Using tons of step-by-step photos and a live-action DVD, Trim Carpentry for the Homeowner will teach any homeowner how to do their own trim carpentry. The book starts with choosing and using the correct tools and materials. The reader is then led through the design process and how to shop for materials, but the majority of the book tackles the trim work including: how to install wainscoting, door and window trim, crown, chair and base moulding.Also addressed are specialty applications such as fireplace surrounds and wainscoting. And it's not just new installations, they'll learn how to repair or replace damaged windows and door hardware. Author Glen Huey even spends some time on built-in cabinetry and the proper steps to prepare and paint the trim and walls.
