Applied Moldings with Paul Therrien (9/15/2012)

Paul is a master carpenter that just completed his assignment (12 years!) at a rather large megamansion in North Atlanta.  He demonstrated some of the techniques he uses for cutting and fitting applied moldings that are frequently needed on houses and furniture.  He began with fitting moldings of dissimilar width into an acute angled corner.  He did the entire fitting with nothing more than a scribing pencil and a chop saw.  He then cut the angles perfectly without changing the cut angle of the chop saw.  This caused the brains of the several engineers in the audience to "short out".  He then went on to explain several fine points of fitting molding for wainscot and coffered ceilings.  He finished with a picture display and discussion of a variety of "challenges" from the megamansion.
