Omg I could kiss you! I have been wasting so my tiles trying to figure out how to do this 🙏🏼 I’ve been scouring YT for hours, days. Thank you! I’d rather waste paper 🥹🥹 I’m doing a herring bone pattern with a very abstract bathroom that has a lot of stupid right angle corners.
NICE! I've been re-doing the floor in my son's room now that he's moved out (vinyl tile's) and I'm nearly done but just ran into another spot where I panic. The last cut I did that was scary, I made a paper template because it was 'several' small different angle's at his closet frame opening. Took tiny snip's with my scissor's till it was exactly what I needed it to be (yippee!) but for some reason, I'm now having difficulty 'thinking it through' for this opposite side of the closet even though I know I have to do the same method? Maybe I just need to 'step away' from this project for a break and 'refresh' my brain?! :) I'm so close though! After this cut piece, I only have 2 more with regular, straight cut's! AHHHH!!!! I WILL CONQUER THIS!
Awesome! Very helpful and so much easier than other ways I've seen! I'm putting vinyl planks floors right now (by myself) in my kitchen, and this just SAVED ME in sooo many ways! 😊👍
Great example sorry for the idiot's that didn't listen that the long piece of paper was just a example. Thank you so much you saved me a lot of time and money
Great job with the scribe and Trace. How did you get the customer on board with all of the door transitions? They always make me run it with no saddles
Great teaching moment. I'm doing a hall way that makes a 45 degree turn and I can't figure what to do at the intersecting point . Any input would be appreciated.
A couple of things. You need to take more can than he did to make sure the run of paper matches the board and not off at an angle. The other is that if you cut with that saw the good surface should be down or you will chip off the laminate covering.
1st of all no you dont need to cut it face down. It doesnt chipout with a decent blade. And even if it does it not so much that the 1/4round and door casing will cover all ends. Not being rude just do this EVERY DAY. My only cocern is that there is no underlayment on the material and i didnt see any on the floor. Good luck with that
Aline Parrone Halpin He was just showing what you can do when you have to do multiple cuts throughout the house - you can use the same pre-cut piece instead of having to measure each time. I would probably just stack a few pages, crease them and use one as needed
I see that works really well. My situation is that this type of laminate uses two sided tape to join it. The paper would stick to it so bad that it will never stick. It makes a damn mess.
Sweet this is what I already do. Man I have a really hard piece and of course itz the last piece I have to put in. Basically a 1/3 size of a regular plank butted up against the wall going in to the door entry way where the end piece is going to have to be 2 triangle shapes....how the fricken Mexican tacos am I suppose to do this all in one piece 😪😪😪😪😪
John’s demonstration content was extremely helpful; however the background noise (people’s conversations) was terribly distracting. I would encourage him to shoot his video without the background chatter.
This isn't a produced tutorial, this is a guy nice enough to take some time to share some tricks on an actual job site. If background chatter is terribly distracting for you well... good luck being part of human society.
Perhaps he’s never heard of a simple and practical tool called a bevel gauge, that cost about $10 to $12 that will copy angles, which you can then scribe on your work piece.
What an absolute goon this man is ,I’ve been fitting these floors for over twenty years and I have never seen anything like this I would of had another 3 rows in by the time he had stopped fannyi g around with that paper😂 And to fit it hard up against a skirting board is a big no no
Best tip ever for someone who is a newbie!
Thank you so much
The corner for the “bad boys & girls” 😂
Awesome technique! Makes it so easy! Those angles were indeed crazy. Thanks for the tip.
This worked amazingly well, thanks John!
I showed this to my brother and he really liked this idea. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks John. Good video and we all appreciate hearing new and better ways to do things. Keep it up boss!
It's these pieces that have always taken me days to do. Thank you so much!
Thanks John! That was exactly what I needed.
Thank you, after much time looking this is exactly what I was looking for.
Very clever, man! That was a great tip. Thank you
worked perfectly! Thank you for the video and the easy method...
I just use the lid of the box of laminate it’s a perfect template already
I would think it would be harder to get a good crease?
Thanks John for sharing your knowledge. Now back to installing my vinyl flooring. 😅
Thank you John from a UK guy, so simple, but so easy, " now you showed me" ! thanks again!
Thank you so much for this simple option! I am about to lay expensive flooring by myself in our upstairs hall! $$$ Saver for real!!
Great video ! Something I needed to watch !
i never thought of using paper! thanks

