Trim carpentry

Trim finishing can be some of the most impactful work for your home, milled in many designs for variating lengths, patterns, and can be installed in many different ways. One of the most popular ways that it is used is for accenting the inner walls of a living space such as baseboards at the ground level perimeter, trim casings for style around door frames, crown moulding up around the ceiling perimeter, wainscoting and shiplap for the middle parts of the wall.

There are a few fundamental principles to working with finish trim, one of which is cutting the length, shapes, and angles to connect continuous sections neatly together. The greatest tool for this is known as the compound saw, this tool is a spinning blade often equipped on a linear table that is made to handle and cut a section to a certain length and degree angle with its versatile settings. This saw is important because the main function of trim work, is to be a smooth accent along built-out turns and corners of the features that they are built around. For example, baseboards need to appear to wrap around corners of the drywall surface in which the framing was built around.
