I'm a 63 year old trim carpenter and didn't think anybody put out this nice of work anymore. You have my respect for how nice you did that, especially with the gluing and screwing everything AND using the biscuits on the header. Absolute kudos to you young man, you have my complete respect.
agreed this is very good finish carpentry, I'm on here figuring out how to fix some REALLY BAD finish carpentry that the previous owners did on my house, they didn't even make jambs they literally just covered the gaps with mylar and painted over it...
Without question! Watching this video almost compelled to throw away all of my tools and just hire someone to do my work. The problem is finding peeps like this with the kind of skills he put on display!
@@MegaFunnyman86 that is downplaying the amount of effort it takes to do this kind of work, and no... not every carpenter out there takes the time to do things this detailed work, like clamping the mitered corners to prevent them from opening in the future? I've seen plenty of carpenters simply glue and nail and walk away.
A Master at 25 years old! So good to see young craftsman that truly take pride in their work. I was worried these skills were fading in today's society. NS Builders...please build my next home. In Missouri.
I got to admit this is one of the few videos that actually intimidates me... probably because I don't do enough of this and there aren't enough quality guys like this out there
If you're a remodeling contractor, or worker, on the east coast; you'll do this job so many times, on so many doors and windows, it becomes easy...It's not Rocket Appliances! :)...

"Hello from The Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota. My fascination with all things Swiss, craftsmanship and quality led me to you guys. Your tour of the Swiss school was the best, i had no idea but somehow not surprised. Watch making translated to building makes the German approach slack. I then enjoyed your lead carpenter trim out a window on the Newton project. At what point does Tom Casey become a master? Ha ha, like Norm you know who!." Thanks for your expertise David J
This guy is a real master carpenter at a young age. Would love to see this video captured again by someone with a little more video camera experience. There were times when it was shaky or jerky and should not have been. And at times the camera angle could have been improved for an overall better-quality video, but thanks for sharing - not everyone is a professional videographer and it takes time and experience to become one. Exceptional quality work by the carpenter Tom Casey.
Why did 299 people dislike this video? I found this video to be very insightful and the man was full of knowledge. It's nice seeing the passion for work as opposed to worrying about what time it is - like some contractors. I wish he did my original windows so I wouldn't have to watch videos on how to fix the first contractor F Up. Thanks for the FREE information on a proper window installation.
Superb craftmanship and great eye of detail. I like that oversized trim was used. It makes the end result far more impressive. Thanks for putting this together.
Can’t say that I have ever seen anyone use adhesive on the backside of casing. may be a little overkill but I can appreciate it man. strive to do the best job you can possibly do. great job!!
Good work, brother. Not production work, but craftsmanship that some carpenter will admire in forty years when there's a reno. Craftsmanship take time, time is money, but craftsmanship is also beauty and satisfaction.
Super video. Finish carpentry is the top of food chain in woodworking. The time and effort required to be able to enhance the home is what helps to sell the home. Thanks for sharing. It's fantastic and it took you a long time and effort to learn. You, sir, are a true professional. Thx again.
Very well done! How a trim piece is terminated is one of those little tells that indicates a carpenter as someone you'd want to call back for more work.
I know this video is a couple years old, but wanted to thank you for it anyway. Lots of good info here. May prove to be useful for my upcoming house build! Cheers guys!
6:40 when you’re putting window boxes together instead of bending over on the floor I took two blank interior hollow doors and added hinges and flip it open on 4 saw horses and have a flat surface to build boxes if slight unlevel I use a shim on corners to level and makes it so much easier to build boxes two hallow 32” doors make almost a square and it’s on saw horses so at waist level. Save your back dude I was young once and seemed fine but it will get you when you get close to or over 40.
First thing I do on a trim job is set up 5/4 MDF on horses. It’s imperative to have a good flat work bench on a job. Great attention to detail in this window trim. When I’m doing returns on aprons or pediments I always glue and pin nail the small returns before application.
@@ILikeCatsMoreThanILikeYou 5/4 MDF is pretty strong. If I use 3/4 I’ll toss a few studs down first. My biggest issue with making a bench on the job is everyone puts something on it. A flat surface always becomes cluttered. 🤷♂️
Keeping craft alive. I see so much shoddy work out there, it makes me glad to see good finish carpentry. (Never thought of a caribeaner for the spring clamps, great idea)
Honey, you are a thing of beauty!!! Oh not just talking about the gorgeous tattoos, watching to get an idea of how it's done, no way could come close, already have the drapes that will cover my crappy attempt, my biggest problem is the terms, all in all, a great video. Thanks for taking the time.
exceptional talent and attention to detail! NS builders make sure you pay this man I have come across so many that claim to be craftsmen but couldn't shine his shoes. I would love to see how he would handle trimming a window where the walls aren't straight and the jamb extensions need to be scribed
Do young adults really need to go to 4 year colleges and spend $300,000 for a degree in who knows what? They need to train with this guy and get a trade and learn this fine craftsmanship! Beautiful work!
WTF? This guy is amazing. I love that there are still craftsmen like him in the world. I had zero idea what he was saying but that is the point (in my mind).....LOL ... great video
To everyone saying there’s very few craftsmen like this left, that’s because there are very few people willing to pay 5 times more than the standard rate.
All the windows in our home are "trimmed" by simply wrapping the drywall and textured paint around the corner and up to the sash. It makes the house feel like it was built with Lego. I can't wait to start putting on real trim like this and give the house the style it deserves.
Absolutely amazing workmanship! Wonderful attention to details. Plenty of tips and tricks of which I would never have thought. This fellow is a true craftsman!
can you comment on the use of wood glue vs CA glue on the mitre returns? I've typically used CA, and would be interested to know why your guy prefers wood glue. thanks, this was very helpful and informative.
Beautiful finish great work, people really believe he forgot the middle part of the window, if is obvious to a regular person, the carpenter guy is definitely placing the piece of wood there, because is not showing in the video it doesn't mean it wasn't finish correctly guys, he probably spray paint everything when he was done, people always assuming 🤧 he used a brush when u could paper and tape the windows and walls when applying spray paint
I have seen many finish / trim carpenters on the job site as I am a self employed finish carpenter. I noticed you used the festool domino here i just used 15 gauge finish nails and glue the tack it to the wall. I call it a window sill you call it a stoop must be the cola, pop, soda expression depends in where you live.

