An old carpenter showed me a trick you might appreciate after coping a corner like this. What you do is attach a piece of finer sandpaper to a scrap piece with the the same profile trim you’re using then rub it along the cut line for a perfect finish. You always have your CA around for gluing so I’m sure it would be easy enough to do. Great videos man!
Brilliant
Alright. This one is going to the job with me tomorrow. Been coping crown for 3 days now
An old timer at a company I worked for as an apprentice taught me this trick many years ago! Works great. Especially for someone such as myself who never had enough patience to master my cope cuts. Perfect finish every time!
Awesome idea
As just a home owner I do some small trim work around the home. I thought my work was good enough. After watching your videos I feel like ripping all my work off the walls.
Exactly!!! Haaaa
Me too. Keep working at it because I’m going to keep getting better myself
@@briand2614 Caulk and paint make a carpenter what he ain’t my friend lol
Me to,unfortunately.Every corner of my old house was so out of plumb that I spent more time on doing the corner joints then I did any other part of the renovations.And I still don’t like the look.
😂 that’s how I feel, but right now I’m installing ceramic tile so guess what, I’ll ripped off my trim and going to redue it all, so I been watching lots of his videos to learn more tricks
After watching a bunch of "How to cope" videos, I am so happy I found this one. It's nice watching and listening to an articulate professional do the job without boring gaps of whizbang in between the important parts. Right to the point and I love that reverse 45° miter backsaw move on the straight part. A super time saver and thanks again for an outstanding educational video.
I totally agree. After viewing a number of coping vids, this is by far the best one.
Hahaha!!! I need to re-do EVERY moulding in my home because of you!!! DAMN YOU, FINISH CARPENTRY!!!!
Love your work, young man!! Really enjoy watching. And I also love how ridiculously laid back you are...just like my son, and NOTHING like me!!
Great job. Thanks!
I was taught as an apprentice in the UK (1959) to stand in the doorway of a room and plan the cuts so that you never looked directly into a joint. In an old house with a ballroom in it the skirtings were 16 inches high and very ornate. Back in those days we didn't have skill saws and the coping saw was second nature. We also had to leave on the top of the skirting just sand down the squared off piece and rub candle wax along the edges so any errors pushed out the wax and scrape up with a chisel. Also as it was timber we tapped the end of the coped piece to bed it is before cutting the next mitre....... I like to say that those were the days....... but looking back I cant sadly.
Yes m8 if you're standing in the doorway looking into a room, always start on the far wall opposite the door, can't go wrong, everything scribes into that skirt, square edge both ends
I'm a working carpenter, and I come home after a day of working, and watch you do carpentry. Thanks! ;)
Another here!
Really like the way you inform listeners of How-to exactly, very precise and acurate. Very Helpful.
I just want to thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I am finishing my basement and will start the trim soon. I have been watching your videos- among others- you are an excellent teacher. Thank you again.
Joel A. - I am a home owner and have struggle with baseboard corners, you do a great job simplifying and explaining the process.
A fine young man for sharing his knowledge.
Just did the floors and baseboards in my house and you sir made me look like a pro! I love that CA glue you use too, it made it so easy to get the cuts flush. Seriously it was awesome of you to share these tips. Thank you!
Your method and video saved me a lot of time over the way I used to do it (tracing the profile on the back). It fits better too. Thanks for the video and you are one of the few that stresses safety on videos.
Your the man bro. I've been a jack of all trades for years mostly rough framing residential and commercial and siding . I like what you said in the other video about mastering a skill . Finish work makes it all come together after the framers and the rock guys . After all the phases of construction . A good finishan can make it look great. You saved me a lot of caulking and paint prep , and my work will look way better . Thanks keep the videos coming
So that’s what a clean cope looks like. Love your work. It’s helped me with my crown and base projects.
Thank you so, so much. I have had major frustration when I have measured exactly and am still left with a gap, then mitering in increments. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. I am striving for near perfect niters.
It’s really nice to see some people still are craftsman. I always look and have not seen coped corners in homes in forever even in very nice homes!
