Molding Design Plans: jonpeters.com/m...
Building a model for a trim and molding project is a great way to see what the molding will look like before it's installed and understand how everything comes together.

Jon, you are the reason I became really interested in woodworking. I was a hairdresser for 15 years, now a nurse for about 4 years. Your videos make woodworking so easy, so I began buying some tools and built some little projects. I realized it is Not so easy for a beginner! I made so many mistakes !!! I will stick to nursing for a living but on my spare time I will be enjoying building stuff after watching your videos!! Thanks for being a great teacher and sharing your tips and tricks! Hilda.

One of the qualities that is really great about Big Stretch is that it is chemically friendly with mineral oil unlike silicone caulk. I found out about silicone caulk and mineral oil not co-habitating the hard way when we installed a teak kitchen counter. The contractor used silicone caulk and we treated the counter with mineral oil initially and regularly to maintain it. The silicone caulk shriveled up and looked terrible, lost all qualities for which you use it except some adherence. I had to remove it all which was a very difficult, tedious job. Neither the contractor nor the architects had ever heard of the problems with silicone and mineral oil. I researched many, many products until I found Big Stretch. I performed some experiments and found it got along just fine with mineral oil. The only problem is that it is water based. Getting it to dry and cure around the sink is an ongoing struggle we are still coping with. But, I hope anyone else thinking of using wood in a similar environment might benefit knowing this in advance. Great videos, by the way!

TVs get bigger every year, which is why building a surround cabinet is generally a bad idea. My last house had a big inset for a tv above the fireplace, yet too small for the tv, so I had to build a custom box with a tv mount that had a 2 foot arm to extend out far enough to hang the tv just beyond the inset wall.

@angellas.1314 2 жыл бұрын

So I have a technical Q. Why do you shoot the nail in at the roundest part of the base boards? It becomes impossible then to hide the nails, and fill it to a perfect dome profile. My carpenter did the same and it’s impossible to make the profile round again, and it shows thru the paint as well.

One question for you. I am planning construction where I will place AC duplex outlets in the base trim. How do you go about accurately cutting these holes in the trim, after the power boxes are already installed in the base of the wall?

@siegfriedbraun5447 5 жыл бұрын

Great work and attention to detail. I've found, however, the best place to spot a nail, after painting, is by placing it on the bead. Best to do that in a groove or flat area, so the filler can be sanded more easily. I note too, that putting bevels on the outsides of the cut of the caulking nozzle will more accurately put the caulk where it's needed, with less excess.

I have internal doors in my hallway which are standard width but a little too wide in total for standard width trim/casings. In addition one side is narrower than the other. The trims have been cut down to suit but it just doesn't look good. Should I rip all the trim for sides and top of doors to the same width? Can a casing be too narrow?

@haroldobrien4322 6 жыл бұрын

Great video and helps if one is using painted trim. How do you fill these gaps if one is going with a non-painted finish on the trim? I understand using filler between joints but how would you fill the gaps, say on the top of the base molding?

On new or remodel construction, is there a rule of thumb when picking or designing trim? For example, in new construction, if there are high ceilings or a very spacious room it might look odd to have have general 3 1/2" baseboards. For aesthetic and balance of the room I would assume the width of the baseboard would have be a rough percentage of the room/home total square footage plus ceiling height. The same question would be applied to casing and crown. Should crown be the same width as baseboard? Does it not matter? Is there a general rule of thumb when deciding? Thanks

With molding I typically use adhesive in the back, and use store brand caulking in the crack. Still cracking occurs seasonally. Would switching to big stretch eliminate the need for adhesive in the back?

I have a question for molding a door. I have a door that I molded on the left and top of the door. I can't mold the right because the previous owner put a wall next to the door.

That’s a tough one... sounds like you’ll need to fill the gap with a wooden shim on the side of the molding. And then fill with caulk or joint compound.
