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!!
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.
@@allip2modsaresimpingdiscor284 I know some seriously incredible craftsman, I would consider myself bordering on expert. Feel free to come over and show us how it's done.
It looks amazing until the last shot where you see one of the vertical pieces is not squared to the wall... If I were to do this myself I would make sure all the vertical pieces are leveled before adding any angles
@@dimr1088 As a retired and very bored deputy sheriff for almost 30 years, I went back to school and became a photographer. The lighting and angle were way off. Also it was ascending, notoriously hard to photograph! I wouldn't have done the camera work the way she did. It's already a difficult composition. I'm not saying she didn't make mistakes. But the lines are consistant.
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
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
Umm… why isn’t the right side vertical piece of trim in the first box parallel with the left side piece of trim in the second box…. All that work for such an eye catching mistake!
Who’s cares She’d did. Awesome job. Anybody that sits there and stares and notices .that’s not a place in her particular house in a stairwell. Needs to get a life. Kudos to her she did awesome
You are so inspiring! I watch your videos and they make me feel confident as a woman. I hope to have even just a hint of your talent someday! Thank you for the great content!
So interesting how top bars are back in fashion now, my mum got rid of all the ones in our house like 10 years ago saying it was so old fashioned! That was a fast cycle!
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!

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 😂
It is beautiful. Well done with those angles!
Thanks so much!!!
Exactly 😘👍🏻
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
Nice job. Use a string or chalk line to get your initial lines. They will look perfect.

Thanks so much!
That paint colour is so beautiful!
As a professional carpenter, I know 30 year carpenters who couldn’t do that. Nice job👍🏻
I’m assuming your American then
@@allip2modsaresimpingdiscor284 hahaha this has me dying 😂 as a British carpenter that dose oak panelling it dose my heading seeing this crap

Doesn't your arm hurt from patting yourself on the back to much? Oh yeah, it's called a camera angle/lighting issue!
@@marshamoore8385 nah mate, if it was then the price beside it would be parallel to it. They have screwed up somewhere.

Wow I’m super impressed with the computer dimensions. Ya lost me and I even have a college degree. Not in math obliviously! Lol. It looks great !!!
It looks good but you should have removed the railing and added the paneling to that side also and then attach the railing back on.
Agreed. Or completely removed the rail, not sure it's necessary
@@FateOfTheElephant you have to have railing per residential code unfortunately
@@billgoldberg5459 Wow, thank you! I was not aware.
I’m waiting for my new railing to arrive and then I’ll do the paneling!
Umm… why isn’t the right side vertical piece of trim in the first box parallel with the left side piece of trim in the second box…. All that work for such an eye catching mistake!
The first thing i noticed lol
Was looking for this comment i thought I was seeing things
I was wondering this too. It’s a bit of an eyesore.

@@Orange_Quarter Thank you! As a photographer I was trying to tell tem that. Some people woild rather criticize!

It makes the space look so expensive. Beautiful
Thank you!!
Beautiful you go girl!
Thank you!!!
It's amazing... Girl. I love it.
Thank you!!!
Great job ! Luv it!
Great job! Looks beautiful!
You would have lost me at the point of calculating the angles 😂😂😂
Ikr...kmsl....she lost me then
you don’t even need to you can do the same thing by making parallel lines up the staircase.
Great job!! Love it!!
It looks soo good!
I love it! Nice work!!
It looks stunning!!!
