Good job. Great way to show a couple of options based on tools available and skill level of the individual making the repair.

Thanks for this video! Method #2 with wood filler worked great for me. My 7-year-old dog chewed baseboard and door casing when he was baby, and they are all fixed now or 7 years later. I had never got to it since I had thought I'd have to replace the whole pieces. By the way I wrapped a 2-foot scrap straight wood with sandpaper, and used it to maintain the shape when sanding.

I already knew 2 ways, but your #3 is the new method I’m going to use for what I need! Thanks!

[hayitsj]

Really enjoy how many different methods you have for a situation!

[radchander]

Method 3, you could have used the removed piece (provided edges intact as it was in your case) as a template to cut the new piece. Enjoyed it, as always

[moderndaythinker]

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing this!

[tipsclubs]

Good concise Video, and the different alternatives you can use to fix the same problem. Thanks.

If you try to pull Brad nails or finish nails I use a pair of vive grips and pull the through the back side of the trim. If you try to drive them back through the front you will chip out the finish.

Also when filling with wood pudgy or body filler I sand it off first to get rid of the high spots and loose splitters. Makes it much easier to repair and it will stick better.

[bindig]

Good job. One thing though. Put the putty knife behind the prybar when pulling the trim off so you don't break the sheetrock

[eddiemarano]

The third method is a good trick to have in your bag!

[klutchu]

I liked method 3, quite a few steps and tools involved but like it.

[yvonnesmith]

Always Love your videos! You are so good at explaining the how & the why! Thank You 😊

Third method: you should reverse the 45 degree cut so if there are brad nails you can pull it out. The inside 45 degree won’t allow you to pull out.

[Mowers]

Great idea to use a template to cut baseboard to fit.

[UrDadsFavouriteMaleEscort]

I like a mix of very fine sawdust and spackle

[jansmit]

For method 3 you do not need to cut a sacrificial board piece with two 45 degrees angles. Any board piece with at least one 45 degrees edge can be used to cut the two slits in the damaged baseboard. Then you can proceed with cutting the final board piece as you did. No extra board material is wasted.

[lesg]

method 3 would be better if the “jig, ” used to reference your cut, was thicker. This would create more surface area for your tools blade to lay on, and would likely add some precision and better accuracy when making your plunge cut with the oscillating tool. See the right hand cut where it looks more open, and jagged in the beginning portion of the plunge.

[andrewjohn]

got anything on kitchen cabinet laminate scratches or those edges?

[sharonsmith]

Can you use a thick tape, may six inch. Then paint it. I did looks like I live in an apartment I fix it myself it's like 80 no new anywhere but cabinets.

[tassie]

I do like Method #3 although I know my luck there will be a nail, much larger than a brad nail, right in the part I want to remove.

Question. Why take that measurement at the 10:23 mark when the piece you removed is the correct size minus the width of the multi-tool blade x 2?
