About this Workshop

Using full-size wall mockups, students will practice the trim carpentry skills he uses on job sites, along with the special details for which he is known. The class is hands-on, with students working individually and in groups on specific exercises. Students will learn to make and install curved trim, install doors, build a panel door jamb, and cut and install crown molding. They will explore well-proportioned crown molding and pediment details for doors and cabinets, as well as three trim options for doors. Gary will demonstrate six ways to make wainscot paneling and show students how to get the most from a miter saw, including how to make angled, beveled, and compound miter cuts. Students will also build window jambs and sills. Throughout the week, students will put these skills to work while building a mirror frame and display shelf to take home. They will leave with techniques they can use to add distinctive trim to their own rooms.