What a skill! Nice to see young men who carry on these old carpentry traditions.
Thank you for the tip about the cancer. You've helped me and someone else... :)
Thanks, great video. In all my DIY years I've never tried molding but this weekend I tried it out. Your video just helped considerably to figure it out...I appreciate it.
Tried it, worked great, thanks! Just a home owner doing his own carpentry work for 40 years.
Good tip I have coped base that way for well over 30 years. You are the first one on CZcams that I seen do it that way. Most people use coping saw and fiddle and feness to get a straight line. On wide base it's the fastest way to go. Great job
Thank you Rick. I try to teach the traditional hand tool methods as every diy'er should learn them before progressing to power tools. That way when there is no power on site you can keep working. Have you bought a Studhawk saw guide set yet - you will be amased how accurate they are and if you want to splice something in situ then you can't put a chop saw onto a fixed architrave. Studhawk saw guides are great for studwork, architraves, plastic pipes, guttering, mouldings and woodwork joints such as half housings tenons etc.
Coping internal joints on baseboards is the correct way for several reasons:-plasterer's never plaster perfectly square.A coped cut opens up less with shrinkage and yes MDF shrinks often more than solid wood which is up to 3% on length. So when carpenters say the wood has to be aclimatised in the room for 6 weeks it is for good reason !
Sorry I've never seen anyone use a coping saw like that or have to file afterwards
I'm doing the base in a couple of rooms and using that exact base so your video is exactly what I needed. I've coped before but really didn't know all the ends and outs and your video is perfect. Thanks.
The weather looks awesome out there. Great tip and advice!
Thank you! Just what I need for the super off inner corners!!! 65 year old home, multiple previous baseboards etc.
I'm a novice and coping, while relatively easy to do just kills my time! However, seeing you explain why you cope the joints makes absolute sense and couldve saved me a lot of time trying to get tighter corners! Thank you for the awesome video and also the tip about the mdf!
Excellent demonstration. This video brought together two from other youtubers that weren't helping me 100% as a raw beginner and so I messed up three pieces. This one filled in all the gaps in my knowledge and skills. I made my first practice corner piece after this video and it was so satisfying to get this process right in one go.
Tried this after giving the tracing method a go. And this is brilliant way of doing the corners by far quicker and easier. Thanks for the video.
Excellent hands on demonstration, including advice about wearing the proper equipment to protect eyes and lungs. Many thanks!
So well spoken, succinct and accurate. Thanks for sharing
I really enjoy watching your videos. You are a very good instructor and appreciate your expertise. After watching your videos I find myself going through my house and seeing how those that were part of the construction did not take their time and do a good job but I now know how to correct their mistakes! Thanks again!
I'm with ya Paul Jenkins! He's not like some of these dudes that either don't explain things well in their vids, or go on and on and on and on, or drag the video out for 15-20 minutes (talkin in circles or going over unnecessary shyt) instead of 4-5 minutes...i'm sure he doesn't swing my way...but I just had to throw tha compliment out there....MANUEL, BRO YOU ARE SOOOO SOOOO SEXY!!!! I HOPE WHOEVER YOU ARE WITH IS TREATING YOU THE WAY YOU DESERVE TO BE TREATED!!! LIKE A KING!!! WOW WHOEVER THAT PERSON IS.....IS LUCKY A F!! ALRITE IM GUNNA END THIS B 4 I GET TOO DIRTY N DESCRIPTIVE :D
best demo ive seen using this technique! thanks for posting.
Love your work, and your delivery. You are like the Bob Ross of carpentry.👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the nice clear teaching and for sharing your experience with others.
Wow eye opener on the mdf. Thank you, seriously!
Your are clearly one of the best on CZcams, thanks
I’m not very experienced nor a carpenter but I do have a tip from personal experience I would like to share on coping. Using a DREMEL tool with a 60 grit or lower drum sanding attachment you can touch those edges of trim faster, easier and closer than the file. WEAR YOUR RESPIRATOR when doing this due to high airborne mdf dust!
