Baseboard Transition TRICK - EASY TRIM CARPENTRY 

I was a floor covering contractor for 30 years and did a lot of molding. Your first transition is the way to go squared right around the cover. The nay Sayers are never happy and you should not waste time trying to please them. Self discovery of a new way is always worth the time to test an idea!

Would hire this guy in a heart beat. Don't even care about cost after watching one video. Every contractor knows. Awesome job

I think it’s creative. At the end of the day, if the customer is happy, it’s a win. People are always going to have their opinions.

I love this guys attention to detail. We should all strive to do top quality work for our customers.

I like the 45 better. Good job! The critical tool for measuring is a sharp point pencil. I completed a bathroom remodel with bullnose corners on the base boards and the base boards came out great. You don’t need to nail as much using CA GLUE. I’ve learned a lot watching the finished carpentry videos. Thank you!

Man..people are always gonna hate..especially the ones lacking skill..i think allyour work looks great..do you!

It's simple my friend, these bloody keyboard warriors have no clue about anything in life so they just sit at home & have a dig at anybody that knows what there doing And you my friend are good, you just don't know how good you are, keep up the good work & ignor the haters.

I've been on the tools since 1981 and I truly enjoy someone who takes their time and so much PRIDE in what they do. Keep up the good work. Not enough of us who care out there!!!

0:38 I hit the thumbs up for the "oh well"

I'd definitely like to see a video on how to scribe an uneven floor so that baseboards sit flush. In fact, you could do an entire series on little tricks for accommodating uneven surfaces.

Your craftsmanship is outstanding. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter what some of the audience says, the ones that are hating probably have never owned a hammer. If your customer was happy and that’s what they wanted that’s all that matters. I am in construction and have done projects where my personal opinion of how I would do certain things is not what the customer wanted, they have their own idea and as long as I can make it work I’m happy if they are happy.

Ignore the haters. They lack vision and talent. Keep doing your thing. Some of the best stuff on RU-vid.

You're Badass Bro! I love to see people take pride in their crafts!

Rich is awesome...super addictive content and very informative. How can anyone hate on him?

You sir are a professional, a true pleasure to watch. I am 63 years old and you are teaching me new tricks. Forget the haters,your a great craftsman.

I’m a designer and I like this transition choice. It is less busy and looks cleaner. Good job!

They both look great. Cant PLEASE them all. Keep u the good work.

Yeah buddy!!!! Richard is back!!!! I hope the move went well, and you and your family are doing well. God bless you and your family,and your company!!! Keep the videos coming. You HAVE NO idea how much they bring me peace and inspiration to work on the house that my wife and I built about 3 yrs. ago. So much standard construction grade trim in there to change out!!!!! You hype me up to get it done!!!!!Greetings from NJ. Can't wait until the next video!!!

you are great to teach your skills....most people just keep them to their selves and pocket the big dollars. I for one say thank you It will definitely make my very modest home look a notch higher end when I try some DYI or maybe even try my hand at some furniture refinishing that I have been itching to try...If I have any skills I'll tip my hat your way for being generous with your knowledge of how to beautify so simply!!

I'm glad you address the so-called haters, but am totally glad you don't let it bother you. Thanks for all your videos, I recently bought a house where the previous owner thought he was a handy man, but was more of a handy don't. Your videos have definitely helped keep my budget down and turn my house around.

The US outlets always remind me of a shocked looking marshmallow man from Ghostbusters. Great job, it really neat and tidy.

your work is awesome man - im just a homeowner doing trim in my basement and ive learned an incredible amount off your videos - i like both ways around the outlet with the trim for sure... slightly like the 45 degree better though - overall - thanks for your help, hard work, and dedication to a craft you do exceedingly well!!

I just did this at a clients house and it looks mintyyy. Thanks for showing me on this video a few months back

The hell with the haters from ur last transition video man . U dont do it for them u do it for us . Before they leave their comments they need to make a video showing us how it should be done. I have learned a ton from ur videos even if some are a bit more advance for my skill.

You have been an inspiration and you make me feel like with a little practice I too can have the ability to be a good finish carpenter. Thank you! PLEASE made a video scribing base PLEASE!

This builder and developer and master carpenter liked your first presentation, good work, good job.

Both Transitions look very good...well done..

f*$% them haters dude, first one was gold, second was golder... millions of opions, but it's your site.. as long as the client is happy and you're proud of that work, no need to satisfy the critters... thumbs up emoji

I always say to myself “long” or “short” when referring to the 16th. Great video thanks for the tip.

Nice solution and fine workmanship.

I love watching new tricks...you are one hell of a carpenter my friend

This is exactly what I was looking for I will look back at the other video people didn't like, thank you keep up the good content.

I loved both ways, but no matter what you do not everyone is going to like it. As long as your customers are happy at the end of the day that's all that matters.

Amazing work man, don't bored by the haters... you has amazing skills...

