The cost of materials for casing both sides of this door was approximately $77.00 USD. That does not include the labor to install it, prep it, or spray it with a final coat. I would charge $550.00 to do everything- supply material, install, and finishing.
You do realize he is also making a video while working right? This isn't his normal pace I'm sure.
High speed = high margin for error
Thank you for adding material cost and your bid price. As a new contractor, that really helps. Love your channel! Amazing work!
Joe T - You're a condescending guy and a bad employee, it seems.
He's trying to teach and show people in this video. Speaking slowly, being deliberate, and repeating yourself are KEY when teaching. There's nothing in this video that could give you an idea of how fast he works when he's actually working. These videos are a separate project for him, he's even said in other videos that he only does them when he has extra time because he wouldn't be able to work at his normal pace and make videos.
My old boss would literally run from inside the house out to the saw to try to finish the jobs fast and increase profit. I saw him always stressed out and he eventually got a divorce. It is really sad. I say that to say this, speeding through jobs is never good for this type of work. You will spend just as much time fixing mistakes. I am going really slow here. This took 4 hours to shoot the video and plan all the scenes. We had approval from the homeowner to take as much time as we needed. If I was normal paced this would have taken about an hour. Nothing wrong with working fast but also nothing wrong with working slow :) and I prefer to work slowly and comfortable. I don't charge by the hour. I charge by the job so it make sense.
Shoot me, you had me going with that 2 inch nail comment 👍. Nice detailed video Richard. Really appreciate your attention to detail.
Just a note I've dedicated 39 years of my life to the construction trade as a carpenter. Cabinet maker now. Your never to old or to experienced to learn new tricks always keeping an open mind and i thought that i knew it all great job 😁
i love the tips and techniques you provide with your clear, understandable descriptions. My brad nailer bit me once, when I was installing cove moulding on the floor of a bathroom. I had changed to shorter brads, but was unaware that a single 2" plus brad remained in the chamber. That single long brad found its way through the moulding, the drywall and made a tiny hole in the pex line feeding the toilet. An expensive oops!
I love how you disclose every bit of information whether it be craft or business related, thank you so much for making these videos. I just started working for a Finish Carpentry company in Overland Park, Kansas and your videos have given me a big boost in the knowledge department.
I've been watching your videos for about a year now and this one just popped up.
Damn, the views on this one must have made your day 👍.
Congrats. Really enjoy your content.
I know you are a finish carpenter not a painter but I wanted you to paint frame before installing, so much easier to get a sharp edge.
Love you videos, thanks
You got me good. I actually said out loud "oh crap the floor". Great video as always!
Your work is precise & aesthetic looking! I would recommend placing a shelf on the crown, because, within time, that hollow crown top are will become a hard to clean dust catcher. Thank for teaching us how to work molding correctly.
Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.
Omg Dude, I binge watched all your videos. I’m not even interested in Makeup tutorials anymore lol 😂
knowledge is power!
Thank you 💪🏾.
I don’t care if you don’t agree with me but I seen almost all his videos and he’s more than a professional he’s the best in America very accurate good work man I would hire you anytime keep up the great work and make more videos for us
Very Nice work. I'm a long time carpenter and I always enjoy watching your channel. It doesn't matter how long you've done your job, you can always pick up new tricks and techniques if your willing to watch and learn. Keep up the great work
Nice work, minus that's cool never heard that one before. I have always called it heavy or light. The only thing I do different is make the frame as a unit then install same as a door jamb. That way if there is any variation in plumb and level it compinsats for it. Nice detailed video.
I use vernier calipers to measure the thickness of the wall in several places and make the casing to the biggest measurement.
You should get a Zenith Trim Puller. It's worth it's weight in gold.
Super great work, I always learn something nice from you, keep going making all these great videos
excellent vid.
Nice detailed instructional. Love the humor...2’ nail to the floor, good one.
Never seen a 2 foot nail myself...
you mean 2"
With the 1x4 and 1x6 are they just regular pine wood? If so what do you prime/paint them with so the wood grain and knots don’t show though? I always have problem with the wood grain and knots coming through eventually. Maybe I’m just not using the right paint to stop the bleed through.
