This is super interesting and I'm intrigued to learn more and more. Please keep them coming.

Fabulous content. Love it.

I’m curious what your take on CNC mill shops is. I’m just starting to see moldings cut by machines available that have a good depth to them for far cheaper then I could find before. Are you optimistic about any of it?

Do you have a link or something for us to see what books you have published?

This is epic!

Could CNC and 3D printing be the key to bringing back proportional molding and making it affordable?

Sounds to me like this really comes down to taste, rather than good or bad quality. education can refine taste, but it cannot make your 1$ budget become 200$ hand carved budget. Ultimately these are decorative elements not structural. And if you like a simple “confusing” molding that maybe has the wrong size dental features, that maybe only costs two dollars a foot, it doesn’t harm your house in any way. If you like how it looks, well thats good enough. Especially if its a 400k home, noone that will visit your house will know or care that its “wrong” So unless you are restoring a period home or something, or have a really expensive home, and your friends need to be impressed, pick whatever you like. Who cares if a cavetto is traditional, if you like it, maybe in 100 years that will be traditional for 2020s

A society that has forgotten how to produce beautiful architecture is a society that traded ageless homes that last forever for classless McMansions that last 40 years. The state of architecture today is as bad as if our authors had completely forgotten how to spell or communicate an idea. The lessons that Brent Hull is giving in these videos are more important than some of these commentors can understand. Homes are more than mere shelter, otherwise, we'd all live in tin boxes or caves. If you consider yourself a "professional" in the building industry then you need to have professional knowledge of what you are doing. Don't listen to the detractors, Brent!

I would really like it if you could break off into the historical periods for whole videos and explain how you can recreate all the different types of moldings for houses of different calibers with modern products at different price levels. I understand we can always contract one of the companies that you work with but people in the Cheap Old Houses movement are buying their old houses because they can’t afford to build a new old-style home. You might even need a whole video for each caliber home from each era. We want to buy fancy or classic houses that are abandoned that we could never afford to build and fix them up to look as nice as we can without breaking the bank. I really like the idea of the content that’s being shared here and I understand you’re trying to share a lot of content at a general level but it’s coming off as very rushed and sporadic because I can tell you’ve got so much to say. I can tell that you know your stuff and I want more.

So maybe just don’t have this guy for dinner parties and you can pick whichever molding you like- cause no one else knows about dental spacing best practices… okay
