I am a well seasoned finish carpenter. Although I've installed thousands of miles of base over the years. I really enjoy watching this video, and your others this channel. I think you're somewhat the Bob Ross of carpentry for me. You have a fantastic attitude and you are really enjoyable to listen to. You also are a very good instructor. The new wave of carpenters coming up now are lucky to have this resource, and would benefit greatly from watching your channel. I've been at this a long time, and I'm not ashamed to say that I've learned some valuable bits from your channel. I've always liked learning new processes and techniques, as well as, seeing that the some of the ones I employ still hold up. Lastly, with the stresses that Covid has brought and the insane work load I have these days. I've been grudgingly going to the next home to start the next project. Somehow you've inspired me to tool up with a fresh and positive attitude again. And for that I thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. 👊👍 You’ve mutually motivated me to keep making content like this. 👍
Your comment has me subscribed. I'll check out more videos from this guy.
You know you've done alot when you describe it in miles instead of feet💪
If you can install thirty five sticks of baseboards per day, forty hour week. It would take forty one years to go a thousand miles
@@randywilder2797 he doesn't know how much base he has installed so he just says miles. It's some way of pretending your elite in your craft.
This was the most complete explanation, on how to install baseboard from a professional point of view, that I have found on the internet. Thank you for sharing your Wisdom and Experience with us...
I think the only thing he could add to it would be scribing base to fit a existing floor.
I had to do that recently on hardwood floor transition.
This is by far the best baseboard tutorial on the internet. Would love to see more of these "workflow" style videos
Seasoned finish carpenter here. Really enjoy your videos!
as a drywall guy if I came into a new build and someone already marked my studs and pipes I would find that guy and buy them a nice meal or case of beer
For real. Hahah coming from a drywall guy hahahaha
On jobs I manage, I'll use a piece of 1/4" plywood with a cutout of 1 1/2" wide by 2" deep and attach to a stick roughly 3 feet long. A can of spray paint and setting the cutout next to each stud makes short work of marking each stud on a job. It saves time for every trade from framing on and in my opinion, is time well spent to do.
@@personalfavoriteshill7547 It's nice when the tradesmen respect each other! As a painting contractor, I hate when a carpenter shoots so many nails into the trimwork that you swear he came off the battlefield and was shooting a machine gun!
Exactly! U could be in a ruff mood and come in to a marked it house! Makes the day a bit better!
@@pointedspider YOU need to learn how to spell.
I've never heard the value principal so superbly articulated. Great job! Awesome video.
I've been a carpenter (broad-spectrum) my whole life and at 56 I still like to learn something new, even from someone much younger. I'm not a trim carpenter by trade but we all do it at some point. Already I have picked up many new tricks. I enjoy watching people who know their trade and do it well, it is how I learned most of what I know. Watch, comprehend, repeat, perfect. Enjoying your videos!
Another great video. Knowing when to produce perfection is key . Especially as a subcontractor.
I love your work flow. I’m an old school carpenter and always find something in your videos to step up my game. Thanks for the tips
Really enjoy your channel and I always learn something new. I also appreciate your down-to-earth attitude and the reasoning behind the choices you make. It makes me respect the expertise that goes into this line of work all the more.
Pro knees are a godsend to floor covering installers ! No more strap pain , rotating and slipping down ! I forgot mine on a job and had to use the foam and hardcap type ! It brought back painful memories ! Nice tips for people who WANT to improve in their trade !
Labor-to-value discussion was gold. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing man it’s refreshing to see someone talking about the real parts of the job instead of fluffing it up to look more extravagant than necessary
This is absolutely one of the most comprehensive videos for base-boards. Excellent work, excellent video.
"Value engineer the job" comments are spot on. Very impressive video.
I don’t think you realize how much that quote changed my outlook on approaching a job,
Some great tips, especially about the return pieces behind doors. I totally agree about the Franklin Finder; it's the best.
Thank you for the professional point of view. Well done.
I am planning renovations on parts of my home. Your "value" tips are especially helpful to assure I can stretch use of my dollars as far as far as possible and definitely details to keep in mind. Thanks for posting.
Not much to say but well said! It's satisfying to see another carpenter's workflow to confirm your own workflow
Reallly appreciate how you share your experience and what you have learned through out your career. You do a superb job explaining how you have grown as a carpenter and what works
Thanks for the video. Perfect timing as I’m just about to start trimming out our new house and was looking for some tips on how to be the most efficient with the use of time and material.