I've had the same problem with knots and sap streaks. Zinsser’s BIN is a good primer to stop the brownish bleed through your paint job. You can buy it at most home improvement stores.
If you have to fix already sap stained moldings like I do, it's best to sand the paint in that area and then apply the primer.
You are adding value in so many ways, not just showing us how a professional works but also you are a great roll model for the younger generation. There is a shortage of skilled labor in the work force and is not getting better. You are an example of a young man who has built a name and reputation for himself in the trades and that you can make a very decent living doing so. Love your videos they have taught this old dude how to do it right.
Great work! If you were to come through that same room with crown, would you use the same crown as what's around the top of the door trim?
Love all your vids. I swear u would send you a mechanical pencil if i knew where. But i know your very attached to pens and carpenter's pencil
I'm a big fan, thanks for all the education! Question: how would I put a shelf top on a crown if I had a similar situation? I followed your tutorial and cased a large opening between my formal dining and formal living room that had high ceilings-- pretty good for a first timer thanks to your tips! I'm about to put the crown on top (around 11.5 ft high), but then want to cap it because you can see it from the second floor. I know i wouldn't be able to just lay some type of top board on top of crown that's just nailed in due to weight, and wondering what tips you might have? Thanks again!
May I ask about the reason for the reveals ? Can I do everything flush, no reveals ? Thanks for posting, great work and video !
What size are the plinth blocks? Did you make them from 5/4 material? They look like maybe 6" tall.
I came here to ask about those as well!
Rich, thank you for doing this video. I have exactly the opening with the bullnose you described. At first I was intimidated by it but after watching you explain and do it, gives me the confidence to tackle it. Thanks again for your dedication and professionalism to the craft and providing us with your knowledge, cheers from Las Vegas.
So we got this thing all screwed up (he giggles) I caught that😆
Your workmanship and attention to detail are amazing. I’m needing to do this exact thing to some openings in my home and I’ve learned from this video just how to do it- thank you for sharing your expertise!
That’s awesome!!
Great work. It's inspiring to see someone who still believes in detail and quality. Something sadly missing in the trades today. Thanks for taking the time to do all these videos. I watch
I watch everyone of them.
its not missing in the trades, the customers would rather hire the guy who bids much cheaper...
Hey Rich, great job again brother. You kept saying 13/16 for the reveal instead of 3/16, LOL, all good brother we all knew what you meant. I would have always put that up piece meal but I like your method of putting it all together and then placing it in place. It was nice that your opening was pretty square, that always helps. Hope you enjoy that new mitre saw, I keep eye balling that one for my next purchase. All the best, Al from Maryland
What is the purpose of the 3/16" reveal?
Glad i saw this comment. I was getting confused in what he was saying lmao
I hate you! I found your channel last night, and spent probably 4-5 hours watching your videos! Got me stuck in my chair! I need some of that glue dissolver you use to get me out! Great stuff! Like your demeanor.! Ive done just about everything in my home, but still keep on learning! Keep it going!
Have you a video on trimmed out interior curved arched doorways?
Why not pre-hung the casing? And pre trim it on one side ?
I like to scribe the differences....good video but i know there are always jobsite challenges. Your videos are cool to watch! Like this old house
Great job, true professional, being an amateur myself, really enjoy seeing a pro do his thing. Can't imagine what the 24 thumbs down people didn't like about it, maybe your competitors or worse (leave it at that).
Maybe I missed it on the video, but what size chamfer bit are you using?
I am a mother of 4 my oldest is 18 she's about to start college and I have a special needs daughter. I come to realize working with my hands calms me. Thank you for the videos.
Yes Sir, Good stuff as always ..You played that out with the 2" nail perfectly....
A true trim carpenter caught the 13/16 multi mark mistake instantly
Shawn Dinterman 3/16 reveal on that particular jig
Ohh yea!- I caught it!
What tool is that
you don't even need to be a carpenter to catch that
I wish I could work with you. I love my stuff too.
Nice
awesome tools but those latter's need to go. get some fiber glass ones much sturdier and safer. great video
When people say I’m slow I say, you can’t rush perfection!
