My wife and I installed the baseboards and trim in our house 15 years ago, and it haunts me to this day. I'm a perfectionist, but had no idea what I was doing and it ain't pretty. Now I know how to fix it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
-
Wonderful mention of proper wood filler. More and more people are feeling comfortable trying their hands at labor and repairs and the majority of proper advice rests in verbal history between tradies. Thanks for making proper instruction for "the next guy."
-
Drydex was your recommendation in your old video "The Easiest Way to Get Perfect Miters Every Time!!!" Glad to see even the pros like you are constantly learning and improving your craft.
-
Short, but extremely useful info, just perfect! "Better than 99% of the miters" - so true, I've never seen a good miter in the "builder-grade" houses. The pieces aren't even in the same plane!
-
Man, that fancy hair is on point! Great tips for us DIYers as aways!
-
Such great tips. In addition to your fancy hair - I appreciate how you demo using such great props/pieces in great light. So many DIY tips are in hallways, lit with a phone and it is so hard to see. Your instructions are so clear and especially when you note where "some mistakes" are made. Thank you so much!
-
Excellent as always! I’ve been remodeling a house for the past couple of years and your tips and tricks have been a life saver!
-
That moment you watch a informative and well made DIY video and say to yourself I rather get pissed off at MY mistakes through a learning curve instead of being pissed off daily by seeing shoddy work from "reputable" builders. God bless friend and appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with us. It's going to be a "hairy" endeavour but I'm gonna give it a go. 🙏💪

The Zinsser BIN primer is fantastic. Did a remodel on a home with a lot of stained oak cabinets, and some painted pine beams with knots bleeding through. The BIN sealed up everything beautifully.
-
I'm a newbie to all of this having just started learning this stuff during my transition from full time job to these sorts of projects. I can't wait to get corners like yours! Thanks for the info! You are helping more people than you realize.
-
Appreciate how your videos are thorough, concise, and clear. I find them very, very, useful. Thank you!!
-
I'm watching from the UK. I'm looking for some tutorials for a long time to paint my old doors. Finally, I got the confidence to paint my door. Thanks a lot.
-
Yes! The Bin shellac primer is amazing! I was just introduced to this and was super impressed. A bit pricey, but 1 coat on bare wood and dries in minutes... totally worth it! And definitely digging the fancy hair!
-
Spot on. That's how I do it, and my customers are always very pleased with the results. Have a great day.
-
Thanks for sharing! I didn't know it's best to use an oil based primer on bare wood. I'm adding that to my home depot list.
-
Why I always use caulk instead of wood filler (30 years as a painter): wood filler is not pliable while vinyl or hybrid caulking is. There is a reason why these corners look like that… they are still moving/settling. That wood filler will crack within a month while the caulk will flex and last longer.
-
I use Bondo. It is structurally strong and will adhere the two pieces together plus fill the gap then finish as shown in the video.
-
Great tips in a short cohesive video. I learned some of these steps the hard way. Definitely improved over time.
-
your hair is fancy

I've been doing this type of restoration/refresh work for years. I use carpenters wood glue first. That's the key to making these joints solid and able to take a good door slamming.
