I think trim work is difficult to get right, especially in my case where there is a "dip" in the wall. Those screws are pretty great and would help a lot. Thanks

[@JediTim28]

Nice techniques...I continually learn from your project.

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks for watching!

[@peggykhiev2884]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@rogueengineer]

Glad it was helpful!

Very nice work on framing that window! Well done! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@rogueengineer]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I prefer to make the jamb square even if the window is not. Those screws are awesome! How is the kitchen, can't wait to see the finished product!

[@rogueengineer]

I can see the advantages of that view also. The kitchen is next on the list, will be working on the island and range hood next and then countertops.

As usual you've done another great job with your trim installation and helpful how-to advice. I always look forward to your email and the links in them. Could you please provide the 2 types of screws info, pocket and trim, you used for this project? Thank you very much.

typically1/8 reveal, this is called a jamb extension.

[@rogueengineer]

yea that is typical for trim and jamb extensions but this is the actual jamb and typically these window jambs would have an even larger reveal.

[@lonewolfeman]

@rogueengineer a matter of taste i guess.
