I’m 71/ a semi active carpenter, furniture maker. I’m learning nuances and spatial reasoning techniques from you. You’re good, kid. You belong on HGTV....you rock.
We have no idea how lucky we are to live in a time where such excellent in-depth content is freely available. Not very long ago, if you wanted to learn how to do something, you either had to know the "right guy" firsthand, or hope like heck your library happened to have a good book on the subject.
Never mind the idiots, I think you do an excellent n very professional job teaching. I love this project so much. I have always wanted to learn how to build it. So, I thank you very much.
I've built much more elaborate woodwork in multimillion dollar homes and I still watch you. One should never stop learning or think that someone with less experience has nothing to offer. Keep doing your thing we I'll watch
I'm loving these series , I live in central california and not a whole lot of homes have wainscoting in my opinion it adds a touch of elegance and class to any living space and simply love it .
I just want to say that I think your a fantastic carpenter and and even better teacher of the craft! What you do and how you do it is a lost art and whomever taught you was a master themselves! Please keep the videos coming, they have taught me so much and I keep learning something new from you. My grandfather was a master carpenter and owned his own shop that he built custom furniture out of. Unfortunately he died before I could learn much from him. So your videos of what you do is awesome! Bless you and keep them coming!
Hi. I'm a photographer from the UK, who has been watching DIY videos since the lockdown. I salute you sir, you have got me hooked on learning a new trade. Your casual laid-back style, with attention to the finest detail, is absolutely brilliant.
The people who are saying these videos take too long lack patience, true craftsmanship, and attention to detail. I've done lots of trim work as an extreme DIYer, but it's very rare to find a pro with the level of detail and pride of work that you do. I appreciate the in-depth series and have learned a lot from watching this, thanks...solid f'ing work!!!
Dont listen too the haters, Your a Great finish carpenter I did finish for 35yrs Im now leagally blind & retired I love watching you work, Thank you & God Bless you & Your family
This is a series not a one video how to. Take ur time and don’t listen to the impatient fools. We are here to learn step by step. You are doing a great job. Love the videos so far! Thanks for taking the time to show us!
This is a gold standard series. Thanks Richard, you’re a natural teacher - great pace, very clear and everything fully explained. Bathroom refurb, I’m ready to start.....
Mill work cannot be rushed. If you want to get it done in a couple of hours, your project will reflect with the time and effort. Great work. Waiting for the next video. Love this series.
Thank you for continuing to do this. When I was a kid my dad did stain grade trim work part time as a side gig. I was his helper for 4 years. He didn't stop to explain what he was doing or why. There were just jobs I could do, jobs I could help him do and jobs where I had to sit back and watch. Doing a job is enough work by itself. Explaining the why and the what is slower and more difficult than just doing the job. Thank you for your instruction, time and effort. I really appreciate your videos and your process. Thank you.
As always, well done. I’ve been a trim carpenter for about 30 to 32 years, and I still enjoy watching your videos and pick up a few trips here and there.
Detailed videos like these are rare gems on RUclips. I sincerely thank you for the effort you put into them, and would love more on other topics as well.
This is a gold standard series. Thanks Richard, you’re a fabulous teacher - great pace and everything fully explained. Bathroom refurb, I’m ready to start.....
I'm loving this series Rich, thanks so much. The only thing better than your content is the easy manner you have of teaching, and the way you get everything you want to get across to us so well. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into helping people you don't even know.
You have given me the courage to do my own wainscoting project. I am at a good start and have the frame up on one wall now. Taking my time with all the measurements. Even with the first panel up I can see things that I should have done differently. There is a steep learning curve on these things but your videos and experience are its own best teachers. I would love to show you a picture of my project when it is done.
The people who think it's taking to long are the ones who know what to do but those of us who dont this is PERFECT. Thanks for doing this series Richard
Thanks for being so thorough and explaining each reason for why you make your decisions. Those nuggets of info are priceless! I’ve been wanting to offer wainscot service to clients but haven’t had the confidence until this series. Looking forward to the rest of it!
I just caught this video. i am planning some wainscoting for my staircase. The measuring part is quite important. since i will be working with angles even more so. Ill wait until i have watched the whole series before i get started. Slow is good since not all of us are carpenters, i am not. . You are my teacher . Take your time.
My names octavio g Im doing my first wainscot and I want to say its been a challenge but thanks to your videos ill be paying my bills for next month. Your are truelly a professional
Can't thank you enough for taking the time to share your knowledge, experience and expertise with us "lay folk"... I'm actually feeling very comfortable with at least trying to do a wainscot build and install - even if it's just one wall in my office... I only have 2 thumbs, but 5 thumbs up to you and your crew!
The longer it takes the better I absorb all the information and lessons. And I go back to binge watching your whole channel. (I know, newbie here). This is my Netflix lol
I think you do a great job teaching and there should be no hurry. Quality videos take time and there is a lot more than people realize in filming good shots and audio and editing. You also run a business and have a family! Keep doing what you are doing!
