He's amazing. Such a perfectionist as well.
First time watching one of your videos and I absolutely love how calmly and plainly you describe everything. Beautiful work!
You're very thorough in the information and details you present in these videos. Thank you for passing along your knowledge!
I love your tutorials! Wish I could attach pictures as I just put chair rails and picture boxes in my hallway and it looks amazing! I've never built a thing in my life and your videos were spot on! Thank you so much!!!
Excellent I can do this myself thanks man and thank you for keeping it simple, I'm glad you graduated from public school; it help you to become a great teacher.
Best trim carpenter on the tube
vnkable Yes, he is, isn’t he?
DUDE!! I can't tell you how much time and trouble this video has saved me! I watched other DIY wainscoting vids and they're all building the squares off-wall, using tons of adhesive and crap!! Yikes! With a simple spacer block and brad nailer: bam! bam! done!
Thanks for this!
Awesome video. I believe moldings, crown, wainscotting and chair rail add so much to the elegance of the house. I've had alot of things done to the houses that I have owned over the years. Now that I am retired, I'm doing them myself. Some 10 years ago I was having some finished carpentry done and I asked the carpenter to put raised chair rail panels in my dining room.
I was astonished that he "built" the panels just like you did. Amazing. Again, great video.
PS: I can't do math in my head I went to public school. Great!
Dude, you are awesome, I've watched other videos of yours and you are definitely an A+ mechanic. Thanks for teaching us how to measure for these panels, I've always struggled with things like that, but you made it so easy to understand. I'm only a do-it-yourselfer, but I do get the job done nicely, not as good as you though, nor will I ever be lol. God Bless you and your business.
THE WAY YOU TEACH IS COMPLETELY HYPNOTIC.
CONGRATULATIONS FROM ARGENTINA!!!
I love all your videos especially your methods of showing how they done! Keep up the great works.
My husband and I decided to do work around the house ourselves and this was one of the things I wanted to add to my walls. You taught a great class thank you
Well I just wanna say from one public school kid to another. Thank you for making your videos simple and easy and not trying to make it seem so complicated. I did this in my dining room and it looks bad ass
Agreed. Other videos had me thinking i needed a laser level and tripod and somehow made it seem a little overwhelming. This shows just how straightforward it is. Wish he’d show how he notches/finishes chair rail if it is thicker than the door or window casing. I know how it’s done, but I’d like to get his process
I love how you explain and illustrate. Very good teacher. Thank you, please keep sharing your knowledge, some of us truly appreciate it
Hey Rich , know this is one of your older vids . Just required in my timeline for our home renos. I've learnt a lot from you bro and really appreciate it. All the comments about your attitude are right. So big thanks from up north Canada and south Trinidad and Tobago. Blessings on you , the fam and crew.
Just did my dining room. Turned out great! Thank you for teaching me!
How did u get the blocks
@@lifeevent88 Make them with a mitre saw and a square :)
It really is nice to do this it makes the house look so much richer and character.
You really have a way of explaining/teaching something that was so intimidating to me for a long time!! Now I feel like I can do it!! Thanks to you👍
You’re Awesome👌
This video was the perfect teaching tool I needed. Was able to use your techniques and do our dinning room, family room and hall. It turned out amazing. Thanks very much for posting such a great video.
I did it with my whole house makes it so much more expensive looking when you buy a home you have to spend at least half a million dollars or more for a house to have anything more than a plant shelf on your window.
Those little wood squares are brilliant. Something so simple, but SO helpful
You are my Carpentry hero Richard! My skill set has improved immensely because of you.
excellent work! i have been in producing this decorative mouldings for more than 10 years, but i really do not know how and where to use them. from this video, i knew this. appreciate !
One of the best videos walking through the steps and truly explaining how to do it for us complete beginners!!! Thank you!
you can explain things with the least words, most clarity. you are amazing.
I'm seriously addicted to this channel!!! I love watching these videos. CON: I'm going to end up putting new moulding in my entire 🏠!
“I went to public school... shut up!” That was priceless 😂
Love it!! I"m saving this video for when we get our new house. Thank goodness my very intelligent (public school with homeschooling for middle school years lol) sons are great at math!! I'll be making them do all the measuring! ;) Thanks!!
