I literally redid all the drywalling, flooring, and baseboards just off of your videos. You sir are a treasure.

Man I hate that people hassle you about your videos. They’re great. Awesome. I love watching your stuff when I need advice. I trust your info. You’re a good guy.

I don't know why anyone gives you a hard time. You do great work. And, I really appreciate your teaching by showing us how it's done. Thanks.

I love your honesty and transparency in the carpentry trade. I’m in the beginning stages of starting my own handyman business and it’s encouraging to see that we all have the same struggles. It takes a creative mind and confidence to solve the complex issues that arise in this field of work. Thank you for your reassurance and tips. ❤

I legit was about to install this same baseboard in my house tomorrow. The 46/44 corners makes a hell of a lot of sense. Thanks for that tip!

This guy is the absolute best. I've learned so much about painting and drywall from this channel... now I'm finally seeing him do carpentry!

As a newer maintenance tech (been doing it for 6 months after 10 years at my previous job) you've helped me out tremendously man. Thanks so much! Your knowledge and skills are awesome!

Good job. When you say ‘won’t see that from my house’ reminds me of an older guy i used to work with who’d always say ‘a guy going by on horseback won’t see that’.

Needed a coffee after the tips. Good one. Nice weather, good equipment and going at it at your own pace. Oh Yah, "It's just a rental" which was the best tip of the day.

Watching your videos, I'm continually reminded of why I love metric. 😁

Love all the hard work, "in a dumpy rental".

MAN I wish my compound miter saw was able to cut 45 degrees when I set it to 45 degrees....

It's the saving the spider that is my favorite part 😂

Your videos seem to be coming out right in the time frame of the project I have going on. I'm helping my son to remodel his 1916 home and the information you are providing has been very useful so thank you and keep them going

Ben, I really admire the integrity and humility that you exude in your videos. It’s one of the main reasons I watch them. Super helpful tips on baseboards and I’m looking forward to the rest of this remodel.

I stumbled upon your channel a couple years ago looking for some simple Sheetrock tips that I hadn’t learned, and seeing that you’re kind of the jack of trades as I am makes this one of my favorite channels cause you put all of the tips and tricks out there that others don’t do. Cheating trim a degree or two to make your corners tight, etc.

Good job and entertaining Ben, you're a funny guy and a real human being! When you keep missing the stud along the top of the baseboard, why keep nailing at the bottom when all those nails should be hitting the bottom plate anyway? I'm going to guess just a reflex action. Not a big deal though leave it for the painter, who I'm just going to guess is YOU!

So entertaining and just what I needed to tackle today's project. Baseboards for the first time for me with dad's mitre saw. Thank you! I will keep watching your other videos!

Love Watching your videos. You make me laugh. I always mess up or whatever. And always say I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. LOLS! Especially when I start getting tired. Sometimes I can't even get on my knees. At 65, and I can hardly get back up. LOLS. Say Hi To The kidos. And have a Blessed Day.

God I love your personalty. "Strong joints" hahahahaha! Thanks for the baseboard class professor VC.

In all honesty, flat stock trim is actually my favorite. It's what my dad installed in our house when he completely remodeled our house, and I just love the look. The crap in my current house is yucky. It has that rounded edge, it breaks easy, and it's stained from the 1980's. So, in my $156k house, I'm putting flat stock trim 😂

When I fudge up trimwork, I just tell myself "putty and paint make a carpenter what he ain't."

I love the long frustrated sighs! So much more realistic for me lol! Thank you for your videos, I need this!

Appreciate the tips, thanks for all the content.

Another well done video! I appreciate you going through the finer details and the tricks to make the job look good 👍 you also have a nack for explaining things really well, that makes sense. I hope you do more finish carpentry videos in the future.

Your sense of humor its gold. Thanks for the vids brother. Keep at it. We're all humans and sometimes we make mistakes. Laugh about and get er' done.👌💪💪💪

Dude, Canadian folks are so chill

Just so you know, I don’t mind at all when things don’t work out perfectly. Helps me a lot just to hear you work it out.

