Shelving Systems:

Closet Shelving: Consider a ready-to-assemble system when adding shelves to
a closet, or do it yourself using our simple tips.
Recessed Shelving: For an inexpensive and attractive wall unit within a
cubbyhole or opened closet, look to the practical and aesthetic tips available
right here.
Checklist: Be sure you've got the tools and materials to take your shelving
project from start to finish. Check our shelving checklist before you begin.
Molding and Picture Frames:
Introduction: Benefit from the experience of others. Avoid common mistakes
and injuries by kicking your project off with this helpful introduction.
Preparation: Get an overview of framing and molding jobs, terminology, and
tools, as well as a few words on project planning and wood selection.
Molding: You can use a table saw, or you can use a molding knife. Either
way, there's more to making molding than making the cut. Find out here.
Simple Miter Cut: Once you've cut your molding, you are only the Rabbet cut,
miter cut and assembly away from creating custom frames.
Compound Miter Cut: Cut a frame that's a cut above -- with a lovely shadow
box effect and splines that reinforce joints add a decorative flair.
Finishing Touches: Learn all about sanding and the various finishes for your
frames, and apply what you've learned to the trim in your house.
Checklist: Beyond common shop tools, your framing or trim project requires
the right set of tools. Make sure you've got what it takes.
