Loved this video. Showed me a bit how to work it trail and error, by which I mean how to start and how to make adjustments.
Also wouldn’t have thought to pry to adjust fit. So many helpful things in one video
Thank you, glad I could help.
Very well done. And thank you for saving our hearing by deleting the worst of the sawing noise : )
Thanks and you are welcome.
just used this last night! big help. union carpenter for 20 yrs, do my own thing now. women wanted round corner. she got kids. Huge Help. i would have got it, but would’ve took little time!! yea 1/4 “ in from where it starts , 9/16 piece , nice job !!!Thank you!!
Glad I could help.
Loved your video and love your personality. You’re a quality craftsman thx for sharing it helped me.
You are welcome. Glad it helped.
Thank you - sure appreciate the instruction. Smart idea to pull out the side with the chisel.
You are welcome. I hope it helped.
22• degree angles worked well under my door , transition to wall base boards weren’t even so this video gave me an idea how to run it back ,helpful knowledge on my bullnose corners also , thanks mate ....
You are welcome. Glad I could help.
This is the best tutorial on trimming around bullnose. Just remember 22.5 and 9/16s, and that’s ur start. Thanks
You are welcome and thank you.
5/16ths he said
@@Notjordan1206 That is right.
Add 5/16’s to the wall pieces but your corner piece is 9/16’s, correct?
You do nice work. I have curved walls corners and have been dealing with them trying to do this myself. I'll give it a shot again. Someday I'll finish mitering and completing the baseboards.
I hope my video helped. Sorry for the delay, been away from the internet.
I enjoyed your video. I've made untold thousands of 3 piece bullnose base corners over the last three decades as a trim carpenter, ever since bullnose drywall corners became common. I NEVER do the corners this way by adding the shorty as a last piece. I set, mark where the miter needs to be-by eyeballing the gap, cut the miter, cut and install the first long piece. Cut a 22.5 on the shorty and set it in place, and mark the other 22.5 where it will intersect the next long piece. Glue and pin the shorty. Then measure to the long point on the little piece. Mark and cut at 25 degrees, NOT 22.5, so the outside is closed. Also I regularly use my hammer to persuade pieces into place. And use a small 18 gauge OMER nailer. Plus glue the heck out of the entire corner before pinning it with TiteBond 3.
This is way easier to watch then me explain, but I can fly on these corners and very rarely have the short piece to recut, because it was marked in place, not measured. Doing these all the time house after house after house, year in year out, for decades, you get really good at it. I used to make a 45 degree jig, set it in the corner, and mark a fine wittness line on the bullnose corner where the miter needs to be, but you get to the point where it is easy to 'read the gap/miter' by eye. You just KNOW where the joint will be by eye after doing a lot of them. Anyway I really enjoyed your video. Very nice joint.Thanks.
Make a video
Bullnose I’ve been trying to find that term thank you 🙏
Glad I could help.
Thank you thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to do this. I found it very helpful.
You are welcome. Glads I could help.
Thank you so much for your video. I appreciate your time and expertise. My baseboards came out perfect. Thanks
Great glad I could help!
Good Job! I have a small trim job today. This video was a great help. Thank you!
Good, glad I could help.
Thank you very much for your video, I thought I would have to cut several little pieces for the corner but with this method is way easier! I did thirty ft. With three corners in less than an hour :)
Glad I could help!
You say we don’t see bullnose corner bead often. That’s almost all we see in south Texas in residential construction. Probably 90% bullnose and 10% square
Totally the opposite here in Kentucky. You say bullnose corner bead and they say WHAT? I saw it first on vacation in Florida. It's not hard to get here, you just don't see it very often.
thanks for the video. this is exactly what I needed to know for my bathroom.
Glad I could help!
Awesome video! This explains everything about my mysterious bullnose corners, which I had never even seen before I bought this house. Baseboard is the solution for aesthetics, no doubt. Question: My power tool instructor would have a heart attack if he saw your fingers so close to the blade of that mighty mitre saw. Can the same cuts be done farther from the blade? Same question for both flat and standing cuts.
Thanks and yes.
Nice but this way takes quite a bit of time. I work in new construction doing baseboard, shelving, and doors so we try the quickest & best looking way possible. How we do it is mark our chop saw for the corners then 22.5 one side then put it to the mark & 22.5 the other side. When cutting the pieces for the corner i use a scrap piece cut at 22 for a guide then put the guide to the corner to where it looks perfect then mark both sides of the bull nose with a pencil & cut. Usually comes out perfect but if not you can flare it out like you did with the chisel. Either that, shims, or beating the drywall lol. Hope this helps.
I am certain that the way I do this isn't the only way. This is just how I learned. Thanks for the suggestion.
