Years ago I hired a guy that said he was a Finish Carpenter when we were doing a remodeling project on our house. When I came home from work and saw what he had done I realized that he must have meant he was from Finland.

@WilliamLaakkonen 5 месяцев назад

My Grandfather was a Finnish Finish Carpenter- I would say if the standards expected were not met by your "finish" carpenter, that he was neither a Finish carpenter, nor a Finn- because the best Finish carpenters are often both.

7:00 “If it looks perfect it is perfect.” Such an important lesson for anyone building anything. You could make it exactly the same and have it look wrong. Step back five feet, ten feet, look from either side, and from the side of your eye. That’s time well spent. (And also an excellent moment to see if you missed something else!)

Used GRK Trim Finishing screws on last job I did... Zero blowouts or shiners since they drill the wood as they drive. Pneumatic has it's place, but will largely never go back to it for window and door trim.

@deucerider430 3 года назад

I really enjoy that you stress "exact" and "virtually the same" as appropriate terms in building! Things need to "look right ,to be right"! As I used to work on older homes re-dos, I had cards the had my name printed and under that it said "Carpenter / Illusionist" LOL

@johnsrabe 3 года назад

I consider myself an expert on “look right” after successfully hanging a nominally 6’x4’ painting (but not actually square) on a wall with the floor and ceiling sloping in different directions. You gotta go with the flow and trust your eye not the tape.

@jamesstrawn6087 Год назад

The main application is the finish work though, right? If the framer had it right, the rule would not be needed as often later on. Of course, he would probably say the same of the foundation guy.

@MatthewHilbertsBaritone 3 года назад

In Australian terms (generally) jam=reveal, case=architrave. Never actually heard anyone refer to the side or top of a window frame, so, I suppose head, leg, etc, still applies. Then again, most windows in Australia these days are delivered attached to the jam/reveal, and attached through the reveal to the house frame.

Take note of the chisel tip of the nails. The direction of the chisel dictates which direction the goes when it hits a knot. Turning the gun 90* when nailing can help prevent blowout.

@mcarendt 3 года назад

I’m probably not the first to mention this, but in the chance I am, I have the secret for saying goodbye to inside edge casing shiners. It’s very simple: the gun should always be perpendicular to the edge. If you hold it parallel to the edge, you have no control over which way the nail deflects. Turn her sideways and she’ll never shoot through the jamb again.

@jamesstrawn6087 Год назад

My experience is that when they hit a knot all bets are off. I always cringe when I see someone with fingers near the drive. I once saw a very good man drive a nail through two fingers this way.

@timtest5845 3 года назад

I spent the better part of 20 years working as a finish carpenter and to see someone that wants it right every time is a feast for these worn-out eyes. I thank you for your videos and like myself your willingness to learn a better way is always a pleasure to see. I was fortunate to learn from craftsmen like you when I first started. One of the fellows was so good I worked Saturdays for free for 2 years just to absorb everything he would teach me. When MDF first came out two of his builders ordered it and he picked up his tools and left the first guy......the second guy went and bought the materials used here. I asked Leo why and he replied, " that's my name on this work and it will never be used in the same sentence as MDF." That was many years ago and I am proud to say my name has never been used that way either.

@gregoryvschmidt 3 года назад

I always hold my nailers at right angle to the face of the board ( like how you were holding it for nailing the heads), otherwise the cut on the pointed end of the nail will make it more likely to curl out as it follows the grain

@ericwaltersdorf9202 3 года назад

My dad was a finish carpenter by trade. He never used a pneumatic nailer as they were "too heavy" for his shoulders. A deft finish hammer and a nail set were his tools. If he ever left a "smile" on a casing he grabbed a pencil and initialed it, to let the painter who came behind him who caused the extra work. A lesson I'll never forget. Thanks for another great video.

@johnsrabe 3 года назад

That’s so awesome about your dad! Made my day.

@foxtrap8826 3 года назад

I can understand how your Dad preferred older tools Eric. When I started in carpentry over well 50 years ago, there were no air tools of any sort. It was all hammers and screwdrivers, and I often used my great grandfather's tools. Those were still in use at the time. But the winds of time were changing, Eric, and will blow forever on now. Best of luck to you.

@berlinbuilds 3 года назад

Great work! Looks awesome. I have the same gun and I have been meaning to put a hook on mine as well! One of these days, haha! One tip for when you are nailing the casings into your jamb pieces is to turn your gun sideways (I refer to it as gangster style). The chisel point of the nail tends to plow out to the left and right side of the gun, but rarely goes up and down. Just a friendly tip to help you not tick off your painters when a nail blows out the side!

@DKWalser 3 года назад

Great job with the finish work on the windows. However, I have two quibbles: First, it bugs me to see exposed end grain. If it were for my own house, I would have mitered the ends of the header and apron. As I said, a quibble. Second, the paint grade board that was shown being cut on the miter saw had the pith right in the center of the board. In time, that board will almost certainly twist, cup, or crack. If I couldn't rip the pith out of the board, I wouldn't have used it.

