Don’t forget to seal that cut edge with some pva or silicon (caulk) to help prevent water ingress when mopping etc

Bro. This video was perfect! No BS, straight to the point, and easy to follow. Plus, after following your advice, my customers think I've been at this for 20 years. They were impressed, man. Thanks!

This popped up in my recommended videos. It is randomly exactly what I need to know for fitting trim around the built in shelf in my very wonky, 180 year old, cottage. Thanks!

Another goodie!!!! Man, you make me look forward to the weekend when I can catch up on YouTube vids over coffee!!!! Your content, style, voice, and knowledge are freaking top-notch and fun Great job, man! 👍🏽

Just discovered your videos. Loved this one, particularly the end. People need to know how hard it can be to not stumble on your words when you're shooting a video. I fully appreciate the struggle, buddy.

Thanks so much for all the great info too. Planning on redoing a bunch of things in my place and want to make sure I'm doing it right. Between your channel and Home Revision DIY, I think I'll do just fine.

I like how you included a few outtakes at the end. Nice video.

Pro tip! Paint or water seal all the raw wood bottom edges against the flooring to keep it from wicking up moisture when washing the flooring to keep it looking new and from rotting or bubbling out.

I always finish open MDF faces with clear varnish to prevent water ingress and delamination.

Thanks you’ve just given me exactly the advice I needed to complete my kitchen properly. 🙌

Maybe it goes without saying, but if you are trying to scribe a piece of toe kick for uneven floors, you want the width of the toe kick to be the same width as the distance from the lowest point in the floor to the underside of the cabinet. The shims then raise it to be level with the top of the bottom shelf on all sides. Took me a minute to figure that out.

Thanks for the video. It was definitely helpful in helping figure out how to scribe though.

Recommended to me at perfect time... thanks

Wow that tile looks exactly like the stuff we just put in our laundry room, other than we went with the 2/3’rds overlap. Luckily the tile guy got it flat enough that the kick didn’t need customization.

Freehand on a table saw?
This is a skill I have never ever seen before.

[JetFuelOnly]

You do these so well, keep it up man!

[RPmusic]

First!!! I was waiting on it bud!! Thanks for the tip again!!!

[patrickkelly]

I do most of my scribing with a cordless planer.. there's a lot of freehand finesse involved with that tool but I scribe countertops cabinet stiles and kicks in with it and it's so damn handy!
