Been strugling for years with baseboards and unstraight walls. Never occured to me threading the brads when you can't find the studs. Best tip I've ever had. Watched a half doz vids today you're the only one that shared this tip. Cheers and thank you.

This is good. Getting the outside corners tight is definitely the priority.

Good video man! You are down to earth and don't spend time on nonsense and your own praise, very refreshing!

I've been binging on your videos. Haha the last message was very motivational,go do something. Ug. I offered to help a friend's rental be more inviting and I've so far been a wreck. I made boxes to fit in the attic dormer door openings. Can't figure a design and stick with it. So now I'm tryin to plan baseboards on a budget,and found your video on glue..ug my attention is that of a mouse.but I do enjoy seeing my favorite KZfaqr,it's like , I said before in a sort of creepy way I guess..but it's like getting the attention I need from my son who is so much like you in looks and personality it's well..my daily routine now. Sorry to ramble on but there it is. Thank you for your spirit and your humor and the instruction on some of my dumb ideas .you really help me figure stuff out .. especially what not to do with a nail gun!

I wish I would have known about threading before this video

The threading tip was the most helpful in the video ~ good one Ben.

Another great video mate. Congrats on 100K well earned. Can’t believe you find the time to make helpful videos along side running a business. Keep going mate 👍🏼

I crack up so much when you refer to your hands as "dainty" 😂 I've always been told I have man hands, so we could totally be bff's 😂

Congrats on 100K!! Great job Ben!

I used cyano for the first time on some door molding on a recent bathroom remodel after watching your last video about it and as a DIYer I'll probably never go back to the old method. It came out perfect and was so much faster and easier. I can see why pros might not want to with the extra cost but when you're doing it rarely as a DIYer it's definitely worth it.

As always, informative and entertaining. 👍🏻👍🏻

You make the best videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Love that scrap tip bud!

Congratulations! 100K Subscribers!! Thanks for another great tip!

As a fellow canuckistanian installer I approve of this technique

I always always learn something from you . Thank you .

I do kitchen installs, I use CA and accelerator for the mitres on the deco strips ontop of the cabinet and the valence strips under it. Makes life a lot easier, if you get a good joint the inside looks almost factory flush.

When I'm running baseboards, I try not to use a tape measure and introduce errors. I'll hold the (overly long) piece in place, and use a scrap on the other surface (above the piece I'm marking) and make a mark with a very fine mechanical pencil (0.9mm), and put a line (away from the length mark) showing which way the miter is to be cut. . For the short runs, there is usually a cut off piece that is long enough to have a few inches trimmed off, so the same process on that. I will also go around before I start with a Starett miter gauge and write down all the angles directly on the wall where it will be covered (inside and outside corners) so that I have the setting for my saw for when I do the outside miters, or for doing the inside copes.

Thanks for the safety tip.

hold on a minute... was the Vancouver Carpenter actually doing carpentry instead of drywall???? hahahaha just messing with you bro, cool video keep up the good work.

That's a good idea, holding the scrap piece up so you can measure to the long point of the miter, then being able to cut the miter first and pull your measurement from the long point. I will definitely try that next time I have to cut tall base that my saw can't handle without cutting flat

Thank you for your videos sir! Very informative.

Excellent video.

Thanks for the video!

threading good idea. never saw before. tks for sharing

Great vid. Congratulations on the 100k subs!

Never used or seen that product. But I do thread all baseboards. Also I loved them end it made my day. 😄

Some advice? Keep some wax paper close to keep from gluing to the floor. Stand your pieces, easier to align the heights I like to check my fits to the casings first, scribe and cut if needed. CA glue is awesome to work with. I have used it in exterior applications as well. It works well with the new vinyl boards as well

I was big on just using pva glue but lately Ive been doing a whole lot of base and found the CA glue method alot faster and I'm getting nicer results. One thing I would say this when you have that springing affect where you just push the peice in and even if the the miter holds its best to go back to the saw and fix your angle by half a degree or whatever. It will look better, your peice will lay more strait against the wall, and their isn't stress on the joint. It would suck if you came back after its painted and the miter opened up.

What you call threading, I call a lock-nail. Great vid!

