Trim Carpentry is full of tips, tricks and strategies. But there is one hidden detail in trim carpentry that is utterly important--and it's EVERYWHERE in our houses. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will help explain what it is, and how and when to use it!
This HIDDEN TRIM DETAIL Affects Your Whole House! See Why...(Reveals/Trim Reveal/Trim Carpentry)
The hidden trim detail in all of our homes is THE REVEAL.
A REVEAL is simply the offset positioning of two trim boards along an edge.
You find reveals primarily around doors and windows, where two casings meet at 90 degrees to one another, and travel together along an edge.
The reveal on interior casings is often 3/16" to 1/4".
The reveal on exterior door casings is often 1/2".
Lumber is often imperfect, and by offsetting the position of one of these boards a little bit, you create a narrow valley or inner corner between the two boards that hides their flaws much better than if they were lined up.
The reveal is much easier to caulk into, thereby hiding the visible seam completely.
But, trim reveals also create a pleasing shadow line! This visible detail makes trim more appealing to the eye.
This shadow line reveal element has been used in architecture for thousands of years to make trim and structural profiles more beautiful.
Many of our new pre-hung doors come with trim already in place, and the trim reveal already set.
Reveals must be set very early on in the trim phase of a carpentry project, because horizontal trim butts up against casing with reveals, more or less trapping it in place.

Since you asked.... I am a trim carpenter for 30+ years. You are correct in everything you said but you did leave a critical element. Wood is always moving due to temperature and moisture throughout the seasons. Even if you had all laser straight materials being applied to perfect plumb, level, and square structures, a flush joint would eventually be exposed over the years, especially when joining dissimilar materials. A reveal also helps mask a joints movement. I always liked the way it was said about about a reveal, "we celebrate the joint instead of hiding it."

@timothyshires967 11 месяцев назад

If you're still using this account and have some good materials on the finer points I'd appreciate it. Love this guy's channel but he's right about having to cater to the algorithm and I always end the video feeling a little more confidant but I'd like the phase where I have to explain to people that I'm not a professional in that aspect while getting them to understand I won't do a bad job but don't feel comfortable charging what I think the work is worth due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of the craft to be over. Then they say oh no it's fine and I do it and maybe it's just me but I'm always very dissatisfied with my work. They rarely complain and I just don't know if it's because they understood what I was saying or they just feel bad for me because I'm young

@airflowfpv7791 6 месяцев назад

@@timothyshires967 Stay at it Buddy!... It takes years to become a master carpenter. Just always do your very best and be honest. I don't know your skill set but just be careful when talking to clients, don't make yourself look to bad by being overly humble, to where they get nervous and decide to use someone else but at the same time, don't take on something you are not sure you can finish.. I'm saying there is a little bit of song and dance we have to do, when it comes to home owners, not always but everybody is different...

This book is Awesome! I love the Lean-To-Shed the most (page 98). The plan ru-vid.comUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR is to attach it to the back of my brick house. I also like how they walk you through the many different steps of construction, which is important for the less experienced like me.

@ronh9384 3 года назад

45-50 years ago I was helping my grandfather, who was a master carpenter, trim out a house he built for a customer. The customer and his wife asked why can’t you just flush this trim up, wouldn’t it look better? My grandfather explained why and even showed them some examples of trim in the house next door. He end up making some trim samples up to show them. Two of them had a couple of different reveals, one was flush and one was flush but he had used a block plane to do a slight chamfer where the two board came together. They decided on the trim detail with the slight chamfer. I remember my grandfather explain that even with the chamfer he couldn’t guarantee that the trim wouldn’t open up a little. The next week they decided to do a reveal on the trim. Luckily the trim had not been started yet when they changed their mind... His explanation made them look at trim differently and they looked at trim in other homes and realized the reveal and shadow line looked much better. That was a teaching moment for me as well and now you are providing that knowledge to others. Thanks...