Great video as always. You allow me to have a home I otherwise couldn’t afford. Thank you very much.
One question: What is the term used to describe the thicker block of trim resting on the floor. Can’t quite hear. TY
Plinth.
afholderman TY very much!
I’m loving the daily uploads. Keep them up Richard!
If you were in a situation where your trim was going to roll in or out, which one would you rather have to deal with? Or which is easier to deal with or compensate for?
Wow, I have seen a number of your videos lately. I'm very impressed with your eye for detail, the quality of workmanship and your ability to convey an educational video that the average layman and woman can understand. Keep up the great work and thanks for all of your postings.
Would be interesting to see a video of installing trim in older homes with out of square frames and walls. Installing base with damaged drywall behind from prior repairs and base installs. Rounded interior corners and installing miters. Trimming uneven floors, etc. Your videos are nice and informative, but I see a lot of newer homes. If you have jobs in old homes that have seen repairs, settlement, that would be a good video.
Friend , your videos are very interesting , budt why don't , you make them in Spanish ?
Wouldn't it be easier to use an outside caliper instead of nailing boards to the wall?
Thanks for mentioning the different gauges of nails. Its the details such as keeping a board proud, the dimensions, or the nail sizes that I spend too much time thinking about. Again thanks.
Why not just clamp your measuring boards instead of nailing them over and over?
Yup, use the full length pre milled trim boards, then of to the saw and router table! Ta da!
Well when you do it make sure you do it your expert way ,i dont understand how people watching how to videos are experts at doing it . If you are watching it its because you have no fucking idea how to do this job . YES like me ,but im not here telling the expert how to do his job .
It’s a lot easier to just tack it to the wall if your trim is going to hide it. Make sure the trim hides it though, don’t go too far out.
Use the full length of trim clamped toward top and bottom and take measurement without all that nailing, when you done, mill the pieces :) Just a thought mate, cheers for the vids!
Best opening trim explanation video ever. So glad I found your channel. I am learning so much because you are the perfect teacher.
2” heart-attach.
You got me there lol. "Oh no it was the 2" nails" hahahaha
Nailing the frame to the wood floors 😂 when you said “don’t worry...” I thought it would be hilarious if you pretended you used the 2” nails by accident. Then you did pretend but you were so convincing I actually believed it 😆
I enjoy your watching your utbue channel.. I would like to know what laser Leveler do you use?
You need some digital calipers to take that measurement for the jamb board. No need to nail or clamp up some boards to the outside walls.
tighten the top of the leg to the header with a cardboard shim under the leg, nail from top to bottom removing shim before bottom nailing
Still don't know how you have dislikes on your videos. Great instruction and fantastic work, man!
Love your vids I’m a main only second fix carpenter from England! I know it’s how
You do it in America but wow 4 and 15/16s what the heck! The imperial system seems so bad from someone who’s never used it! Being able to call any number as a number within a mm is so much easier.
I use the Imperial system because in America we only use the metric system when purchasing illegal drugs. But you are right. Everything at 10ths makes so much sense. Try explaining 11/64ths to someone quickly and concisely and you find out that you can't.
Ive been watching you for a few months now you take so much pride in your work I am a joiner myself but really enjoy your stuff keep it up 👍
Why don't you use a small jobsite jointed to finish you're edge cuts
I mean jointer
Finish Carpentry TV, thanks for ramping up so many vids lately; I'm sure it takes a huge bite out of your day to shoot an instructional vid so I appreciate the effort. Keep 'em coming!
Most excellent teaching video thank u 4 taking the time showing us you secrets...Do you ever do modern trim
Glasses my mann GLASSES-suprised you didnt mention how i bug you to keep them on/you had them off again with the big nailer /your the profeessional though/i just build on a table and i aleays have my PPO on because staplers going on all around😎/your channel is still awsome
You are such an artist! Love your work.
Showing us the use of the Kreg tool, you said 13/16" revel. I think you meant to say 3/16"
I was thinking the same, I heard 13/16th also
Awesome video, appreciate the teaching style and speed. Love the sense of humor!! 2 inch nails! You nailed that joke!
Do an arch opening casing!
