Window & Door Casing Installation Secret #1... Proud Drywall or Jamb??? Just Roll The Miter

Dealing with a door that's recessed now. I think I'm going to need a jamb extension. Anyway, once again thanks for letting us look over your shoulder.

Just beat it in with a rubber mallet

But when you cut it like that I noticed on your saw when you're holding it it creates a gap where your wear your casing meets the jam

Trim down the drywall or jamb with multi tool, until flat.

Awesome INFORMATION!! Thank you. I will be using that technique a lot!! Many times we assume old dogs know all the tricks:) This old dog learned a new trick 😂

Very nice tip thankyou.

incredible !

You can use painted tape and put the right and left together and cut two pieces at one time

Fantastic

I have been doing this for years using a stack of pennies. I measure the height error in each corner using a stack of pennies and then use the same number of pennies to roll the miter. Height to the nearest penny thickness is more than sufficient for perfect joints.

I don't think any joiner in Northern Ireland could do that, they have been paid on the grip (by the job) for so long ,They probably have the lowest skill of any construction workers in the world😢

Good vids! But im more of a i gotta see it type of guy…. In this video you say that you left the trim proud to show us, yet we cant see it… you placed a bunch of wood on the miter and did your cut and couldnt see it….remember alot of people dont know what proud on trim means…and im not hating or being funny… just saying itll be 10x better if you showed a closeup!! Keep up the vids!! we love the content. thanks!

Dude

You’re fricking awesome I’m about to install casings on a garage window. Wow never knew this. You are the man!!!

What do you do if you have proud jams and are installing flat 1x4? My only thought is to plain the jam, but any help would be much appreciated.

So what are the other techniques for flat casing

Another example of why true plastered houses were superior to drywall.

No Comprende

Spencer… THANK YOU!

This guy is a natural teacher! Thanks brother

God bless bro 😎 we all learn something new everyday and this is one of those things ! Because sometimes the framers and Sheetrock guys don’t care about the carpenters lol which that make them look bad not us . 👍🏻

Nice one Spence I will definitely add into my technique

What is the corner clamp you're using please? that's what i need! Beside that perfect tips, thank you!

I never thought pros would install casing that way, I'm not saying its wrong but I've always installed a long shim. I can't image a joint that is so out of plumb not being extremely visible.

Whats the easiest way to measure the proudness

Great video, wished I understood what u were doing...not a carpenter so not familiar with the word PROUD, do u do a video explaining why u are doing what u are doing...is it the gyproc being to far out from the window build or to far in....thanks

Why not just plane the casing if it's proud? If the drywall is proud,simply add a jamb extension. Rolling your miters just looks horrible in my humble opinion. Especially as simple as the fix is.

Man, this truly is a lifesaver

This is mind blowing. I'm looking forward to trying it. Question for Spencer or anyone... I plan to use Titebond 2 (have it here already)... Do I need to use some pin nails at all once the glue is set ? If yes, what length ? My casings are 11/16 x 2 1/4 colonial. Thanks

WTF, never know of this… damn that’s good

Brilliant…thanks man.

When the jamb sticks out past the drywall really far I run a planer around it just gotta be careful on the corners

Thank you, fantastic technique

Great idea, thanks. Excellent point, by the way, on subs that come before you.

🤯

mind blown

great tip.

& they don't look like the river wood max. Do yours make 4 small holes as well, when it pulls the 2 materials together?

Where did you get those BEAUTIFUL CLAMPS! 😍 I need to get myself some of those!

Great idea thanks

What if one side is flush and the other proud

I wish there was a real situation that you could demonstrate the technique whether the jamb in set back or standing out and also the scientific fact behind this trick, as in if jamb has a 5mm set back, how a 5mm nested cut helps and why. I think this needs a demonstration to be able to stick to the mind forever. I THANK YOU kindly. I do.

Such wonderful life changing technique. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

I sometimes work on very old structures with immovable unevenly plastered walls. With flat casing and jambs wildly proud on one end, I use my track saw to rip tapered fillers applied flush to the outer edge of the back face of the casing, so that the adjoining pieces stay in the same plane, as you advise. I understand that such terrible conditions rarely come up in quality new construction. But do you have a more efficient way of handling them when necessary?

Thanks for your help because I have a problem with doors trim and I am Always tried to do my best

Sweet - and when do you hammer the sheet rock or not to crush it down a bit ???? Which when why how ??

Thank you for the tips!

What do you do if your frame goes from proud to sub surface?

Damn ..I was using a lot of caulking then paint lol...great pro tip!
