Love it! I was a finish carpenter for about 6 years and never did it like this (didn't know) and then some cabinet guys that were doing the cabinets, in the house I was working on, told me about doing it this way and my mind was completely blown! Hands down the best tip I was ever given by another woodworker!!

[dschroeder]

Wow. This is completely inspiring. It makes me want to rip out all of my existing window casing and put in this type of solution. That won't happen in reality, but in my mind it's done already.

Good job!
Suggestion: Before installing the preassembled trim, apply painters tape around the perimeter of the window opening (or door opening or on the wall) so the tape is exposed all around the trim for an inch or two. Fill the nail holes, prime and/or paint the frame and then use a sharp utility knife to cut the tape. Caulk the trim (if desired). I use this method on new window, door and base moldings. It is a lot easier than trying to mask the walls after installation of the trim.

I know how to do most of the stuff you do. But I like watching your channel because you always seem to have tips that increase my efficiency

[SeanFoushee]

I would love to see a video on how you handle masking for paint. Your work always end up super clean and the care you take in masking really pays off.

Man, I’ve said it before but your level of craftsmanship is off the charts. And I’m a cabinet maker by trade so I know good work when I see it.

I have 7 windows that need window casings. Fortunately there is one casing that is completely different measurements while two are of same dimensions. The last are of all the same dimensions. You have just made my life so much easier if I had used the old methods of construction. Cool beans!!! Thanks Richard!!

Gotta love Craftsman style window and door trim! My home is a Craftsman so I'm a bit partial to the look! Great work as always!

[royordway]

I'm doing a new house right now the exact way you did yours. A slight difference in mine is I glued and nailed the' I call them ribbons, to the head casing and then pocket them to the side casing and head jamb. FYI, what you are calling the sill is actually the stool. A sill is on the exterior, the sloped part of the window frame itself. I'm old school. I started in 1973.

If only we had master craftsman that take pride in their work like you do in the UK. Keep up the great work and videos, all looks stunning!

[JM-wysq]

Love craftsman style, that’s how all the trim is in my house. Classic look that never goes out of style.

[loserplanet]

We used one of your older videos and we did these style window and door casings throughout our home. We LOVE them. Paint the window casing a dark color. Dark grey/navy/black...

[ianrutherford]

Thanks for this video! I just finished a long overdue triming of a window in our master bedroom and followed your process. The result was transformative and gave the illusion that we had installed a much larger window. 🎉😊

[satchmodog]

Thanks for this Richard. I've been doing this a long time and never thought of pocket holing the case. Much more solid than just shooting them.

[bnssoftware]

I really love this technique. I just did my first one and while there was a bit of trial and error, in the end it was so much cleaner than trying to build it up on the window itself. Thank you.

[christophsan]

I have watched this about 8 times. I’m going to add the super simple window casings in my morning room to mimicking what you did for the home in the beginning. Very nice work, I hope I can pull it off.

[danamesarchik]

Another great video. I really enjoy your attention to detail. I'm a weekend warrior and its cool to have you show us how easy it is to take our projects to the next level.

[arnaldogarciajr.]

You are good. You are super over my level, but i learn a lot from you.Thanks God for people like you, there not afraid to show what they know. Thanks again.

[leticiaruvalcaba-arballo]

Gray like your cabinets. So beautiful work you do, so detail it is nice to see someone that truly loves their work.
