Question. But first, great video. You always produce fantastic content. After watching this video, it got me thinking. Have you ever seen a trim detail where the casings were meant to have these rolled miters? E.g., the window jambs are intentionally, say, 3/4" proud and you must use this technique because the designer/homeowner wanted the look that creates? It seems like if it were done tastefully it could look really good.

This kid is the best trim carpenter I've seen on YT. 💯

Old guy I worked with years ago showed me this trick but he used a shim and marked it. Game changer.

Spencer you are truly a wizard. I'm so impressed by your work ethic,problem solving skills and overall aptitude for this trade. You have made me want to be a better trim carpenter and I appreciate you so much.

Thanks for the kind words!

I am embarassed to say how many years I have been a carpenter and never have I seen someone with such a simple, reliable solution to problem of wonky extension jambs. I enjoy your orderly approach to the work ith details like your cut list holder.

I'm only a DIY'er but what a great video and just love the no nonsense presentation; no robot voices or stultifying "muzak". Simply brilliant and brilliantly simple. Great job. 10/10

My older brother, who is a trim carpenter, showed me this concept years ago. One thing that is new to me is the drill bit trick. That is slick. Thanks for a great video. I have never subscribed to a KZread channel before. You are the first. I just looked at the website for the step gauge and the price is awful. The same thing can be done with a marked shim or tapered piece of 1x. Slide it next to the proud jamb, mark it with a pencil, and use that to set the saw. Way cheaper, especially if you don't do it all the time.

Me too. We used shims to do this and sometimes cut the shims to use as spacers on the chop saw, but never heard of using drill bits.

@fredwehrhahn2162

Plus you can add a couple bucks to the bill under consumables to pay for the shims or just eat the expense as the cost of doing business.

It’s already been said but I’ll say it again. 30+ years as a carpenter and never seen this trick. Thanks Spencer. 👍🏻

This is going to be a big help on a remodel we're about to trim out. Great info as always from you Spencer. I'd love to come spend a week or two with you just learning.

Man what a great video! Your examples and applications really make it easy to understand what's going on. I really appreciate all of your hard work. GREAT JOB!!

What a great technique for a common problem. Thanks for sharing and demonstrating Spencer!

Hey Spenser, I am huge fan of your work. This is a super cool tip. So simple but brilliant. You explain things in a tutorial manner and I have learned a lot over the years. Keep up the great work and I always look forward to your next segment. Thanks for sharing! Peter

That drill bit as a spacer is BRILLIANT! Useful idea for many things. Thanks for that one.

This was one of the most fascinating miter and casing videos I've ever watched. Thank you for this!!

I've learned so much from you Spencer. You and Richard from Finish Carpentry TV are my go to's.... I appreciate all your help.

One of the best tips I've seen in a while. Thank you for such valuable content.

This is excellent instruction. Thank you for all the great tips and meticulous demonstration. Teaching is a lot of work- you do it well.

One of the best channels on KZread! You are a great teacher and I thank you for all your content.

Great Tricks! I can't believe I didn't think of this before. Recently completed the rebuild/renovation of a residence built back in the 50's. I sure could have used these tricks to trim out the windows & case-out the doors.

Awesome! As you said, "all the headaches I could have avoided over the years". Thank you!

This came in handy for me a few weeks back. So simple, saves a lot of time.

I'm not even gonna read a single comment. I already know what they say. This is just plain carpentry gold here. I feel the same about looking back at how I fought these joints. Thanks so much for this!

Wow words can't describe how much this changes my work. Thank you

Your videos are amazing. I have learned so much from you. I love the way you go into detail explaining things and at a speed slow enough that I can follow. Thank you for what you do. You are a great teacher.

I think you made a separate video a few years back showing this technique and I instantly subscribed! This is a great trick to add to your bag of tricks 🔥

That’s very nicely explained, I’ve been doing carpentry for over 30 years and maybe It look stupid but never thought of this, never seen it before, best tip ever. Thanks. Really appreciate you making these videos and sharing this kind of tips, I have to say again that is BEST TIP EVER

Awesome tips. Been trimming for many years and I just learnt something new. Well not new…but the proper way to use it. I’ve been using a spacer block under trim for years but across the entire surface of the trim and not the front edge or the back edge. Thank you sir.

I owned a trim company and over the years trimmed out about 1500 houses. I never thought of this. I tried setting the chop saw at a slight angle but found it in accurate. We all had very sharp block planes and used them to touch up any joints that were not the best. You get pretty good at it after a while. Wish I would have thought about this back then. Nice work your doing on the channel

Just amazingly simple. I’d never come across this tip before. Thanks so much.

Been in home improvement 50 yrs. I learn something new everyday. Great video

This carpenter is spot on. I’ve framed 1000 homes and trim them as well as a carpenter contractor. When the window jamb is protruding past the drywall we sometimes power planed the jamb flush. I learned the method of tipping the trim piece exactly the way it would sit on the wall. Thicker casing is harder to do if you don’t tip while cutting. The problem with today’s windows is the jamb is not as wide as the wall due to the added weather proof tape and Tavel paper. Also when the windows are installed they have tendency to compress against the sheathing plus or minus. His method works . I did it with the miller falls manual miter box back in the day 1970s. When the jamb is not out far enough you either beat the heck out of the drywall or add jamb extensions

Thanks for making me a better DIY carpenter. I have a lot of your videos saved in a specific category for my woodworking.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I have been struggling with miter cuts for several years and I just recently found your video and I tried it at work and it worked great, you literally saved my job and now I feel confident that I will improve the quality of my work. Thank you so much

Hi Spencer, Big fan here! I'd love to see some videos with tips and tricks for stain grade or, even better, pre-finished trim. Really like your work!

