Hey great video! You did an awesome job. My doors are so messed up Haha. House was built 1913. Side note. As an electrician, the faceplate on the light switch suddenly caught my eye. Tell your electrician that he doesn't have to tighten those 4 screws! It warps the crap out of the plates. The switches are already secure to the gangbox and the plate is just for decorative purposes and to cover the sides. I barely tighten those and I always leave the scew slits in the same direction haha. It probably looks just as bad to me as the double reveal on a long tapered strip looks to you 🤣

Tip for when the realtor hasn't left a nice pad of paper for you -- I slap a few layers of painters tape or masking tape on the side of my tape measure. Layer it on -- first left-to-right, then top-to-bottom -- this way you can peel off the top layer easily when you want to discard it, and you're left with a clean "pad" to scribble measurements on! Your tape measure follows you from work piece to the saw, so your list of measurements might as well! Cheers!

@@Cindy25Cox Stain grade trim is trim that you stain rather than paint a solid color, i.e., a natural wood finish rather than painted. You can't caulk when you're assembling stained trim, so it's a lot less forgiving.

Tip: angle cut on a table saw. Mark your angle line on the wood that you are going to cut. Take another board and lay it on top of the line or offset from the line, your choice. Then screw the two boards together. Now you have one board parallel to the blade and fence and the other board on top or bottom your choice screwed to the parallel board at the angel. Set your fence and rip.

I have a sliding block wedge strip gig. Tilt saw to 5 degrees and rip a block. Flip it and add a stop to the trailing edge. Now you can make 10 degree bevel strips. These can be tucked into small tapered gaps until they fit. Then you use an extended snap point knife to trim them flush. They’ll fit perfectly without the need for caulk. Putty and paint make it what it ain’t! It might even work for stain grade!

I've done quite a few of these, but instead of making a wedge shaped piece, I just loosened the bottom of the casing and made a 7/16th jam extension so it looks the same all the way down. You wouldn't see the gap behind the casing because its so close to the corner and it would be caulked anyway. Turned out alright I guess.

Try 20 minute drywall mud mixed to the consistency of a thick paste. Sets faster than wood filler and a lot cheaper. It is very durable , barely shrinks can be carved very easily when it first sets up. Otherwise you could have stuck with a even extension jamb and hid the tapered gap behind the casing to the wall.

Thank you, I had a LOT of door jamb to wall issues in my basement finish and I used the 20 minute mud just like you. That's been three years ago and no cracks or peeling. I'm just not good with wood small trim fillers. just never cuts right and most of time I break them getting them nailed to the wall/jamb. And just like the video I was going for "Good Enough". I do use the "Stinky primer/ Paint" (can't never remember the name of it) but it put out fumes and it does cover and dries FAST. The people that live in the basement {relatives) don't pay any rent so they don't complain.

For stain grade or if I want it to be less obvious I build a custom door jamb tapered to fit the opening. With that wider style stop trim most people won’t even see it. Another option if the door is already installed is I remove the stop trim, if possible, and make a custom wide stop trim that tapers to fit the opening then set the door trim over the stop to cover the crack between the stop and jamb making the reveal on the new stop trim.

Another fun way to make that tapered rip... Using a table saw, and not freehand.. Tape 2 boards together, put a spacer between the boards on 1 end the size of the larger end of the gap. Then cut as normal against your fence.. Option B,, make your fence longer and just put the spacer on the board you are cutting.. Works well, but always remember to pay attention to what the saw is doing and keep your digits away from that blade.

I've got this problem at the bottom of the stairs that go down to my and my neighbor's basements. The drywall had pulled away from the wall after decades of the door slamming. Started with a wood strip that's a little smaller than the casing, and that holds the screws I used to pull the drywall in as far as it would go. Over that, I'm going to glue on a resin impression I made of the casing I used on the rest of the frame, in order to hide the screws. There will still be a small gap, so I'll caulk that and when the caulk shrinks, I'll level it with joint filler and sand it.

Idk what I would have done without the block plane, the table saw burned through it pretty bad but I was able to clean it up nicely with the plane. Might even be easier on stain grade tbh since you don't have to worry about caulk cracking down the road. A hairline crack between pieces of oak fits in much better than a hairline crack on a white painted surface

Perfect they I found this. I was just thinking about this issue as I had to replace an exterior door. I got the old stucco moulding and doorframe out and new pre-hung door in without breaking the stucco but putting it all back together.. that's the trick. It's a 4" pre-hing door but the wall with the stucco and drywall is almost 7" and of course the new door is plumb and the wall is not. So I set the door just even or a bit shy of he drywall and the casing there is easy. It is the new stucco moulding and those inside tapers that have me scratching my head. I'll wrap the corners from behind the scratch to the framing for water proofing. The question is do I cut the sides and have the square edge to support the stucco moulding or do i have the square edge against the pre-hing door frames? Second is should I try to do it as one piece 3" wide with a taper or just go in 1st with a straight 2" piece and then cut the strip like you show here? My 1st thought was to cut the taper on a wider piece and keep the square side against the door frame. Tsper to the stucco moulding since it wanders anyway. Then seeing this I thought the copposite. I really need better support for the stucco moulding so it needs to be flush up against the side casings. If there's a gap that's caulked between the door frame and side casing extension because of the taper it's less critical there. Advice welcome. Be kind. It's my 1st for like this. Confused in California.

Thank you for this. The doors and walls in my house are all sorts of wonky. I have to install 3 doors (two are replacements). This should come in handy. I discovered that some of my walls are thicker than I realized so there will be gaps. If you're going to be caulking it, you could put a nail or screw on the face and use those to grab it to pull it in and out of the gap. If you don't want to put holes in it you may be able to use some sort of doublesided sticky tape to grab it, but something that pierces would probably be more effective. I despise MDF! I'll spend a little more to get pine, composite, or pvc. I live in a humid climate though so MDF does not hold up well.

use Bondo car repair putty it comes in squeeze tubes and dries quickly. It is also good for wet situations just not under water.

Sometimes better is good enough, so true, and not to be confused with better is the enemy of good

whats everyones preference in caulk for this? does Alex plus work or does it end up cracking and shrinking and looking like crap? what about if its painted? I’ve had good luck with DAP Dynaflex 230. worth the added cost.
