The best part about this guy is that he shows you can do repairs with a calm attitude. My dad was usually a fun goof and could repair anything, but it seemed his tools required constant negative reinforcement for all of them have been "damned to hell" many times over!

So glad I found this!! My puppy chewed up a few of my baseboards. I was having a hard time finding a match and feared how much my apartments would charge me. So simple that I can do it myself ☺️

Just stumbled upon this channel. How cool to find Chris Pratt with a beard disguise and nom de plume, moonlighting as a carpenter! ☺️

As a painter, my trick is instead of glue just use a good white primer. Wood filler or some spackling like Dyna Patch and use a putty knife to build and shape the corner. A sanding block will give sharper edes, then don't forget to prime again before paint.

I'm British and when looking at DIY I like UK videos, but sometimes you come across special people. I like this guy, he
is funny and makes you want to watch whole video. And excellent easy to understand and replicate repair. I'll get on with my skirting boards 😁

We foster dogs for a rescue and have some chewed corners on our baseboards and this video just came up in my video suggestions today! I didn't know this damage was repairable and honestly thought we'd have to replace entire sections of our baseboards! Thanks for a great tutorial!!

Found this thanks to my Pup who took a liking to a corner of baseboard. Thank you.

I used this video to fix my baseboards at home. It was my first time trying anything like this, but I thought I would give it a shot. Worked beautifully! The only thing I would say is BE CAREFUL. I got the same tube of wood filler as him, and the work was not heavy, but i still got a chest infection from the sanding. The larger wood filler containers usually come with more warning. This one did not, and I didn't think it would be a big deal. I know he didn't wear a mask, but this is still something to approach with caution.

You can put pencils and popsicle sticks into the sand paper for sharp inner profiles. Also try sticking sand paper to pieces of wood with double sided tape, works great. You can also stick the backs of sand paper to each other with double sided tape, which makes your sand paper stiffer but it stays still flexible.

Thanks! I live in a 1901 house with period trim. Finding exact or similar trim is impossible. The sanding tip makes so much sense. When you sand back and forth, that requires multiple build-ups and sanding which is maddening to get right. This simple tip and the way you put the glue down first and sand unidirectional has me walking around sticking painters tape identifying all the trim that needs proper repair. There have been times my Dremel has come in handy to shape hardened filler details but a steady hand is needed. Thank You!

Using wood glue to help wood filler adhere is a serious game changer. Thank you!

Keep it up. Straight content with all the nuggets of your wisdom efficiently presented. No run-on meaningless banter. Technical know-how made simple for amateurs like me. That's how videos should be for consumers.

You had a Bob Ross moment while sanding. Peaceful, gentle sanding- nice.

Thank you so much! Finally got around to fixing up where my puppy chewed up my baseboards. I can't believe how easy and painless it was, took me longer to find the wood filler at lowes than it took to repair!

Wood filler (not drydex), 120 grit and 150 grit sandpaper, (optional) wood glue

1. 120grit sandpaper and sand the area. Also use knife too if needed. Clean it with damp cloth
2. Use a bit of glue if needed.
3. Apply one coat of wood filler with a finger.
4. Wait until it dries
5. Sand it with 150 grit sandpaper

With 3 small kids in a new house, I've watched my baseboards get destroyed. I've used this trick quite a bit, but without the wood glue before. I'll have to add in that step for better results!

I have rental properties. I often use joint compound on wood to patch holes. Really easy to sculpt into the wood with minimal sanding. Paint and go. Works great for scuff holes. But for corners this is a great video.

We fostered a poodle who did a NUMBER on our baseboards. Corners and dead center, on our way to Lowes tonight. Wish us luck!
