The finish joinery in a home improvement project can make or break the final appearance. Precision Trim Carpentry provides you with ideas, advice and specific projects at the turn of a page.
Author and accomplished cabinetmaker, Rick Williams, has written fifteen chapters on different projects, enhancing each with a step-by-step captioned photo gallery. These show crucial details and include a troubleshooting insert to help solve problems that can arise.
If you're a novice you might prefer to start by installing window trims, which Rick covers in 14 relatively easy steps.
The more experienced handyperson might consider the Parquet Flooring or Closet Organizer projects.
Precision Trim Carpentry provides straightforward instructions and a wealth of guidance on tasks such as installing interior doors, bi-fold doors and sliding doors, making and fitting skirtings and wainscot paneling, and making built-ins.
