For a consistent reveal when installing casing on a window I take a scrap piece of 2" x 4" and make a rabbit cut on all 4 sides of this scrap the exact size that I want the casing reveal to be. I then use this block to set my reveal as I nail the casing in place. Easy and cheap. Pro tip for cutting vertical door casing, install the top horizontal casing piece first and then cut a 45 degree angle on your 2 vertical casing pieces - the length being left wild. Place each piece of vertical casing in place on the door frame with the 45 on the floor, now simply mark the top of each piece where they line up with the top of the horizontal casing - cut your 90's and install. No measuring, easy peasy lemon squeezy! I also glue my casing joints. Great videos, keep up the awesome work!

@michaelcarroll4960 6 лет назад

How would putting your 45s at the bottom and marking the board where the top of the casing work. You would be short because the short point of the 45 gives the reveal. So when you cut it and flip the board over you'll be about two nches short

@markfindlay8636 9 лет назад

@sreihart 9 лет назад

Wow, you are very good at explaining things clearly and in "layman" terms! I had a front door replaced several years ago, paid the guy and he wouldn't come back to finish the trim. So I have a nice front door without any trim on it. Do you have a video that would help me to do this myself? It's brick around the door but had trim around it before. Thanks! I just found your channel this evening on a lark and really enjoy it and you.

Great video... Great teacher.. .. .exactly what i want to see on these awesome youtube videos... tell me all the details and history, or any other good stuff, that you can in a healthy non argumentative way... the details matter huge huge.. and anyone seeking information will never complain about you giving too much... probably best not to make anything seem diabolical by calling it secret ... even if at some time tradesmen really did keep the information as a secret ... that said... a very lovely video with explanation of terms and purpose.. good work. Thank you for your investment in the future of the community.

This is so great. I love the way you explain it., it makes things easier to understand and I feel a lil be more confident that I can do this. Do you have any videos about how to install a window casing with the rosettes? So the 45 degrees angles are not needed. I need to do all my windows and will use rosettes. Thanks so much!!!

@greygoosemafia 9 лет назад

I user a small amount of wood glue on the miter ends. nail in the joint ( great tip) doing trim caulking can be helpful when working with white base board. even matching color wood filler on stubborn parts where you cant just take it apart.

@amberwatkins3496 7 лет назад

Unfortunately there was some warping of our framing wall at one point. This has caused the drywall to be off from the casing of the prehung door. Instead of opening my angle, it's caused a front to back flex. What's your suggested means to handle this? Thank you. Your teaching style is so easy to understand and enjoyable to watch.

@seejanedrill 7 лет назад

Hi Amber, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by the "front to back flex"

@ryanodea5417 Год назад

How do you get that nail in the top of the door architrave without splitting it all? Thanks for all your vids 😊

@transgreaser Год назад

So good! Is it different for exterior against stucco?

@nickfantoni5576 4 года назад

Great videos .! Could you do a video on backcuts and front cuts with plaster not being flushed with jam . Or casing sticking past plaster ?

@ef2b 6 лет назад

A carpenter once taught me to remove casing by prying it away from the sheathing and simply allowing the finish nails to either come with it or pull out the back. If the nail comes with it, pull it out through the back, not the front. The reason I'm saying this is that the "secret nail" in mitered corner makes it hard to get the trim off without destroying it. You can't pry away from the sheathing because the corner with the secret nail will break and you can't knock the trim up or out to loosen the secret nail because of the nails going into the wall. When I took down trim for repairs in a late-1800s house trimmed in oak, there weren't any secret nails. Actually, there weren't any miters. They ran the top of the casing straight across, ended it with a return, and then dropped the vertical casings down from that. Very classical. My question is, how do you take down trim that has the secret corner nail? I run into it a lot and usually end up breaking the casing a fair bit. Your videos are excellent. Thank you for posting them.

@jb8656 5 лет назад

@amberwatkins3496 7 лет назад

@Jane Doe I have the same question about the finish nail. I predrilled but it still caused splitting when I hammered it in. Too close to the edge? Too large of a gauge? Didn't follow the course of the drill hole? Hmm

@seejanedrill 7 лет назад

Any of those ideas that you wrote is a possibility

@arebel2500 9 лет назад

@ seejanedrill. Can you talk about what type of blade should be used to make this cuts without having rough edges,thanks for the videos you shared with us👍.

@seejanedrill 8 лет назад

miter saws comes with a general purpose blade, and that's fine

@MrElPoderozo1 8 лет назад

@ sejanedrill. Thanks, I knew that but I was just wondering if there was a better brand of saw cause I see thst sometimes the wood gets split and one dont get that nice smothe cut. Thanks anyways for all your videos I do learn lots of stuff in them👍

@MILLYNWILL 9 лет назад

You read my mind I needed this video I'm doing three windows and I was so upset the contractor didn't finish them I am like I'll do it its just three windows on a back porch but I need the whole set up I have to shave down the drywall and plaster and do the wood I might opt out for the plastic since it's just for an open back porch nothing special but I want it finished. I have a request what can you use different to cover gas pipes? I want it to be accessible and paintable I was thinking sheet metal....

hmmm... I don't know if I can do this! Eeeks! I just purchased a 112 year old home, and do you know what is consistent about it?? Nothing! lol I am going to trim out a 5' mirror with a crosshead (and other molding) and was concerned about the crown molding and what I now know to be the "return". I can now rest assured. Thanks for easing my pain. Wish me luck!

@stellaphillips8678 7 лет назад

Hi Leah, love your videos. Can the secret nail go in the vertical casing instead of from the top down on the horizontal piece. My ceilings are low and I don't have room to get a nail gun or hammer up there. Thanks

@seejanedrill 7 лет назад

yes, you can do it that way

@pattidlou 7 лет назад

@JESSEPOLANCO100 3 года назад

@Brandywine6969 5 лет назад

What kind of molding was that in the last tip about the return? I have wanted that kind forever, but most I see nowadays is much smaller and not solid. They want you to nail it up on a 45 degree angle with nothing behind it. I want the kind that is solid wood.

@revansCAAD8 8 лет назад

Thank you Jane! What nails should we use on this trim?

@boobzac 8 лет назад

+revansCAAD8 - 4s on the inside, 6s on the outside. For thicker casing (1X) use 6s & 8s. Finish nails of course.

@ermmmnmmmnmm 7 лет назад

Do you have a video on cutting a return for chair rail on a flat wall? I have a long flat wall spanning two rooms, and I want chair rail on the dining room side not the stairway side. I figure I need a return. Is this correct?

+Agentxile - Yes. To finish off an end which is seen put a return on it.

@sbDbrooks 8 лет назад

A reveal exists to accommodate door hinges and catch plates, windows have a reveal to keep a uniform look on all trim throughout the house

@Hudsongirl-pz5fw 7 лет назад

use glue on all mitres. Another trick is on a mitre cut, say a double 45, while setting your saw on a 45 mitre, bevel back 2 degrees. If your jamb or build out is out past your wall a little that 2 degrees keeps your mitre tight.

@s.harlee362 6 лет назад

We used a utility knife to remove material from the back portion of each miter cut. (effortless on standard pine molding). This allows the two 45 pieces to meet just at the outside (visible) portion of the mitre, making for a tighter fit than a but joint mitre. Another way we accomplish what you just described if you don't have a compound miter saw.

@taotracy4431 6 лет назад

Back beveling should only be used when necessary. Back beveling is more prone to shows a gap in the future as the wood dries out. Glueing mitered joints is must, glad you mentioned it. You can shim the back of trim where it meets drywall to get results similar to back beveling.
