Appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and detail of this process. Very helpful.
-
This video was created for students in a finish carpentry class. Some of the methods may be modified if you do not have access to the same tools. The highest quality standards are taught, and may not reflect typical entry level housing.

Really beautiful, meticulous methods and work. Thank you for teaching me how to do it properly. Chuckling at the guys saying it will take too long. Yeah, that's why most houses these days, especially the finish carpentry, are low quality, because those guys are doing the work.

Very mathematically correct . Learnt a lot , thank you for upload .
-
Personally like to attach jamb and trim as one unit then nail it in thru trim and float the jamb
-
What happened to all the table saw safety equipment, such as a riving knife and push stick?
-
Your inside trim at the bottom is a stool & it butts into the jam & sill which extends to the outside.

Question: Not a criticism because I don't know, but most videos I've seen have the vertical casings riding under the top and over the bottom casings. Does it make any difference? If I'm making my question clear. Otherwise, your job looks great and very good instruction.

Never cross your hands when using a miter saw!! For example, if working to right of the blade, the right hand holds the work piece and the left hand operates the saw. Anyway thank you for the video.

Nice shop!
-
Excellent explanation
-
You need a track saw, easy to use at job site. Hard to take that jointer to your build
-
What does tipping your casing do when cutting it?
-
Take the smallest measurement of the four jamb extension measurements that you took and cut the jamb using that measurement. This way you are guarenteed that it fits. You can always install a small piece of molding around the inside where the window unit meets the jamb if there are signifigant gaps. Your method works well if you only have a few Windows to do but if you're doing 15+ windows your method would take weeks
-
Just curious, Im doing the same thing now. Is there a difference between pre-puilding the entire square jamb vs just installing on piece at a time to make the square on window frame?
-
Are you saying stock wood has beveled edges?
-
Completely lost yet every window in my house needs this … maybe I should hire someone. ..

What's the best way to taper the jambs in the field, an electric hand planer?

Hearing protection and safety glasses🤔
