Finished Carpentry

This is where architecture and fine woodworking combine forces to make a house a home. Nick explains how to prepare your house for architectural changes, then install new windows and doors, lay wood and parquet floors, and add paneling, wainscoting, casings, moldings, and trim. Nick shares some of the special fixtures the pros rely upon, such as a door buck and a shooting board, and provides plans to make a folding tool stand that will bring both a miter saw and a router table to your job site. To illustrate the possibilities, Nick walks you through three elegant installations – a Coffered Ceiling, a Stained-Glass Window, and a Paneled Door. 128 pages, over 300 illustrations and photos in PDF format.
