Some trimwork-not finished yet

Nice trim work. I would love to see more pictures when you are done. I have some trim work to do myself soon.

That is beautiful. I love victorian wood work and that is a beautiful display of it. Nice work.

Thanks guys!

First off, welcome to the forum. It looks to me like you don’t need a whole lot of better tools. Your trim work looks great. Its always nice to see someone just jump into a project even though they have never done anything like it before, have the satisfaction of knowing that when finished it turned out just fine. I have a feeling that we will see more of your handy work.
Don’t stop now.

This is perfect. To pull off that tight of joints is a real art and takes attention to detail. This is work you can be proud of for a long time when you tell people, ” I did this myself !”

Welcome to Lumberjocks as well, you will love it here. There are alot of great people on here. It can get addicting though. Enjoy!

This is terrific work. I know you’ll always be especially proud of it because you did it yourself! Congratulations on the very fine finished product.

Thanks again…The smaller trim was super easy to work with butting it up against the fence on the miter saw..I did waste a bit of the larger pieces as I didn’t know cutting trim on the flat is not your typical 45/45 (apparently the bevel has to be 33.9 and miter on 31.6). Should’ve read the damn manual first! : )

Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome!

Looks very good! like the amount of detail. I am also into moulding or trimwork as i learrned now :) I’m working on my rooms ceiling, putting up beams with moulding around it. Great work!

Thomas, that’s one of my projects for the family room..coffered ceilings. I just love the way they make the room seem so elegant and give it an upscale look. Post some pics!

I like the way you did the trim over the entry in picture #1. You joints look good, I’d say you’re doing a good job figuring out your saw. I get paid to do trim and millwork and your work looks as good as any of mine. Most mitersaws have a jig you can purchase if you don’t want to cut the crown laying flat. Looking forward to seeing the family room ceiling.

I really like what you did above the windows. I would like to see more detail on how you created that trim. It makes whole house look so much more expensive.

Well you sure can design…and build! Seems like most designers never built anything in there life but expect a craftsmen to make the impossible drawings on paper possible in real life.

Welcome to Lumberjocks!!!!!!! You’ll find this site very addicting in a good way. That is some very fine work and you must have done the design too. Have a great day!!...........Jim
