Wonderful mention of proper wood filler. More and more people are feeling comfortable trying their hands at labor and repairs and the majority of proper advice rests in verbal history between tradies. Thanks for making proper instruction for "the next guy."
Cheers and thanks for checking out the vid 🍻
I think, it's not about "comfortable", rather, they learn they have to do it because nobody will do a quality job for the money they can pay.
I always learn something new from your videos. You make things look so effortless. Have to admit, the out takes at the end are my favorite!😂
@@weekendwarrior3420 You nailed it.
😮
Drydex was your recommendation in your old video "The Easiest Way to Get Perfect Miters Every Time!!!" Glad to see even the pros like you are constantly learning and improving your craft.
Such great tips. In addition to your fancy hair - I appreciate how you demo using such great props/pieces in great light. So many DIY tips are in hallways, lit with a phone and it is so hard to see. Your instructions are so clear and especially when you note where "some mistakes" are made. Thank you so much!
Short, but extremely useful info, just perfect! "Better than 99% of the miters" - so true, I've never seen a good miter in the "builder-grade" houses. The pieces aren't even in the same plane!
Builder grade good mitres are tough to find! And run of the mill painters don’t care if the mitres look terrible when they paint them!
@@TheFunnyCarpenter That's what I'm worried about in our upcoming Tiny House interior painting.
Appreciate how your videos are thorough, concise, and clear. I find them very, very, useful. Thank you!!
Excellent as always! I’ve been remodeling a house for the past couple of years and your tips and tricks have been a life saver!
I'm a newbie to all of this having just started learning this stuff during my transition from full time job to these sorts of projects. I can't wait to get corners like yours! Thanks for the info! You are helping more people than you realize.
The Zinsser BIN primer is fantastic. Did a remodel on a home with a lot of stained oak cabinets, and some painted pine beams with knots bleeding through. The BIN sealed up everything beautifully.
Man, that fancy hair is on point! Great tips for us DIYers as aways!
I've been doing this type of restoration/refresh work for years. I use carpenters wood glue first. That's the key to making these joints solid and able to take a good door slamming.
Exactly. A mitre that is NOT glued is NOT going to stay tight. Filling a mitre joint is only a temporary fix for it WILL open up with time.
Mine are over a hundred years old. They aren't glued. And there's no gaps. Although I think gluing them is a great idea.
@@msingerdesignsllc3667 Fair enough. My house is still settling and I've had to fix four of them so far.
I have also used wood glue.
Yes, the problem with wood filler is that they are just sand/glass powders. They don't expand or contract when temperature or humidity changes, while the wood swells and shrinks, that's how it would crack in dry seasons.
I'm watching from the UK. I'm looking for some tutorials for a long time to paint my old doors. Finally, I got the confidence to paint my door. Thanks a lot.
Spot on. That's how I do it, and my customers are always very pleased with the results.
Have a great day.
Great tips in a short cohesive video. I learned some of these steps the hard way. Definitely improved over time.
Thank you for putting out such useful and well-crafted videos!
Love seeing shop level quality on trim work, makes a home feel high end.
I agree!
shop level quality wouldn't have blown out miters and uneven planes...i think this is more for home owner mistake fixing
Wow I'm really glad I found your channel. This is incredibly helpful!! Thank you!
These videos are really cool. I’ve been watching a bunch of them. Thanks for making them.
Needed this video after a few crown molding miter fails. (And no I didn't cope bc I sucked at that 😂). Thanks as always. Your tip on that Elmer's wood filler made my baseboards turn out the best last year. Appreciate your vids!
Thanks for sharing! I didn't know it's best to use an oil based primer on bare wood. I'm adding that to my home depot list.
Yes! The Bin shellac primer is amazing! I was just introduced to this and was super impressed. A bit pricey, but 1 coat on bare wood and dries in minutes... totally worth it!
And definitely digging the fancy hair!
It is...its a must have for painters...
Great technique. Awesome recommendations on materials. Cool hair. Trifecta.