Can you do a tutorial with your 22.5 marking let me know
I am not fully sure what Chris is doing differently. Chris writes, (it seems) to cut both sides at 22.5, i.e. "22.5 the other side". Then place them, if I'm inferring this correctly. Which is what Dennis is doing, with both sides placed. But instead of Dennis' 9/16 bull nose piece (with 22.5 angle cuts) to be adjusted, is Chris then starting with a 22 angle piece, then marks it with a pencil (to become the final bull nose piece) by holding it on the corner, above the placed sides? Then this 22 angle piece has a the final cut at the pencil mark with a 22.5 angle? Or, Chris refers to this 22 angle piece as a "guide", so is the final bull nose piece marked from the guide and then cut? Should one side of the final bull nose piece be 22 and the other 22.5? [And above, Gravity suggests placing the bull nose as the second piece, and then and then cutting the 2nd long piece marked to reach the bull nose, but at 25 degrees. This might be similar to what Chris is suggesting in using pencil marks; not a 9/16 bull nose to be adjusted. Folks, I just want what's fastest, but nice and even. I'll try Gravity's method, first, as best I can decipher these brief descriptions. If anyone can help explain this, great, or refer to another photo or video, even better. All in all this is great information. I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions.
This is exactly the info I needed. I'm redoing the floors and baseboards on my first floor, and have had problems with the bullnose corners. I'm getting that 'flare' at the bottom of the the small corner piece that I just couldn't figure out, but this explains it perfectly. Thank you!!
Thank you. I am glad I could help, this is why I do these videos.
I have these corners in my house. Wow. Fancy me!
They can be tough!
@@doityourselfdenniscom
That is what I am seeing. I am going to do my flooring pretty soon so I am going to salvage as much baseboard as I can. My current baseboards have this little piece that has the round cut out and fit perfectly on the round corner. Then you just connect the baseboards straight against it on both ends. It looks nice. Hopefully it made sense the way I explained it.
@@JoseMartinez-bs8oi Makes sense. They do sell a special corner that you put on when the corner is installed on the drywall that makes it possible to make the corner a 90 degree so you can 45 your trim.
They also make bullnose pieces to fit right in, they are like 6 bucks at Lowe’s.
The ones that I have seen make the corner square again. You attach them before you attach the bullnose corner.
Thanks it worked great they don't call it trim work for nothing lol!
You are welcome. Glad I could help!
Great work! What do you do to clean up the lines in the baseboard made by the corner piece? Obviously after gluing you sand a paint? Do you calk the corner piece to make it look as one?
I caulk the upper line where the top meets the wall. Sand the points a little and paint. Hope this helps.
Wonderful. I Really apprised your knowledge 👍
Thank you, glad I could help or that you liked the video.
There is a plastic tool that you can buy that fits on rounded corners and allows you to mark on wall where you need to cut your product to.
Never seen it, but thanks.
You can usually buy pre made bull is corners that match the profile of the baseboard that make things a lot more predictable
Yes, I realize that now. I didn't know that back then. I just put some in today. Thanks.
Where do u buy them
@@sandystern1618 the more common shapes are in Home Depot and Lowes. Or you go to a specialty moulding store. They are a few bucks each, made of wood, and well worth the expense. You need to buy a style that matches your baseboard. A useful tip is to use super glue with accelerator such as Starbond to blue the corner together, rather than wood glue which takes a while to cure.
@@sandystern1618 Check with a drywall supplier, not a big box store.
This is a big help thank you!
You are welcome! Glad I could help!
I’m at the mercy of whatever I buy
Thanks for helping me out!
You are welcome! Glad I could help!
Found your channel and this video. I'm searching for information and videos to know if it's possible as part of a renovation to round square wall corners on an existing build. Idea is to put more of a Southwest or Mexico-ish feel with well-rounded wall beads and curved doorways. Sort of like, cut away the existing square corner to the studs and fashion a wide bullnose edge for a well-rounded appearance. But I don't know what supports the contour I'm trying to build with the wide paper tape. Would you build up a mud contour and coverage with a wide paper tape?
Thoughts? Maybe a content idea for a future video??
I don't know where you live. I live in Kentucky and I call drywall supply houses to get my rounded corners. They are called bullnose corners. You should be able to remove the existing corner and maybe go back with the bullnose. If you can't get the corner off without destroying it, cut back to the next stud and put a fresh piece for drywall in. You can glue the bullnose on, but I always nail mine on with no glue. Also, they make a piece of trim to go with the bullnose that you can put at the bottom so that the first like 6 inches is square making it easier to put you base trim on. I hope this helps.
How about a rounded inside corner with decorative base board trim. And the base board trim is thick at the bottom and thin at the top.
That sounds like something that would have to be custom made. I am sure there is a way, but that is something I would have to be there and figure out. Sorry
Really helpful. Thanks!
Glad I could help.
Thanks for the info!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for your video
You are quite welcome.
Thanks for this!
You are welcome.
