      Sorry, not a fan of your method. Wayyy too complicated and creates 'make work'. I've been doing trim work for 50+ years. While using a miter saw is the preferred tool to use... normally, a 30º clip at the end. Another method is to round the end, using a disc sander or, if you don't have one, use a wood file/rasp and orbital or quarter sheet sander. I've done MANY jobs where the client liked a rounded end of the shoe. Technically... you use base 'shoe', NOT quarter round in this application.

    All the people saying shoe moulding is better... in my case it is not.
    My home is a 1980s townhouse and the entire home has quarter round on the baseboards. I needed to replace some baseboards after a water damage incident, and in order to match the style of the rest of the house, I used quarter round to finish the job. So yes, maybe shoe moulding looks better, but it's not the only option and in my case not the most appropriate option-- for continuity's sake. Anyway, thank you for this video, it helped me greatly.

    Having been a remodeler since the early '70s..here's how I would have handled this one.
    On the right side: continue the quarter round beyond the vertical trim by undercutting the back side to ride over the trim. Go past by the amount of the thickness of the q.r. plus another quarter inch. Then use the tool to create the return. Since the q.r. is thicker than the trim it cant just die into it.
    On the left side: don't stop short of the adjacent stair trim and leave the gap. Since the q.r. thickness looks to match the thickness of the stair trim, continue on to the stair trim a sufficient amount to get one nail into it and then enough to round it off with the pliers cut.
    Btw..thats a handy tool. I made hundreds of miter cuts doing a circular stairway raised panel effect all with an upscale- but hand operated- miter box. Ugh!

    Ok, this should have the caveat of “for paint grade only”. In my opinion a back cut of 30 degrees looks better than that mashed miter. Not to sound snobby, proper application is base shoe, it’s 7/16x9/16 similar look but doesn’t stick out as far as quarter round. Pvc base shoe would probably cut way cleaner with your hand shears, but honestly, in the trade we only use those on chamfer strip.

    @csimet 11 месяцев назад +3

    If you absolutely have to install quarter-round or shoe-mold, then these are some great tips.
    Me... I hate the look of quarter-round myself and rather live with minor gap between the base and floor, as long as its not more than 1/16-1/8" max. If it is, I then scribe and sand the bottom edge of the base to fit or use some caulk to fill the gap (assuming you have painted base). A no-quarter-round look just looks more modern, if that is the style you are after.

    DUDE......OMG....
    it's called a return and those plier type cutters are best used on plastic trailer moulding or for weighing down the bottom of your trash can. In 46yrs as a carpenter, I can say I have seen worse but not sure when, and it is quarter round a moulding with a whole different application, shoe moulding goes at the base of the base, it comes in several profiles, rounded and colonial are the two most common. quarter round is generally used to line "panels" to return the thicker outer frame to the thinner inner panel. People are already buying tools for diy, dont add to the mayhem. bet you would'nt remove your own gallbladder.

    It's WAY easier to use a sander to quickly finish sand your edge to shape then cut and glue that sloppy mess! Also, use REAL wood, not that junk crap.

      Thanks for sharing Joe! I think shoe looks great as well. A lot of older houses already have quarter round in place (like mine), so it's tough to replace it all at once to keep it uniform throughout.

    • @brentufkes6846
      @brentufkes6846 11 месяцев назад +3

      So instead of looking unprofessional using quarter round, you use the kind of trim that looks the closest to it? It’s an aesthetic preference. Poor quality installation or not installing what the customer asked for is unprofessional. Insulting other peoples work for no reason is unprofessional. Send us a link to your shoe install so we can evaluate how professional it is.

    • @ReluctantDIYers

      Thanks for your feedback! The purpose of this video was two-fold. First, show a nicer way to finish and install quarter round. Second, show a tool (that I was not paid to show) that can help you accomplish this at a fraction of the cost of a $400-$700 miter saw. Beginners do not have big expensive tools so this is why I showcased this process and tool. That’s my underlying mission behind all of my videos.
      Have a great day! 👍🏼

      I think I mentioned that a saw is preferred (it’s been a while so I might be wrong) but for many beginners, miter shears are perfect when you don’t have the money for the saw or when your project is small. 👍🏼👍🏼

    NO ,,,its all personal preference ,,I think it looks worse in almost every application, IMO,,especially if the casing is thicker than the base ,which you didn't show for obvious reasons ,,also just back cut back 30% not 45%,,nothing more irritating then someone pushing their preference as if its the only way over another ,,

    Why do inexperienced persons who apparently never spent a day in the trades make these videos? Shoe goes on the bottom of baseboard, not quarter round. If you didn’t know that, maybe you shouldn’t be teaching. And for goodness sake, it’s called a mitered return.

      Oh, that’s right…you’re part of the “everybody gets a trophy” generation who apparently seek praise even when spreading bad information to people who don’t know any better. If you go to the store and ask for quarter-round, you get quarter-round. Quarter-round isn’t for baseboards: shoe is for baseboards. And the thin side sits on the floor. You’re welcome.
