Finish Carpentry (For Pros By Pros)
Paperback: 250 pages
Publisher: Taunton Press; Original edition
(December 9, 2008) ISBN: 1561588180 |
| 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. |
