The job
An online course on the four tools a trim carpenter uses most: the miter saw, the tablesaw, the router and the benchtop planer. Trim carpenter Gary Striegler teaches it.
What we made
Over five hours of video lessons: how to use each tool safely, set it up for accuracy, and get more out of it with jigs. Above is the trailer. Fine Homebuilding also shares lessons and short clips from it.
How we made it
Andres traveled to the shoot, directed it and produced it.