This has been the best coping tutorial that I've seen! Thanks for all the great info!
Thanks for the excellent instruction!! You're a great teacher as well as a craftsman.
Thanks for the tips.
I was very frustrated with my miters until I noticed it was the saw. I figured out how to calibrate the saw to 90 and 45 using your yellow angle finder. Also using my grinder for coping.
Thanks for the extra safety emphasis, I never took it seriously before but I will from now on. 🙂
Thank god I was just about to do mine in the new place and decided to "watch some youtube videos for ideas" before going ahead... this was 2 weeks ago, now I'm slowly doing mine and applying your tips into my trim adventure... I've done trim before but of course 45d everything, lol. Thanks @Finish Carpentry TV.
Perfect coping skills, this is the next level carpentry!
Great videos, learning a ton of stuff from you and saving myself having to replace lots of trim due to trial and error fails! keep the videos coming. Also, great to see a young guy minding details and doing things the right way rather than just pounding through stuff in a lazy, sloppy way.
I have been watching lots of your videos and just want to thank you, I have learned so much.
Keep it up
Great job. I have learned a lot from you and am able to improve the look of my house room by room. Thanks.
Thank you. This made my project simpler and much faster. I appreciate you sharing your experience!
Thanks for this. Getting ready to put in 600 ft of baseboard and you explained it very well.
Nice work, thanks for showing us how it's done. Also, didn't know the dangers of mdf, thanks for the info
Excellent Video! I didn't know about the formaldehyde in MDF. The tip about doing the straight part on the mitersaw, sweet!
I use that little trick when I'm cutting tall baseboards too!
Great video. Ive done more shoe molding but now ive got a better idea to cope. Nice to see a pro draw out room measurements. I remember doing that but I was also nervous so i drew out closet measurements and after all those fit and none of that running back and forth I drew out all the measurements for the other houses i trimmed out. Thanks for sharing chief
Another great video! something else that is good about coped joints is they stay tight with seasonal changes
Corey Young They don't, it's just that you can't see right to the back of the joint.
Exactly so in trying to do an internal mitre you are leaving the joint susceptable to shrinking if you don't use a coped cut.
just started watching today.; I like the way that you take your time , think EVERYTHING out. And use proper tools for each job your doing. Iv been doing finish work for 5 years and im learning cool shit from you. Every ol' timer has there way of doing things.m You have as fresh, young approach to the same work I do.
Thanks for the explanation of "Why Miter". And thanks too for the "safety" information.
It's fun watching your channel grow, keep up the good work.
Yeah what I learned is your skilled Craftsman thanks for sharing your knowledge in your field
Man, I watched this video a year or two ago and saved the video - sure came in handy this weekend trimming out the master bedroom.
I love your drawing of all the corners!!!
Thank You I had to watch this again, I’m putting 3 1/4 base boards in my house Thanks for showing me how it’s done
I'm a caulking expert but I love what you do.
The video, audio and editing of your channel has improved by leaps and bounds. Great work
I just moved from Northern Texas watch your show frequently I've been a carpenter for 35 years excellent education keep up the great work stay away from this hundred-dollar paint brushes
Totally didn’t know about the MDF having formaldehyde in it. Makes complete sense about it causing cancer. I just cut a bunch and didn’t wear a mask or eye protection and my nose and eyes were killing me. I would love to do wood baseboards in our next house. Thanks for the lesson. I have a lot of baseboards to cut next week and this has taught me something
Awesome technique! Thanks for the back cutting tip.
I’ve been a custom cabinet maker, woodworker for almost 40 years, and I never cope anything unless there’s existing Molding on the wall that I don’t feel like tearing off. The argument could go either way, but I gotta tell you you appear to be a pretty darn good teacher and you do some sweet work well at least that Cope job I saw looks really nice. 🏆🏆😎😎🌮🌮
You might wonder why I added a 🌮 well. Duh, everybody loves tacos. 😉
I've never heard of coping, I'll never install trim like this, but did I watch the whole video? Hell yes!
