- This trick will blow your mind. I worked in construction for years before I learned this and when I did I wanted to slap myself because this is such a simple and effective way to make a compound cut on a miter in one easy step. I'll probably do a part 2 video to show some other techniques.

I am a retired Carpenter. I have done just what you showed. I refer to it as a hopper or a reverse Hopper joint. It's good to see you pass on this knowledge to others. Good job keep up the good work.
WTF…Where was this about 5 years ago when I replaced all my windows 🪟.. Not sure what I’m more impressed with, your knowledge of carpentry or how your able to explain/teacher us this so easily. You my friend are a amazing teacher. Bless you and your family… Thanks
Thanks!
Nobody cares scram weirdo
Yeah ! That !!!! What B. Cook said .
Did mine terribly with a buddy yesterday and found this video today.
I love the way you teach! you are the best
Phenomenal. We “take the time” to fit each miter as it truly makes for a professional product. It’s so aggravating knowing how much time is wasted. I never thought about cutting the piece nested. With a set of various thickness Pre-Cut shims, this will save so much time. I truly appreciate the time you take to provide this content. One of the best finish CZcamsrs out there. Very grateful.
Isn’t it crazy how after you see it done and then consider the struggle through the years trying to make compound cuts work...made me want to slap myself when I first learned it.
I wanted to echo what John Ploetz said. Spent years putting up casing and never thought to do this. Thanks for educating this old timer.
toolwarrior You’re welcome. It’s sad that there isn’t more sharing of trade knowledge.
This is actually genius, thanks for sharing
Having a stack of shims on hand is a great idea. I was thinking this was a awesome tip, but wondered where I’d find scrap that just happened to be the right thickness, but you basically just need a set of gauge blocks. 🤓👍
What a great video buddy.
Keep them coming.
Im a PM in construction and i know exactly what you are talking about.
I wish all my guys were educated like this.
Thanks
I’m learning so much from you! I’m an old lady who loves diy projects. Everything I’ve learned from you makes so much sense and is easy to understand. I never would’ve thought to put up a nail to hold a long expanse of crown molding- duh! I’m not much for getting up and down a ladder ( especially when no one is around) so I really appreciated the tips to save trips up and down a ladder! Now I can tackle the crown molding by myself without having my daughter come help me. You’re a great teacher!
Awesome, I’ve been doing this stuff for 20 something years and have never thought or seen this done. Thanks for the tip. I’ll definitely use this one. Stay well
This how I was taught by my boss back in 1988. It's a good simple quick technique. Nice job. I enjoy your videos and your craftmanship.
I’m professional but not so experienced as You do buddy,but I ‘m proud to have you at the side of my work life. Good bless you! Thank you for all work that you share with us. 🤗
Simple, straight forward, and affective; my favorite type of CZcams videos. Great tips!
Been doing trim and casings for 35 years and learned something. Goes to show you can teach and old dog new tricks!
I’ve been working in finish/ trim carpentry for almost 4 years and ever since I’ve started you’re videos have really helped me out, even to this day I still watch em when I’m stuck with something
Great to hear!
I’ve completed/replaced much of the finish carpentry in our home. But not the windows, they’re next, SOON. WOW! I am so glad I watched your video. Thank you for generously sharing.
seriously watching this a day late. I discovered this little trick last night trying to cut offset panel molding against a raised panel. Great video and tip
This might be the most genius thing I've ever heard of. Awesome!!
WOW. Subscribed. Just a weekend DIY guy. This is why we pay professionals. They know these tricks.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and approaches to solving the problems that inevitably pop up. That you explain what the trade offs are and when certain techniques are applicable is invaluable. I love your methodical approach and setup, definitely gives me something to aspire towards.
I just want to say how good your videos are. I love how you talk to the professional or at least you talk to someone that halfway knows what they are doing and you are not talking to the complete novice.
Great Tip...
Thank You For Your Time
And Effort You Input Into This Video... 👊
Awesome video. This is the exact same technique we use when fitting our trim and it works to perfection!
Ive been doing carpentry and molding for over 30 years and just learned something new!!! Thank you!!!
@MichaelKingsfordGray I get right on that
Thank you!! Had I watched this years ago, it would have prevented a lot of head banging. I've got a full house flooring & casing to do next month. This will save me lots of future frustrations. Thank you.