Thanks for the video
You are welcome.
should have just left the glue or used smaller gauge brads at the end of the video, you shot two more big nails and cracked the whole corner. I am sure you took it back out and made a new piece. Great tutorial. good job.
Yes, I did. I now don't nail the final piece, I just glue it. Thanks.
Do you also cut the same degree for the shoe part of the trim aka quarter round? I'm having issues with my angles
Yes, same angle.
Great video thanks for the help
You are welcome! Glad I could help.
Thank you for the video!
You are quite welcome. I hope it helps.
Thank you, Sir!
You are welcome. Glad I could help.
I have a little question, no gap for caulking?
No, if you can avoid it.
Great vid. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, glad I could help.
This is awesome. Thank you
Thank you, glad I could help.
curse my stupid bullnose corners, this is a pain in the ass. and thanks for the video
Yeah, they are kind of pain. But, I like the look!
What angle do you cut on the small piece that bridges the 2 pieces of baseboard...
22 1/2 degrees.
I'm trying to install quarter round around a bull nose wall and its a nightmare
You should be able to cut the joints at 22 1/2 degree and this should be pretty close. You will have to cut a short piece to fit in much like in this video. Start out at 22 1/2 degree and you might have to adjust one way or the other depending. Not many corners are true because of the finishing of the drywall. I hope this helps.
Do they offer different corner radiuses for outside corner bead for drywall or is it all one size corner radius?
I only know of the one radius. Although it being made of plastic, you might be able to bend it either a little less or more. Hope this helps.
@@doityourselfdenniscom Gotcha thanks for your help!
@@morokeiboethia6749 No problem!
Did you say you took off 5/16? Did you mean you should have added 1/4 in stead of adding 5/16?
Did you cut the long pieces or did you cut another small one?
It has been a while since I did this video. I believe that I cut the short side of the trim a 5/16. Not sure what you are asking about the long or small pieces.
Do you recommend this process for an inside rounded corner? My house has 135 degrees on either side of the 45 degree fireplace wall, what do you recommend? The original owner had a really ugly coped joint with caulking 1 inch thick...
Yes, I would try basically the same thing. But, I would start with the inside piece and run each side into it. Not sure what the angle would be. Although if I am thinking about this right, the sides should be about a 45 degree once you have the inside piece in. Hard saying without being there. Try cutting a scrap piece and see how it works out.
Q
My entire neighborhood is bullnose around the walls downstairs and several walls upstairs. The only thing I find frustrating is all of these videos use a miter saw and I have a table saw.
Buy a used miter saw. It would probably be quicker in the long run. You could also use the miter saw for future projects.
Well, you should buy a miter saw...
Thank you very much
Beats trying to find the rounded corners for whatever baseboard you choose.
Big thumbs up and a sub from me buddy!
You are welcome. Glad I could help.
what was the degree cut for the small piece?
Same as the other 22 1/2 degree. Hope this helps.
What about an inside round corner?
I have never done an inside corner. But I am sure that there is a way. Coping it would probably be the best.
good quality work
Thank you.
does anyone caulk between where the baseboard meets the floor?
Not usually. I have never done it.
can you still make the same cuts if your boards are laid flat? I have a 10'' miter saw so standing the boards vertically is not really an option
It would depend if your miter saw will tilt. How tall is your trim?
@@doityourselfdenniscom it's a 3.5" trim
@@tomashernandez5343 I would think a 10 inch saw would cut it standing up, but if not if your saw tilts too, then it should cut it. Probably a little more work.
I would of ran a straight edge against the wall to mark the moulding, than cut to a perfect size. Than apply CA glue to both joint, than nail that baby in.
So basically it's trial and error just like the rest of us do it.
Yeah pretty much. I tried to give a good starting point and some advice to help along the way.
Doesn't it matter how thick the baseboard is to know the outside length?
Yes, it will vary. Most trim is about the same size thickness. But, some will vary. I am trying get the basics. A good starting point.
Could do it a bit slower for the new kids on the block 🤔
I will keep that in mind next time. Thanks.
All those tools on that nice hardwood floors and nothing put down to protect the floors
Well he kinda has it but not the best way make a jig so all the corners are the same.
So bashing it with a hammer to make it fit isnt recommend.
No.
So should I knock the hairs off? Lol
If you are talking about the burrs from cutting, yes.
It's too long because you cut it too long to begin with, but I would rather cut it too long and have to trim it off, than to cut it too short and waste a piece.
How can u work with a hot chick with u at all times😊
It is great. She has been helping for 30 some years. I count my blessings every day.
Measure twice, cut once Mr. Jack of all trades, master of none. TIME IS MONEY to the client. Smh
And I'm guessing you are a master carpenter. Or just a clown who likes to troll. As a homeowner I'd rather them take the time to make things look good. Plus that's a bull nose corner incase you didn't pay attention in class it's harder to measure on curves. Go 🤡somewhere else
Show how you cut it
I cut it with a miter saw. Is this what you are asking?
