About Wainscoting & Paneling
Product Description Having completed the first six programs on installing moldings [see Mastering the Miter Saw; Installing Casing & Baseboard; Conquering Crown Molding ], The Mastering Finish Carpentry Series continues with a subject that fits every home and every architectural style: wainscoting and paneling. With his usual thorough and comprehensive attention to detail, Gary Katz has divided the subject of wainscoting into a two-part series, Program 7 The Fundamentals, and Program 8 Advanced Techniques. (NOTE: Program 8 Advanced Techniques will be available as a separate set in early 2008 and covers wainscoting on stairs and cope & stick joinery.) Wainscoting and Paneling The Fundamentals includes nearly six hours of video, beginning with measuring techniques using hi-tech tools and employing a simple two-rule system that will speed up productivity and reduce re-work even for experienced professionals. Next, Katz tackles corner designs, and relying on examples from a host of historic homes, he explains how to solve casing & baseboard problems, the thorniest issue for most wainscoting installations. In an informative slideshow, learn how to use alternative panel layouts that add drama to simple walls and solve window & door placement issues. Once the layout is complete, move into pocket hole assembly, cutting and fitting frames, cross-cutting wide panels, no-mold and traditional molding designs, as well as making raised panels. Learn how to set up a repetitive stop system for cutting rabeted panel molding, and how to achieve perfect joinery by pre-assembling moldings and panels. Katz caps the wainscoting by scribing and fitting chair rail, then changes the layout and the style to cover pilasters & tall panels, and creative Craftsman styles. Bonuses in this program include a review of Festool's Domino, and a review of the Saw Stop table saw, two tools that have through innovations in safety and precision, revolutionized finish carpentry. Katz includes short reviews of every tool and material used in the program: products from Windsor Mill, Festool, Fast Cap, Kreg Tool Co., Cadex, Stabila, among others. This state of the art DVD project is devoted to advancing the traditions of carpentry. Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished craftsperson, you need up-to-date information and advice on materials, tools, and techniques. Review I wanted to thank you for producing such a great DVD Series. I have been very impressed with the material, as well as the ability for the typical lay person to be taught in a very non threatening fashion (we have started sending it home with our new employees as "home-work", and it is definitely shortening the learning curve). Thanks for the prompt delivery and especially for the excellent miter saw DVD's. They have already more than paid for themselves with the work I did over the weekend! You mention in the DVD that there are other carpentry DVD's that either are available or will be in the near future. I would appreciate some information on how to order these, or maybe be on an E-mail alert list when they do become available? Thanks again for a needed and appreciated product. --Brian E., Homeowner I bought your videos because I have my first job of installing crown coming up. Your tips are fantastic! I didn't know how much I didn't know until I watched the videos. Now when people see me doing it, I'll actually look like I know what I'm doing and they'll think I've been doing it for some time instead of the newby that I am. I'm in the process right now of changing carreers at 47, so please get those other videos out as soon as possible so I can continue to look like I know what I'm doin' : ) Thanks again for giving us newby's a useful training aid. --Dan B, Carpenter About the Actor Specializing in finish carpentry for more than 30 years, Gary M. Katz has trained many carpenters on everything from installing baseboard to advanced mantelpiece design. A popular presenter at national tradesho
