PRO TIP for anyone doing this: ensure you keep your wood INSIDE so that climatizes to the temperature of your home. Make cuts quickly and bring inside when done. If it’s cold or hot out then you will have expanding and contracting and will mess the whole thing up when the wood expands or contracts in the warmth/cold of the house or and then the cuts will be completely off. Sounds dumb but it’ll save you a lot of headache. Especially if you’re doing this in the winter
If you glue your joints they won't open back up. Even if the wood shrinks a touch from the different humidity levels from where it was stored to your home. You even have to acclimate even in summer because of the humidity levels not the cold. If they have air conditioning the wood dries out in the ac. When the wood dries it shrinks when it takes on humidity it expands.
In the summer in a humid location wood swells, In the winter it shrinks, Almost all materials should be acclimated to the job sites humidity, When installing doors in the winter Dry air location make sure you have at least a 1/8 inch gap at door & jamb (reveal). As doors will swell in the summer & wont shut with out rubbing on door jamb.Some may not shut at all.This is a common mistake I find with doors installed wrong or not the best way.
genuine question: if the wood was all kept and cut outside, wouldn’t each piece shrink evenly and the cuts would still line up? like shrinking wood wouldn’t change the angles right?
@@dunderheadgood You would want to install the wood when the humidity levels are very low in the wood has shrunk not swollen. If you install it when it’s swollen yes it will shrink and joints will open up if you do it the opposite when everything is dry you will not have a gap issue. Because the wood will swell not making a gap it will actually make the word want to buckle but typically it’s not enough movement for it to make it buckle
@@dunderheadgood I would recommend when the humidity is low you can use air conditioning in your home to lower the humidity also. When the humidity is high is a bad time to install wood. If you install interior doors in the winter. Make sure you have a decent 1/8th inch gap at your reveal. Because in the summer they will swell and your doors will stick if you do not
I've just come across your videos. I'm an interior carpenter and have been for 30 years. You should be very proud of the projects you have taken on. Especially the trim going up your staircase above the skirt boards. The majority of the cuts in any given space on any given trim i.e. baseboard door and window casing, window stools crown molding ect. Are 45degree or 22.5 sure some of those need to be tweaked to get the joint to close. But the angles and cuts you have accomplished are some of the hardest to do right. Depending on codes in your area a staircases angle is anywhere between 37 and 41 degrees depending on rise and run of the staircase. You figured it out on your own. Very impressive. I've had guys that worked for me for quite awhile before they could do that. I really wish I could find employees with your confidence and willingness to fail to learn. Also your intellect to find a source on the computer to help you achieve your desired goal. The last house I trimmed out I had to picture frame the entire staircase walls on both sides and followed down into the room the staircase was in around that room also with double member chair rail 19 frames in all and this particular builder I do these for I do them in all his new homes. I charge him $1300 for that particular part of the job. So you should be very happy with your work. I can tell you really enjoyed doing it yourself and again great job and keep up the good work. Usually when we put chair rail and picture frames in a room that room also has two piece crown molding at the ceiling. So maybe that should be your next project. Two piece crown is nothing more than the same baseboard that's in the room is also run around the top of the walls just turned upside down then 3 1/4 colonial crown on top of that. With your eagerness and confidence I know you can do it. I love to see your pride in your smile when your done. It reminds me of how I felt so long ago when I did something myself for the first time.....before I got so jaded😄😄
Omg thank you!! I had a hard time getting 60* angles cut on my mitre saw. I had to make a jig out of wood for cuts over 45*. So you recommend any other hacks or tricks to get awkward cuts on a mitre saw?
what website did you use for the calculator please?? the tradesman I hired clearly is struggling with the corners! i get stressed looking at him taking the job to long to finish!!
Fabulous work....how did you work out the angles? Could you give me any details? And what did you cut the trim with ? Im a newbie incase your wondering.
It looks AMAZING! Shayna, you are a WONDERMINT!!! Do you even know how much this does for all of us out here wanting to do projects in our homes? This is SO ENCOURAGING! THANK YOU for your videos! Beautiful job! I'd love to see your whole house room to room, before and after. Just GORGEOUS! Guess I need to check out your website.
Watching you do all of these beautiful flips and all these beautiful touches to your house is making me extremely excited to purchase my own home and to do the same the house I’m living in right now as a rental and they always have so much potential in this house and it really sucks that I can’t keep it and make it look better due to being scared that my landlord may get upset with me I cannot wait to buy a house
If you're learning, it helps to understand the math. To use those numbers and take them to the saw is something else. It's not straight forward as the common man would assume. She did it, good for her.
Thank you!! Trying to figure out angles for old stairs that are uneven is hard enough, and then cutting over 45* on a mitre saw was difficult as my makeshift wooden jig slipped but I gave it my best shot and super proud for my first time doing this.
That looks absolutely amazing I don't know how you did it but you did it you've been very proud of yourself to do that for your home you must be very happy in your home congratulations

As a contractor for 25 years you did a good job. I would hire you.
Definitely added accent to the staircase. I love it, and the color too… one of my fave hehe
Thank you so much!!!
@@theflippedpiece ❤️
but but but the other side you forgot the other side
My house is one story but if we ever buy another house with a second story- absolutely yes ❤
As a contractor and a woodworker...you did damn good for a homeowner.! Hell ..I'm proud for you!
Omg thank you!! I had a hard time getting 60* angles cut on my mitre saw. I had to make a jig out of wood for cuts over 45*. So you recommend any other hacks or tricks to get awkward cuts on a mitre saw?
Sure do .. RUclips!
@@theflippedpiece Cut your pieces upside down at 30 degrees, when you flip them over they'll be at 60 degrees 😁
Oh yeah and flip them right to left too or the angles will be backwards 😂
what website did you use for the calculator please?? the tradesman I hired clearly is struggling with the corners! i get stressed looking at him taking the job to long to finish!!
Please share the website if you find it :) I’m looking to take on part of my project myself
I get he don't know how to do. Just a pencil and Paper can easy to calculate
It is beautiful. Well done with those angles!