First off CONGRATULATIONS on the new addition to the family, I hope everyone is doing well? Thank you for showing another way of going around obstacles. I now have two methods I can use. Take care and please make a video on fixing an uneven surface. If you ever decide to do consults, sign me up.

Again, a craftsman at work. The combination of these two cuts for vertical & horizontal outlets is amazing, each works perfectly. Thank you

You do great work

In today’s day and age everyone wants options cuz!! Thanks for helping out the DIY community and providing them!!

I have seen many of your videos in baseboard and crown moldings. Screw those h8ers! U r an artist!

I was surprised to hear her to see that there were people that didn't like your last video. I appreciate your work and time sir. Impressed anyone would try to please those who just hate. Certainly a better person than I am

Eres un chingon ricardo estoy aprendiendo mucho👍👍

Hey! Welcome back. Congrats on ur new born. Another great video. Keep up the great work.👍

Nice work, if I was the homeowner I would have raised the box out of the baseboard line. More work but I feel is a better look. Great Job on your miters‼️👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

You killed it! Don't worry about the haters they just can't keep up.

I hate to admit, but I love that intro more than the transition trick! Cool idea and we'll definitely be using it! 👊

Great job cutting off the camera before you pushed the base through the table saw lol you know the haters would critique however you did it 🤣😂

The people that take the time to show hate or just always negative comments are sad people who do not have a life or skills and need to bring down people to make themselves feel better and wish they could be half as good as you are. I am very impressed with all your work keep the great videos coming.

man f em, I LOVE that transition you did the first time, while they hatin, you are covering the little space below, looks fantastic!. Everyone always got something to say. I'd make one around a TV on purpose just to make them upset. If they hatin, you doing your job. You are respected by people my man!

Richard, let me get that like brother. Keep up the great vids!!!

Hey man, love watching your vids. You do an awesome job! I think I've seen them all. I wanted to touch on the way you're calling out measurements. Instead of 5 -1/16”, you call out "5+". I totally get it. Keeps things simple. Here's the way we call out every measurement: Instead of "5+”, we would call out "5 & 1". If it was 5-1/8”, that would be "5 & 2". It makes it easier to remember more measurements at once. As an example, here's a few off-the-cuff measurements: 32-1/4" ; 11-7/16” ; 7-3/8". That's a lot of numbers. We would call it: 32&4 ; 11&7 ; 7&6. Just makes it a little bit easier to remember by the time you get back to the saw. I really enjoy your videos. You're making really good content and I've picked up a few tricks that have made day-to-day life on the job a little better. Thanks!

I did this in my family room using your instructions and it turned out great!! Thank you.

You don’t have to please any of your viewers, except your customer. Keep doing the great work that you do, thanks for sharing your tips.

Yo dont stress bro hater are going to hate when you are good!!! Remember that!!!

Your never going to to make everyone happy I think either way looks good the people that don't like the look are jealous in my opinion I guess the old simple notch is the way to go or maybe just move the outlet because it is faster yeah faster because you know how much wire is behind the wall that you can just move it up and you can magically pull the wire Staples behind the the sheetrock to possibly get enough slack to move it up oh and did I forget to mention that you have to patch the sheetrock we're the old box location was Richard don't let people get to you not saying they are stay true to who you are a true Craftsmen with a creative mind and yes there is more than one way to skin a fish great job and great video

You are awesome, I’m waiting to do the same transition this weekend at my sister’s house, thank you so much, I try to see all your videos

To hell with the haters. Let them try dealing with difficult jobsite conditions, solve problems for customers and change ugliness into beauty. ....”at a reasonable price.” You are a great carpenter/craftsman. That’s just the humble opinion of an old guy who has been in biz for 39 years doing what you do. Dave Heitman dba Dave The Carpenter in Omaha. Semper Fidelis

We don’t have this problem in the uk as our sockets are higher up. Have a word with your sparks.

Love your work. Not hating but I’d almost always opt for moving an outlet. It always amazes me what electrical workers come up with in track homes.

Great Video! I used your technique to run baseboards under a built-in cabinet 4 feet long. Dispensing knowledge well done. Thanks for the fast shipping on the CA glue purchase!

Thank you so much for these videos! I am an entertainer/bandleader by trade but have been hired pro bono by my wife to renovate an investment property. I went from very basic carpentry to making things look pretty good thanks to your videos. Keep up the great work!

Forget the naysayers. You know what you're doing

Of course moving the outlets is the correct way. However I really don’t think all the people leaving that in the comment section have ever actually worked on people’s houses before. If they have than they should know people are cheap AF almost all the time and want stuff done faster and cheaper, and moving outlets is neither of those things. Besides technology illegal. (Unlicensed electrition without a permit). But I’m sure they’re all gonna say they would do it and they could move 50 outlets in house faster then mitering around them. Lol ya right. For free too I bet.

Haters will hate but being able to show your customers a variety of details is what will set you ahead of the pack. In your home, do what you like. If you want to make a living doing trim, consider that a man who does this is a good source for ideas.