Excellent tutorial Richard, obviously it's going to take longer than normal because your explaining stuff showing tips etc, but most of all your having to work in the real world as well to pay the bills like us all, anyway I like the no rush way of doing things myself less mistakes, keep it going I'm loving the whole experience.
I’ve been watching your vids for some time now. I’m a mechanic by trade. Carpentry is my second job, now that I bought a house. I’m also in the Fort Worth area. I love building and working with my hands. I really appreciate your content and your drive. Keep up the good work
I became a member today. I'm an old guy and you have taught me so much. Your videos or the first one I go to. Keep up the great work. Your time and knowledge is greatly appreciated. with best regards, Ronnie Green
Wow, great job in building the first wall. Thank you for taking tine to explain each step along the way. I feel confident once I see how you do things. You are a great resource for anyone who has some basic skills. Of course all the tools you have are great asset however, its a big investment for someone who is improving their own house. You are very kind to take the time to show us you skills.
Another informative video and worth the time to watch. Don't worry about the criticizers, even mentioning their comments shows them you read it and fuels them for the next ignorant comment. If I already knew how to do it, I wouldn't watch but since I am watching, teach me!
I use a couple handscrew clamps to keep boards upright while pocket-holing so you don't have to balance the board while screwing into the board. Great series!
Got inspired by your videos to panel a wall in my den. Came out great. Wish I could upload a picture. Thanks for making these videos, and please keep them coming.
Such a fantastic series! I learn something on ever video update. Unbelievable that you would take this much time to share your expertise! Thank you so much!!!
I’m really enjoying this series, particularly the amount of knowledge and expertise you are giving to us for free! We don’t do much wainscot here in Australia, but I really think I’ll give it a go when I get my own home as it looks fantastic. Thank you. Cheers. Jeff 👍😀🦘
You sir are a true craftsman! I really enjoy the information and explanations you are giving in this series. This is one of my favorite channels and I enjoy learning from someone who puts as much care into their explanations of a process as he does his work. Well done!
Thank you., Thank you, Thank you, this has been and excellent series, This is not taking too long, I truly appreciate the in depth approach. You are an excellent and very generous teacher. I learned wood working from my dad, who as a fine cabinet maker and built the harpsicord he played.
Wow, I’m blown away, the measurements are the same. That’s got to be nice. Is that what it’s like in the real world? My bosses projects are sometimes three inches off, and I’m not exaggerating. Floors that drop three inches, walls that veer back three inches. Walls and ceilings that look like a roller coaster. Try doing finish work in these conditions. lol 😂
Really enjoying this series so far and looking forward to the rest of the episodes. I’ve been installing high end kitchens for more than 40 years. As part of the trim detail in many of them I’ve done a lot of wainscot over the years. So far your series has been spot on with how I approach the process with one exception. I always use full height stiles on the ends of the wainscot units. I guess it’s the cabinet guy in me but I think it looks more finished. It’s also easy to scribe the full height stile to an out of plumb corner before assembly.
Richard May I suggest that you make stand up jig to hold the rails perpendicular to the ground. This way you should be able to just slide the stiles in place. This way it will make assembly easier. Richard I never knew how to make out the boxes as you do. Appreciate ask your teachings. Thanks
I watch you on t.v. no way to comment so i have to go to my phone to comment. I love WATCHING your channel you are excellent you go over everything very well what kind of tools and all. I'm doing a farm house over in N.H. thank you for all your tips and tricks. Keep going brother love your channel
I know this is an older video, but since I'm watching it, a tip to hold your pre-assembled framework upright is to us some clamps on the very bottom of it at each end. Those wooden hand screw clamps work best!
I’m so excited to see the process and also the concept coming together. This is usually where shows fast forward to the end. Thanks for spending the time to cover nail placement and the gap information on the bottom rail. Those are great details to know.
Thank you for this series. The information you are sharing is invaluable. No matter how long this will take. Don't let the nay sayers screw it up for the rest of us sucking up all this valuable information.
i dont thank its takin too long. I like it like this cause if i do this in my home i can go back and learn stuff i may have forgotten. I wouldnt change a thang if i was u. Great job
When you’re taking the measurement for the same cuts it’s probably better to mark your first cut instead of measuring from the inner blade. The TEETH of the blade will usually take 1/8” out. If your measurement is from the mid part of the blade and not the teeth your cut will come out slightly shorter because the teeth take more out. I dont know if that makes sense. Your work is great and I definitely learn a lot from you. Keep it up Richard!
Awesome work and explanation like always. Because of your videos, I have decided to take on wainscoting project for my home. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Brother I love how you do this work and I and I love how you do the hardwood flooring you are very talented your video set taught me how to do base molding in Crown it's amazing thank you very much
Love all the videos you do. Awesome. I have learned a lot. Bought several speciality tools you have used. We have rentals and rehab them. I like them to be nice and stand out from others.
I’m 71/ a semi active carpenter, furniture maker. I’m learning nuances and spatial reasoning techniques from you. You’re good, kid. You belong on HGTV....you rock.