Holy crap, that is an awesome technique! That could save someone countless hours, in a poorly framed house! Thank you very much for this video!!
Wow nice tip. I am in the process of doing total renovation of a few rooms and this video popped up. Thank you so much.
Started in finish carpentry in 95, First employer never allowed sanding of casing corners due to the fact we used hard woods (Oak, Cherry and Walnut......I truly miss those days now we get to breathe in MDF) and if you sanded only the corner it looked terrible with stain, so he had us carry different sized gauge blocks to do exactly what you showed in tutorial, awesome tool to have in arsenal of knowledge, now i can put a name to the technique "Rolling The Miter" Awesome Content Bro
It never ever crossed my mind to do this. Thank you for sharing work knowledge.
BRILLIANT! Great video. Thank you for the tips. I always enjoy learning the tricks of the trades.
Mind blown, great tip and thanks for taking the time to educate.
Really useful tip! So many houses are poorly framed. This really helps to deal with those issues.
I am a 35 year carpenter veteran. This is so simple and effective method. I really learned something today thank you thank you. Brilliant.
By far the best way of handling this I've found. Thanks for the great tips.
Brilliant! Been a handyman for 40 years and never thought of doing it that way. Where were you 40 years ago? That saves so much time and gives a superior result! Thank you.
WOW, Simple solution to a common problem, thanks for the tip, my customers will appreciate you sharing that with me :)
So happy to find this video, you're a true Craftsmen! 👍
Back to the practical, old school, simple solutions, which seems to be rare these days. Very pro.
If only I had watched this before doing the jambs and trim for my new addition. Awesome stuff!
Awesome "trick" it makes so much sense when you see it. Great video thanks for sharing.
This is the most simple,quick and right way of fixing those problems...i learned something new and its done right...i believe in do it right the first time and ill be using this technique from now on for sure...thank you so much for the right and easy way of fixing these problems...what a time and money saver...no more waisting molding trying to get the right fit...awesome video and thank you for sharing it with us...
Thank you for taking a seemingly complicated issue and providing a simple solution. You are an excellent teacher 👏
Mind blowin!!! I worked for a builder who would have us plane the jambs down so the casing layer flat. This was done in $3 million dollar homes. All that wasted time.
Thanks for sharing this man!
That's actually a superb trick with rolling the miter this is definitely a trick that'll make me smile over and over again thank you
This guys a badass! You look pretty young too man. Very skilled, I’ll be watching more of your videos for sure.
Fantastic. Now that is one for the mental tool box. Thanks for the great video.
This is why carpentry is a great job. You never get bored and you learn new things every time. Plus work with cool tools.
Great video and i really like your youtube channel.
Carpenters are required to use problem solving on a daily basis, even to complete the 'simplest' jobs...It's very stimulating in that respect...
Framers are generally overworked and underpaid.
Awesome trick! Somebody needs to write a carpentry book of just tips/tricks like this.
Thanks for the awesome content! I also love how you talk slow enough for me to understand and comprehend what your saying.
This is so obvious. I have no idea why this isn't common knowledge. Thanks for your willingness to share. Its a great sign that you have truly mastered your craft.
Excellent video showing such a simple fix to this problem. Thank you, for sharing!!
Mind blown- that’s like magic! Thank you!
20 years ago I worked with a guy who would have a dime, nickel, and quarter on the side of the chop saw and we would use them stacked in combination as needed to approximate the angle needed to accomplish the roll you show. Having a few pre-cut shims like yours would be good too. Thx-
Thanks for that tip ,well explained,thanks again.
Thank you for sharing this information. I’m always so thankful for people who share knowledge like this.
Great video!! I do the same thing when I’m cutting base vertically for an uneven floor. I’ll usually carry around a few scraps at a 45 or 22.5 to see if my joints line up tight and will stick a shim under it if necessary.
Outstanding video! Both in the technique you’re teaching and how you’re teaching/explaining
Amazing! You make my day better. Thanks
I like your video. You know your stuff. Its nice to learn new things to make the job go right.
Thank-you for this!! So many of the resources I've been able to find so far have been for jambs that are 1/4" proud or less. We inherited a house with some ridiculously proud door jambs that we've been trying to fix but we can't sand down the jambs to be flush with the drywall due to the orientation of the doors. The method you showed gives me hope that we'll be able to get some passable trim up!
Thanks man. Simply the best way I see so far.. Keep em coming.
I had just been looking at windows with this situation that I need to trim.
Here is the correct way of doing it
Thanks much

Mind blown....thanks for this trick!!!
Genius
Ive been rubbing down miters on the back side for years, it works but very time consuming.
Thank you
Not quite retired at 59, but I’m an old school finishing carpenter and I’ve used many of the same tricks. However, I’m not ready to give up my air hose and Senco finish guns. Old and American made. You still can’t beat the quality.
I’m very impressed with your videos. Thank you.
I'm a fan of air also. Here I only used the cordless because I had my hoses going a different direction and I only bring one 18 gauge pnuematic onsite. So I'll use the cordless when needed.
Great info. I don't do windows but I install a lot of replacement pre-hung doors with janky drywall in old rent houses. This will help a lot with a frequent problem. I've just been using a lot of "Fast and Final" to fill the corner gaps. : )
Great tip, have to remember it if I run into a similar situation.
“Nested Position” new term to me and I like it have done the roll cut before. I like using cut up refrigerator magnets as they stick to and are of uniform thickness. Pretty much get to reading 1 count, 2 count, 3 count on stack. Don’t forget your in it to make money every trim carpenter should be running 3 chop saws L,R, 90 slide. Keep it up
This a great tip. I remember when I first figured it out on a job with a few tough spots. Instead of keeping multiple shim strips at different thicknesses, I glued up a stack of thin shims in stair step. It always stayed in my pouches. When I came to a problem I would hold up a scrap of mitered casing, the measurement may change at the overhanging miter tip, and count the steps in the shim. Then I used the same stepped shim at the miter saw to hold the casing at the nested angle. Thanks for all your tips. They have stepped up my game.
I like the idea pf a single gauge, I'm wondering how you hold the stepped shims against the miter guide if for example the jamb side needed lifted, wouldn't the steps hold the trim from flush with the straight guide? It's possible I'm misunderstanding what the shape of the stepped shims actually looks like. In my mind it's somewhat like a stair stringer....

Wow bro, I've been doing finish for years and been around a bunch of skilled finish guys, and I've never seen anyone do that, or even mention it! Thanks man, I'll be using that sweet trick Monday morning !
Thank you so much for this video. I was afraid I’d be stuck with giant gaps between my door trim and the drywall because the jamb sits proud of the drywall. I rolled the miter after watching this video today and it turned out awesome! Such a simple concept and easy to do.
This might be one of the smartest tricks I’ve ever learned! Thank you very much good sir!
THANK YOU I've been doing it the hard way this will save me a ton of time.
Good tutorial, nice useful technique. Thanks for showing us.
starting a remodel of my house and you just saved me so much time going into it. thanks
Can’t believe I never thought of this. Was an eye opening video. Thank you very much!!!
Right...I've been using ripped material to create an extension on the jambs
Good morning, nice skill to learn right before I go into work. I’m going to try this today.
Fantastic & so simple. That clamp looks awesome. Subscribed.
The first time I cases windows this is what I was taught to do. Very simple, and makes the product look good.
thx for the great tip! Always looking to make my job easier
Such wonderful life changing technique. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
Wow! Thanks dude. That was mindblowing
This is a useful technique for those minor issues. I’m going to give it a try next time.You should see some of the funky drywall we see. It can vary up to 5/8” as you go around a window opening on retrofit window installs.
I have been waiting to see this. I saw the Instagram stories but I need this refresh.
What a great tip! Nicely explained and exemplified!
This guy is a natural teacher! Thanks brother
Great vid mate learnt something new today thanks!!! As soon as I saw the shim I raised what ya were up to. Great simple technique!!! Subscribed!!
Thank you for your videos and effort, very informative and well done. Thank you for helping us improve our skills!
Every time I hear old school.... well, that's me. Framed and trimmed custom homes starting in the 80's. Retired now but still do some work. This young man, Spencer, he is really good.
Excellent job young man.
