Trim Carpentry Techniques: For Pros By Pros
Expert Practical Advice on All Aspects of Trim and Molding Installation
Available with Companion DVD or VHS Video

By Craig Savage

Installing Doors, Windows, Baseboard Molding and Crown Molding

Once a home's framing and drywall are done, it's time for the trimwork -- the door and window casings and baseboard and crown moldings that give each interior its distinctive character. In Trim Carpentry Techniques, trim carpenter Craig Savage gives practical advice for hanging doors, setting windows, buying, making and installing molding, selecting tools and finishing trim with paint or varnish.

Savage also gives real solutions to everyday problems, such as what to do when walls are out of plumb or floors are out of level. And to help you get started, there is a photo gallery of inspiring examples of the trim carpenter's art. (Companion video, Installing Trim, available below.)

"A handy refresher for the journeyman, explicit help for the do-it-yourselfer, and a must for the framing carpenter..."
-- The Sacramento Bee

Demonstrating Professional Trim Installation Techniques

Installing Trim Video - available on DVD or VHSIn too many houses, the trimwork -- door and window casings, baseboard and crown moldings -- is an afterthought, rushed along by builders ready to move out or owners anxious to move in. But finish carpenter Craig Savage thinks that the most visible parts of your house -- the details that you and everyone else see every day -- should get the attention they deserve.

In this tape, designed for pros and home owners alike, Savage guides you step by step as he trims out parts of a house and shares his job-site savvy and secrets. You'll learn to mate pieces of trim precisely, negotiate unsquare openings and seat moldings solidly against bumpy walls and ceilings.

Savage starts with the basics. With the camera beside him and close up the whole way, he demonstrates how you can accurately cut the three basic joints: the butt, miter and cope. You'll also learn how to:

  • Extend window and door jambs
  • Fit casing around doors and windows
  • Scribe-fit baseboard along a wall
  • Cope crown molding so it stays tight

Page numbers on the screen refer to Savage's book, Trim Carpentry Techniques, where you'll find a full discussion of the techniques shown here, Craig Savage is a general contractor in Palm Desert, California. He is a regular contributor to Fine Homebuilding magazine.