We used this series to build our window jams 2 years ago. Now we are actually building a wainscoting. So excited.
It's taking too long lol... I'm enjoying the depth of your videos. The window framing part helped me out a lot! Keep sharing your builds please.
Never mind the idiots, I think you do an excellent n very professional job teaching. I love this project so much. I have always wanted to learn how to build it. So, I thank you very much.
It's great that he's doing work on his own house and is using the opportunity to go slowly and take us through every step of the process.
This good
Thank you
He basically builds a face frame, so any videos about face frame building are useful.
Take all the episodes you need Richard. I’m really enjoying the detail lessons. I’ve learned a lot from you. Thanks man.
I've built much more elaborate woodwork in multimillion dollar homes and I still watch you. One should never stop learning or think that someone with less experience has nothing to offer. Keep doing your thing we I'll watch
This was like the most negative compliment I've ever read lol.
A patronizing comment. I think the expression is 'Damning with Faint Praise'.
@@willford8475 that's the word I was going for!
I approach my own trade like that. I always say 'never forget where you came from'.
Douche
As a handy homeowner I appreciate you taking such time and detail. Love this series! Thanks!!
I'm loving these series , I live in central california and not a whole lot of homes have wainscoting in my opinion it adds a touch of elegance and class to any living space and simply love it .
This series is Fantastic, learning a ton of info keep them coming. Great things take time, don't rush. Thanks
Absolutely blown away by the quality of this guys work. The finish on his jobs are flawless.