I have seen so many other videos for chair rail but you explained it so well and easy, love it, thank you
Your tips for measuring and figuring box sizes were spot on. 🤙🏻 my pops and I have been rocking them out in my house project.
This was the best video I've seen on wainscoting. Thx for sharing your knowledge.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 my future home will probably be basic. When I’m done with these DIY it won’t be basic anymore!! lol
Great video 😍😍
Excellent!! Thank you! 🙌🏼 This is my seventh video that I watch trying to find the most practical and logical way to do it. This one is just perfect! Immediately subscribed 👌🏽
Thank you for this video! You did a great job teaching me how to do something I have wanted to do for years. I wish you much success and I am thankful for your help!
Wow! I just saw this on Pinterest. You explained that perfectly! Awesome job!😊
Thanks for sharing your expertise. Great video!
Thanks I’m trying to work on rooms of my first home! My dad was carpenter he passed and now that I’m grown i have a house and realized how much mental and physical effort goes into working with wood keep up the good work.
Such a great and clear explanation! That 4" block is brilliant!
The work is beautiful. I love this look. I want it for my home
Just found this channel and love your work bro! Great detail and explanation. Hope to be doing some of this work myself on my home.
thank you!

Thank you for showing the "simple " math this really helped 👏 I appreciate you . Looking forward to starting my project.
this was was clear cut and easy to follow. I like how in depth you are about finding the measurements :)
NICE!!! Thank you sir for demystifying this project. I LOVE the 4inch block technique. Thanks to your very clear and helpful video, I'm going to install this chair rail and trim in my guest bathroom next week.
love your work mate - i don't care how you do the math, so long as the final product is accurate and looks great, and yours does!
Thanks for posting this great video. Honestly, one of the most common-sense approaches to doing this work that I've seen. Thanks, again. Subscribed! :)
You make it so easy!! Thanks for showing exactly how to get professional results.
Great Work! Love watching your videos! If you need to snap a line over carpet, a trick we use is having a chalkline filled with baby powder instead of the coloured chalk. Leaves the carpet stain free and smelling great!
Stylzz wow thanks for that tip. never thought of baby powder. that sounds great
That's super smart, actually.... Non staining chalk line.. hell yeah
CAUTION! baby powder is carcinogen! Stay away if you can!
MrBababuwi lol sure buddy ... maybe if you sniff a line of it... did you learn that the hard way? 😂
MrBababuwi only if it has talc in it. Cornstarch based powders are fine
Just tried this exact technique, measurement system using true 4x4 blocks, I must say it turned out amazing. Even after 4 yrs your videos are my go to for trim work, thx a bunch man keep it up. I'm interested on Trim build up with different trims to make one focal point. Would you consider a video on building up trim?
God, it turned out beautifully... You make it look so easy!
I really didn't want to do this to my walls because I thought it was too much work but your video really simplified it for me. Wish me luck!
I completed my installation using a few of your tips you shared with me sometime ago. Thanks
awesome. glad I could help!
I love your videos and even though I've been doing contracting for 15 years I'll still watch your videos because your approach is very clean and straightforward.
I just wanted to point out to anyone reading this that even though we see chair rail installed at these heights in modern houses. It is WAY TO HIGH. With respect to classical architecture where this trim style originates, a chair rail even on a 10ft ceiling should be no higher than about 28-30 inches high. While there is no dead set rule and ultimately it's what the customer wants to see... It is supposed to follow the proper proportions of Greek Pillars in the Grecian orders. Specifically beginning with the Doric order where it originated.
The most agreed upon rule of thumb is that if a chair rail be set ideally at about 29 inches on a 10 ft ceiling, it should go up no more than 3/4 - 7/8 of an inch for every foot higher the ceiling is above 10 ft. So to have a chair rail at 40-46 inches up youd ideally need a ceiling height of more than 20 ft.
You really know your stuff brother. All I can say is WOW. Thanks for your Videos !
Bro. The Vid is the best, simplest and easiest one I can find on the youtube!!!!! Thank you
LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos!!!
thanks!

dfw crown what type and size of chair rail and Type and size of trim for the box did u use?
Damn... he broke it down so that a 6yr old cud figure it out!👍🏽💯
You are an excellent teacher. I AM a teacher, so I know what I'm talking about. Thank you for making this so clear!
