This gives me an idea for a new product. I call it cover-cover-trim. It's trim that is designed to go *over* cover-trim, so it doesn't look so bad. I comes with 10 tubes of caulk.

End result looks like a landlord special

“Good from afar, but far from good”. My sentiments exactly. You never see close ups of anything. If you are a tradesmen, do it like you would do for yourself, or don’t do it at all. And if you are putting out trash, find something else to do

Great content but your reaction was priceless. You almost lost it when you saw the transition and him painting over the piece 🤣🤣

I really enjoy how they explain that base is typically fastened with 18g nails but then go through all this effort to avoid taking existing base off. My guy, the price of the multitool blade you just roasted would get you a set of 3 pry bars.

This is a great idea, I'm glad you decided to do this. It will protect a lot of people; they would be able to see what BAD woodworking is, also it is your responsibility to maintain integrity in your chosen field. GOOD JOB!

I am currently repairing a door casing that a contractor cut to fit a granite countertop. He used two chunks of wood to fill in the casing, not bothering to match the style. This stuff looks exactly like what I am replacing.

I loved this review; I laughed so much at your reaction, I saw the pain, hey it comes down to taking pride in what you do and this missed the mark, thanks.

The oscillating tool is the "sawzall" of trim carpentry.

MORE!! I would love to see a video from yourself reacting to other people doing carpentry on the internet. Maybe even other YouTubers?

[josesalgado]

Not to mention that they didnt cover any nail holes or try to line up the tops of the miters. looks like my first trim job after downing a couple of pints.

This reaction video was great.Looking forward to the next one. Ive been in the trades my whole life, starting

[alatwood]

Really a fan of the reactionary videos! A good teaching tool as well for what to never, ever do. That small block at the end of the base was the dumbest thing I have seen in my years of trim work.

Thanks for maintaining your bearing throughout the process, I too was on the edge of getting mad. You helped keep my sanity.

Caulk and paint DON'T make a carpenter what he ain't

[emergency]

thats crazy... Next idea "Using 2x6 framing lumber as trim, Finished with spray Can stucco" Picture then taken from 300feet away.

I already know these videos will be FANTASTIC!!! Hoping all is well Richard, Dirty Jersey out!!

Something magical happens when a diy project happens where people fail to see their flaws. When it's something they are paying for they would never accept such mediocrity, but if they did it then it's somehow glossed over as good.

[LatheWerks]

Removing old trim is so easy that I pulled it off 2 windows, a door and the floor while the painters were removing cover plates and laying their cloths ... it takes no time

[donaldpyles]

Richard, I am going to love this series. I had to stop watching the Saturday morning DIY shows because of the crap they do. When I saw a so called professional use a hollow core door for a kitchen counter, I had to shut it off. Pallets and hollow core doors are not carpentry. The comment about "do worry if your seam doesn't line up you can caulk them, makes me wonder if this stuff was developed by a caulking company to sell their product. Can't wait for the next video.

Love this new type of video. I watch the plumber reacts videos(also from Texas) a lot so I was eager to watch this. Great job man. Looking forward to more videos like this.
