that trick on back cutting the casing for the proud drywall is nice. I will be using that for sure.

You make trim work look so easy. Masterful. I wish I could do that someday

[WalterMelons]

Decided after I redid my door casings once that I’ll do a craftsman style for the next house. No miters, looks classy, soo much easier. Great video 👍

Another great video, Jon. Thank you for taking the time. I Love craftsman style casing. I have it throughout my house. I know you don’t need any tips, and it doesn’t happen often, but a little trick I use when I know I’m going to be cutting those small magical disappearing pieces on my miter saw is I use skin double stick tape right at the edge of the kerf on the insert. When I’m done, the piece is stuck to the tape & the tape peels right off with no residue.

I see that cannondale lefty! Nice work

Even before the blooper section, I was thinking you better have your dust collection turned off if you want to keep that small piece of off-cut. Sure enough ... lol. The very subtle, "sh t" after it disappeared was gold! In all seriousness, the relaxed manner in which you make trim and molding (all your projects, really), look so effortless and methodical is a joy to watch.

Outtakes...👍
I also noticed the small off cut that came sliding back off the table saw. Those things came be rocket fast at times.
Sheet rock tips and cutting the back to create the cup on the back....yep...great tip.

Thanks for the tip at the end on the scoop. I've got a door I need to frame in our guest room and the horsehair plaster is all over the place.

[roblarose]

Thanks for this excellent detailed video. I did what you said, followed it, and it turned out great.

Nice work on the door casings Jon! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP

I like your trim except for two things. You didn’t cut returns on your crown. You did a plinth appliqué instead of using 5/4 and cutting true plinth blocks.

[PeterGoode]

Classic look. Great tips and tricks. Much appreciated

great video ever find that offset..My most difficult is matching up 45 deg miters at the top
