone and quite big for “casing” work. I Guess it’s just another persons perspective..
What 2x4?
As always this videos are from people who have been doing this for a leaving and for years, is easy to tell because they have a shop and all the tools needed in order to do this, what about a do it yourself who doesn't, I ain't going to spend hundreds of dollars on all tools and equipment needed to do just a Craftsman entry door surround. This video doesn't help.
Howdy Chaly Falcon !!! Well, I guess I’ll take your comment as a compliment. I have been doing home improvement, finish carpentry and furniture building as a hobby for nearly 30 years, but I am not a “professional “. My ‘job’ has me sitting behind a desk staring at a computer all day. I do DIY work because I absolutely love it! I don’t have a shop...Not sure if you watched the entire video, but did you notice that I am doing most of the work on my very small back deck? Yep, I don’t even have a garage to work in! So when it rains, all work stops for me! As far as my tools - yes, I have a good assortment of tools...some of them I bought over 25 years ago. What you see in ‘my toolbox’ has taken me a lifetime to collect! My advice to anyone just starting out is to spend the money to buy quality tools. Back when I was just starting out, I may have only purchased one or two tools a year, but now I have what I need to do most anything. I am sorry you did not find this video helpful as I try to explain and demonstrate each step as clearly as possible. Maybe watch the video again? Please consider subscribing because eventually You’ll see me build a Log Home myself - a lifelong goal of mine. If you really love this stuff, and set your mind to it, I really do believe you can build anything!
Do And Brew - DIY hey mike, don’t be afraid to recommend to folks like this that have a similar question about how to do it without spending hundreds or thousands on tools that if they are getting the materials from Home Depot then they usually have a tool rental department in most of them and they could rent what they need for the weekend for a fraction of what they would cost to buy new, and if that doesn’t work then there is craigslist. You can always find fantastic deals on tools on Craigslist. I’m getting a 12” Dewalt sliding compound miter saw tomorrow I found today that is less than one year old and the guy said it’s been used less than 5 times. Those saws are $599 plus tax and I’m getting this one for $200, it’s a steal!!!
And if those two options don’t work for them then maybe they have a friend to borrow a couple tools from. If they lay everything out and know the measurements of the project they can also have the lumberyard cut it then they can always hand nail with a hammer like you and I used to do till a few years ago, lol, and you can use a sander to soften the edges if they don’t have a router. There are always ways to get er done buddy. You and I didn’t always have the fancy power tools, nobody did, but some of the nicest stuff got built during that time!!
Love your videos buddy, keep em up please. What part of the country are you in if you don’t mind me asking buddy?
Take care and we will see you on the next video!!!
