by Gary Katz

Special buy. Limited stock.

If you plan on outfitting a room with moldings of any kind, this book and DVD set not only provides step-by-step written instructions for trimming a room from bottom to top, but also shows how a pro puts those principles into action.

Katz divulges his secret for cutting clean, tight miters at precise angles (it's all centered on a saw stand, plan provided) and demonstrates two ways for installing moldings – one piece at a time or preassembled. Includes tricks for using hand-driven nails, drafting a foolproof cut list, removing old trim, and making a crown hook.

Elements of his simple system for cutting and installing casing for doors and windows are also used for installing baseboards, chair rail and crown molding.

Softcover, 9" × 11", 106 pages, 39-minute DVD, 2009.