Like an absolute mystic at 45 years of remodeling I guess I’ve been doing a lot of wiggling and padding out this technique is genius it’s so elementary duplicating the jamb situation at the saw thank you so very much for your knowledge and as always easy explanation of high quality content!

I’ve used this a few time after I saw it in an old video of yours. Works a treat! Thanks again

Fantastic tip...thank you sir! People like you are how we have gotten as far as we have.

We used to back plane the jamb leaving and 1/8 flat, most sheetrock was 3/8 and a jamb of 4-9/16, this way has made life easier, I like the step gauge, time to order one.

All I can say is I really enjoy watching and admire a master of his profession. And that you take the time to explain how the process works makes you a knowledgeable yet humble master. You're one of my favorite channels on KZread, can't get enough of this!

I’m blown away! That’s an awesome technique. Thanks man 👍🏽

Great message and delivery.Thank you!

Yup...taking back wood off (in most cases) of miters...was taught this as an apprentice back in the early 80s during my first month of doing interior trim work. Thanks to the awesome teachers and ppl I worked with!! 🔨👌👍

I just experienced this 2 weeks ago. I was cutting by hand every way possible to get it to match the 45's. I was working off a finished wall and the corner bead was higher. What a great tip. Will use it on the next job.

You explained this method so well ! Thanks for this tutorial, I didn't know these tricks.

This was one of the most detailed moldings. It was very well explained. WOW

Best tip I learned in a long time!Thanks for sharing your knowledge my man.

Huge important video right here .... you do a superb job on these and hope more people see this .... this video shows the BEST tip. Bravo. Hope you had a delightful long Holiday Weekend. Thanks Spencer

What an amazingly simple idea. The only thing wrong, that I can see, is that I didn't think of it. Thanks you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

This is why I love KZread! Just learned something awesome

Well, done! Thoroughly and clearly explained, thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thankyou for passing forward these great tips and your experience.

That’s awesome that you shared that tip! I’ll be sure to pass it on too if the situation ever arises. Good on ya bro!

This is great, I've been doing casing for a long time and this is the first time I've seen anything like this,,,,, Thanks.

You are GOLD my friend! Using this trick tomorrow👍🏻👍🏻

as an apprentice carpenter i really enjoy your videos you are a man of so much knowledge. keep up the great work

I've always used laminate samples - the little rectangular color/pattern chips that you can pick up at the kitchen design center, lumber yard, big box, etc. I stack them up until I get the right height. I've used the same technique to cut compound angles on the bottoms of newel posts to get them to stand plumb on unlevel floors - before I had a compound miter saw. I really like the drill technique. Thank you for all of the excellent videos..

Another valuable tip ! Thank you so much for sharing . I learn so much or your videos, it's small tips and tricks that make the job. These are so useful in all types of woodworking.

I literally used this trick today on a old bay window that had a proud jamb on one corner and it worked like a charm!! Thanks for the tip!

Brilliant trick, thanks for sharing and demonstrating your amazing skills!

Man great stuff! This actually helped me understand crown more. I’ve always been intimidated by it but makes more sense after watching this

I have over 35 years experience and this concept never entered my mind. I really appreciate the tips !

Excellent tip! Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge! God bless you!

Great video,,, plain , simple and excellent information. Thanks Spencer, hope all is well !!

Spencer I am so grateful to have learned this from your video. i would dread walking into a job and seeing windows like the ones you've shown here in your video. I would even turn some of these jobs down because I knew I was going to spend all day (so to speak) doing one window . I now confidently take on any of these types of jobs what an awesome trick that works!

This is an absolutely phenomenal video and you are an excellent teacher! I learned so much extremely valuable information and you explained everything so well! Im so grateful to have found your channel and content! Im feeling a bit more confident to cut and install all my crown molding and window trim and floor trim I am attempting to put in myself. Thank you so very much!!! 🎉 Yes,n this is absolutely essential information!

Awesome video and awesome explanation. Just the right level of detail. Thanks!

WOW! Though I'm not into carpentry (just some woodworking), I admire how you explain complex geometry in such a clear and visual way. This is an art by itself. Greetings from Germany.

This is GOLD! You also explained the technique very well - thank you for making the video :)

So ingeniously simple - when you know the trick! Thanks a lot for sharing and explaining so well!

Awesome tips man. I always struggled with this for the pre assembly application.

Thank you Spencer. God has richly blessed you for sure. You are years ahead of many 2-3 times your age in this craft.

Thanks for the great tip. I am just a diyer who is about to replace all doors and trim work in my house. This will help so much as nothing in this house has been put together the way I would like. My hallway is 5ft at one end and 6ft at the other and it is only 12ft in length. Thanks again.