@jeffpowell8308 3 года назад

I always use a 18 guage brad nailer to nail the casing to the extension jambs. That's because we use a lot of DC98 casing in the DC area and the smaller guage is less likely to blow out the bead on the inside edge of the casing.

@albrousssard429 2 года назад

Scott, I really like this series. I’ve been a cabinetmaker for over 40 years. One good piece of advice that would help you and others with respect to pneumatic finish nailers- I’ve used Senco and Bostitch, among others. My point is if you look closely at the tips of your nails that are glued together in a row. You’ll see these tips wedge to a point. Now, if the wedge shape runs with direction of the gun itself and the nail enters the wood, strikes an object and is deflected, it will have tendency to deflect to the left or right with respect the orientation of your nail gun. Bostitch nails tend to have their wedges arranged this way. Likewise Senco nails are staggered and their wedge tips go perpendicular to orientation of the nail gun. If an object within the wood is struck, the nail have tendency to deflect forward or back. This is important to bear in mind when nailing close to two finished surfaces. Keep up the good work! Al

Pro tip for "shiner" nails. TOP of the gun towards the direction you DONT want the nail to curve towards. Nail gun nails are only beveled on 2 sides and will almost never curve up or down only left to right. We implement this while doing window stops and havent had a nail hit the glass since.

I'm in the northern part of NYS and sealing is very important here as well.

As a Finish Carpenter and now more of a General Contractor these days. I can't stress enough how much I cannot stand MDF. Sure it's cheap, but it's a pain to prep for paint and my stars, the dust! Like you said, it volcanoes, especially with a 15 or 16 gauge. Not so much with an 18 gauge, keep the pressure a little lower and depth setting right and it's not as bad. If you hand paint it's not as noticeable but if it's sprayed, the extra moisture gets into the MDF too much and that nail hole actually shrinks and dimples!! Nightmare. For my projects, if supplying material it is always FJ Pine or Popular.

Couple things. Only follow your vinyl reveal if you know the window is straight, vinyl windows are often bowed. Straight, level and pumb are your friends... Back cut your sill and header and apron edges if using pine, looks much cleaner when painted and takes way less work on your painter part. Last, as far as saving time for your painter, you don't need an angled finish nail for trim, brad is just fine. Your painter will thank you.

Interesting that you touch on what is referred to (at least in my business area) as "mass customization," or setting up a manufacturing capability that specializes in making similar but customized products (think of ordering a custom computer from Dell where you choose which parts to upgrade, or personalized sneakers from Nike). Seems like the modern version of the old sears catalog homes are the modular home builders that continue to grow. Interested to know whether you've had any experience with modular construction homes, and/or how such homes are regarded among tradespeople? Personally, seems to lack the same romance as a ground-up build, but if the quality is there and price is right, it seems an attractive option for some folks.

Was that finger jointed laminated material or just straight pine lumber? Just curious. If you'd like to comment about what's going on with lumber prices I'm sure we'd all like to hear it.

Finally a video that makes sense!! I’ve been stressing over how to do this for months, and everyone I ask has a different 10 minute monologue that makes no sense. This is how I was hoping it’s done. My only question is what were you doing with the router? Thanks

Never forget the Trades that will be following you., and never forget with each curse and obscenity the Trades that came before you... :-) But in truth that is why you don't want to be that guy.

I hate finish work but I take every measurement like I'm finishing pisses my boss off as he has this weird thing where he takes off an 1/8" on everything! 🤷‍♂️

MDF is inexpensive and easy to run through a router. You can save a ton of money making your own moldings and trim with MDF. I would never use it around windows or in bathrooms or on baseboards that may get wet because the tiniest bit of moisture makes the stuff swell up. I'm curious though - what is the ROI for using high end wood trim like oak or maple in a spec house or in a house being flipped? Is it worth it, or is it like throwing away money?

So they will shine like the fender of a brand new Ford pickup. But like a brand new Ford pickup be defective underneath? 😜😂🤣

MDF is great for a few roles. It’s terrible for everything else that companies commonly use it for.....

I hate that preprimed pine. They cut out the knots and butt join, then prime. If you don’t shellac before painting, sap will bleed out and you’ll be shellacking and repainting in a couple of years.

You can prevent 95% of fly away nails shooting out of the jamb by having the nail gun perpendicular to the piece you’re nailing. Brad nails are beveled only on two sides so they’re biased to the direction in which they may turn when they hit some curvy grain or a knot, if you shoot the gun perpendicular the nail will curve side to side in the wood and rarely ever protrude from the surface. Learned this cabinet making as many panels are pre finished and damage to surfaces should be minimized.