You do really great work and I would say that your Dad is probably very proud of you.
Very funny with the 2" nails! Made my stomach drop for a minute. Good look and great video.
At 19:26, I heard you called it a, "Chamfer?" From the top of the header coming down. How did u make that? You showed everything perfect except how u made that. Did u use a router? If so how did you remove the bit 4" perfectly from the top? Btw, I live in big spring tx. Ty so so much. This was bad ass!!!
Like a boss...
Lol on the 2 inch nails in the floor
What kind of board is your inside casing mdf?
Richard, great to see a long awaited job site video. Learned so much from this one!!! As always hope all is well and God bless you and your family...
Dude, your work is BEAUTIFUL! You are awesome in that you are willing to share with strangers how you achieve such awesome results. You rock!!!
Great tips and well presented.do you spray or brush a finish on a single opening like this.Cheers.
24:24 Mitered return, can you explain that please. Thanks!
Love watching your videos and tutorials, keep up the great work. +1
I'm need to make sure my wife doesn't see this, (she will call Richard to come do our door frames!)
Kenny Shepherd lol noooo don’t hide it from her, let her call him! 😁 just look how good your door frames will look after he gets his hands on them! 🤩
Thanks for all the great vids! I'm currently installing all new trim in my house, and I've pieced together a few ideas to design my door/window casings. I'm incorporating your design with the chamfered edges, and it really looks great. I'm running into a problem with a couple of doors because they're so close, though. I was wondering if I could shoot you a couple of pics and have you maybe tell me how you'd handle it?
7:16 - why did shooting the nails in cause the camera to go out of focus? Was that the camera person reacting to the noise, or something else?
This is amazing. You just turned me into a more experienced and inspired carpenter through a video. Wow.
On top of the video you mentioned how much the materials, prep and everything else to install. Definitely subscribed.
This is nice, but RARELY is a home ever plumb. Especially a manufactured home. Every time I have to do remodel work, I have to custom install everything and put "lipstick on a pig", so to speak. I like to call it Industrial Light and Magic.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
In addition to your excellent trim work, your video production is on point.
If I'm making a more simple casing out of MDF outside and installing it inside after it's all assmebled, can I use CA glue instead of the creg screws to hold it together while I assemble and move it in? I don't have a creg bit setup and I think mdf might be a little weak and might tear if there are screw holes like that.
100% unquestionably one of the best channels on RUclips for this kind of work. You explain why you mean by each step quite clearly.
I’m just a DIYer wanna be and I am wondering why you need a 7 1/2 miter saw along with your 12” miter saw for this job?
I’m finally tackling this, I have one side jamb that is 4-5/8 consistently, the other side is 5 even consistently. Should I default to proud of 5” for all three jambs? Or just be proud of the average for each jamb piece?
I would assume you’d cut the drywall return out of the jamb and then trim it. What’s the reasoning for attaching it to the dry wall and covering the bullnose instead of removing it?
Are u from dfw?
Thank God Dewalt came out with the Gen II 18g nailer.....that bing bing bing used to drive me nuts on repetitive work LOLs
Awesome! Watching from Norway, never seen trim like that over here. Might just copy this ;)
My dream trip is to Norway. Give it a try over there and start the trend
If I am stripping my floors down to the bare concrete, and I want to put in brand new Wainscoting, do I put the wainscoting in first down to the concrete?, Or do I put the flooring in first and then put the Wainscoting in?
I’m putting in vinyl/wood flooring. From HD.
Great stuff as always. As for Google/RUclips. You make a $100 billion a year. Do we really need to have multiple ads in the middle of videos? Good gawd you're greedy bastards.
...paint it...!!!...paint it...!!!...paint it...!!!...please say that video with the new Graco is coming...
a little trick fro measuring curved edge widths, screw a piece of MDF squared up onto each clamping foot on a quick clamp, then you can quickly clamp over a timber measure the internal width without nailing.
New subscriber. Great videos. Well explained instructions. Not too much, or too little, info. Thanks. Just had a Finish Carpenter do lots of new door trim and 8” baseboards throughout new rental home. Have any videos on what you use to hide nail holes?
