I like to think I'm a smart guy and can figure most things out with a little logic, a little trial and error and maybe watching a how to video or two... I will never understand how doing baseboard and window moldings work. I cut and dangit, did it reversed. Recut - dang it reversing flipped that angle too. Recut - now it's upside down? WTF... My brain doesn't work how it needs to for this kind of work. I'll stick to 2D cutting like flooring.
Doesn't sound like a bad trend to me because it probably makes the house more durable. Only issue I have with baseboards is the gap behind furniture it create that gets dirty. So is undercutting walls out of fashion then?
As a flooring guy specializing in hardwood, base is fantastic for a number of trades. Boardmen don't need to worry as much about sheets being kicked in, tapers (if given notice) can skip a few inches as with painters. It calls out bad plumbers and electricians because I shouldn't really be able to spear anything with a brad nail... Plus expansion gaps for wood flooring are a thing. I do agree with the "baseboards collect dirt" thing, but I don't see another easily implemented solution.
Pencil and experience, yes. Those cuts don’t have any compound angles, could be done with a 20$ hand saw, and would be made trivial with a 10$ saw guide. Even if you insist on a miter saw, you’re talking 100-500$ depending on the brand (obviously they go higher, but you don’t get what you pay for)
Well that’s just a lack of imagination. If you buy the M18 FUEL ONE-KEY 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 8-1/4 in. Table Saw with Stand and 10 in. Miter Saw with Stand you can certainly spend $1500 after tax. But then again I’m not your dad and these were just jokes
My wife and I are possibly going to try to install shelving and some storage space in our pantry nook. We tried going to a second hand furniture store to find something to fit in the available space, no dice. I’m incapable of doing drawers and cabinets, we don’t have the money for a cabinet maker, and I’m worried it’s going to look like a hack job.
If all you need is shelving, then you can just drill holes, insert dowels, and place shelves on them. You can just use regular dowels, you can cut out a small piece for them to sit tight. I've also taken existing shelving and just chopped off part of it, then create a close but not perfect groove with a chisel.
They sell melamine shelf boards which are durable, easy to clean, and do not need painting. Lowes will cut them for you. The cited price is 1$ a cut but you often don't get charged that if your not a jerk or needing excessive cuts. The cheap bracked I link below should be good for most. The cheapo stamped metal brackets from walmart is good if you are storing boxed stuff, if (1/2)

Now do a crown molding with included angles into Corners that are not 90°

My brain wanted to correct you mid video, but it's perfect, I'm an idiot lol
TheWeebleWobler
No way my dumbass is getting this right.

I love those wooden corner protectors, seen above the baseboard trim install, haven't seen them in a while
katoutwo8
I would glue those short pieces ahead of installation. Makes sure the gaps won't open when it turns out the wall isn't flat.

I like watching skilled people do what they're good at. Highly competent people are badass.

That's why I don't hate sportsball, even though the fandom can get a little annoying sometimes. The players are good at what they do.

I even like watching semi drivers backing into a tight spot. They may have done it hundreds of times but it's still cool.

My dad had a sign above his work bench. "I like work. I can look at it for hours."

method in the video solves that problem.

you assume I'm going to select the proper angle on the saw!

The pencil is Miter than the saw?

I see what you did there. With the humor.

Baseboards for giants. Jfc they are tall
dashers
Maybe slightly bigger than ones in the house I grew up in, which was about 100 years old. UK.
ManByTechnicality
I was going to say, that is a lot of skill for making foot tall baseboards.
MoopsyLD
Tall Baseboards are actually very nice and a good thing if you can afford them. the small ones we have are meh.
RevengeIsIceCream
Yeah, I was just wondering why they were so tall. And also why they nailed them on before they painted or whatever they're doing to the wall...
ToenailClippingsJar
I’m pretty sure I saw an outlet *in* the baseboard as well. As in ‘wut?’
thekadeshi
Tall baseboards are fashionable right now. No really
somebackup
Yes, but this is like 3 times the height of anything I have seen.

nicely done
GimcrackGewgaw
I could totally do this, but it would take me an hour and it wouldn't fit when I was done.
FeChefImgur
That's about my skill level as well, but add in another half a day and two trips to the hardware store.
thekadeshi
All it takes is a pencil, a $1500 miter saw, and some experience!
Iamjacksunuesedtrainstation
I got a mitre saw for $200 last year. It’s not as elaborate as this but it does good work.

OfficialPresidentGump
Milwaukee does not make a $1500 miter saw. The most expensive is like 900 and this isn’t that.

My brain can’t quite grasp this even tho it looks so easy. Woodworking is so intimidating.
somebackup
The only tip I can give is to be prepared to do things twice at the start. I still fuck up all the time

(2/2) If your storing heavier stuff I find it cheaper on amazon to get bracket like these. Do invest in a stud finder that can detect wiring, and use all the studs you can for mounding brackets . (2/2) https://www.amazon.com/Brackets-Screws-Support-Shelves-Floating/dp/B0CJJ5ZN68/
