I'm gonna go over how to cut wall trim
and it can be very difficult for a lot
of people the number one things we
didn't knew is that you're gonna need
sorry that you're gonna need is tools
that are gonna help you cut this and
you're definitely gonna need for your
measuring tape a pen and a chop saw that
can cut at a 45 degree angle you see how
to get set to a 45 and what I'm doing
right now when I start out the first
thing I did is that went upstairs in my
bathroom and I drew a map of the entire
bathroom and there's my door and I took
distances from the door to the left
under the sink and around and you take
exact measurements if you got say your
wall board at thirty three and a half -
two millimeters you need to I think
those are millimeters correct me if I'm
wrong um you're gonna have to write that
down
but you see I've called millimeters I'm
not that educated but I can sure as hell
put some trim in anyways so I got let me
see give you an example here this part
of the wall I'm actually doing right now
eighty four and a half - one of those
millimeters that I think is millimeters
so what you're doing is you're capturing
the distance a lot of people make the
mistake and after you cut your first 45
here because you know that's how it's
gonna go in and you're gonna have to
have some type of concept of how these
how these things go together so
obviously this one was cut like that but
that's not a 45 for them to meet if this
was the opposite way we prepare 45 to
meet perfectly but anyways when you cut
your cutting the distance of the wall
remember that the distance of the wall
not this distance here so a lot of
people will cut it backwards because as
long as you know that a 45 is gonna go
into a corner you would measure the
distance from the wall to that if it was
eighty four and a half I would mark the
eighty four and a half - the one
millimeter and cut a 45 inwards
okay so you're really gonna have to have
that calm
sense to know that when men this part of
the wall here meets with this other
piece that you're gonna have a 45 on
both of them and it's not a door jamb
where it's gonna be flat or sometimes if
a wall is a thirty or something you're
gonna have to put it at in the thirty
that's why you're gonna need this this
chop saw that can angle at what you want
to cut it in the eighty four and
one-half I'm gonna try to show you guys
eighty four and one half the first thing
I'm gonna do because it meets in a
corner in this room I'm going from here
to here so the first thing I did was
chop this piece right here flat a forty
five I'm sorry I put a 45 on the edge on
eighty four and a half minus the one
millimeter I'm marking right there and
the reason I tell you to use a pen not a
marker it'll be too thick and you want
to get accurate lines with a pen and
remember it's over to the backside and
that's where I'm gonna cut it this part
of the wall and when I told you guys
again about common sense knowing what
this is going to meet to because some of
your cuts are gonna go flat and some of
them will go this way I'm actually gonna
go flat up against some Schluter trim at
my shower and when I cut this I'm gonna
go upstairs and show you guys when I got
my line set where I'm gonna cut right
there
but I only got one hand so I can't do it
while I'm recording okay so I'm gonna
cut this and show you guys the trim
where it's backwards because that's a
more accurate measurement being that you
are taking a measurement from the back
side and not the front side come to
45-degree cuts you don't measure it from
here you measure from the distance of
the longest part touching the wall
there's the flat piece that we put it up
against the sugar trim no idea next I
knew then this area here had a 45 like I
said
that common-sense thing you can't buy it
and gotta have it
but there's the flat side there and
that's how they lead oh this is not as
hard as you guys think as long as you
follow the instructions cut it from the
backside have a chop saw that's going to
put it a 45 you can get these perfect
cuts and even if you're a beginner
you're do trial there and keep trying
these bars are only like five bucks for
a nine-footer even if you make two or
three mistakes you'll get it right the
next time and if you're off just to here
you could always use some white cloth
always off your seat you're supposed to
do it anyways and if it's off just a
little bit that's what you could do make
sure that your gonna shoot these in
about that much or lower to shoot it in
with a nail gun which I have in my
garage and I'm going to shoot all these
so they get sucked up against the wall
like I said it's not as hard as you guys
think gives it a nice clean look when
you're putting
I paid thousands of dollars to somebody
come on you know I mean I cut this in
about 15 minutes that's how easy that
was thanks for watching hopefully this
video helps you guys out give me thumbs
up
