    Excellent video. I'm getting my house ready for sale and there's several spots where trim is missing and/or needs to be replaced. I've been scouring youtube for good tutorials. This is one of the best. As a 62yr old grandma, I feel much more confident doing the repairs after watching this.

    great video. question ? so when you are joining the two pieces of baseboards like in the middle not inside or outside corners but just connecting two pieces did you just cut both the ends to 45 degrees. That is what it looks like and add the wood filler so you can't see the seems?

  • @mrniceguy423

    ok, so if you had to cut out a small section with an oscillating tool how would you make that 45 degree bevel? or would it have to be a straight seem if you're not able to take apart both sides?

    • @csimet
      @csimet Před 11 měsíci +3

      Woodworkers trick... use both. I use a couple dabs of CA on one side & spray hardener on the other in the center to place and hold the pieces to get perfect alignment, but most of the joint is held with traditional wood glue around the outside edges. The CA will hold the alignment and the wood glue will provide the strength.

  • @albuseisenhorn3385
    @albuseisenhorn3385 Před rokem

    I also heard you can use tape on the cut so that the finish doesn't chip with most types of wood - take with a grain of salt though no idea what kind of tape or if it actually works.
    As for the finishing, use a damn putty knife thats as close to the size of the baseboard as possible, use DAP (the blue container with pink stuff inside) and use very light coats, sand with 360 grit, wipe with soft cloth and tape your wall with painters tape then caulk using your finger in one smooth motion (no going back over it if you can avoid) then paint pronto and once done peel tape - this will give you a very clean line & prevent hours of trying to sand something (also scrape your putty knife edge to clean it every few passes) this only works if you don't have stucco walls inside. When doing trim you touch don't roll it, use a high quality brush and floetrol - will get you very smooth or glass like finish - actually you should spend money on 3 things and go as high quality as you can 1. paint brush 2. roller (the frame if you will) & 3. drop sheet 3 1/2. a decent locking extension pole of your choice

    Scarf joint looks great! Question... Im thinking about DIY my baseboards on my new Vinyl Plank Flooring. The installer said to use 1/4" spacers for installing the baseboards to allow for expansion. But I noticed you just laid them on the floor planking and nailed them in... Is this a mistake on your part or is the 1/4" space really needed?

    • @andrewrobertson5504
      @andrewrobertson5504 Před 4 měsíci

  • @phillamoore157
    @phillamoore157 Před rokem

    Outstanding. This is the only part that’s giving me fits. God help you if you don’t get that set perfectly with that CA glue….you’re f**ked. I’d kind of like to see how that’s fixed. I need a few more seconds of adjustment time. So, maybe I’ll try using the drops on both sides method. I just don’t want it to get messy. Great video!

  • @novapball

    I didn't know there were nail guns without an air compressor! Do you recommend the one in this video to do an entire apartment or is it better for small jobs? This was very helpful!! Thank you so much for making this video!

    • @stevesether
      @stevesether Před rokem +1

      Personally I find the air tools with a small compressor great for small, occasional jobs. I have a lot of battery powered tools as well, but the battery powered tools can get expensive since you're paying for tool+battery.
      The air powered tools are generally very inexpensive, and I've gotten a lot of use out of an inexpensive brad nailer, and an inexpensive flooring stapler. YMMV.

    • @jonathangomez9054
      @jonathangomez9054 Před rokem +1

      I use a 18 ga brad nailer by ryobi and I use two 5ah batteries for it it is around 250 in total but works great! I believe it’s more expensive to have a air tool. But yea ryobi has never given me any problems while doing trim moulding

    • @ryandiedrich6317
      @ryandiedrich6317 Před rokem

  • @rodsnerd5176
    @rodsnerd5176 Před 2 lety +3

    Pretty good demo but can see about an inch above the new baseboard where the top of the old baseboard was. Looks like the wall was just painted over. I would've either sand it out and match the orange peel texture of the wall or just put the orange peel on, then paint. Just something I would do.

    Why not lay the trim flat and turn your saw to the 45 degree on the vertical slider. Or does your saw not have that feature. Most do though. I used to do it your way but the blade never cuts down far enough through the trim
