In this video I show you how to easily measure and mark a laminate plank to go around a doorjamb. This technique is very simple and you will be surprised. I will also show you how to install the plank after its cut.

Could you please tell how you get the dimensions for your cheater board I’ve watched all your videos and in the first one you start with it already made but you don’t explain how
Does the cheater board work with multi width flooring products? I have flooring I am about to install that has 3 different widths. Would I basically just make 3 cheater boards, and use them accordingly, or would it not work? Thank you so much in advanced.
Cant thank you enough for posting your videos. They really helped me a lot laying my LVP flooring. Love the cheater board method that you use.
I love these videos they have gotten me through this install
Been laying laminatefloor in my house the last 2 days….im slow, but because of your videos its turning out to be a professional job. Hallways and closet jambs look amazing…cheater board is whats making the difference for me…..thanks for the videos!
I just did the first room today, took me at least 1 hour to do the cut around the door frame and I was wondering where was the secret tip to do it. The result was not great but I can live with it but I’ll definitely try your method for the rest,
Thanks for sharing. You just won a subscriber
Will a jigsaw be fine to cut my boards? Thanks.
you are ridiculously good at this!!!
Gap for expansion?
I want to know the proper way to cut those notches with the tablesaw! I try to avoid kick backs laying it down to complete the cut, hope you understand what im trying to say. Lol wish i could of seen the cuttignin process
youtube is my free collage
when i need to learn a new trick i come here
Excellent video. Thanks for giving Him the praise. Thumbs up.
i wish you would explane the cheater bord more than once, it is a great tool(pice of flooring )
Thank you!
thanks very clean
love you man >>>the best video you are the best
Extremely helpful series, you do an excellent job of bringing the installation down to the basic level almost anyone can do this. Props to the video person as well, great job zooming, keeping in focus etc…thanks for what you do!
Super helpful, thanks man. Just bought a house and I really needed this info!!
Hey there my friend. Thank you so much for your hard work on these videos. This helped me tremendously when doing the floor in our house. Take care and God Bless!!!
Very educational videos. You are a phenomenal teacher. I was thinking that the doorways would make it impossible for me to do it myself…but I shall not fear!!! My only question is which would be easier when the doorway is parallel to the runs? Should I have joints near the middle of the doorway or have a board span the doorway with cut outs for the jambs? Thank you so much for the inspiration and pointers!
How do you remove the Sharpie from the boards?
How about adding links to the getting started video.
Your praise of God blesses me because I find myself everyday thanking the Lord for guiding me at work especially when I run into some ‘mystery’ challenges I can’t figure on my own, thanks. Great instructional videos and love the MN accent. God Bless!!
Excellent video series, my bruth’a. I am in the process of installing my first laminate floor. There’s a ga’zillion floor installation videos on YouTube, however, I keep coming back to your’s for simple, common sense, guidance. Keep up the great work. You’re awesome!
Great tips! and good music too☺
In reference to your comments at the end of this clip… I grew up building a mountain cabin from scratch with my family, and my dad had never built anything like that in his life (somehow it all came together, even without electricity in the early years). Over the past few years in my own home I have done laminate in 3 rooms and tile floors in bunch of places, but I never watched any videos before those projects. As I prepared to start down the hallway and into bedrooms and closets, I started watching your videos. My dad always taught me to measure twice and cut once and I learned a lot of tricks along the way, but I must say… your measuring tricks have made this job a whole lot easier and as I come to the tough spots I no longer feel as if I might pee myself in the process… Thanks! Huge help!
“God Showed me this!” that’s awesome. nothing comes close to the wisdom of our Lord. thank you, Jesus.
amen.
God bless brother.
Love your videos. very informative.
I just watched your entire playlist covering laminate flooring. Came
back here to comment on this one because it was very helpful for my
situation. I started flooring my basement this past weekend but now am
coming to the hard parts. My floor juts out in various areas and
changes direction around walls, obstacles, etc. Your measuring and
cutting tips will really help me with the rest of my project. The
cheater board, scribing the walls, etc. Great stuff. Thank You!
