Looking good. Not the kind of job I enjoy that one! Are you adding double glazing as well?

Also I thought you were mainly on new builds? Is this a personal project mate or changed work?

These are just getting single glazing. The ones at the front are meant to be getting new sashes made which are going to be double glazed. The client keeps getting shocked with the prices. I can do them just I don't have time. When I was apprentice. I used to be in the workshop all the time making the likes of doors and sash and case windows etc. I do mainly work on new builds. I was getting messed about with money so I just jumped. This is an in between job it was meant to be me and the guy I work for. Then the job get held up with the historic Scotland nonsense. So the boss started something else. To the same architects. Which specialises in these properties in Edinburgh. Then into next year go back to doing the new builds. I also have in the past done the commercial type jobs as well. Basically any type of joinery I can do and will do the only thing I don't do is shuttering

Well I got some piher maxipress clamps that I'm using to aid pulling up the boards. The best feature on them to me is the handle being able to turn at right angles instead of just inline. Enabling some serious pressure to be applied

I'm going to go with the left. I absolutely hate keeping old baseboard it's such a pain and never works right after a reno.
I feel your pain. my show is being singlehandedly run by me, though my credit is assistant head carpenter.

Personally I'd go the one on the right. Even better if the moulding was slightly smaller in proportion. Hope the job gets better for you mate!

If they would get rid of the shite the feel of the job would improve. Then they got this dry ice cleaning job to clean the stairs. It has to be the noisiest job I've ever heard I had to walk out. The one on the right is the way I do them the erika was the ideal tool for the task Attachments:
