Wonderful mention of proper wood filler. More and more people are feeling comfortable trying their hands at labor and repairs and the majority of proper advice rests in verbal history between tradies. Thanks for making proper instruction for "the next guy."
Cheers and thanks for checking out the vid 🍻
I think, it's not about "comfortable", rather, they learn they have to do it because nobody will do a quality job for the money they can pay.
I always learn something new from your videos. You make things look so effortless. Have to admit, the out takes at the end are my favorite!😂
@@weekendwarrior3420 You nailed it.
😮
My wife and I installed the baseboards and trim in our house 15 years ago, and it haunts me to this day. I'm a perfectionist, but had no idea what I was doing and it ain't pretty. Now I know how to fix it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
This is literally part of my summer project-correcting the imperfections I introduced replacing the baseboards in my living room two years ago.
Drydex was your recommendation in your old video "The Easiest Way to Get Perfect Miters Every Time!!!" Glad to see even the pros like you are constantly learning and improving your craft.
Such great tips. In addition to your fancy hair - I appreciate how you demo using such great props/pieces in great light. So many DIY tips are in hallways, lit with a phone and it is so hard to see. Your instructions are so clear and especially when you note where "some mistakes" are made. Thank you so much!
Short, but extremely useful info, just perfect! "Better than 99% of the miters" - so true, I've never seen a good miter in the "builder-grade" houses. The pieces aren't even in the same plane!
Builder grade good mitres are tough to find! And run of the mill painters don’t care if the mitres look terrible when they paint them!
@@TheFunnyCarpenter That's what I'm worried about in our upcoming Tiny House interior painting.
Appreciate how your videos are thorough, concise, and clear. I find them very, very, useful. Thank you!!
Excellent as always! I’ve been remodeling a house for the past couple of years and your tips and tricks have been a life saver!
your hair is fancy
I’ve got to get back to the barber and get a little trim!
It was sanded and filled too, now you can see the results
Brylcreem sheen
When you go to the barber, get the beard shaved off too....😅
Fancier than 99% of all haircuts
Man, that fancy hair is on point! Great tips for us DIYers as aways!
I'm a newbie to all of this having just started learning this stuff during my transition from full time job to these sorts of projects. I can't wait to get corners like yours! Thanks for the info! You are helping more people than you realize.
I'm watching from the UK. I'm looking for some tutorials for a long time to paint my old doors. Finally, I got the confidence to paint my door. Thanks a lot.
came here for fancy hair and was not disappointed. also the tip was useful.
The Zinsser BIN primer is fantastic. Did a remodel on a home with a lot of stained oak cabinets, and some painted pine beams with knots bleeding through. The BIN sealed up everything beautifully.
Spot on. That's how I do it, and my customers are always very pleased with the results.
Have a great day.
Yes! The Bin shellac primer is amazing! I was just introduced to this and was super impressed. A bit pricey, but 1 coat on bare wood and dries in minutes... totally worth it!
And definitely digging the fancy hair!
It is...its a must have for painters...
Great tips in a short cohesive video. I learned some of these steps the hard way. Definitely improved over time.
I just found your channel recently and I wanted to let you know you earned a subscription. It was short and to the point, full of information, you didn't have a long introduction and the best part is you didn't have a 2 minute, in-video, ad.
Thanks buddy
Love seeing shop level quality on trim work, makes a home feel high end.
I agree!
shop level quality wouldn't have blown out miters and uneven planes...i think this is more for home owner mistake fixing
Nice "fancy hair"...Thank you for this tip...Much needed for the average Do-It-Yourself home owner!
Thanks for checking out the vid🍻
Thanks for sharing! I didn't know it's best to use an oil based primer on bare wood. I'm adding that to my home depot list.
These videos are really cool. I’ve been watching a bunch of them. Thanks for making them.
Thank you for putting out such useful and well-crafted videos!
You often enough give us good food for thought and make us have better results. Thank you
Thanks for watching Randy🍻
Needed this video after a few crown molding miter fails. (And no I didn't cope bc I sucked at that 😂). Thanks as always. Your tip on that Elmer's wood filler made my baseboards turn out the best last year. Appreciate your vids!
Great technique. Awesome recommendations on materials. Cool hair. Trifecta.
Wow I'm really glad I found your channel. This is incredibly helpful!! Thank you!
Outstanding. Gonna use all of this.
Wow dude, the cinematography of this video looks great. Well done. I’ve enjoyed your channel for a long time. Cheers from a fellow Canadian
Now I have to come up with a project to try this out, looks great👍🏻
Loved the fancy hair lol. Great tips, and the outcome looked perfect. Thanks!
Love the haircut and the new setup too. Good work!
Thankyou for your video, i am about to do all the trim on my house.. Dont listen to stupid comments, great video
This is my full time job on the new build plots go from house to house repairing all kinds of damage it’s unreal some of the rash harsh finishing we come across. Good job bud 👍
excellent work. Thanks for the tip
Dang that actually looks really good. Nice shop too
This will come in handy. Many thanks!
Nice, Museum interior finish quality. Time for the white glove test 😂. Nice YT channel 👍👌
Great information. Really enjoy your videos. Very professional. Thank you.
I thought he had missed a bit but it was a spot on my screen 😆thank for the instruction as I frame a lot of my work and utilise old frames sometimes 😀
Great video. Super helpful.
Wish I had that much hair...
Even though ALL my miters look great 100% of the time, thanks for these tips.
Top quality advice thanks
Excellent video. Thanks
Great video. The caulking video actually helped me out a bunch recently, keep on making these.
