“ The first thing I learned as a finish carpenter was that square corners, plumb walls and level floors and ceilings don’t exist on this planet.” An ornate job poorly executed pales when compared to a simple well-done job when it comes to Finish Carpentry. Here you’ll learn how to install many common types of trim, learn the art of scribing for a perfect fit, work with those out of square surfaces, estimate materials and get the most from your tools. A few actual projects are followed to completion but most of the info is geared toward honing your finish carpentry skills.