Love this guy's attitude.

I love that you mentioned the strong joints. Had to pause the video and comment this because that’s exactly what I did😂 nice little refresher after a long days work 👍🏼😂

The Bob Ross of renovation

Wait just a minute. I came here for DRYWALL info, and this vid is about WOOD! What’s going on here, VC??? 😂

Thanks for teaching us this in an entertaining way. I'm working on my house now and you came in handy. Also thanks for being cool to the spiders. The only insects a hit should be put on is mosquitos, roaches, fleas and flies.

Hey I have that same saw! Nice work bud it helps to show the real story when remodeling...nithing goes as planned exactly and ya gotta fix the other guys mess ups...it takes a certian finesse!

Using my favorite hammer there. Estwing 16oz. I also have my Dads from 1963. Many cool things have been built with that hammer over the years.

You crack me up man. Keep up the good work. Love your videos. Working on a small house reno and have watched a lot your vids for tips and tricks over the last few weeks.

"looks good from my house" - that's my new favourite saying

I used to watch several videos by multiple people to learn techniques, I don’t even go any farther than the Vancouver Carpenter any more !

Just started watching your channel. Great advice. Thanks for all the great tips. My daughter came in and started watching too, but she thought I was watching " The Carbanaro Effect " You DO look and sound like him! I appreciate your "magic" more. Lol

Being directed here by the funny carpenter after being subscribed to your skateboard channel for years and never having watched one of these is a very strange experience. Enough KZfaq for today 😂 Keep up the awesome content. This is going to help with my home repair, to go along with the shoe reviews.

The best carpenters helper of all time .... 6 tubes of DAP

OMG this video was hilarious! "I just like my joints to be really strong" "I'm serious, I am a pro" "painters gonna love me" "That looks good from my house" "Splap! That's the technical term" 😆

Excellent, you are so precise and accurate plus professional, God bless you.

This is exactly what I need !!!! Thats why I love your channel !!! Thank you sir!

This is painfully real. Thanks for sharing

Thank You, Thank You... Keep up the good work!

very helpful. And timely. Just so happens I'm putting in baseboard next week.

Love your videos, I show me things that I don't see in other videos.

first time I watched a video on base boards , I really enjoyed . very good tutorial,👍

You are doing a great job. A lot of info for us non pros.

I've used dynaflex to stick down loose lay vinyl, worked great. having a flashing tape brayer to help roll it out after is good, but your foot works too

If you stand the piece up you dont need to tilt the saw, just move the base

I use a miter guage to get my angles perfect. Also I use 2 ledger sticks cut from pvc molding. I use a 5 foot stick and a 10 inch stick to place against the wall in one corner . I measure from the opposite corner up to my 10 in or 5 foot stick. This let's me get a precise measurement . I found 5 foot works for most rooms bedroom or living room size for average homes and 10" I use mostly for baseboard work .

Great videos! Great personality. I guess it's because you look like my uncle, when he was young.

Nice! I like it! It's also good to know I'm not the only goofball out there doing work on homes. After all, my business name had to come from something from my era (zuba's, skateboarding, and street rap) and also make sense to my customers, but when I tell them how I got the name they laugh (from MC Hammer). I always love watching your videos and checking out your skate sessions! Btw: I almost always fall flat asleep on the couch right when I get home while my 2 boys are talking to me...👍

This is real carpentry. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to look perfect.

Short and sweet, I love your videos, I’m subscribed with all notifications and I think you do better work than 99 percent of your negative commenters ever could. Nice work brotha I’ll keep watching

Really enjoyed this video Ben! That last shot at 41:13 min was bingo!

I learned so much from this video, it was very helpful. Someone get this man a coffee!! lol

We all had some strong joints back in the day. Then used power tools!

Love your videos and your sense of humor!

