This was painful to watch. You don’t use mdf for baseboard. Is to porus it swells when wet. You’ll sell as soon as you take a mop to that floor. Second.. stop spackeling edges on mdf. Use bullseye shellac base primer . Scuff smooth when dry . Done . Third . Pocket screw your stiles and rails in one assembly. It will ensure perfect joints that won’t separate. And lastly you should always lay out wanescott with a vertical stile at the ends of each wall . It’s traditionally how it’s done .looks funny otherwise. Also latex primer on mdf is a no no . The water raises the fiber and leaves you with a lumpy finish . A cabinetmaker

Just FYI, we don’t do “project cuts” at Home Depot. Our saw is basically to help customers that don’t have a large vehicle, get their plywood home. We are told to refuse anything more than that. Don’t expect to go there and have them “cut all your trim pieces” out of a sheet of plywood. Rent a saw and do it in the parking lot if u feel the need. I’m just sayin…. 🤷♂️👍

similar to your mdf cuts that you spackled, I had an issue with mdf v match board.... just kept sucking back the paint, especially because I was spraying it. I found out afterward from my friends dad (amazing custom carpenter that actually did a lot of the super fine carpentry for one of the original rim guys houses) that a 50/50 solution of wood glue and water rubbed into the edges also solves that.

Next time you have a contrasting wall color, Run a bread of caulk along the corner for a super straight cut in line. Being that this is your first time why is this a "HOW TO" instead of a "HOW I" video. Your "patch board" should have a 45 degree cut also with the overlap facing away from the most viewed area. THERE IS NO "X" IN ESPECIALLY! FYI: fingerboard trim... after several years the glue releases and the wood starts coming apart.

Good video. I am a 3rd generation carpenter and have done many different styles and lay-outs for wanescoting. I just wanted to give a few tips. 1 - just use 1x4 or 1x5 (actual sizes in canada are 11/16" x 3.5"/4.5") material over sheet goods (it costs less and comes pre-primed and you don't have to rip anything and that joint at 8 ft. won't occur because they come 16ft. long) 2 - The best way to do this style is to buy a 4' x 16' x 3/4" sheet and cut-out the squares so there are no joints to crack over time. this style will eventually crack so filling the vertical will only work for a few years unless you join them (ie. biscuits or other way). You could use a 1/8 roundover bit on the cross-cut ends (like concrete curbs) to make it look like you planned for the eventual cracking that is almost guaranteed to occur.

Your choice of MDF is off to me. Real pine is lighter and much easier to work with alone. Also, and room that needs mopping instead of dry dusting should not have MDF touching the floor. Will absorb water and delaminates. Final comment: wear a mask when cutting MDF. Its not good for you at all to breathe!
