I'm impressed. After spending several years finishing with POS MDF trim and filling holes the painter couldn't be bothered to touch, it's great to see this level of finishing happening at the new build level. Excellent technique! You are certainly a finisher worth his salt!
Those Lamello self clamping biscuits can be super slick. I bought a big pack ~4 years ago and only have a handful left. It's kind of funny how deep the biscuit rabbit hole really goes. All sorts of different ones out there. Nice work!
Man in all my time I never did this level where there was not allowed any fasteners like nail holes ? I always had just a few and some biscuits? Keep this coming I am loaded heading to a job in the AM for custom built floating shelf’s , cabinets and huge credenza! I need to motivation brother to step it up !
@ we pro finish guys really appreciate it. I don’t get big custom homes often. These GC’s around here run with their own hourly rate guys whereas I am a sub contractor. However; every once in a while I get them from smaller custom home builders . So guys like you and Spencer Lewis are go to pros !
@@Darkhorsecustomcarpentry more long form videos? Yes please!! The shorts are awesome as well. I'm newish to the finish trim world and the tips have been wonderful
@@jaywiebe7612 It's hard to do on a busy site and some sites photography and social media is prohibited because they are custom homes. I will do them as often as I can make it happen.
First time I’ve ever seen this. Nicely done. Can tell it’s high quality just from the vid. Can you comment a little bit more about what you meant with VOCs being regulated and making it harder for trim carpenters? Even just a link to an article would be awesome. I would say I’m reasonably well informed but I haven’t heard anything about this. Thanks for the cool video
If you google VOC regulations Canada you will find an article by the gov of Canada. There are new limits on VOC concentrations for consumer products. As far as I know if you have a cabinet shop with proper certification or something then you have more access than a residential painter. I am not sure of all the details. Thanks, glad you like the video.
@@jessgreer2024 I use Quick and Thick on the biscuits so it sets up fast and I can move on without worrying something will move. I use PL on the back of the casing.
First off, love the work you do. I admire your attention to detail. Do you use this same process when the jambs are either proud or recessed of the drywall? I can see this working perfect if the jambs and drywall are in plane with one another. I'm constantly trimming windows with jambs that are never in plane so I have to remove material from either the jamb side or wall side of the trim. How do you deal with that while installing in this manner?
You can rabbit the casing, and/or bash a little drywall if jamb is recessed to a degree. If it is proud as these were we had the drywallers float/parge to the jamb. If it's so bad that neither of these solutions will work then the build isn't good enough for this level of finish unfortunately.
For the Plastic lamellos, do you use Roo Clear in the biscuit slot? I use that glue but being careful to wipe any squeeze out quickly because it'll alter the finish if it stays on too long. Your channel is great and I look forward to more videos.
@@maxschicagowoodworking Thanks. These are pretty new to me. I just use PL on the back of the casing and glue on the wood biscuits. I don't want another glue in process unless I need it. Seams to work well.
Only the biscuits. Not sure what glue would work with the K20s? I might try a test with PL. Pretty solid though as is. I even forgot to put PL on the back of one of my casings and honestly it was totally solid after the glue dried. Pretty happy with the results.
@bricemadden397 not particularly. The chip extraction only works with a vacuum or with the chute removed. It needs a full powered 5 amp battery or it is underpowered. The fence is a bit of a pain... No not a fan. I love my old porter cable which is what I have to compare against. Guy I work with sometimes has a newer porter cable, same parts less power and lower build quality. Mine is about 18 years old.
Great video! Those builders are paying a pretty penny for that level of install with no expose fasteners. Nice work!
@@InsiderCarpentry It's a pretty high end market around here. Expensive place to live too so I still live a carpenters lifestyle haha.

Loved it. Pretty badass carpentry here to be honest.
Glad you like it!
Thank you for this! Picked up a bunch of tips that I will be implementing on an upcoming job!
You bet! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Great work💪🏼
Great video! Appreciate the insight.
Thanks!
Love this.
Well done 👊

I'm going to try to put out some more longer format stuff. It's hard on busy jobsites. Glad you like it!

Shaved! 😀

Did you add glue to the biscuits?
As well as the k20?

You happy with that Makita?
I have the zeta but it might be a nice To have a mate to go with it

Figures I kind of expected that to be the case
Why not use p14 tenso clips?