Best explanation I’ve seen. Thanks
Brilliantly simple and explained perfectly
Thank you!! No fancy tools! Hiatus what I needed sir.
So much for expansion gaps. Take the baseboards off and reinstall them afterwards. Perfect cut every time.....
That was so simple, thanks!
great video John, sure will prevent a lot of wasted cutting when I start this work soon...
Thank you so much you saved me a lot of money and time
thanks John, Nice work.
Damn man, I been using the cardboard that the flooring has come in. The bend and crease method..... love it!!!

I just got some flooring I'm installing will be using this technique now thanks
A Great video, very helpful, thank you. :)
Thank you! Very helpful ..
Superb tip thanks from over in the UK

Great example sorry for the idiot's that didn't listen that the long piece of paper was just a example. Thank you so much you saved me a lot of time and money
Thanks for the help!!
Thank you!! Impressive
Good job-thank you!
Thanks now I understand how to get around this weird corner.
Nice job . What type blade are you using
thanks for inspiration!
DAMN BROTHER! THANK YOU SO DAMN MUCH. ONE THE BEST VIDEOS EVER. THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A REALLY HELPFUL FUCKING VIDEO.
Great idea
Simple genius!

Thanks!!!
Very good thanks for sharing
Thanks from a quarantined, stir crazy non diy’er who has to diy. 😷🤗 stay safe.
Thank you!!!
Wow thanks
Thanks for the vid. I’d recomend just getting a contour finder from harbor freight for 6 bucks. Happy New Year!
Thanks for the tip Joe. I just looked a contour finder up. Looks really efficient !
🙏 Thanks you ..!!!😁..!!
Very nice

240P? Dude, what did you film this with? A Fischer Price toy camera?
I really need to know how to fill in a door jam because the linoleum was measured a little too short
Get an undercut door jamb saw or an electric oscillating saw. Lay a floor piece next to the jamb to see where to cut it and have at it.
Yep what the guy said below it's super easy
very helpful thank u
john karasiewicz dude... this is ur own video...
@@creeper5774 lol
Was it necessary to tape all those pieces together? Wouldn't just the end piece have been enough?
Exactly, that is what I thought first
He already stated that tho. It was a example if u need to use the whole board
If you have several odd shaped cuts to make you can keep using the same piece.
@@gdotmoney96 lol said the same thing one piece wouldn't worked and he could've just used the bottom straight edge. I overthink things sometimes too
by far, the easiest tip for DIYers but one paper would have done it. just edit the vid and it will be perfect.

After 4 .messed up planks I'm going this route..l can trace but I can't measure.:)

I feel your pain Kyle! I'm right in the same boat and soooo close to being finished! How's it go for you??????
Why don't you leave a 5/16 space at every end like the instructions say?

Come on now, those people spent 50 bucks a packet on that floor, they can talk all they want to! :()
Real video by a real guy. Background noise keeps it real...plus John is just trying to be helpful...

I don’t have time to do all this
Well than go fuck youraelf
That’s different
where's the expansion gap
James Harvey yes, I was allowing expansion gap and then I see this. Is it really necessary?
Laminate floors will never expand unless you live in a constantly humid climate. Push those planks tight to the wall it will shrink.
@daro2096 i agree there needs to be expantion gap esecially if you dont want void the warranty wether you think you need it or not
What an absolute goon this man is ,I’ve been fitting these floors for over twenty years and I have never seen anything like this I would of had another 3 rows in by the time he had stopped fannyi g around with that paper😂
And to fit it hard up against a skirting board is a big no no
Wuah wuah wuah!!! Do you always whine like a baby??!!! Wheres your video? Otherwise, you're just a liar! Ya liar!!!
Lmao i feel yA
This is a great tip... but man, when he drops the hammer on the floor, I cringed big time.
Hey can you be quiet in the background. Yakety yak. The guy is trying to film a tutorial!
Woodprix has a lot of designs to choose from.
I did it too. This is what I used Stodoys designs for
