I allowed 1” back from the edge and removed 13/16 for my material to slide in. Appreciate the comment! If you decide to do it I would go ahead and put the metal up and just hold it back from the window frame and then add the trim detail afterwards. Can be a little difficult to get metal behind in some places. We live and learn and that was a test run.
That looks awesome! Wish I would of seen this video a couple of years ago when I did my garage. As a machinist with OCD, you never know I could see myself redoing around the windows. Keep up the good work.

I installed vinyl siding on my sunroom without using J-Channel around the doors or under the soffit. I trimmed out the doors using PVC boards similar to your installation, and covered the top run of vinyl near the soffit with PVC trim as well. It’s a cleaner, and higher-end look.
I have a 48 X 36 that I've finally attached all the interior metal to, and now I'm fretting over trimming out my windows and doors with crappy J-channel. Thanks for posting this because the idea of "picture-framing" has crossed my mind and I was wondering how it would look. After seeing this, the frames you made are definitely more appealing and more durable imho.
Now Terry why did you have to remind me about having to paint again😀 That is definitely a benefit to metal but hopefully it won’t see a lot of wear and tear and will hold up for a while. Appreciate you watching and the comment!
Thank you! I have been looking for a method to trim my window and doors to replace the ugly aluminum with J-trim that was installed with exterior vinyl siding. Could not figure out how to make it work. This approach (with modification to weather-proof the exterior) will provide an excellent finished look. Well, it looks great in my mind. Hopefully the final product looks as good as the picture in my head. 😀
I think it will look better than J trim for sure, I am currently building a house and will be using metal board and batten siding and I am going to use the same method to trim my windows and doors out as well. You are correct a couple extra steps will have to be taken to waterproof, but I think it is feasible, good luck with it and thanks for the comment
Well Sean, I can’t take credit for that one, my heat and air suggested it. It gives you a flat wall and screws are recessed so they don’t get in the way. I’m pleased with it. Appreciate hearing from you as always!
I wanted the flat side for my finished side so I had them run it through their die opposite of what they normally would so I have the finished side on what would normally be the backside. Hope that makes sense
I'm doing a new house construction for myself and I'd like to do metal. How would you do all the exterior trim out of wood if you were doing it? Would you do the same thing and saw out a channel in the wood for all the trim like the corner trim and the base trim?
How soon will you be at that step? I am building a house now and will be using wood for my trim and metal board and batten siding. I am thinking / contemplating two different ways to install. I wouldn't recommend doing it exactly as I did on the interior windows because you would get water into the rabbet you cut for siding to slide into. Hard to explain in a comment, if you have some time before you will be installing I should have a video coming out talking about the way I am going to do it.
Thank You, I am in the process of building a house and will use on the exterior, I am going to use poplar and paint all sides. It will mean more work in the future but it really dresses the windows up. Appreciate the comment!
Thank You, it trims them out pretty nice. One thing I would do different is I would add the trim after your metal is up because with the wood trim you don’t have the flexibility as you do with j-trim getting your metal in. Cut your trim and then mark a line around the entire window where your metal will hit the trim then you can run your metal just shy of the line and then your trim will lay right in there. Make the metal hanging easier! Appreciate the comment and good luck with it!
I had a company build the shell of this building so they used j-trim on the outside. I built a house next door and I will be trimming around my windows with poplar on the exterior. I have metal board and batten siding. I attached a short where I trimmed one of the windows. I put a lot of thought into sealing from the outside. I will be installing all my trim this coming week and will make a video. Window Trim #buildingahome #buildingtips #shorts ruclips.net/user/shortsZ3dI6Xhc1k0?feature=share
Jordan, so you don’t think they will hire me as the high school shop teacher 😀. I agree with you, have to be careful with them paying attention to which direction you are pushing and be mindful of what you are cutting!
@@jlr3636 😀I don’t disagree, I was new to the RUclips thing back then and I will be honest it is hard for me to watch some of them back. I am probably not much better now but hopefully a little

Absolutely love this! Planning on doing this to the outside windows and doors on our metal house. Thank you sir! ❤
👍🏻it dresses them up for sure! Thank You
Perfect, looks great. How deep into the wood stock did you cut for the metal to slide in, in both dimensions?

I’ve been looking for this for a long time. Thanks for posting. Two fabulous ideas that I am going to incorporate
Thanks Steve, I think you will be pleased with the look

I would say that looks good, a little bit of trim goes a long way! My opinion, it is a great return for your investment! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the tip on using the Great Stuff for Windows around windows. Going to be doing that real soon.
👍glad it helped

Most people hate to paint after 5;6;7 Years.If you like to paint that’s a great way to trim them .Looks awesome..

Never thought of hanging the metal in reverse, looks neat. You’re just full of great ideas.
Well Sean, I can’t take credit for that one, my heat and air suggested it. It gives you a flat wall and screws are recessed so they don’t get in the way. I’m pleased with it. Appreciate hearing from you as always!
Man that’s a great idea and looks great!
Thank You
Just curious, why did you run your metal backwards? There's no actual paint on the back is there? I do like the reverse metal profile better.
I wanted the flat side for my finished side so I had them run it through their die opposite of what they normally would so I have the finished side on what would normally be the backside. Hope that makes sense
Use push sticks!! That was scary!!
👍🏻
Push sticks are for Pusshys

I don’t know about the rest of you all but I sure wish he had a few more boards to rip in the video. That was exciting and educational
😀👍🏻
looks great, i was thinking of doing the same with pressure treated wood on the outside of my barn
Thank You, I am in the process of building a house and will use on the exterior, I am going to use poplar and paint all sides. It will mean more work in the future but it really dresses the windows up. Appreciate the comment!
I’m planning on doing the same! How did yours turn out?
Pressure treat is for ground contact
Very nice! I like it. A classy look.
Thank you
That notch is called a “rabbet." Great video!
Thank You, if you listen to me very long I am likely to call it a one sided trough the next time 😀. Thanks for the comment
@@goodlucktrying21 LoL thingamajig or a whatchamacallit

I think it’s a great idea! I am going to try it in my garage.

Thank you and you’re welcome
What material did you use for the boxes?
The trim was standard framing material, inside the window frame was primed pine 3/4” boards
Great Job !!!!!
Thank You
Can you show the outside and how you sealed it
I had a company build the shell of this building so they used j-trim on the outside. I built a house next door and I will be trimming around my windows with poplar on the exterior. I have metal board and batten siding. I attached a short where I trimmed one of the windows. I put a lot of thought into sealing from the outside.

Geez u get some close to that table saw with your fingers

Way too much time watching a table saw, after the first cut we got the idea, thank goodness for fast forward.