Love this channel! More videos please!!! It has helped me as a new contractor so much I love it.
Every one of your videos that I've clicked on I've though "I do this stuff daily for years now. What could he possibly teach me about installing base, or installing doors, or whatever" and then you start dropping tips to solve problems that I usually don't put too much thought into. Your attention to detail makes me ashamed that I ever say "good enough" just found your channel today and instantly one of my top 5 favorite channels. Keep it up man and thanks for sharing the wisdom!
Best trim video ever. Period.
While I only work on my own home, I do see a lot of efficiencies built into your workflow. I used to make signs. I had to bust out a lot of signs in a short timeframe. Economy of motion and organization while still providing a high-quality product is the name of the game. I, too, watch every second.
Great Video! Also nice to hear someone being practical and honest about quality vs. value. That stud finder looks great. It's going on the Xmas wish list for sure.
Thank you so much for your help and insights to the carpentry trades. Extremely helpful and appreciated by myself as a young guy trying to start a business and I’m sure thousands of others. Thank you and big respect for your skills.
You are the best channel for your trade on CZcams! Your channel is going to make me better at what I do. Thank you for that!👍👍
Watch @ finish carpentry tv on you tube that guy is the best. I'm sure you'll enjoy his knowledge. His workmanship is next level. Enjoy, tell him tony hernandez recommended
Dude congratulations you are doing a very good job, and for sure helping a lot of people, please make more videos like that
Excellent video with invaluable insight. I really appreciate how you explained that coping in this instance wouldn’t benefit the customer. This is a philosophy I learned years ago and it has helped me in so many ways. So many decisions over the years on what to do where the deciding factor was “Does this benefit the customer?” that ended with success. You are a true professional. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I like when I get to the end of a long video and realize I didn't skip one second. Nicely done!
That makes me happy. 👍
You may actually the best on CZcams. Nice job. I’ve not see anyone be so concise and so complete. I learned something every sentence. Really nice work that I appreciate. I’m not a tradesman, but I’m doing my own home, making my own woodwork and installing it along with the built-ins. I have what I considered adequate tools to do my work. I was wrong. I will likely be purchasing several of the tools you have in your bag. Again- thx for this video. All the best to you.
Thanks man. 👍👊
Id love to see your process with stain-grade trims. Great info as always. Thanks man.
Dude,,, you Sir are a Beast.
You are specific, and to the point. It’s like your gift is in acting. Every word is carefully crafted to minimize waste of motion too.
Value upon value and l just found your channel today. Appreciate your videos ✍🏼.
This is why I love what I do. As a remodler. Usually I attach drywall and the bottom screw marks the stud and is never filled with mud. Gives a real spot and we can get the stud really easy. Where I'm at floors and paint are completed usually before you can trim.
Thank you for the lesson.... valuable information you are passing on!
I really like how you phrased that about if what you're doing isn't adding value, good way to think about it
I am glad that you made the point of how it is done in the industry vs people doing it at their own house
Your vids sure have come a long way! Thank You.
Those little details about where to put the nails as far is one on the top and one of the bottom it said a lot about you thinking on the guy that comes after you to fill those holes and prep for painting , less filling holes and being more productive, thanks! I really enjoyed your videos!
As a retired finish carpenter your tips are very beneficial and time saving. The kneepads should be required. I'm having knee surgery in 2020 because I neglected pads.
Keep up the professionalism. You are a true craftsman in the old style.
I haven't seen true craftsman like this since the 80s. Yes I also should have used knee pads.
My wife and I recently (April 2019) bought our first home. We got into a bit of a loggerheads over whether or not to cope the baseboards (entire house is being remodeled). Simple 5-1/4" with and 1/8" roundover. I won't say who's side is supported by your experience, but I will thank you for making it clear and giving us confidence to move forward!
This video has added value to my perspective. Thanks.
I subbed I work with a general contractor learning his every move and thought lol. Thanks for taking the time to edit all this and put it up we do a lot of finish carpentry but really anything at all we don't mind. I loved your stave shim video that's going to helpe me so much with stain grade!
May God richly bless you and your family
Thanks for this very informative video. Started a side job today doing some base and shoe and this made it so much more efficient then how I have done it in the past during my full time job.
Thanks for the great comments on job value.
