    I know someone will talk about my non OSHA approved ladder rig. Let me just say it was safe for me. I jumped up and down on it. Apparently no companies make a tool for your ladder like this because it is not approved by OSHA. In the real world, I just get the job done. If anyone wants to skip the build and go straight to the install click 13:30

      It was perfectly executed. Funny thing is that once I stacked 5 pallets to paint the top edge of stairway.
      Wife thought I was crazy when she woke up found me about 12 feet in the air. My response was "you wanted me to paint" Lol

    I'm in my first couple months of seriously working in the carpentry business and have to build window casings for the first time this week. Your videos have been helping me tremendously and I'm very appreciative. I finally wake up looking forward to going to work and your videos have assisted me in enjoying my job even more by having the knowledge needed to preform the best I possibly can.

      Jake Nestor I try to read about these things but I feel like the books try to get to fancy with all types of lingo only furniture makers understand. Watching has always been the best method of learning for me and now I’m progressing and learning so much more since I come home and watch trade videos all night long after work.

    • @jacobguitar1809
      @jacobguitar1809 Před 5 lety +1

      @@carsongoodman5581 100%. I use the videos to gain knowledge before I go do a job. Makes it a lot easier to understand and saves a lot of time on the jobsite not having to mess around figuring out things on my own. Higher production rate = more money. So spending an hour of my time watching videos on my own time makes me more money. Plus I enjoy viewing them

    As a finish carpenter myself I really appreciate your craftsmanship and attention to detail. I thoroughly enjoy doing trim work especially crown molding and wainscoting, you'd be surprised how poorly I've seen trim installed in million dollar homes it seems as if the previous workers took no pride or care in their work. I've seen some work that did not even have the joints /seams sanded or caulked lol oh well more repair work for me!

    Thanks friend for your expertise. I, as a 61 yr old, enjoy finish carpentry but I only do it occasionally and it's usually for family, friends and as a ministry. God knows I'd starve to death if I had to do it for a living. I've learned so much from you, especially a higher level of confidence. As a teacher, you inspire others. I pray that God blesses you and your family greatly.

    So I love your videos. You remind me of a kid that work for me at Euro Design Cabinets. He was always helpful and wanted to better himself always. This framed trim idea is great also for folks who have windows installed to their home that was single pain from back when. The installers only add caulk to seal in the mew ones. This would make for more air tight and better sealed. Love it. The Grumpy Gunny.

    Awesome videos, great work. Easy way to get the long to long casing measurements for the frame is measure inside dimension of frame, add 3/8" (for the two 3/16" reveals) then add 5" (for the two pieces 2-1/2" casing). Just a little easier than trying to position the loose pieces and taking a measurement.

    Hey man! I really like your videos. I live in Vancouver BC. I'm a carpenter who has worked his way to the top working for prime contractors building buildings. I'm now a CSO / Site super. I have always been in commercial construction. I have been doing side jobs on weekends via craigslist and a bit of word of mouth. I truly love the time I spend doing these side jobs and when I can bring a friend along and pay them as well I get really stoked. Stoked in a way that just dosent happen when at my 50 plus hour a week day job working for $30 and hour. I want to start my own company with myself and an employee or two but have been having trouble figuring out the first major step to doing this full time. I do have truck paymets rent etc and that is where most of my fear comes from when I think of getting one job and not knowing where to get the next. The only thing is I cant seem to find that first one job. Any advice for me? Cheers lol

    Nice! I always build my extension jambs pre-trimmed like this. For new builds, I always have to make sure they do not order extension jambs pre-installed so that I can do every window this way. The pre-installed jambs never sit flush with the drywall and I’m always having to fix things or leave larger than necessary caulk gaps for the painter. This is the first time I’ve seen anyone else do it. Smarter not harder.

My DeWalt DHS790AT2 just arrived yesterday and is calling out to be used. Many thanks for taking the time and making the effort to produce these helpful shows.
    As for the GoPro, it has its place, but should be used discerningly, as it can be distracting when it's jumping around. I've seen other videos (not yours), that are enough to trigger motion sickness in mere mortals from the body movements.

    Another fine video! 😎 I liked the close up shots of your markings. I guess that is the go camera you referred to. I have that KREG multi tool and just use it as a combination ruler. “THANKS” I didn’t know I can use it for that. The close ups of your pencil lines helps much and also how you draw your cut on the piece of wood. Keeps everything in line.
    I am definitely going to become a subscriber but it will be on the low end. I have learn so much over the years that I should start giving back.

    Good stuff bro 👍 I personally love doing the majority of my installs like that for trim, it's so much easier. I'll do it for full jamb setups like that or even just picture frame casing setups, use the miter clamps with some glue and a couple tacks in the corners, and blammo, bring it in the house, nail it up, and walk away, job well done 😎👌