The results were amazing. Love your work
Thumbs up for not wearing shoes on the carpet 😁
Great video; thank you. One thing to make your day a little easier - instead of subtracting 8 from the total distance and then subtracting one from the number of panels, multiplying by 4 and subtracting that, just add one to the number of panels and multiply x 4 and subtract.
ie, for 5 panels, instead of: 93 - 8 - (4 x 4) = 69
just do: 93 - (6 x 4) = 69
I have spent hours watching dIY channels but none was as detailed as your instructional video. I will save it and rewatch because I am now understanding how it's done.
Thank you!
You would make a great teacher! Might not be able to do the maths in your head but your instructions are so clear and explicit 👍🏽
Honestly, I would want any contractor to use a calculator rather than messing up and wasting material...good job...public schools are cool too, and I am a homeschool mom!!!
For those DIYers like myself, be cautious of any wires behind your walls. Getting measurements for framing positioning was beautiful. I would of smeared some liquid nail in back of the moulding, a very thin coat. Thanks for video
Wires behind the walls are by code required to be 1.5" behind the framing surface, I think. I take your point. Not everything you encounter in a home enhancement project is going to meet code. Better a lve chicken than a dead duck!
Nice job! I've done this myself in my prior home but didn't know about using the 4" blocks. I just did my dining room today and using the blocks is so much easier. Thank you!
Nice work brother. Very nice trick with those 4x4 blocks.
You are a true craftsman!
One extra step I've done installing chair rail is mark the studs so I know I'm nailing into studs not just drywall.
Love your work and your videos. Quick question. What size nails for the panel molding, and are you just shooting into the drywall or do you need to find studs? Thanks.
You do an excellent job of explaining what/why your doing and it's the best I have seen!!!!!
Looks so classy and what a beautiful looking house!
Question: Do you ever use a pin nailer?
Didn’t see one on your Amazon tool list.
Love the channel.
When you nail the chair rail on, do you need to nail into the studs? If not, is there a trick to keeping the nails from pulling out over time? Nailing on an angle? Great video!
Once all of the pieces have been nailed into place, it’s best to go around every frame with caulking on the inside and outside edge prior to painting. It will not only help adhere the moulding to the walls but the finished product looks much better
Great Video - My stress level just went down to almost nothing and looking forward to installing it according to your easy instructions!!
Wow no one has ever explained it better! Great job!!
Great tips in this video, thanks man!. Those 4" blocks make it much easier.
Do you ever find a need to glue these mouldings? Or are a few pins enough?
If you enjoy woodworking plans, you will love woodprix. Get inspired by all the endless possibilities of furniture plans and other wood projects to build, for both indoors and outdoors.
Best plans I've ever seen!
Just found your video....great work. You really know your stuff. You give me inspiration and confidence that "I" can do this myself. Looking forward to seeing more.👍👍
love your work, gave me a project for the winter
Great vid! What type of air gun/nailer are you using and what type of nails or brads?
ridgid brad nailer
Are you just nailing into drywall? Does this hold long term?
It's fine
This is a great video. It was very education and motivating. This video gave us the skills and confidence to install picture frame molding in our home. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Awesome video! I plan to do this with the home we are the process of buying! So excited! I’ve always wanted walls like this!
What’s the cost to a home owner to hire someone to do this?
Forgot to mention I’m a long time lurker, new sub. Loving the work you are doing! Thank you for posting!
It depends on how many hours of work is required. If you charge by the hour it can be easier to establish what it will cost.
What do you do if an electrical outlet falls where you need one of your pieces? What do you do about bigger obstacles like air vents?
I seen some homes that they box them around the outlet, but moving them so that it's symmetry is even looks better.
Always maintain your 3 inches even around vents, tge rectangles turn into trapzoids. Specific to the outlets they can be extruded out with similar thickness wood and the frame runs into it
So awesome. Glad I found this... I'm inspired to do the chair rails and picture framing DIY. This was very helpful :)
Congratulations 🎊 you did a wonderful job !! My husband and I are going to be doing this today,great video.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you !!
