Carpentry & Trim Basics gives homeowners a practical, beginner-friendly guide to cutting, fitting, installing, and finishing woodwork that looks clean and intentional. Learn how lumber sizes really work, how wood movement affects trim, how to use miter saws and nailers safely, and how to measure, mark, cope, miter, scribe, shim, caulk, fill, and finish with confidence. The book walks through baseboards, door and window casing, crown molding, shelving, built-ins, prehung doors, small non-structural framing, and common trim repairs, while drawing a clear line around structural work, stairs, permits, and jobs that belong to a professional. Built for real houses that are never perfectly square, this guide teaches the fitting mindset that makes trim look built-in instead of forced.