This is my full time job on the new build plots go from house to house repairing all kinds of damage it’s unreal some of the rash harsh finishing we come across. Good job bud 👍
Outstanding. Gonna use all of this.
Wow dude, the cinematography of this video looks great. Well done. I’ve enjoyed your channel for a long time. Cheers from a fellow Canadian
Loved the fancy hair lol. Great tips, and the outcome looked perfect. Thanks!
Love the haircut and the new setup too. Good work!
Nice "fancy hair"...Thank you for this tip...Much needed for the average Do-It-Yourself home owner!
Thanks for checking out the vid🍻
I just found your channel recently and I wanted to let you know you earned a subscription. It was short and to the point, full of information, you didn't have a long introduction and the best part is you didn't have a 2 minute, in-video, ad.
Thanks buddy
You often enough give us good food for thought and make us have better results. Thank you
Thanks for watching Randy🍻
Great information. Really enjoy your videos. Very professional. Thank you.
Now I have to come up with a project to try this out, looks great👍🏻
Perfect...as a painter,this is the Exact product and technique I use. As for the primer, advance works well. Advance is a hybrid paint (water based with oil properties). Never had a problem on raw wood with it on small areas. However, you don't want to use it too much because it's quite a bit more expensive than regular primer. I will say..Elmer's wood filler is an essential in my work bag!
Dang that actually looks really good. Nice shop too
Your videos are so helpful, they’re addicting. I started one and have linked to 3 others.
Thanks for watching Jane! It's appreciated:)
your hair is fancy
I’ve got to get back to the barber and get a little trim!
It was sanded and filled too, now you can see the results
Brylcreem sheen
When you go to the barber, get the beard shaved off too....😅
Fancier than 99% of all haircuts
I thought he had missed a bit but it was a spot on my screen 😆thank for the instruction as I frame a lot of my work and utilise old frames sometimes 😀
Why I always use caulk instead of wood filler (30 years as a painter): wood filler is not pliable while vinyl or hybrid caulking is. There is a reason why these corners look like that… they are still moving/settling. That wood filler will crack within a month while the caulk will flex and last longer.
You need to glue the joint first, that will stop any relative movement between the trim pieces, then the wood filler should work perfectly.
@@hyperion112 That obviously didn't work the first time... the wall is still moving. Use caulking.
@@Fortylat obviously the joint wasn't glued, caulking miters is for flippers and DIYers not for professionals.
@@hyperion112 Pro for 30 years. You are delusional. A DIYer is who would use wood filler on something that is actively moving. I have seen glued joints move all the time because when a 3,000 ton house moves down 1/4" the glue, surprisingly, doesn't hold. No amount of glue is going to stop the house from continuing to settle. You're obviously a hack that walks away without ever thinking about the harm you do to your work.
Walls do move, but never enough to open up a mitre. If a mitre is opening or moving, it's because it wasn't glued correctly. Wood filler is absolutely the go to for trim, not caulk, trim does not ever move enough if glued and pinned properly
This was a Fantastic information and a well done video THANK YOU for making it! Yes I’d watch more. 😊
excellent work. Thanks for the tip
This will come in handy. Many thanks!
Excellent video. Thanks
First video of yours I watched. I appreciate the info. and the fancy hair!
great information. thanks Don
Nice hair :) hanks for the run through it will come in handy when I get to that stage in my project.
Great video. Super helpful.
Wish I had that much hair...
I use Bondo. It is structurally strong and will adhere the two pieces together plus fill the gap then finish as shown in the video.
I like using bondo too. Good stuff for projects like this.👍
Useful tips. You did choose a pretty simple profile for the demonstration. Most old profiles are much harder to fill and sand. But it's fair game I'd say. Thanks.
Love the hair! Very fancy!!!
Great video. The caulking video actually helped me out a bunch recently, keep on making these.
