Time:
4-5 hours
Cost:
Under $100
Skill Level:
Moderate
Tools List:
Miter saw
23-gauge pin nail gun
Measuring tape
Rag
Caulking gun
Shopping List:
1/16” x 1 3/8” primed finger jointed base cap molding
23-gauge headless pin nails
Wood glue
Wood filler
Fine grit sandpaper
Caulk
1x4 scrap wood for a gauge block
Steps:
1. Measure the height of the space between the chair rail and the baseboard using a measuring tape.
2. The base cap molding frame should be centered all around the room. An easy way to measure, take two pieces of 1x4 and place them against the top of the baseboard and the bottom of the chair rail. The distance between the two blocks is a good height for the frame.
3. To get the horizontal measurements of the frame, measure the entire width of your wall. Divide the measurement up evenly and allow for spacing between each frame. Using a piece of 1x4 as a gauge block between each frame is a good way to separate the frames evenly.
4. To cut the vertical portion of the frames, set the stop on the outfeed of a miter saw and place the base cap molding just beyond the stop.
5. Set the miter saw to a 45-degree angle, hold the molding tight to the saw and make the first cut. Repeat the process for the necessary amount of vertical sides.
6. Reverse the angle of the miter saw to the opposite 45-degree angle.
7. Set the outfeed stop to desired length for the horizontal pieces, press the molding firmly against the miter saw and make a cut. Repeat the process for the necessary amount of horizontal sides.
8. Take two vertical molding sides and two horizontal molding sides and create a frame.
9. Use wood glue to connect each corner and a 23-gauge pin nail gun with headless pin nails to tack all of the connections together.
10. Be sure to remove any excess glue immediately with a rag. Repeat the process for the necessary amount of frames.
11. Let the frames dry for ten minutes.
12. Lay out the frames in place using a piece of 1x4 as a gauge block to set the spacing from the chair rail, the baseboard, and between each frame side by side.
13. Use wood glue and a 23-gauge pin nail gun with headless pin nails to tack up the molding frames to the wall.
14. To finish off the look of the frames, fill in any holes with wood filler. Then sand it down using a fine grit sandpaper.
15. If there are any imperfections between the inside and the outside of the frames in relation to the wall, fill in those gaps with caulking using a caulking gun.
16. Paint to desired color.

Best DIY videos on the net. Hands down. Thanks guys.
Great tip on cutting the lengths just a little longer for efficiency in labor. Great video.
That sawr looks great
anyone else notice the pin nail go through the face of the moulding?
Gumba Sal in my mind i said "noob"
are you telling me y'all don't every shoot a nail through the face?
yep not good :-) but nice work in the end anyway.
ricochet off other brad...
Trevor Eller I heard face nailing the corners of trim is strong!
Tom is my favorite of the bunch. He has a calm attitude and a soothing voice that I could listen to all day long.
I don't know about you guys but i'm more impressed with that amazing saw.
Big $ ملوك الترجمة
It's a $1500 saw that has just as many if not fewer features than a $300 saw. Festool is more hype than anything and nowadays people seem to be more concerned with hype over functionality
I was just thinking the same thing. I want a saw like that with the side extensions!
Your kidding right ? It’s a POS
Tommy is a genius.
Tommy nailed it again. Cool dude 😎
End result looked really great!
man you are awesome , i had pleasure watching you working ( fantastic work )
Muy bonito y elegante, lo recomiendo da mucha elegancia en el sitio que lo quieras usar
NICE JOB TOMMY
SUPER trabajo .EXCELENTE.😀😀
I recognized that the pad tom is using for his knees is from home depot garden center. I've been using one at work, much more comfortable than knee pads that bunch up pants and get sweaty.
Such a beautiful day that day isn't it 😀
Nail went through. Glad to see that happens to seasoned vets, too
yes, I prefer using miter clamps + wood glue for this job; if you misalign it you can fix it immediately, unlike nailing.
$1500 German-made FESTOOL compound sliding mitre saw to cut that little trim. I'm jealous AF!
Going to do this on some IKEA Kallax benches I’m making for my kitchen banquette!
that a crazy miter saw stand
Man, I love wainscotting and even if this isn't the traditional type it looks just great! Might even try doing this myself.
No, it looks cheap and low quality.
Kinda OT. I installed wood floors and painted the 1/4 round white to match the baseboard. Looks so much better than natural wood.

Thumbs up if you think this is a horrible change and want the full episodes back here on CZcams!
4:56 peek a boo
What is that foldout workbench/sawhorse @4:27 ?