@TheHonestCarpenter 3 года назад

That's an amazing story, Ron. The double chamfer is real master carpenter stuff--like some of the details you see in the famous Gamble house. I also appreciate that he took the time to teach them the logic behind the various decisions, and even made models. I sometimes fear that that level of dedication to craftsmanship is gone, but I also hope/believe there are folks out there who still take the time. I'm glad I can try to help roll it forward in any way I can. Thanks for writing in!

@PeakDogs67 3 года назад

I've done the double chamfer on shelf nosing but would never think to do it on a whole house of trim. That is an amazing amount of work.

@QuantumMechanic_88 3 года назад

@Ron H - Excellent and thanks for sharing .

@shawnrhaas 3 года назад

That's a great story. I always want the client to give their input on details, they're paying for it and have to live with it. I was finishing up a rail cap on a job and in this case unfortunately asked the owner their preference. When I showed him a sample mock up with the overhang option which would create our Reveal he instantly suggested Flushing them up. Oh boy I thought. I tried explaining the whole reveal concept, obviously not as articulate as our THC did. He thought his idea was better, so we stood there in face off mode till he walked off. I finished the job with the appropriate reveal I saw fit.

With a technical background, I've done everything from remedial drywall, to plumbing, to electrical .... with a lot of simple carpentry, woodworking thrown in. Been at the home improvements thing now for well over 20 years. This is the FIRST explanation/description of something I've noticed long ago, but had no idea it was a "formal" or intentional treatment. Being a loner, never had anyone show me or teach me the old ways, or "tricks of the ..." . Just always wanted to do it "right". This revelation from you is truly a great step forward for this old man in knowledge and workmanship. Huge THANK YOU!! My work will be the better for your effort, skill, and taking the time to inform. Great job!

@@TheHonestCarpenter The same situation happened with me. I built a custom home in 2008 and my woodshop carpenter taught me about reveals and the difference between "rosettes" and the "head blocks" that he used around each of my door and window frames. Today, I'm personally remodeling my current home and remembering the trick of the reveal. Thanks for such great videos!

@kellymcguire5912 3 года назад

Several years ago I did trim carpentry for a track home builder. I really enjoyed the challenge of making an out-of-plumb doorway become perfectly plumb and level. The reveal is the fixer of almost any framing error. If the hinge side of a door is out of plumb, the door will not stay in position, unless it's closed. Sadly, I bought a house that has a bathroom door that is out of plumb on the hinge side. It's a framing issue. One of these days I will take it down and install it correctly. It's been 12 years, so I'm about ready to fix it. Yep.

@HAL-dm1eh 3 года назад

I was a residential painter for a long time and never knew this, but it was a real pleasure painting behind and putting the finishing beauty on what a good trim carpenter did. Maybe this is part of the reason. Also little details that made a difference were enough nails, but not too much and almost every nail was set right, leaving a hole to fill, not too many sticking out and making an eye sore. Another detail was gaps were straight and consistent. I could tell when it was a focus, and it made a difference in how much caulking had to be used and effort towards making up for the lack of consistency.

@TheHonestCarpenter 3 года назад

Very good perspective, Hal. Painters are in the best position to identify and benefit from good trim work. My painting skills are so bad, I'm always amazed what good painters can accomplish with bad trim work. There's an art to the cover-up. And good point with the nailing--in my head I've been putting together a trim nailing video for a while. I'm going to draw attention to some of the things you said here. 👍

If there are 2 houses next to each and one just has standard D4 vinyl siding, while the other has D4 Dutch lap siding, the Dutch lap one will be more appealing and most people aren't even able to explain why they prefer the look of the Dutch lap house.

Guess I owe the previous installer a big thank you too.

@spencermccracken60 3 года назад

This may get covered in a later video, but having a consistent reveal helps to hide “forced reveals” caused by hinges and striker plate. Most pre-hung doors have mortise hinges causing a 1/8” reveal, plus a thicker trim will rub against the moving parts of the hinge, so you move the trim another 1/8” (1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4) to prevent rubbing

@georgiafan6618 2 года назад

I’m glad you spoke about the depth of the reveal. Sometimes I stare at the trim and cannot decide. Recently I made a segmented arch using 6” poplar (1-1/8” thick) casing. The width of the casing coerced me to try a deeper reveal. Thank God I did. From a few feet away, the reveal looks perfect and seems to match the other shadow lines in the casing. I’m not an artist and far from a master carpenter, so It doesn’t come naturally to me. Some other trim I did in my house, I wish I had used deeper reveals or thicker materials to improve shadow lines. No one has noticed except me, lol.