You are the best finish guy I have ever seen

Truth be told, that outlet should have been lowered to be in the main field of the trim. Contorting trim around it only draws the eye to a mechanical detail which is best served in a more subtle approach. You are drawing undue attention to the outlet's awkward placement by manipulating the top detail of the trim. If anything, cut the outlet cover from a piece of trim then cut 45 degree returns on both sides of the outlet to let that top detail die into the wall on each side.

On the first one. You did a good job with what you had to work with. The person that's set the outlet that low is an amateur

You do great work. There will always be haters , don't sweat it.

What I like about you is how your precise with your cuts, it's the only way to go if you want your work to look good...

I've seen you move outlets before and it looks to me like there's enough room here to move the outlet up as long as there isn't any framing in the way. It would have been less work and looked cleaner in the end

I'm not really sure why anyone would be hating on you or that damn cool trim trick. I appreciate your help. I got some whole (well, almost whole) house baseboard installation I gotta do, so I'm studying up and your videos are right on point. Thanks.

Don't worry about the haters. ANYTHING looks better than just notching the base around the outlet. Regardless of what you do there will be critics. The greatest carpenter of all time, Jesus Christ, would have critics. There are those who just seem to thrive when they are negative. The time and patience you put into a single outlet makes the process a work of art. Your explanation of your process makes you a good teacher and craftsman.

Dude love your videos and I am learning alot with your techniques as I am a do-it-yourselfer. One tip I would like to offer your is have a bucket near your saw to throw all the scrap pieces in, will reduce your clean-up time of scrap material.

I like both options because they both have a clean finished look. It is unfair to "hate" based on a person's work and product based solely on the aesthetic. I love the info that you share. I have applied these techniques myself in my own jobs. Keep up the good work. There are plenty of appreciative viewers and hopefully, we outweigh the haters.

Dude your awesome I’ve learned so much from you and still learning. I’m a 22 year older plus flooring installer and baseboards. I’m learning a lot every time I watch one of your vids thank you so much!

You are one clever dude. Good personality, patient and obviously very skillful. Most of all you are willing to share your skills with others. Most pro's that I have met seldom want to share their secrets. Thanks for being so generous.

I think you got it right the first time the 90 corners look better. great work

you are the best carpenter I have ever met in my life, I would very much like to work with you, I wish you all the best👌👌👌👌👍👍👍

Thanks for the videos ! I remembered this video from awhile back and watched it again for a job I was doing the other day. It was for 5 1/4 in base around a pop out for a TV and the customer loved it. Thanks again.

Welcome back and awesome tips!! Glad to hear you and your family are doing well! Can't wait for the next video!

Excellent I don't care what anyone says it looks great with a little class.

I just want to say thank you for teaching your trade. It shows that you're top notch in your field.

Nice idea for when the water supply behind a toilet is to high or to low. Really like your videos!

- Another very nice angle cut job. Dismiss the 'haters.' Those folks are likely the ones who do a sloppy job, have no standards or expectations of themselves, thus resenting anyone who does.

Both ways looks great. And haters will be haters, Your craft is really great,keep it up

Your video taught me how to transition to a lower piece to fit under a cabinet and to but to the height of a shower threshold. Much appreciated

Thank you for your videos on both designs, regardless if others don’t like it, but it helps others to work on their own homes

What was not to like about the last transition, these people who send comments like that need to take a break from trolling , fantastic work Richard wish I had your skill set keep up the good work 👍

Dude! I’ve watched both video’s and I think both ways look very nice. I also think some people just wanna hate. As someone who just did baseboards in the master bath I can say you do great work.

Thank you just used this around heating vents looks great. It is wonderful you share your professional knowledge with all of us.

Bro! I loved that transition. I brought that right into my classroom and taught it to my students.

I truly like what you do sir! I live in Nashville but I grew up in Temple TX. I know you are a busy man but I would truly appreciate 10 minutes of your time sir!!

I've learned so much from this guy! I'll do anything I can to support his channel. That's what I love about RU-vid, it's a win-win especially from dfw crown!

I follow you from Canada and I am a DIY. I love your videos, your explantations are on point and I am glad that I found you! Keep up the good work and please, do not dwell on the negative comments. Concentrate on the positive ones. 👍

Man your work is just pristine! Don’t waste your time talking about that people!

Thanks for this video! Needed to avoid a toilet water supply line and couldn't decide how to avoid it or incorporate it into the baseboard. This helped BIG TIME.

Another great video! I would not be concerned with the haters. They should look at each method as a learning opportunity and not on their personal taste. Valuable additions to ones skill set, always welcome.

I believe you said it once before and know you said it in a later video - it's what the customer/client wants and likes.. not viewers - keep up the great work. I rewatch your presentations and walk-throughs since I suffer from CRE.. can't remember everything.

I have been doing woodworking a long time and I learn something from you every time Thank You

Just so long as the haters aren't the customers then I'd say you're good. Well done!

That socket transition looked cool and will be looking at your video on how to do it.
