The Easiest Way to Get Perfect Miters Every Time!!!

Nice

2P10 is amazing stuff... and strong. Even glued handle back on a belt sander (still on a few years later with everyday use) and other uses. Just have to watch where you place those fingers when lining pieces up or they may be stuck to the pieces. We use it for various mouldings including crown and light valances in kitchens etc. Even fix kids toys with it.

You should not use the activator in situations like this. The glue dries in about three minutes and the chances of you gluing it up un square greatly outweighs the three minutes you have to wait.seriously, a couple minutes….

Wayyyyyyy to much time..just cut your miters right and with good saw and you don't have to go threw all that sill crap

the 45* angle where do you do it to on the frame,

get rid of the music, it makes it hard to hear you

Man you better hope your cuts are right on! 😳

Your previous videos were very good. THIS ONE IS NOT! NO NEED FOR ANY ANNOYING LOUD BACKGROUND MUSIC! THUMBS DOWN

Lol . Reminds me of Wylie Coyote's acme pack. Maybe time is more important. Caulk anyone?

So very helpful dude! Your instructional videos speak my language. You have a perfectionist mentality, just as I do. (I know it's painful sometimes) perfection is essential for a finish carpenter. But, I love your techniques in all your videos.

This is absolutely the way to lose money who has time for this

now do a video on how to get perfect blur on your videos

Great video... almost. Filler, mood music is such a pain. I think guys that need this must have a radio station on 24/7.

Thanks for this great Miter tip! I'm about to install 3.5" baseboard in my bedrooms. I'm wondering if the same technique will apply to corner miters for baseboards? Might be tricky since the length of the boards are 3x the length of a typical door opening.

Why is there overbearing music? I can't watch it, man.

Back cut your miter cut an 1/2 degree on your header trim only your miter's will look perfect!

May I ask that how many nails do you need to fix the casing on the door frame?

Absolute stupid video

Where is your eye protection when using your power nailer? Its hard to go do good miters when you are blind...

Do not fit architraves like this ,love to see this technique on a frame thats not square ,especially in an old house

Your music it’s too loud, sorry

I will say this trick is nice but this is probably a newer house. Try doing this in a house 100 years or older with original plaster lmao

Who wears sneakers to work that very safe

Question: Wouldn't it be better to have a Square as a alignment tool to make sure the pieces are square while glueing together? I mean you only have a couple of seconds till the glue sets, right?

this method only works if jambs are straight and square, trim must be straight as well otherwise you end up with widely varying reveals

PUR glue is good, also you could use corrugated nails.

I do that mostly on cabinet crowns..

I used to use Drydex...now I use a product called Shur...much better finish

I’m a retired woodworker and we used a similar method when work was being shipped across country, we would use print dimensions and using biscuits pre build trim like these (usually custom profiles in interesting species) , staple a cross brace on bottom, and in the truck they go.

We never had any problems, and builders liked it because easy instal, we liked it because we controlled the quality of mitre as well as wood grain matching perfectly

Did every door/window casing in my recent remodel using this method and they all came out so nice it made me sad when we hung some of the window treatments and hid some of my miter work. Most of my friends aren’t DIY people and I take a lot pride in checking out the “professional” results they got from contractors and realizing mine came out much nicer. Too many “just slap it up fast and caulk it” cowboys out there pretending to be craftsmen.

It must be nice to have everything white. I have a 1960 house and all the casings and moldings are wood stained. Anytime I think of doing an upgrade on something involves having to match the wood stain and finish. Everything would look hodge-podge unless I did the entire house and I don't see that happening.

You are great Carpenter- communicator. Ditch that annoying music!

in production we would nail the casing to 1 side of the door and use that to hang the door in the opening, only shooting nails thru the casing to secure the hollow core pre hung door into the opening, lol......no its not the best way but was incredibly fast......also done high end homes in Laguna beach where we had doormaker on site and we made the moulding with a shaper on site......heavy ass interior mahogany doors.......2 completely different worlds

My brother and I work together. He hates when I pull out that glue to do my miters lol. He doesnt see the obvious value in this step like others in the comments. My opinion is 1. Its worth it as its one of the best ways to have a profressional perfect product. 2. If its not worth it for the pay on the job, then you priced the job incorrectly.....mike drop lol. Customer doesnt like the price for my perfect work, then they want someone else.

Great instructions!

stupid music

Get rid of the music

what happens if the head off your frame is 1/8 off level .......your margins will be off......

I love your calm and modest manner, Funny Carpenter. I've just subscribed 😊

Could I make a little request, however? For a certain portion of your viewers, it is very difficult indeed to hear the dialogue above the music. If the music is necessary, could you please tweet it down a bit so that we can hear your very pleasant voice?
Many thanks and God bless 🙏🏻

In the UK, we use a sliding square set to your architrave/trim offset (usually 8-10mm) all the way around the frame, then cut the header to the lines on the inside mitre angles, fix the header, then cut the legs with mitres a little long, turn them upside down and offer them up one at a time, whether hard floor or carpet, the point of the mitre will show you the exact height. You mark the top of the header on the bottom of the leg, cut it off at 90° and voila, it's exactly right, I tend to use grab adhesive on the back now as just pins and caulk isn't enough in my opinion, I then spray both faces of the mitres with activator, put the super glue on the leg mitre face, slide it up carefully till it bonds in the right position, pin from the bottom up, works perfectly.

this is a great video. But the background music is loud enough to be foreground music.

Just discovered you- you're awesome 💥 Thanks v much for caulking tips, hanging doors and architrave tips 👍👍👍I like your no-waffle style xox

If I can’t even get them to line up perfect who gives a shit about spray and glue. Cutting 45 each side won’t line up

Printable caulk

Can't find the glue and activator in New Mexico. I don't believe it work's

I'm a retired joiner of 45 yrs....I can't imagine taking all this extra unnecessary time to fix architrave to houses on site....I wouldn't make any bonus pay!....just cut it right first time and fix it direct to the door casing!...simple..👍🏻

Takes to long.