Cheers John, that’s great to hear
The Zinsser BIN primer is the best especially if you have to cover Smoke damage. It was incredible. I have not used spray cans of it but gallons and 5 gallon buckets. But also use a good respirator if using to cover large areas or whole rooms/ ceilings. Expensive but well worth it in the long run!
Great instructional video!
Once again... AWESOME!!!
This tutorial was so helpful, however, I couldn't tear my eyes away from your fancy hair!!!
Nice, Museum interior finish quality. Time for the white glove test 😂. Nice YT channel 👍👌
Top quality advice thanks
Thanks always enjoy your videos
YOUR Hair is Definitely Fancy... I Love It !!! ♥
Love the fancy hair!
Your hair looks great!
perfect timing! thanks for posting.😀
Best wishes!
This was awesome
Great tips
As a painter “carpenters”using caulk is the bane of my life. They get all giddy with it and want to use it for everything and I have to spend far longer than it would take to fill it properly removing the caulk before I can do anything else. Caulk is just for angle joins and can’t be sanded so put it on smooth or just don’t put it on
Thank you for putting quotes around carpenters. I can assure you that as a carpenter, I would never fill a flat surface with caulk. The guys that do that are hacks that are trying to hide their horrendous cuts from everyone.
Fancy hair! And thank you very much for the video.
Dude your shop is beautiful
You’re a time and life saver!
I noticed your fancy hair! Smashed the like for the great tips before I commented…great, concise tips as per usual!
Love the fancy hair 😀
Wow thanks now I can fix on my own
You look fine, great tips and such carisma. Thank you for sharing.
Even though ALL my miters look great 100% of the time, thanks for these tips.
Always a fan of one more blow and a final wipe!!! 😂😂😂
Nice, good info 👍🏼
came here for fancy hair and was not disappointed. also the tip was useful.
Great video. Nice hair!
Great video, and sir, your hair is *very* fancy and I approve 👌
--won't mention the hair, just that you rock! Thanks for the video.
Wow. Thank you
Had to watch the video twice because the 1st time I was distracted by the fancy hair.. 🤣 Great video! Precise and concise!
🤣it’s my new watch time strategy 🤗
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Genius! 🤣
That's some fancy hair you have bro. Great tips!
Great tips! The new camera is super pro! 🤘
Thanks buddy🍻
Enjoyed your video very much. How do you fix wood joints that aren’t painted?
Great video 👍
Great video
Good info.
Great stuff, camera work was top notch 👊
Thanks Scott🍻
So fancy! Ha ha ha
Great video!
Your hair is looking slick!
For real demanding trim/base wood filler situations I prime (either oil or alcohol based) then apply filler, this improves filler adhesion . Some filler manufacturers' instructions include this advise about priming first. And yes, then I prime again.
i'm gonna have to do this. i always use mdf trim in dry areas because it doesn't move and i always paint. one time i was forced to use pine. had perfect joints until the seasons changed, lol. now i have a permanent 1/16 gap all the time. luckily i procrastinate and several seasons later the trim is still unpainted and nail holes unfilled
Ready Patch® works really well too. With the bonus that it's good for interior & exterior stuff. It's a good filler for so much.
Thats my go to, impressively crack resistant. I even repair plaster cracks with it.
@@jamesjetson3812 It's really amazing stuff, isn't it?
Great Hair!
You are smart man
Good looking hair cut
Hey Mr fancy hair!
good vid! Thank you
Hair is on point..
I'm watching what you are doing and concentrating on what you are saying. Sorry, I don't give a hoot about your hair. Great video as always. I sure LOVE watching a real CRAFTSMAN ply his specialty. THANK YOU.
Hey, thank you!
Nice hair! The wood filler is what to use to fill in baseboard joints that are starting to have small gaps? Also in my fairly new build ~ the baseboards and door trims are such a mess…😬 globs of caulking and terrible nail fills in spots. Just no care whatsoever and of course this wasn’t super noticeable at first. The sanding sponge looks like that will work great for smoothing that. Thank you
Gracias señor