In your own time Richard, your patience and detail are being given freely and we really appreciate your time.

Enjoying this series and learning some great tips. Also, thanks for not spending half of the video, talking about what you did on the previous one.
Take Your Time! Your detail explaination's and examples are PRICELESS to those of us who are just learning. So, Take Your Time......
Thank you for continuing to do this.

You are a good teacher. Your soft spoken manner and honesty. I didn't know about the sliding trick on the Kreg clamp. Cool
I'm loving this series Rich, thanks so much. The only thing better than your content is the easy manner you have of teaching, and the way you get everything you want to get across to us so well. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into helping people you don't even know.
Because of you, I was able to do my home office myself. Wish I could post pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and skills.

Man, do not worry about what others say. Keep up the good work. I'm hoping to do this in my kids rooms. Got the tool now 👍
I have been looking for a good in-depth wainscoting series. Thank you for the detail. one of my top three favorite channels.
Hey just wanna let you know... Your the man!!! Love the videos and love your personality..
Take your time and do it right the first time. You are teaching, and doing a great job.
Got inspired by your videos to panel a wall in my den. Came out great. Wish I could upload a picture. Thanks for making these videos, and please keep them coming.
Such a fantastic series! I learn something on ever video update. Unbelievable that you would take this much time to share your expertise! Thank you so much!!!
Great tip with the Kreg Clamp. I've struggled several times to get the edges aligned. Thanks for all your work and sharing it on RUclips.
Like that stud finder you're using. Much better than the ones that show just the edge of the stud.
I’m really enjoying this series, particularly the amount of knowledge and expertise you are giving to us for free! We don’t do much wainscot here in Australia, but I really think I’ll give it a go when I get my own home as it looks fantastic. Thank you. Cheers. Jeff 👍😀🦘
I’ve been watching your subscription for three weeks I’ve learned a lot
Awesome details and projects thx

Great video series. You are definitely the most composed dude I've watched, always cool. Peace ✌️
I appreciate you going into such great detail. I'm learning a lot!
They need to take the chill you’re doing just fine
I know this is an older video, but since I'm watching it, a tip to hold your pre-assembled framework upright is to us some clamps on the very bottom of it at each end. Those wooden hand screw clamps work best!
Another great video!!! Love the series!
Love these videos.. Informative and very entertaining at the same time.. Can't wait for the movie.. Wainscott Father.. the trilogy.
#8 is also great! Thanks, Richard.
It’s a pleasure washing your work and thanks for the time and dedication I learn few tricks from you lol stay safe see you on your next video
Appreciate the time and energy put into these instructional videos
All I see is $$$$$$ when I watch these videos. Thank you Richard for showing your system.
My only suggestion would be a set of "door bucks" to hold your bottom rail vertical as you handle the stiles.
I love these videos! The concept of building these as one piece are a game changer!
I’m so excited to see the process and also the concept coming together. This is usually where shows fast forward to the end.
Thanks for spending the time to cover nail placement and the gap information on the bottom rail. Those are great details to know.
Brilliant Video Richard thanks
Excellent job, very organized. GOD Bless you.
Some great tips. Love all your videos, you do a great job, and a great job sharing. Keep up the great work, and forget the haters.
Thank you Richard!
Thank you for this series. The information you are sharing is invaluable. No matter how long this will take. Don't let the nay sayers screw it up for the rest of us sucking up all this valuable information.
Your videos are always awsome. Thanks
There are some impatient pwople out there. Loving this series. Thank you
Amazing. And super easy to follow! Love your channel! I cant wait to try this in my home!
From the UK 👍

I’m really wanting to install some of the wainscoting in my house so thanks for teaching!
When you’re taking the measurement for the same cuts it’s probably better to mark your first cut instead of measuring from the inner blade. The TEETH of the blade will usually take 1/8” out.

Your work is great and I definitely learn a lot from you. Keep it up Richard!
I like the clamp trick
Really enjoy your videos…awesome stuff!
Awesome work and explanation like always. Because of your videos, I have decided to take on wainscoting project for my home. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Brother I love how you do this work and I and I love how you do the hardwood flooring you are very talented your video set taught me how to do base molding in Crown it's amazing thank you very much
Love all the videos you do. Awesome. I have learned a lot. Bought several speciality tools you have used. We have rentals and rehab them. I like them to be nice and stand out from others.
