Finish Carpentry

This Construction Manual was well worth the price for a used book because it could save hundreds of dollars, for the average person as well as the professional.I found the writing level was excellent. With the diagrams, I could understand what is needed, as a laymen, but for the finish carpenter-in-training, all the angles and instruments are there too.VERY thorough on this subject, with chapters on Porch Trim, Stair Layout, Stair Rails, Base and Ceiling Molding, Wood Flooring, Siding, Door Trim, Window Sash and Trim, Windows and Frames, Gutters and Downspouts, Cornices and Rakes, Cabinets and Joinery, Ceiling Tile and Suspended Ceilings, Wood Shingle Roofing, Composition Roofing, Door Bucks and Frames, Fitting and Hanging Doors, Prefabricated Window Units, Interior Wall Covering, and (very valuable to find) Estimating Finish Carpentry.
