Whether it's new construction or remodeling, finish carpentry is what gives a home warmth, personality, and style -- and this new, thoroughly illustrated reference provides the step by step information a professional or ambitious do-it-yourselfer needs to get the job done right the first time. Starting with how to damage-proof a house before the carpentry begins, the authors take the reader through every aspect of the craft. From running baseboards and installing interior doors to trimming windows and installing crown and wainscot, the authors tackle the hard parts such as working with out-of-plumb, out-of-square, and out-of-level conditions. The authors also include an invaluable appendix on wood basics that details grain, shrinkage, joint design, finishes, and composite materials.Cushman, Ted is the author of 'Finish Carpentry', published 2008 under ISBN 9781561588183 and ISBN 1561588180.
