About Mastering Finish Carpentry With Gary
Product Description The miter saw is one of the most important and most often used tools for carpenters of all types, yet no book or video has been devoted to its use-until now. Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished craftsperson, you need up-to-date information and advice on materials, tools, and techniques that will make your work more efficient, more profitable, and more enjoyable. In these two programs, Gary Katz demonstrates his expert approach to: * Developing a clear and comprehensive cutlist * Using extension wings for accurate measurements and precise repetitive cuts * Sizing casing for doors and windows, and shaving miters for a tight fit * Working with an auxiliary fence to cut baseboard miters, butts, and self-returns * Cutting crown and baseboard in position and on-the-flat * Using a Bosch angle finder to find miter and bevel angles * Cutting acute angles Plus: Safety Tutorial, detailing the latest equipment and techniques Making a Miter Saw Workstation, including measured drawings History of Moldings: an overview of historic styles A Guide to Sawblades, so you can choose the right one for your saw A Comprehensive Crown Chart, and how to use it. Review I learned more about measuring and cutting casing and crown than I did in 22 years of building homes. -- Mike Guertin, Contributing Editor, Fine Homebuilding It would take years to learn what Gary teaches, but with these programs the learning curve is almost flat. -- Craig Savage, author of Trim Carpentry Katz's "anyone can do this" attitude draws huge crowds at trade shows...an appropriate choice for his debut DVD! -- Brian Pontolilo, Fine Homebuilding Thank you for producing such a great DVD Series. -- Brian G. Johns,Orange, CA. Thank you for the educational experience that would have taken me years to acquire. -- Doug Ridgway, Saskatchewan, Canada From the Contributor Like many carpenters, I learned my trade the hard way, by trial and error. Mostly error. I'm committed to making finish carpentry an experience that's enjoyable for people of all skill levels, and profitable for professionals, without the misery of lost wages, wasted material, or failed projects. The miter saw is one of my favorite tools; I expect these programs will help make it a favorite tool for everyone. These DVD presentations represent the very best of my "Sawdust Seminars," offered to thousands of trade-show attendees around the country. They will make a real difference in viewers' work, increasing accuracy, efficiency, quality, and productivity-whether on the job-site or in a DIY project. About the Actor These DVDs, the first titles in the Mastering Finish Carpentry Series (See also: Installing Casing & Baseboard; and Conquering Crown Molding), developed within the OnSite Educational Homebuilding Series, are path-blazers in how-to publication, combining the best of the printed page and the moving image. Structured around interactive menus, they offer instant access to a variety of media formats. Lively and engaging video tutorials and sharply focused slide-shows are viewable on television screens or personal computers. Special features, including articles, charts, and measured drawings, can be downloaded and printed out. Authoritative content; expert presentation: Gary Katz has distilled nearly thirty years of construction experience. He draws on his expertise as a presenter at JLC Live!, the International Builders Show, The Remodelers Show, and countless Katz Roadshow carpentry clinics held at lumberyards around the country. A contributing editor to Fine Homebuilding magazine, and frequent contributor to the Journal of Light Construction, Katz has published more than fifty articles and two books: Finish Carpentry: Efficient Techniques for Custom Interiors (JLC/Craftsman) and The Doorhanger's Handbook (Taunton).