Just a bit of trivia if you American chippies are interested. In Australia they call that setback a 'quirk'. 'Reveal size' is generally used to refer to the finished opening size. However, the dressed board around the internal of the window which attaches the window frame to the framing stud is also called the 'reveal'.

This is the first I've heard of reveals. I'm about to replace the bull nose corners around my windows with trim. Now I need to look into this some more to try and make sure I get it done right the first time. Thanks for the great video.

Thanks! Great video. I've used reveals when remodeling but didn't know why!!!!

Another great video. It’s all in the details as you point out so well.

Thanks for your reveal of reveals, a truly revealing technique.

@richarddaugherty8583 Год назад

Thanks for revealing this information! This was informative! As a woodworker I always thought of reveals in terms of how a cabinet door, particularly a flush door, closes and is spaced all around the face frame. Never thought about trim work in a house. I'm about to have a sliding glass door replaced with an Anderson French door set so I'll be watching my contractor for proper reveals!

I think this video answers deep questions I’ve had I didn’t even really know to ask. Lol awesome video and info!

I'm a tile guy , I did all the trim work in my house and did everything using the reveal, I just didn't know why until now . Thank you for your videos I find them very interesting.

Reveals are new to me...like most of carpentry. Thanks for the lesson.

I found this video quite revealing. I'll show my myself out now. Good information.

This is a top example of "if you know you know"- Every house, public building, hotel room, etc. you will now notice the quality of this feature I call "The Quarter Inch". For better or worse.. Thanks for the great content!

Thank you Ethan I think I need to watch it again to understand more carefully I’m a beginner so I love the way you explain things thanks for all you do

Thank you, Kathy! Have a look around your house, especially doors and windows. In 95% of cases you'll find them :)

@kathyr.6825 3 года назад

@@TheHonestCarpenter I just looked at my front door that my favorite carpenter installed and what do you know I see a reveal LOL no wonder his work looks so beautiful he also built me a fireplace from scratch

@@kathyr.6825 Now I’m going to have to look around also my doors and windows. I had new ones installed a year ago.

I'd never thought about it. But now I see it it makes perfect sense.

This is the first time I have heard of reveals. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to seeing a video on the actual step by step process of a real around doors, if you have time to do a video like that. Thanks again.

I had no idea what a reveal is. thank you for explaining that to me. very good explination as well. Look forward to more videos.🙂

Ive never thought about the reveal. But its worth thinking about.

@norastackhouse 5 дней назад

Thank you! We're seeing up our door trim and will use the compass square to create a 1/4" reveal. That'll be easier than creating a jig, which is what I was lookng for because I thought i needed one. This will be easier. Thanks for the info!!!

I love learning about things that I've seen but never really noticed. Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't know this was actually a thing with a name, TIL!

@petermortensen8022 2 года назад

When applied to architraves to doors the reveal makes a nice detail for the door hinge knuckles to sit in.

@danferrel9612 2 года назад

Thanks to this video the trim around a door that I had replaced is now correct. There's a pocket door in the same room that a previous owner had done without a reveal and it totally stands out now that I look at it.

@rinfarinato 3 года назад

Well done video. I set my reveal with regards to the hinge set. I leave a small space so the twisting of the hinge does not cause a squeak by rubbing on the casing when the door is swung.

@TheHonestCarpenter 3 года назад

That’s a good strategy, rin. I see it way too tight on the hinge in some houses.

@kashel83 3 года назад

I loved this video! I had no idea this was the purpose of a reveal, and now I'm walking all over my home to look at all of them. Also, the more of your videos I watch, the more I think of an idea for another video: "Pro carpenter jargon" every time you mention terms of your trade, like "true up" on your last video, I feel like I learn things as bonus from the main subject, and I love that extra feature in all your videos