Cheers John, that’s great to hear
Wow. Thank you
This was a Fantastic information and a well done video THANK YOU for making it! Yes I’d watch more. 😊
Useful tips. You did choose a pretty simple profile for the demonstration. Most old profiles are much harder to fill and sand. But it's fair game I'd say. Thanks.
Why I always use caulk instead of wood filler (30 years as a painter): wood filler is not pliable while vinyl or hybrid caulking is. There is a reason why these corners look like that… they are still moving/settling. That wood filler will crack within a month while the caulk will flex and last longer.
You need to glue the joint first, that will stop any relative movement between the trim pieces, then the wood filler should work perfectly.
@@hyperion112 That obviously didn't work the first time... the wall is still moving. Use caulking.
@@Fortylat obviously the joint wasn't glued, caulking miters is for flippers and DIYers not for professionals.
@@hyperion112 Pro for 30 years. You are delusional. A DIYer is who would use wood filler on something that is actively moving. I have seen glued joints move all the time because when a 3,000 ton house moves down 1/4" the glue, surprisingly, doesn't hold. No amount of glue is going to stop the house from continuing to settle. You're obviously a hack that walks away without ever thinking about the harm you do to your work.
Walls do move, but never enough to open up a mitre. If a mitre is opening or moving, it's because it wasn't glued correctly. Wood filler is absolutely the go to for trim, not caulk, trim does not ever move enough if glued and pinned properly
This tutorial was so helpful, however, I couldn't tear my eyes away from your fancy hair!!!
Wow thanks now I can fix on my own
--won't mention the hair, just that you rock! Thanks for the video.
Great tips
Your videos are so helpful, they’re addicting. I started one and have linked to 3 others.
Thanks for watching Jane! It's appreciated:)
Great instructional video!
Nice hair :) hanks for the run through it will come in handy when I get to that stage in my project.
As a painter “carpenters”using caulk is the bane of my life. They get all giddy with it and want to use it for everything and I have to spend far longer than it would take to fill it properly removing the caulk before I can do anything else. Caulk is just for angle joins and can’t be sanded so put it on smooth or just don’t put it on
Thank you for putting quotes around carpenters. I can assure you that as a carpenter, I would never fill a flat surface with caulk. The guys that do that are hacks that are trying to hide their horrendous cuts from everyone.
Perfect...as a painter,this is the Exact product and technique I use. As for the primer, advance works well. Advance is a hybrid paint (water based with oil properties). Never had a problem on raw wood with it on small areas. However, you don't want to use it too much because it's quite a bit more expensive than regular primer. I will say..Elmer's wood filler is an essential in my work bag!
First video of yours I watched. I appreciate the info. and the fancy hair!
Good info.
I'm comin back just to see the next fancy hair!
Enjoyed your video very much. How do you fix wood joints that aren’t painted?
great information. thanks Don
Always a fan of one more blow and a final wipe!!! 😂😂😂
Thanks always enjoy your videos
Hey, thank you!
That's some fancy hair you have bro. Great tips!
This was awesome
YOUR Hair is Definitely Fancy... I Love It !!! ♥
perfect timing! thanks for posting.😀
Best wishes!
Love the hair! Very fancy!!!
I've been doing this type of restoration/refresh work for years. I use carpenters wood glue first. That's the key to making these joints solid and able to take a good door slamming.
Exactly. A mitre that is NOT glued is NOT going to stay tight. Filling a mitre joint is only a temporary fix for it WILL open up with time.
Mine are over a hundred years old. They aren't glued. And there's no gaps. Although I think gluing them is a great idea.
@@msingerdesignsllc3667 Fair enough. My house is still settling and I've had to fix four of them so far.
I have also used wood glue.
Yes, the problem with wood filler is that they are just sand/glass powders. They don't expand or contract when temperature or humidity changes, while the wood swells and shrinks, that's how it would crack in dry seasons.
You’re a time and life saver!
You look fine, great tips and such carisma. Thank you for sharing.
Fancy hair! And thank you very much for the video.
Love the fancy hair!
Thank you so much!!!
Once again... AWESOME!!!
Thanks so much!!!
Your hair looks great!
You are smart man
Love the fancy hair 😀
Good looking hair cut
Thanks!
🍻cheers and thank u
Nice, good info 👍🏼
The Zinsser BIN primer is the best especially if you have to cover Smoke damage. It was incredible. I have not used spray cans of it but gallons and 5 gallon buckets. But also use a good respirator if using to cover large areas or whole rooms/ ceilings. Expensive but well worth it in the long run!
Hair is on point..
Hey Mr fancy hair!
good vid! Thank you
Great video
Great video, and sir, your hair is *very* fancy and I approve 👌
Had to watch the video twice because the 1st time I was distracted by the fancy hair.. 🤣 Great video! Precise and concise!
🤣it’s my new watch time strategy 🤗
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Genius! 🤣
Dude your shop is beautiful
I noticed your fancy hair! Smashed the like for the great tips before I commented…great, concise tips as per usual!
i didn't know that. thx!
wood filler and paint, make me the carpenter I ain't
I use Bondo. It is structurally strong and will adhere the two pieces together plus fill the gap then finish as shown in the video.
I like using bondo too. Good stuff for projects like this.👍
Gracias señor
Great Hair!
amazing ❤
Those are some sweet mitres right there.
I'm watching what you are doing and concentrating on what you are saying. Sorry, I don't give a hoot about your hair. Great video as always. I sure LOVE watching a real CRAFTSMAN ply his specialty. THANK YOU.
