Unpopular opinion: the old trim work at the Fairmont in San Francisco taught me more than any finish class
I stayed at the Fairmont in San Francisco for 2 nights on a trip and spent more time staring at the crown molding than at the bridge. The joints in those hallways are over 100 years old and you cannot find a gap with your fingernail, while the new hotel next door has caulk smeared everywhere to hide bad miters. We have all these fancy miter saws and coping jigs now, but those guys did it with hand planes and a lot of patience. Am I wrong for thinking most of us rush trim work and lean on caulk way too much?