Woman grows a pair of horns at 6:09 :D
OMG rofl
She turned into Dr. Hannibal
Lmao 🤣
snarlingrabiddog5150 😂🤣😂
Can I use half round moulding for wall frames?
How do you calculate your horizontal measurements?
That saw is legit
well several questions one the measurement was how long of the wall? Divided into ? so that you had how many panels? Then from top to bottom what 6" from the bottom and 6" from the top ? The frames were 2 ' x 2 ' Did you just take the center from there move out to the other panels?
What's a sawr?
I can't be the only one that likes the before two-tone at 6:07 better than the new paint at 6:38... am I? Looked light and airy before, now it's dark and gloomy....
Even i was thinking the same thing. Dark on the top and light on the bottom?
I was with you at first, but then after looking at it, I think now I prefer the darker top. I'm a fan of older Victorian and early 20th century architecture and style, and with the darker top it has, quite honestly, the "gloomy" look reminiscent of gas lamps and hard woods. Both look good, I just prefer the darker appearance.
Painting everything the same color in the end seemed to defeat the purpose of all of the work that he did. WTF?
good job my friend ^_^
Oh no! Blowout at 4:57! Hate when that happens!
Good eye.
Why go “a little past the stop” on the vertical bars?
I see you were using a Kreg mobile workbench. Do you consider it to be worth purchasing for the DIY homeowner?
KSLKSL No! It's way too over priced. If you're just a weekend DIY'r then I'd suggest a cheaper alternative. Black and decker make some sustainable mobile workbenches at a quarter of the cost of a kreg.
2:06 Nice sar
Hey that was in Cincinnati only about 100 miles from me lol
A nail went trough the molding @ 4:59 😁🙈
They made the painting way more difficult by adding the paneling first
Paint fills the gaps
I was thinking that too. But, some may find it messy to prime and paint all those frames on the ground. Regardless, I think you would need at least one top coat of paint after they are installed because you have to fill the nail holes after you attached them to the walls. I’m doing the same job tomorrow and I will just prime and paint everything after I nail them to the wall.
The style now is to then paint the whole wall, including the trim, the same color.
Don't forget to paint the plugs when you paint. Lol
I hope they bought the crew some Skyline Chili. Go Reds!
Why did I think it would be anything but Festool?
Yes, $100 in materials and $1,000 in tools. The story of DIY. :)
How come I've never seen a blooper real? I'm sure it'd be funny.
AKA wainscoting??
Wait - sand, fill, and paint after already installed on a nice wall? Why not before?!
Installation of the frames will create additional areas to sand, fill, and paint. Perhaps better to do all of them at the same time?
Learn to listen. They said at the end they are painting the top blue and the bottom white. Maybe you missed that part
what's the point of having a stop block on the mitre saw if you're just going to go past it?
You did not watch the rest and listen to his explanation.
what, you mean the part where he says "so i don't have to continually turn the saw every time i wan to make a left- and a right-hand cut"? what does that mean? what does turning the blade have to do with not using the stop block as a stop block?
Well using the stop block was unnecessary since he just wanted to get a longer cut, not necessarily a precise cut. He could have set the stop at a longer distance to waste less wood overall, but it wasn't necessary since he was going to lop the other end off at a different angle anyway. Getting a precise cut wasn't necessary, just making sure there was enough excess hanging off was the only necessity.
He used the stop block while making the second set of cuts to get them all the same. The first set of cuts was just to get him close with a little bit of extra on the end.
he nailed straight into drywall Will that hold?
Yes it does. The little frames weight almost nothing.
He's just nailing those straight into the drywall? will that hold?
well.. I mean .. it's basically a picture frame without a picture in it, so .. yeah .. it should.. if you hit it with a piece of furniture tho
still34u true
chris b cool
It’s Lath and plaster, most nails will hit the lath.
It will hold; been there, done that. After 15 years still holding strong.
What's that moulding called?
Basecap molding. Usually comes in 1 3/8 wide or 3/4 wide.
It would have been more helpful if he had explained how he determined the different sizes of the frames to place on different length walls.
Choose a spacing you want between each frame... I used 4" everywhere in my house. Now. If the length of your wall is 144" and you want 7 boxes, you will actually have 7+1 space (8 in total). Do 8 x 4, this equal 32". Now, do 144" - 32" = 112". Divide 112" by 7 (because we have 7 frames), this equal 16". So this mean, each frame will have a width of 16" using a spaicing of 4"... If you do the following, 16" + 16" + 16" + 16" + 16" + 16" + 16" + 4" + 4" + 4" + 4" + 4" + 4" + 4" + 4", this is equal to 144". You could of done 5 boxes, 20 boxes, it is up to you and what looks good! Sometime on a room, the window look center but it's not. In my kid's bedroom, the space on the left of the window is 52" while the space on the right is 48" so you have to cheat a little bit.
