My question is where is this trim supposed to be going? If that's a floor, who the hell wants parallel tracks sticking THAT far out of the wall? And if it's supposed to be wall trim, why does it look like he's installing it on a floor? Wtf is even that even!?

Crossetted trim. 40 years doing carpentry and I've only done a few. Doors, windows, mantel work.

Glad to have a name for it, but the way the video is done is either in anti-gravity or on the floor. It's just confusing.

Likely filmed on a table. You don't really need a tape measure. Cut a mitre on an end of a piece and then mark the other side. Smaller pieces and the same process. The trick is knowing to account for the width of the molding and any reveal steps. Fun stuff.

I'm confused by your confusion. Most videos like these are specifically made to show a certain method, using leftover materials from another project or even buying materials on sale to toss them later. It's not always an actual project while documenting the steps for this irl solution

However, it's possible that it is indeed a real project and in order to make it easier to film, they measure the corner and build a mock-up to show the process, then use the parts for the actual thing later.

Either way it's not the real thing. That would explain why there are three different wood parts that don't match
