MDF was wood... great way of putting it, very true. I was nodding along through that part!
Thanks!
Thank you for another great video. "Fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down." This quote applies to entirely to many of the moldings that are available.
LOL, Agreed.
I agree with the 4 inch rule. I have 8 foot ceilings and put 4 inch casings around my doors and windows. I probably could have even gone a little larger, like 4.5" or maybe even 5". I definitely wouldn't have gone smaller.
Nice thanks for sharing.
hit every branch in the ugly tree...lol awesome video as always my friend.cheers
Thanks for watching.
So helpful to review the basics of size and shape. Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching.
Currently trying to reconcile my desire to have a mid-century modern styled house with my fondness for craftsman style interior.
Hmm, that's a real struggle. Good luck.
Another excellent video. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Great video again. Thanks for that
Of course!
Great videos thank you.
Thanks so much.
Don’t buy MDF is right on the money. Maybe you can get away with it for crown in some circumstances (if it does work out count yourself lucky) but for base and casings it’s worse than bad. Thanks for the good advice, and for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
MDF moulding are prevalent in cornfield castles and breeder boxes here on the East Coast
Yep, here too.
I like the long videos. I learn a lot from them.
Good to hear! I'll do more.
@@BrentHull It would have been cool to see the different molding styles related to their historical background. I've watched all your molding videos, perhaps that was mentioned in another one of your videos. Appreciate what you do!
@@heartwormskillcats8357 Brent made a video highlighting our different collections which may be helpful for you czcams.com/video/F_oXl29WEjo/video.html&t
@@KuikenBrothers Awesome, thanks a lot!
I noticed when I had custom moldings made for my master bedroom that installation was a nightmare (house is nice but not terribly well made). Small, thin, MDF moldings allow them to bend and adapt to poorly made houses (uneven walls, 89 or 91 degree angles etc). Easier to install but not at all impressive. When I see a tall moulding that is well installed, it tells me I'm walking into a well made structure. Sea Island Georgia has some historic detailed moulding plans that are mesmerizing (Cloister) with some awesome moulding in the Georgian room. First time I really was able to appreciate what goes into building a proper home. Awesome video.
Cool, thanks for your comments. I agree, it makes a big difference.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Leave the painting comments out of the mix, your out of your element there. And why so many high end houses get mdf I'll never know. As to your your points on moldings, all very on point and solid advice. I just whish my builders would catch on, I'm done trying to explain how quality is achieved, by crap molding get crap end result.
Amen!!
Seeing as I have contractors special ones I will say yes.😁
LoL thanks!
If I have a sample of a molding, how do I replicate it or find a match?
Custom mill shops can grind a knife to match most moldings. If the molding is less than 20 years you should be able to find it on the shelf of local lumberyards.
Pretty much every home of almost every value built since the 50s in the Uk uses one of 6 standard mouldings, the merchants only sell these standard mouldings and rarely anything else. Makes it easy to match in when doing an extension or loft/garage conversion but it’s real bland
Wow, I didn't know. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. MDF is just glue the sawdust from real wood.
Agreed! bad!
"Don't use MDF..."
Thinking about my polysterene foam molding... WHEW!
Avoid at all costs. Thanks.
Something Windsor?
That would be a good molding!!
I personally hate painted molding. If you insist on painted crown molding, why not MDF? It won't get abused like base and casings.
Hardwood has gotten very expensive over the years and has driven people away from it. For a decent sized new home today, you can easily pay $70k or more for solid hardwood kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and other built-ins. As far as large frilly crown moldings, I think that trend has passed for most. Simple lines looks cleaner and you need 10' ceilings to make large crown look normal anyway.
Thanks for your comments.
In General, MDF moldings are an attempt to lower cost, which is fine. However it usually also means the profiles are not crisp, the design is not best and shadow lines are diminished. Crown may require crisp lines more than other moldings because they are farthest away from the eyes. I also hate off-gassing.
Poplar and soft maple are fairly cheap in our market. My 2 cents.
1905 moldings?
Yes? Not sure what your question is.
@@BrentHull sorry. replied in a hurry. and I have no idea what my question was. :) but I am looking for more information on moldings used in the beginning of the 20th century. Also, thanks for the book recos on your website!
I HATE HATE HATE baby Howe. They keep making that crap thinner and thinner
Agreed! Thanks