@@DavidLucBelanger I have a question for you. I am doing my daughters bedroom and there are three long walls. Is it more important that each panel is the same size, and the space between the same throughout, or keep the space the same and vary the panels? I have two walls where I could keep the panels the same spread out a few inches between, but this one wall isnt even close to allowing equal panels. do i just cheep the panel size on that one wall? I figured with all if the furniture who would even ntice any of this. What do you think?
@@elpato598 I would keep the space between the panels the same. Like you said, you will have furniture hiding everything. Also, different spacings will show more then different boxes. Every wall is different anyway so the boxes' size will always be different. Keep the same spacing.
@@DavidLucBelanger That makes sense. Thanks for your help.
3:41 Metric !!
Michael Gabriel It's a German product. My Japanese Makita tracksaw has metric markings as well.
Wall frames are supposed to follow the layout of the windows.
Tom does not give a f anymore.
I think it's more about the show's producers wanting to appeal to people's desire to save money.
the man used epoxy to fix rot in past show. tom is dead to me. lol
Charles Cho lol
Jimmy Schmidt That's what I'm saying! Lol
so you wanna spend less then $100 on simulated panels with molding ... first go get about 400 headless nails because your gonna need them (4 for each corner of 14 then 3 for each side while attaching it to the wall 16x14=224 + 12x14=168 (392) nails ... then what you wanna do is shoot the nails thru the face of the molding and there you have yourself some simulated panels with molding. Thanks tommy ... non joking i think you are a true craftsmen and your very talented... good work minus the nail going thru the face of the molding
that saw is a festool.
brown chicken brown cow
4:07 That's how you loose fingers.
Thought the same thing. Quick to stick his fingers in the saw.
We transformed the whole wall for under a hundred dollars...*covers up full Festool mitre station setup, headless pinner and compressor.... 😀👍
Just as you shouldn't cut towards yourself with a knife.. I think you shouldn't be pointing that nailgun towards your hands. It's that single one time in the year that it doesn't go as planned. A nail in your hand must be just as uncomfortable as a proper cut with a knife. I've been once in the hospital because of a crazy knife cut in my hands, since then on i'm very careful, just wished that i had been before that accident.
Why not just paint them before hanging them on the wall.
This video shows the cheap way out! if your doing wainscoting do it right either using MDF sheets or even those pre-made panels and build everything out.
Gazooo29 the title clearly states simulated panels lol of course it's the cheap way out read the video next time before posting your opinion.
Not everyone has the skill to DIY or even likes the traditional wainscoting. And it still looks good and is a great inexpensive way to dress up your wall.
Did anyone else cringe when they saw someone with dangling jewelry operating a power tool?
I can't believe these methods are very old this installation is very slow
Dont like the outlets inside the framed pieces looks like it doesnt belong, Brass Floor Outlet or just lose em.
Under 100 dollars, wait a minute what about the 1000 dollar festool saw.
Not if he went to Home Depot did it get done for under $100 There prices are insane and they don’t care. That trim is $2.35 a ft. I have perfect credit over 800 there rate on my contractors account card is 23% and that’s a good rate for them. I’ve seen it 30% Do you really need to beat down a blue collar trying to feed his family contractor at that ridiculous rate. If his job runs long and can’t get paid until he’s done your bill comes in and he just lost money on that job. Thx a lot.
Support your local lumber yards F Home Depot it’s all cheap overpriced crap. Sorry had to vent. Nice job
Or do you want to discuss the geniuses that work there ?
No need for headless nails when making panels. Waste of time.
Just use “mitre bond” two part fast curing glue (cyanoacrylate)
Also, don’t use nails to fix panels to wall, just use “no more nails” or whatever it’s called where you live. Building adhesive is what I mean, in a caulking gun.
Doing this means you don’t have to waste time filling any nail holes. 👍
And when we're done, we'll rip everything off the wall, 'cause even grandma thinks, all that fake-panel-stuff is old-fashioned and a total waste!
Terrible technique on the miter saw.
Depress button to start blade spinning.
Cut through stock.
Let go of button until blade comes to stop while still in turntable base.
Raise non-spinning saw assembly.
That, at least, is what beginners need to do.
Bullshit. It looks ugly. White makes the frames hardly visible, might as well take them off.
Not necessarily. While I agree that it doesn't look very good, the frames do at least provide shadow lines that add visual interest.
Don’t understand why the woman was helping out instead of the man. I would have sent my wife shopping like all woman like to do better than learning how to apply molding with another man.
Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out.
Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!!