Your videos are amazing. We are doing all kinds of stuff to our house thanks for the inspiration
I keep a five gallon bucket with me on the trailer all the time, just in case there's not one on site. I lay the base across the bucket, which is upside down, that way I can use my knee to hold the base instead of struggling to hold it with my other hand. It's always worked out nice for us, I know everyone is different, but just thought I'd throw it out for anyone that might be interested in trying it. You gotta great channel man, full of useful information, I appreciate what you're doing. You've showed me quite a few new things, especially on the wainscoting.
Great video. You explain details really clearly, Like using the tools properly. Plus you have an excellent attitude toward the details including the use of PPE, which is important in general but really important when working with MDF. New subscriber!
Like your calm explanations,I subscribed.
Wasn’t aware MDF was so dangerous.Thanks for the heads up.
I just gave this a shot with a few inside corners, come out perfect. Awesome tutorial man
Great instruction for a beginner like myself. Please keep them coming
Thank you, great example working GREAT !!
I do a 15 degree backcut....but you share excellent advice. Thank you
You provide the best and most efficient instructions! Make it look way to easy lol.
Very nice video and perfectly explained for coping baseboards. thank you
Another great video!
Thanks man! Right on and God bless you!
Ive been coping my baseboards not too long ago... to be honest, since you posted this video, cause unfortunately on our jobs we have to rush rush rush
But i had enough doing 45 degree cuts and 90% of the time i have to fill it up with alex caulk, but one day i literally got a few cheap baseboards at home depot and practiced at home over a weekend just to be faster on the job site and since that weekend ive never did a 45 degree cut, i always cope my trims and it only takes 10 more seconds just to make my job so much nicer
So after a year or so from posting this video
I sincerely thank you, thanks to you ive been installing trims like ive never did and i can say that thanks to you i am very proud of my finished product
Your attention to detail is wonderful. Around here the finish guys cut two 45 degree and shove em into place then fill any gaps with caulk.
A master at work. Thanks for the video.
I had no idea about the mdf board. You may have saved my life. Thank you.
I like that job and it's what I do and I like to learn more every day.
Great video on coping! Covered all the bases 👍
this is the best video i've seen for coping after watching so many!!! thank you! i've not been liking how some miter cuts are coming out, so i'm ready to give this a try.
Thanks for that Health Heads Up! All of us artists wanna be around a while!
I use the collins coping foot on a jig saw...goes fast :)
Thank you for the Video. I have watched other vids and did not get good results. Now I do.
I'm a custom shower installer but I love the way you do with hands off to you my man
Great video. I have heard of coping and I have tried it, but I never had good success with it. Now that I have watched the video, I can see where my mistakes were. I got a lot better results with my coping on the upward cut then the downward. It took more time for me but what I found out was that I was putting too much force or pressure when I cut on the downward stroke. Great tip and thanks. Tim
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you!
That's the prettiest cope I've ever seen ! 👍
I just did about 500 feet of this style base on a job and did half with the collins foot and half with the coping saw, when it comes to this base I don't have a preference so just mix it up as the day goes on. Great videos though, i'm always looking on youtube for new tips and tricks. And absolutely wear a mask when working with this stuff, great advice.
Beautiful trim work !!!!
I wish I could have seen this before I started to replace the baseboards in my house. My internal miters are awful - I only have a couple of internal corners left and I am 100% not using internal miters again. Thanks for posting this video!!
Thanks great video just a mellow guy explaining things I can totally understand I appreciate it
Thanks for the tip about the formaldehyde... I had no clue.
I have to admit although I am not a joiner but done plenty of skirting board installation I have never seen an internal scribe done like this before. I will be doing it like that the next time though. Brilliant.
Awesome, keep the videos coming. That's a real time saver. ..I'd like to see more on trim work / wanes coting. Any book suggestions would be helpful. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, you just helped me out a lot. I am going to use my coping saw, but I may try using the scroll saw too to see if I can get the same results. I don't like MDF either.