I am with you 100%. I install this type of trim the same way, no issues whatsoever. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Thanks for this video. I'm in the process of removing all the old baseboard in a 3 story home and replacing it. You've given me some great tips to do a better job. One of them is using a laser to measure I always measure corner cuts wrong. I going to buy a good tool for this.
Excellent video and great advice. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks for the tips as im just staring off doing side work to pay the bills and the info on your videos have been awesome in being cost and time efficient.
LOVE all of your videos bro!!
Job well done I'm also a carpenter and i like watching your videos because believe it or not i actually learned a few thing from you so NICE WORK AGAIN AND KEEP ON GOING!!!!
Thank you. Videos like yours are a godsend. 🙏🙏🙏
You sold me on that stud finder. I have never been able to move fast with mine. You cruise right along. 👍 I'll use your link.
That was very well explained, thanks!
I'm feeling real smart this morning! I run my own Handyman biz and do lots of baseboard work but it's usually not an entire room, so I learned a few things from you so Thanks! I feel smart because other than those knee pads I use the EXACT same tools that you use across the board and for the same reasons you mention. We could literally trade tool belts with no differences. Love my pants with built-in knee pads vs those beasts you use but I'm going to check them out anyway!
Good advice on the knees. I'm 51 and definitely feel it. Also running those same guns. Had good luck with both
Thanks for sharing great insights
Great tips and very well explained....thanks
Great video and advice. Thx for sharing the tips.
I cut the longest pieces first, leaving any outside miters rough to be marked directly, & standing up the off-cuts so it's easy to select lengths for little waste. Then cut & install the furthest & most visible pieces in each room wall to wall. I take all measurements wall to wall, noting "-TK", ">", or "L" on the cut list for needed cuts.
Pre-sanding will make the finish come out better, & a micro bevel on the bottom edge helps the painter keep paint off the finish floor.
Thanks again Spencer - always a wealth of knowledge.
You made some good points at the end about value. I like that square baseboard too.
Great video bud! A lot of good tips! One little thing I do is I always add a little line next to my number 9, that way 9 and 6 never get mixed up because something got flipped. You truly are a master at your craft! Keep the great content coming!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
This is pure gold for the ears. After watching this video I bought some of the tools you recommended, most from your link, and what a difference in the process time, quality and level of enjoyment. Thank you for putting this content out🙏🏾
I appreciate the support. 👊 Glad the content is helpful. 👍
So much great info!!!! Thanks for the knowledge!! Cheers!
Great video - nice insight into what constitutes value, and giving quality where it is not needed diminishes putting time where it is.
Great outlook on value and process!
Thanks for some very good tips
Great video, thank you!
Your pitch for knee pads is spot on. I’m 64, did not wear pads. Now I limp, can’t kneel, don’t sleep well becuz of bad knees.
Having replacement knee surgery this year😢.
I wish I had seen this two weeks ago. Great Video 👍
Nice tips and tricks.
God bless you. You are a good person for sharing your videos.
I'm not a carpenter, I don't do carpentry, I have no interest in carpentry but I ended up watching this whole video and found it fascinating. Great job!!!
As a builder I try to mark all of my studs with paint for the trim crew. Great video
It's nice to find a skilled young craftsman, other carpenters (slow, marginal carpenters) are always telling
Me " you can't do that ", it's all about speed and end results, I will say in my area pre painted white millwork called "complete"is prevalent, adds another level of techniques, I haven't used orthodox techniques in years and still trying to be more efficient every day, folks on CZcams are lucky you give out your tricks, you the man. (Been at it since high school class of 80).
Pete
Nicely Done 📐🔨
Great Job
I would love to see a video of a stain grade flat profile trim like this used. As we all know when it's painted there's a lot of forgiveness.
You have the best in-depth tutorials! I’ve learned so much from your techniques.
you are one hell of a carpenter i know this because i am a carpenter as well
You're a great motivator.
Very good video. Thank you!
You’re incredible! Thank you for sharing!
Enjoyed that, thanks..
Very good attitude and amazing skill as carpenter.
Fantastic. Thank you.
Very detailed thanks dude
Clean work, Great advice as always.
When faced with that 1" ish piece behind the door, I nail it to the long trim from the rear corner & use chalking on wall. Never breaks and solid connection.
That's a great technique also. I've that done as well.
@@InsiderCarpentry pop I made this suggestion a year ago
Will delete one
