An Essential Reference for any Trim Project 6 May 2011

By JoeJErnst - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

As the owner of a craftsman style bungalow, I understand the importance of the millwork in an old house, so before I set out on my first trim project I got this book. This is an excellent reference for all types of trimwork, including examples of styles you would find in Arts & Crafts houses as well as current homes. If you are new to finish carpentry, you will soon realize that the quality of the finished job is only as good as the wall underneath. Stanley's Complete Trimwork & Carpentry tells you how to properly build a wall so that installing the trim will go much smoother and look better. It covers a myriad of techniques for coping with problem scenarios, not to mention the fine art of coping an inside miter joint. If you plan on doing baseboards, crown moulding, or anything in between, I highly recommend this book.
