    Does it have to have drywall behind it for interior ceiling use,? mineral wool insulation also

    I will try this method on the next beams I do but I have one question. Wouldn’t plumbing your ends to get those angles against the drywall only work if your board is level? Thanks Spencer

    Question couldn’t you just set a bevel to the angle of the walls instead of using the pipe gauge and level?

    I've been watching your channel and I'm really impressed. It appears this device works best when you have a little more room to operate. So if you could get the framers to build a perfect opening how much additional space would you add?

    I’m a 4th generation carpenter but no longer work with my tools. I enjoy your videos tremendously. In the commercial world there is zero precision. I am in no way a painter, you couldn’t pay me enough, but I bet those guys love you. It would be even better if you carried at least the trim painting in your number. You probably save them so much labor with your precision I bet they make good money following you.

    Could you show how you make the rabbet cuts on the newel posts? I made a post today like yours but I had to use a hand saw and coping saw to get nice cuts. My table saw fence is not the best and I had issues trying to use it to rabbet.

    Great video (I've watched it three times over the last year or two), but I have a question: Preface: You said that you use the Festool ETS EC 150/5 random orbital sander 99% of the time, and you also said you use 120 grit sandpaper 99.9% of the time on both this sander and your Rotex (which you use on the hardest woods like white oak). My question is-for a non-professional whose workflow is less demanding (though still demanding enough)-might it still make sense to forgo the Rotex and instead go down to a 60 and/or 80 grit sandpaper for hardwoods using the ETS EC 150/5, and then finish up with the 120 grit sandpaper? I've never sanded white oak with anything. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

    Obviously, it doesn't make a difference but what about the taper of the trim left to RT. In theory, you raise the trim up in the air at the point of the blade. So you have a slight uphill left Rt and tilt front to back?

    I enjoyed your video. I have been contemplating doing a very similar detail with the mortises at floor rail. My balusters are 1" solid stock turned on a diamond rather than square to the floor rail. My railing is 25lb. railroad. Which will the balusters will be welded to the bottom of the rail. I would like your take on this plan. Thanks Casey

    Such great tips! Re mortising treads: I found it very difficult to line up the ½" mortiser chisel perfectly on the ½" hole. I switched to a 7/16 forstner bit which enabled me to look down through the top of the mortise chisel and align it perfectly centered. I then cleaned up the mortise with a "pig sticker" mortise chisel. I also bought the mortiser chisel through your link and it needed quite a lot of honing (of the flat sides) to get it sharp, once I did that it was a lot easier to mortise my oak treads. Thanks again for all your great videos!

    Dewalt is for the serious DIYer and Milwaukee is for professional tradesman. Personally I use dewalt and home and Milwaukee on the job. I install water utilities so I am rough on stuff with water mud ice etc. and Milwaukee always gets the job done. But at home where I’m not working g as hard dewalt does me just fine
