and injuries by kicking your project off with this helpful introduction. | |
|
Preparation: Get an overview of framing and molding jobs, terminology, and

|
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. | |

frames, and apply what you've learned to the trim in your house. | |
