Because when you tap it in, it stays together!! I'm a rookie all the way!! Maybe you'd consider the best place to nail in for us rookies?? That would ve great!! Or a start to finish with your cuts included. Thanks so much for the video!! I love the no nonsense!! Don't really care what people have for lunch, as many do...just all knowledge!! Thanks again, best video ever!!

Heres a helpful tip, when you have a piece of paint grade material always put some caulking on the edge of the base before you push it against the tub side. It helps seal the end from water, critical with m.d.f. Also since they are different materials they will expand and contract differently, causing a small gap the caulking will help lessen that.

I purchased this and ended up returning it because the hinge had a lot of slop. It definitely did not live up to Starrett's reputation as a manufacturer of precision tools. I replaced it with the Lexivon aluminum one (which I realize was probably not available at the time this video was shot) and was very impressed by the build quality. You might want to give it a try if you haven't already.

I bought this to help when I am setting up a long (28' max) extension ladder to quickly verify that I have a 75 degree angle between the ground/floor and the ladder. I know it's overkill, but I had an uncle die as a result of a fall from such a ladder, so this tool puts my paranoia to rest. Nice to see in this video what purpose the tool was really designed for. Very professional; should be 100% thumbs up, especially since you include links to the glue and other tools you used in the video! Thanks!

Yes, excellent addition to the tool box! Nice explanation my friend. I work on a lot of jobs where coping is not allowed due to customer preference and we gauge all the corners as we measure for length. We also glue every single joint we make. Using a mitre gauge mostly eliminates the need for test miters, especially with large crown mouldings.

The tool will actually show 46 degrees for a perfect 90 degrees corner. I thought it's broken at first, but it turned out to be an intentional feature. Many carpenters suggest to cut 46 degrees for 90 degrees corners. That way the trim will slightly push against the wall creating super-tight fit ("like a glove").

Knock-downs (the drywall finish on the walls in this video) are hideous. They also make any repair to the wall a much more difficult job. But they weren't invented for the sake of the homeowner. They were invented for the sake of the drywall contractor that wants to hire cheap labor that doesn't have any idea what it's doing. Use of bullnose could easily be a sign that you are dealing with a drywall contractor that only works in production mode. Not quality mode. I've seen the bullnose used as far north as Ocean City, Maryland. That protractor is a great tool, however.

Congratulations on the baby by the way! Please please do a video on scribing long cuts. Your last video you had at least a 10’ long baseboard that rocked on a warped floor. You didn’t show how to fix that. I’m familiar with scribing but have never done it. Question, once installed and nailed in there are micro gaps at the tops of the baseboards due to the wall not being perfectly straight. Also micro gaps at the tops of the bullnose corners. To give a cleaner and tighter look, is the only solution caulking then paint? Thanks for all your tips and videos

@stevemcginn9200
@stevemcginn9200 5 жыл бұрын
Heres how I have learned to scribe base to match humps or dips in floors. If you have a hump, level the base so that you can transfer the hump. To simplify it... if you have 5/16 of a gap on the left of the high spot and 5/8 on the right. Set a scribe to 5/8 of an inch start on the right and mark to the left. Cut the waste side of the line and either belt sand or hand plane to the line to make a cut that matches the floor perfectly. Fast cap accu-scribe are a life saver. They have made 2 variations, are well worth the 13-20 dollars they cost.
@wuddude1599
@wuddude1599 5 жыл бұрын
I do base in sections as a complete, uninterrupted run. So if the base starts at the edge of door casing, turns an inside corner, then an outside corner then stops at a door casing I would cut to length and dry fit for length all those pieces together. That would be a complete run. Cut everything to length and do a dry fit and temporarily tape together any outside miters to keep them from falling. I shim the ends of each piece so the top of each piece is perfectly flush with the one next to it and so that any outside miters are closed. Longer pieces might require a 3rd shim in the middle if they sag. Narrow shims are best so they don't interfere with your scribe. Unless there are fabric panels or some other wall treatment that's going to sit on top of your base and it needs to be level most base doesn't need to be dead nuts level. Generally if there's a fat hump in the middle of a wall I split the difference, but each situation is different. For marking/scribing, and especially for stain grade, I prefer to use masking tape or green painter's tape and a .5mm ink ball type pen in a Home Cheapo compass, it gives a very thin but clear line for jig sawing or freehanding on a table saw and then belt sanding or block planing. For high end residential with somewhat bumpy solid oak floors, (high end as in $550 toilet paper holders in each crapper), I'll remove the ink cartridge of a pen and hot glue it in a small block of wood. If for some reason there's a seam in the floor planks within an inch or 2 it can throw off your scribe if you're using a compass or any of those larger expensive scribing tools. Also, the base might be sitting on a small natural bump but that bump might not extend all the way out to where your big ol' scribing tool is riding. No Bueno! A small block of wood with a hole and a pen in it and some hot glue to secure it is your best bet for bumpy, uneven floors. Like a small chunk of MDF that's 1/2"x1/2"x1" with a hole for the pen cartridge about 3/8" up, or positioned wherever you need. There's a million tricks, and that's just for wall base.

It's a cyanoacrylate. It's essentially the same thing as "Super Glue" but he's using a gel version.

There are several good coping vids on KZfaq. Try to watch as many as possible. A hand coping saw is good but a Collins coping foot is really good if you've got a lot to do. Also, a round file, about 3/8" thick and a small triangular shaped file is good for precise coped joints.

All my coping I use a cordless angle grinder with 36 grit sanding disks. Then fine tune it by hand with sandpaper as needed. It you have to take out a lot of material, back cut the cope with the miter saw, they cope with the grinder. It's super fast

I guess Im old. We called that a scribe fit. Tradesman been doing this for hundreds of years. Also, just as important, is the technique where you glue up first, then nail. Nailing that turn as one piece makes the difference.

Speaking of gluing up first, last year I had the opportunity to use a set of Jim Chestnut's clam clamps for door and window casing. At first I was skeptical because of the 4 pin holes it leaves in the finish, but now after using them, in the words of the Monkeys, I'm a believer. Have you ever used them?

Love the old trick with two blocks where you draw the lines and connect them then know what the bisected angle is on your mitersaw. The pros will know what I’m talking about here. Not as quick as a protractor but helps a ton when you forget it.