Awesome video Ben !! Thanks for all the great tips. :))

Hey man, Kevin here from Australia. This was a awesome video seeing it was done in a dumpy rental. Anyhoo stay safe and healthy man. ✌🏻 Peace

I always tried to stay away from putting 45s on inside corners and either cope or run through and butt in like you mentioned you usually do. Love your videos and all the helpful tips! Keep doing what you’re doing.

So handsome and funny :-) Thank you for the great vid. I'm about to install profiled baseboard floor molding over a vinyl plank floor I just installed. Thank you again.

I'm learning a lot from this channel - even though we're metric in New Zealand :O)

Awesome video. I learned a lot and I'll be using some of these tips and tricks in my job

❤️ how you rescued the spider !

Funny how skaters end up in the trades. I'm here!

Absolutely the best possible timing for this video. Thank you!

You are so funny. Enjoy your videos.

Vancouver Carpenter provides carpentry tips?! What is this madness?! Thanks for the vid Ben :)

Fun video. One thing I like to do is leave the saw pulled out away from fence, whenever I leave it set to an odd angle.

Love watching your videos. The only thing I would have done differently with this skirting is also make them plumb when doing the external mitres. I would also use a gauge to get the exact angle.

Love the videos, your skilled brother!

I like your style easy going! Good job!

Great job! You are making it look good, while you teach!

this one geeked me. looks good from house...

Don't remember the specifics, but when I used to help my dad on some jobs, I remember one of the guys installing baseboard putting a small 2x4 behind the baseboard to bend it out a bit, nail it in place, then slide it down to the next spot. Was always curious to the "why" behind it, but never seen it done since...

The video was a disaster till you hit the “looks good from my house” line. Really doesn’t ever get old. Beautiful save.

You manage to make some of the more mundane truly entertaining. Poor camera guy having to hold in his laughter, can’t be healthy.

Awesome job!

Awesome videos nobody is perfect at making videos.

I thought you were going to grab a little residual sawdust from your saw for that last outside corner:) Great video!

Oh those fractions make me go nuts! Use millimeters, centimeters and meters guys! Much more precise and easier to understand than using you thumbs and feet for measurements.

Was a good video, I learned a lot! Thanks bro 😎

Quote of the Video " Seriously, I am a Pro"

good work

Dumpy rental eh? Love the humour. Would ALSO love if you put in the description the products that you use. It would save me going second by second to try and read the lavels :D

Have you had those Tommy Hilfiger socks since 1992? Another great video, thanks!

I sanded my leg with a flap disc. Glanced off board. I was wearing shorts. Much bigger grinder.

Where you get the long long stock like those???? And real wood!!!! 😮😮😮

You still shooting your skating videos? I remodeled my house last year and I cut all the base boards in my house. I wish I used you 44, 46 degree idea. It took me a week to complete the job. My house is modern design and I used a simple 5 inch square cut MDF. I painted all my boards prior to cutting the boards. It was a lot of work and you are correct mocking 16 foot boards in the house is a pain in the neck. I used a Diablo blade on the saw. I also bought a Milwaukee battery nail gun vs a compressor gun. I loved using that gun. It was so much easier for me to use. One battery last the whole day. My job came out nice after i caulked the boards. My knees hurt a ton for a week after the job.

Damm! to late, i already install my baseboards last winter! Good tip for the futur work to!

Great teachings. I also have a Makita, but the nails I have will skip every fourth nail., even though I oil the fitting. What brand nails (Brad's) do you put in your Makita?

Do you ever worry about hitting a water line in the wall? Is it worth findings the studs along the way? Thanks

Nobody seems to cope the inside miters and returning the ends into itself that I learned from my father as a trim carpenter. That solves a lot of angle problems, and it will never separate...

Good job

Indeed. Words are hard. I understand and agree wholeheartedly.

out of curiosity, is there a difference in measuring the back of the board from the front of the board?
