  • On the NSB Newton job, we see first hand how Tom Casey Lead Carpenter at NS Builders builds his window casings. We also observe his approach to trimming a window. This is not a standard how to but an opportunity to see a real project in motion.
    ***We know the center piece is missing. On the day of filming the center board was not ready to be installed. Thank you for noticing!
    How do we manage our projects from the big picture all the way down to the smallest detail?

    I'm a 63 year old trim carpenter and didn't think anybody put out this nice of work anymore. You have my respect for how nice you did that, especially with the gluing and screwing everything AND using the biscuits on the header. Absolute kudos to you young man, you have my complete respect.

    "Hello from The Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota. My fascination with all things Swiss, craftsmanship and quality led me to you guys. Your tour of the Swiss school was the best, i had no idea but somehow not surprised. Watch making translated to building makes the German approach slack. I then enjoyed your lead carpenter trim out a window on the Newton project. At what point does Tom Casey become a master? Ha ha, like Norm you know who!."

    This guy is a real master carpenter at a young age. Would love to see this video captured again by someone with a little more video camera experience. There were times when it was shaky or jerky and should not have been. And at times the camera angle could have been improved for an overall better-quality video, but thanks for sharing - not everyone is a professional videographer and it takes time and experience to become one. Exceptional quality work by the carpenter Tom Casey.

    6:40 when you’re putting window boxes together instead of bending over on the floor I took two blank interior hollow doors and added hinges and flip it open on 4 saw horses and have a flat surface to build boxes if slight unlevel I use a shim on corners to level and makes it so much easier to build boxes two hallow 32” doors make almost a square and it’s on saw horses so at waist level.