How much would it generally cost to case 16 windows, and how long would it take for a good carpenter to do that many windows?

Gorgeous work!
It's not that there aren't guys who can't do that level of work these days, it's just most people accept a lower standard because of labor costs
I agree with previous comments....but it is also Contractors adding too much profit % on top of labor and materials per job.
The house could fall down but the window trims will still be standing.
Great job.
Give that man a raise and his own channel! Beautiful craftsmanship, a real joy to watch. Keep them coming. Thanks.

I don't know why or how I am here, but I could watch him build things all day
this type of craftsmanship only exists on youtube and passionate DIY'ers

Where do you find such craftsman? In every video you have people who are putting extreme care and precision in everything they do.
Wow, that's an awesome job. Do you trim out the space between the 2 windows as well?
Shocked. I'll be watching this a few times on the tv.. Gotta get some other tools as well.. Bless this dude

Sergey Pober really good storage solution. I remember my days with the bags on I’d have the clamps piled in a pocket. Far less efficient.
Oh yeah , was wondering what those were. Brilliant.
My favorite window trim video out there! What happens in the space between the two windows? Wood? Drywall? Paint?
I am soooo glad you mute the saw sounds. Those always hurt my teeth and it’s much appreciated!

holy guacamole this dude kicks ass .... what a PRO. great content dudes!
Excellent video What a professional look. I am upgrading 16 windows from my old house. You just gave me all the info I needed to do this project.
Man, that is excellent work! Titebond with screws, those joints will never split or shift and crack the paint.
Very meticulous. Great video. Trim installation very strong with the added glue, screws and biscuits. Not many carpenters go to that level of detail.
Wow wow!!! That’s freakishly awesome!!!
Thank you for sharing your technique and knowledge!!!
Wow I wish I could have you do my work.
Its so hard today to find good quality workers who take pride in their work.
Bravo and well done. Loved the video.
Nothing beats a pro at his job. 👊
Craftsmanship! I love the spring clamps he used on the mitered returns!
Ya that was super cool. Weird carpenter dentistry or something. Lol
Nice work, man. What are called those clamps you are using for gluing small peaces in the corners?
Thank you guys for sharing your craftsmanship. Keep raising the standard -C
WTF? This guy is amazing. I love that there are still craftsmen like him in the world. I had zero idea what he was saying but that is the point (in my mind).....LOL ... great video
Great craftsmanship. You just got another sub. Love the biscuits holding it tight for another 50/100 years.
Kudos 👍👍🇺🇲🇮🇪
Great work! Why not use CA glue and accelerator though?
Knowledge Upon strength

Watching these guys i have to step my game 🆙
Very nice work. A true craftsman ! Please wear those safety glasses !!
Exemplary professionalism; Tom Casey would be worth whatever he charged.
What adhesive are you using behind the trim before it's pressed to the wall? I can't see the logo in the video clip at 08:04 - please and thank you
"No More Nails' or 'Liquid Glue'.
Oh my gosh. Such beautiful finish carpentry. ❤
looks great. still waiting for that center fascia board, but it looks great.
Looks nice but did you just leave the end grain exposed on the header?
Oh my gosh that's gorgeous do another video, please be more detail on the construction aspect. I want!!! Leah said , I CAN DO IT!!!

This looks like excellent, keenly performed work and I say that from the comfort of my straw house.
Impressive work! Out of curiosity, how long did it take to trim out this particular window in real time?
About 3 hrs.
Where can you get the corner clips? Never seen those before. I glue but always nervous when putting a brad in. Thanks great work!
They're called Sping Miter Clamps. You can find them at local lumber stores or, of course, on Amazon.
Clean work. Will the finish be painted or stained and/or clear coat? Wondering what you did for finishing nail areas, too.
The mutiin board above the window could use an eased corner to finish of the edge. At time 11:23. Great job! Thanks.
What style of window trim did you use? Great work!
