Q. I am adding some simple crown molding up in my kitchen. I thought I knew how to do it, but it’s more complicated than I expected. Do you have any books on installing trimwork?

A . Yes. I used "finish carpentry" to search the catalog and found quite a few options. Some books focused on appealing design ideas, but several got right down to text and sketches to explain how to cut and install crown molding.

A diagram in “Trim Transformations” shows a plan for simple rectangular rooms and another for rooms with outside corners. Outside corners are present in rooms where the wall is not a straight line — this might occur around a fireplace, a dormer window, or kitchen cabinets.
