BASEBOARD INSTALLATION TIP

[ILuffYewwChris123]

Good luck with a jigsaw on pre finished wood. And the "unless you wanna take forever on a house this video is for you" Guy is a perfect example of the get it done fast, quality doesn't count mentality of our industry. Still haven't met anyone who uses a jigsaw or an angle grinder (WTF?) Who's copes turn out as good as with a coping saw and a back cut. Keep it up Bob. Show em the right way....let em take the shortcuts on their own.

Thanks Bob, very useful video.

I've seen the collen's coping foot you attach to a jigsaw. Check it out it's interesting on coping.

@inbetweentheday Interesting, looks a bit dangerous for the novice or beginner. There is a table mount guide that looks a bit safer not as fast thou.+++Bob

Hey Bob, don't worry about your critics....they tend to display their stupidity and lack of communication skills by using colorful language to draw attention. In the end they can't produce the goods to match their mouth. Keep up the great work!!

[plexsus]

Your Doing a fine job Bob....keep it up.

[grench2o6]

nice video thanks for the tip ill try it out!

[jhart1945]

Thanks for the tip Bob. I use it and it works great.

Like you, I am always looking for better/faster ways to do things so i also

wish Hellrisepl1 would share his method instead of badmouthing yours!

[blzbass]

Why use a coping saw when you can use an electric jig saw?

[zipdrive011]

Thanks Bob for all the tips. For those who don't appreciate these tips, you don't have to leave some colorful comments too.

[hellriserpl1]

this shit makes no sense, i did a lot of base, and this is not how u do it, but if u want to spend 10 years to do one house of base this vid is for u.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@hellriserpl1 Ok I'll bite. If you could leave us a brief explanation on the far quicker and quality improved method I am sure we would all love to hear it. If you could leave the colorful language out it would be appreciated since we don't know who may be reading these comments Thanks+++Bob

[holywar911]

@hellriserpl1 you are what we call "mr know it all"

[fishnriver]

Bob; sorry I don't have the means to record a video and post it but I'll see if I can find a source and post it in the near future.

[fishnriver]

After you make the straight cut hold the base firm remove the pc up to where the cut ends, then drop the running blade back down to where you stopped and begine to SLOWLEY slide the base to the left and very gently lower the saw as the base moves and follow the profile. No need for a cope saw, just touch up a little with a rasp. Been doing this for years. Takes a steady hand and good eye correlation.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

I would love to see that,do you have a video of that on your channel?+++Bob

[snakyjake1]

@fishnriver, I imagine this would work if you didn't have rounded profiles.

[blackpearlhomes]

Awsome video...gonna try this out tomorrow on a basement instead of all those pesky 45's

[gahanwilson]

I always learn something from your videos. Keep up the good work!

I'm still getting this technique down. Coping on MDF is a little harder. Unless... you have another helpful idea for us budget strapped DIY people who us MDF? Thanks for your great videos.

[gwezeemichelle]

Ever doing a thing on shingling the roof from scratch to finish. I would love to learn it. thanks

[WaterbugDesign]

I do miters on tile the same general way except I use the wet saw to nibble away the back part.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

Thanks, I have always seen them mitred+++Bob

[Marvolous69]

Nice tip. Thanks.

[mikeyzima]

Is that really that much better than doing 45 degree cuts on both sides?

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

I hate to say it but there is no such thing as a square house.Doing it this way pretty much guarantees good results+++Bob

[mikeyzima]

They all look square after a 6 pack : )

Thanks

[unkuehl]

It's good to see that you are confident enough to admit that there was a better or more efficient way than what you showed the first time. We are all still learning, even the pro's. Always a pleasure to watch your tips!

[kenbank]

Thanks, but I think I'll have to stick with the first method since I don't own a fancy power saw like that. :)

[nolanbowling]

I wouldn't do that with any base over 5.5 inches though. And yeah, sure beats a jigsaw.

[HardFii]

@nolanbowling why?

[ringbolt9]

nice info as usual thanks

[hoydog33]

Nice tip! I've always just used a jigsaw, might not be the nicest but it can turn out pretty decent. I use it because its fast. Works well with real wood baseboards rather than MDF or particle baseboards.

[gameking008]

neat
