Trim Carpentry Projects

The difference between an ordinary home and an unforgettable one is in the details. Trim carpentry can add thousands of dollars in value to any house, and this fantastic guide explains how to plan the job, choose the appropriate wood and style, and use hand and power tools. Hundreds of color photographs break down each process to its core components: start by adding crown molding and a rich-looking cornice, install a chair rail or raised-paneled wainscoting, or replace a boring interior doorway with a custom-crafted, block-and-plinth casing. Using custom or prefabricated parts, woodworkers can dress up a living room with an elegant coffered ceiling, add picture rails, or install baseboard moldings.