Love the Wainscotting series. Thanks for doing. Two questions: a). What would you do if the vertical had to come down through an AC vent? Would you just break the vertical or put a "box" of PM around the vent. B). What length of nails are you using?
Or an outlet for that matter?
Actually, one you've determined how many boxes you want, it's actually one additional space because you have to account for the spaces outside the end boxes. Four boxes=5 spaces, or 5 boxes=6 spaces and so on and so on. I find it easier to calculate that way. Also, If wall is 90" with 4" spaces between 5 boxes, simply subtract 24" (4" x 6) from 90" which should put you at 66". Then by dividing 66" by 5 you'll end up with 13.2" boxes.
but he already subtracted 4 from one side and 4 from the end so his reference point s start and end at the boxes so 5 boxes.. in between them will have 4 spaces.. ur way is correct as well but both methods work well
awesome! that outlet concerned me when you were doing the measurements and I'm glad to see you didn't have to modify measurements for it! nice job!
That looks beautiful! Thank you for posting this!
How do you adjust if the chair rail or base molding is not level?
I know this is an old question, but it comes us a lot. Keep in mind that plumb and level are often relative to the surroundings. In the case of decorative and trim molding, it almost always looks better to have uniform spacing between different moldings and the objects they are trimming than to have the moldings be perfectly level, plumb... or even square.
We all know there isn't a perfectly square, level, or plumb wall in any house and if there is, it's an anomaly.
In older houses, you run across a lot of sagging floors and ceilings. If you would run the chair rail on a perfectly level plane across a wall, you could easily end up having a space between the chair rail and panels that was much larger in the middle of the wall than on the ends. That would look pretty bad. Making panels that get progressively larger, then smaller to accommodate would likely look bad, as well. But having uniform spacing/gaps along the entire wall usually looks much better and tricks the eyes into seeing a level plane across the wall.
The same thing with crown molding, for example. If you have a 16' room with a 1" dip in the middle, you could drop each corner a 1/2" to get a perfectly level plane and fill/caulk the gaps at the ceiling. Or you could scribe the crown and cut the top to match the drop in the ceiling to get a perfectly level plane. But in both of those cases, the tapering of the molding sticks out and accentuates the slope in the ceiling instead of minimizing it. If you were to follow the sloped ceiling over that long of a distance, my eyes aren't going to notice the slope in the ceiling because all the gaps and spaces between look uniform. In this particular case, most carpenters might choose to drop each corner maybe 1/8" or even 3/16" to cheat the slope a little, but still not draw attention to the difference in spacing from the ends to the middle.
There's obviously a limit to how far you could take this and all situations are different.
@@mikeadiddle great explanation... thanks for that....
Don't shoot your nails in the groove it's a pain in the ass for your painter to fill and finish
lol
Your videos are very inspiring to watch. I love your detailed explanation. You always cover the parts most people run into....these little tricks might seem trivial, but if you're doing it and make those little mistakes they add up in $$$$ and time quickly...I wish you lived in Cali I would hire you, but because you don't I'm doing it myself.
Thank you for doing what you do and this video. I now feel confident I can do this myself at my home.
I could change your life by sending you a metric tape measure 😂
YES!!! I hate to admit it, but metric makes EVERYTHING in wood working Stupid Simple!!!!!
🤮
Easier way to math. Take your overall, subtract 4, divide by 5, subtract by 4.
The easiest math is Overall length 93.75" - 24" = 69.75" now divide by 5 which is 13.95" for 5 boxes there are actually 6 spaces x 4" which is 24" Counting the end spaces in the equation right out of the gate simplifies the math.
Your math is spot on....and your teaching is excellent .
Thanks for the layout tips! I racked my head and did some bad math, found your video and it worked first shot!
Great video. What size finish nail do you use?
love your work, very
John Hurley probably an 18 gauge brad nail buy the look of that gun
Prob 18 gauge brad nail at 2 1/2 inches
'
John Hurley ... 18 ga 1 1/4" or so , caulk the back, pins just hold until caulk dries, you don't want a long pin, it may penetrate wiring in the wall and there goes all your profit
"went to public school" LOL. I was homeschooled. Never appreciated it enough though.
You make it look easy...sign of a true craftsman! I would of been right on that power outlet for sure. 👍
Great directions! Very clear and easy to understand and follow!
