Wow!! I just learned a lot about cutting the corners the saw turning it around and coping saw!! Best video

Here’s a tip, when hanging base if you are right handed go anti clockwise around the room. That way you are always cutting on your scribed joint on the right. I’ve been a carpenter for over 30 years and I promise this will save you a ton of time.

“When the OCD kicks in” - so relatable 🤣.

The best baseboard install video I've seen, super informative, I'm doing mines in a couple weeks. This video helps me feel more confident about it

[lisasingleton]

Great video - I'm helping out a friend and your tips make me look like a professional (or at least shows I know what I'm doing). You explained it very simple and concise. Thanks!

[DrakeTeran]

Great video.. Had a nice honey-do project, putting up 2 murphy beds, which required removal of the existing baseboard. This video gave me all the confidence needed, to cut my baseboards and fit them nicely beside the beds. You even answered my question to paint them prior to install and they came out great!! Thank you kindly!! 😁

[maymaiden]

You explained it so much better than a lot of the videos I have been watching! Thank you!!

[mayalynn]

I wish I'd seen this before we started our baseboards... Such a good technique.

[wagnum]

Great video! Only issue I saw was pushing in the base with your thumb right on the corner where you're nailing. That nail can turn and go through your thumb. I found that out from experience!

[revelationakagoldeneagle]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
My OCD stays in high gear 😁
Have to make it right, keep it real.
I've always said, "Do it right, or just don't do it!"

Excellent tip on coping after first cutting with chop saw most of the cut.
Outside corners 46 degrees, inside corners 44 degrees due to mud buildup. Popsicle sticks as shims for perfect fit.
Also try cutting with baseboard upside down. For some baseboard profiles, the fit is better when cut upside down.
Fast curing glue with activator is a great tip. Thanks.

I seriously wish I had seen this before we were more than half done with our downstairs! At least I have the knowledge for the upstairs. Thanks!

[charleshamilton]

Always cut longest pieces first, the cut offs will do the smaller stuff.

[wecomeinpeace]

Didn't think we'd notice the caulk at 6:43 lol. Well done.

[stevedaiber]

I never remember this trick of the trade and have to go back to see but this is the best video out there for me...thks so much!

[phenglee]

Simple explanation for beginners. Keep these coming.

[bobjons]

Absolutely beautiful work. I love your perfection…sub added. Thank you for sharing your expertise in your videos.

[oneluckydude]

I like to use a small bucket of water to rinse my finger of the excess caulking. I use a wet towel to wipe off any remaining excess caulking after initially using my finger to wipe off caulking because over time, the thin film of caulking spread by the finger over unintended areas tend to darken over time.

[brendakeiner]

The OCD kicks in…😂😂
GREAT info! Thank you!

[thomasflynn]

Having some ocd is a good thing I wish I had a little more but not too much beautiful job great vid thank you