I see that Fast Cap tape! I have the same one haha. It's really close to Fat Max markings 👍

Nice cross technique for wavy walls

I thought Vancouver is in Canada. And I thought Canada is a metric country. But I could be wrong. There is an advantage of the metric system over imperial thou. We don't have to count those little fractions of an inch!!! What if we have brick walls and hard plaster slapped on uneven walls??? Thanks for the video thou!

Your the best!!!

This guy is pretty good

Como siempre muy buen video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Finish Carpentry TV got me started on CA glue. I use it a lot now. Glad to see you're using it too!

"Get on with your day - it's all waiting for you..." Methinks you need a catch phrase to end your videos - you know, like "...and that's the way it was..." kinda thing. Great vid!

Sometimes Ben sounds like Deadpool Especially at 2:31 - 2:36

Threading?? Thank you for a new tip!!

Been looking for your "installing baseboard video" - I'd like to see how you clamp those corners.

I'm so jealous of that mitre saw...

hello love the videos, do you have a video where you do not use miters. you talk about it in another one but I can't find, thanks

Definitely keep that bead away from the outside edge though, because if there is any squeeze out, you have almost no time to wipe it off before it sets (especially when using activator). It's annoying on a nice crisp painted edge when you have to try to scrape off hardened CA glue... ask me how I know.

where do you get the glue and accelerator? I've tried to locate it here in Hawai'i but to no avail. Maybe a link? Good video BTW!! Love learning about "stitching"

Got baseboards coming up, im going to try it, where you get your glue and spray? I didnt see at hd. Thanks Man !!!

Have you ever made a vanity top from cement? What Do you think of them? I am going to make one this week for my 2nd bath it will be 22 by 33 by 1 1/2. Not the biggest and I can handle it my self. A first attempt. Just wanted to know your thoughts on them.

Which brand nailer is that? It's so quiet!

When I watched my finisher installing door trim and baseboard in my new house (with rounded outside corners), he used a Hot Glue Gun to do the same as you did with Cyanoacrilate ... (when I heard you call-out "fifty-four and a half plus" instead of '54 & 17/32nds', ---I thought you'd been eavesdropping as I measure and cut :)

what do you think is the best method to caulk the bottom of baseboards? Im about to install them as I just laid laminate. but we have a silverfish issue so i want to seal off their entrances. (let the neighbors deal with it :P)just use tape? cheers great video

I used this glue on some crown molding and when I sprayed the activator. It turned the white wood yellow. What did I do wrong

Easy way to find a stud behind finished wall - little magnet on a thread, it will find a nail or screw in it.

Don't worry, I'll be worrying excessively about doing outside corners because I've never done one before and I always overstress things the first time I do it then get grumpy at myself because I made a mistake the first time because for some reason I expect myself to do it perfectly on the first try... Brains are arseholes sometimes XD

Yes! Keep your free hand back away from the nail! I had one come through the baseboard, into the flesh of my thumb and back out through the thumbnail. Fortunately, it missed the bone, and came out easily. Could have been a disaster.

Is 1.75” nails long enough to get into the stud through plaster walls?

Hey VC. What's your vacuum setup?

What kinda of Environmental issues are there with the CA glue

Why does the phone ALWAYS ring *right in the middle of the actual glue application*? not just before, as you're opening the glue, or just after the clamps go on when you can put it down....

When I do a measurement that is 64 1/2 plus a little, I will think 64 1/2 plus 1 or 2, or minus 1, thinking of the 64ths of an inch between the typical 1/16 inch marks on a tape. So in other words 64 1/2 plus 1 64th or 2 64ths

Welcome back to 2012

Gotta buy me some accelerator!...

Nailing along the water???

The Vancouver guy gets hotter by the video.

Glue a kickflip.

You gonna give props to finish carpentry tv for showing you how to CA glue your boards?

Maybe don't measure 2nd until 1st is in

I want to hear you play piano...lol

You have "over spray" in your hair.

Блин, если б ты ещё по русски гутарил , ...

Cyanide glue?😲

1/ Never presume the but ends are square in either direction, I noticed you didn't fit tight against the architrave which needed filling. 2/ Never glue together as you did, instead put both pieces together in situ when glueing.

.....and the worst of us.....lol

CA Glue on the outside, cope on the inside!

Wear mask when cutting MDF

You'd make a good house wife!

It's not 1,000,000,000 % ?! Fail.

Who uses MDF? lol
