Need up to 30 seconds to load.
my name is Dennis frohmeyer and I am a
I've been doing carpenter work
maintenance home remodeling and I'm
going to show you today how to put base
trim around a bull nose or a rounded
corner you don't see it very often but
sometimes you'll see it in in your upper
upper prized homes
they'll have a rent set of a square
corner they'll have a round so I'm going
to show you how to put your trim around
that typically the way I start is I will
you can if you look at the corner you
can kind of see where where the corner
starts and I'll typically take and make
it look just a little line there on both
sides
and that it's just easier to look at for
me yeah so what you gonna do and what I
have found is I I go about 5/16 of an
inch past that line that's what seems to
work you might have to adjust that a
little bit so we're at 42 and
five-eighths so we're going to go 42 and
1516 and then on the other side it's 4
and 3/4 so we're going to go 5 and 1/16
so we're going to cut our first piece
and we cut it at 22 and 1/2 degrees so
I'll show you how to do that and we'll
go outside and do that ok so what we're
going to do this actually got a KO put
one in so I've got that cut and it was
42 and fifteen sixteenths
so you're going to want that to be
marked at the top so you're going to
have to transfer your measurement to the
top and then what you're going to do is
you can lay it up on the miter saw again
you can cut it 22 and 1/2 degrees and
you're going to line your blade up with
where can you zoom in on that and see
that see it okay okay and you're going
to want it to you might even just start
your saw and bring it down on real slow
just to see
for your saw blade to stop so it doesn't
get caught up in it and raise it up and
we're pretty good there and what I
usually do
now you're gonna cut the other side what
do we say it was five and five and a
sixteen and it's going flat so five and
a sixteenth okay so we're gonna put an
angle on it the opposite direction 22
1/2 degrees again you're gonna lie on
your saw blade up with now the next
piece we're gonna cut I usually I start
out it's gonna vary a little bit
the centerpiece because they're not
going to match up perfect the
centerpiece is going to be I start out
9/16 of an inch wide on the short side
so we'll do is we'll cut this off
we measure our against you go ahead and
knock the hairs off hairs off it gives
you a good straight line to go by and
you're gonna measure 9 16 7 inch make
your little mark on the top now it's
going to cut it the opposite direction
now when you after you cut through
you're gonna want your blade to stop
before you pick up because it could pick
up the pick up your piece and throw it
[Applause]
okay so let's go inside see how it fits
I can say it's kind of trial and error
kind of thing so we'll go inside and try
it and we have to make adjustments well
then we have to make adjustments so okay
gonna turn out that these were just a
hair long we'll take our piece and put
it in there and it doesn't fit so it's
not necessarily that this one's too big
it could be that these are too long and
the way you can kind of check that is if
you look at the the curvature of the
wall and then try and run a line from
this corner to that corner and there's
about a sixteenth of an inch difference
between you know the round part of the
wall and that line so you're going to
want to cut this off because you're
gonna want this piece to end up flat
against your trim or against the wall so
we're going to go out and trim these off
about a sixteenth of an inch okay what
it turns out we've probably gone a
quarter of an inch
instead of 5/16 so we took off about
sixteenth of an inch on both sides and
now we've got it to where it fits pretty
good sitting there like that and it's
out just a little bit you can sand that
off with a file or a sanding block or
something so let me go ahead and get
this nailed and I'm gonna get you to
come and help me push this down because
we've got a little hump in the floor
here
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
so that would fit okay it's it's a
little tight
but I think it'll work we could make
this a little smaller I believe and and
it fit in there fine so that's what
we're gonna do we're gonna go ahead now
that we got it nailed and good and tight
this piece is a little big so we're
gonna make cut a smaller one and that's
about all you can do you can just it's
just one of the trial and error things
it seems like every one of these corners
are different so I start out with a base
and then I go from there so let me go
cut another small make this a little
smaller and we'll see how well got our
piece and it fits about perfect at the
top we're sticking out just a little bit
on that on this side at the bottom so
what we're going to do is I'm going to
take a chisel write it out just a tad
see if we can get that in there tight
and that is about as good as it's gonna
get
what you'll do is we'll take some glue
put that in there just about staying
there just by itself just pressure so
blue on that she just do a rag around a
little bit take a good piece put it back
in there you're gonna have glue glue you
know go out a little bit just take a wet
rag and kind of wipe it off so that's
how you do a bull nose or a rounded
corner I'd say it's kind of a trial and
error thing but a little bit of patience
you can do
