1312 - Interior Woodwork November 18-24, 2002 | May 19-25, 2003 HI, I'M BOB VILA.
WELCOME HOME AGAIN
TO OUR CENTER-ENTRY
COLONIAL PROJECT.
TODAY WE'RE SPENDING
MOST OF OUR TIME INDOORS
DOING FINISH CARPENTRY.
BOB RYLEY'S WITH US
TO SHOW US HOW TO ASSEMBLE
A VERY COMPLICATED
CEILING CORNICE.
ALSO, WE'LL VISIT
THE NORTH BENNET STREET SCHOOL
IN BOSTON TO LEARN ABOUT
PRESERVATION CARPENTRY,
AND SOME OF THEIR TEAM
ARE GONNA JOIN US
TO HELP US
PUT TOGETHER
A VERY COMPLICATED
LITTLE MOLDING.
STICK AROUND. IT'S GOOD
TO HAVE YOU HOME AGAIN.
CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
SEARS
THE CORNICE MOLDING
THAT'S BEEN APPLIED
IN THIS ROOM
REALLY HEARKENS
TO GEORGIAN PERIOD,
COLONIAL PERIOD HOUSES.
AND IT'S MADE UP
OF 4 DIFFERENT ELEMENTS,
AND THEY'RE ALL AVAILABLE
FROM WINDSORONE.
BRENT HULL IS HERE,
AND BRENT HAD A LOT TO
DO WITH DESIGNING THESE.
AND FIRST, LET'S
TALK ABOUT WINDSORONE,
BECAUSE THEY'RE
AN INTERESTING COMPANY.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
THEY'RE A 30-YEAR-OLD
MOLDING MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
THEY'VE COME UP
WITH A NEW PRODUCT
CALLED WINDSORONE,
WHICH IS
AN ENGINEERED LUMBER--
ENGINEERED BOARD--
EDGE-GLUED,
FINGER-JOINTED TOGETHER,
GROWN OUT OF RADIATA PINE.
AND THE REASON
FOR DOING ALL
THAT ENGINEERING
IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU'VE GOT
GREAT STABILITY
IN THE PRODUCT.
EXACTLY.
MM-HMM.
THEY HAVE USED IT
ON THE OUTSIDE
WITH GREAT SUCCESS,
AND WHAT THEY WERE FINDING
IS THAT CARPENTERS
WERE BRINGING IT
ON THE INSIDE
TO TRIM OUT A HOUSE
AND TO USE AS A BACKBEND
OR A CASING AROUND A DOOR.
THEY APPROACHED ME
ABOUT FINDING A--
COMING UP WITH A LINE
OF MOLDINGS.
THEY DIDN'T JUST WANT
ANOTHER LINE OF MOLDINGS,
THEY WANTED
SOMETHING SPECIAL.
MY BACKGROUND
IN HISTORIC MILL WORK
PROMOTED ME TO GO
TO THESE OLD PATTERN BOOKS.
WE CAME UP
WITH A LINE OF MOLDINGS
THAT ARE APPROPRIATE
FOR HOUSES TODAY.
NOW, LET'S TALK
ABOUT THESE, 'CAUSE
YOU'VE ACTUALLY GOT
AN ASHER BENJAMIN BOOK
HERE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND THIS GOES BACK
TO THE EARLY 1800s,
CORRECT?
CORRECT. PATTERN BOOKS
WERE VERY POPULAR...
MEANS OF COMMUNICATING
TO CARPENTERS
AND OTHER PEOPLE
AT THAT TIME
THE WAY THE ORDERS
WERE ESTABLISHED,
THE PROPORTIONS
OF THE ORDERS,
AND ALL THE DETAILS.
NOW, ASHER BENJAMIN--
THIS BOOK IS AN 1833 BOOK.
VERY POPULAR.
THIS IS ACTUALLY
THE SEVENTH EDITION
OF IT IN 1850,
SO YOU CAN SEE
THE KIND OF INFLUENCE
AND POPULARITY IT HAD.
IN ANY CASE,
BUILDERS WOULD LOOK
AT BOOKS LIKE THIS
AND THEN WOULD GO
AND DESIGN THEIR MOLDINGS
BASED ON THE HAND PLANES
THAT THEY HAD
OR CARRIED IN THEIR BOX.
EXACTLY.
AND WE'VE GOT
QUITE A FEW
OF THE HAND PLANES
TODAY,
WHICH WE'RE
GONNA BE USING
A LITTLE BIT LATER
ON IN THE SHOW.
BUT THE LINE THAT
YOU'VE DESIGNED HERE
COMES FROM
THE COLONIAL
REVIVAL, RIGHT?
YEAH, THESE ARE MAINLY
FOR THE COLONIAL MARKET.
THERE'S 4 LINES.
THERE'S
THE CLASSICAL COLONIAL,
WHICH WE'VE USED
IN THIS DINING ROOM HERE.
THERE'S
THE COLONIAL REVIVAL,
WHICH IS FROM A 1920s
MANUFACTURERS BOOK,
AS WELL AS--
THERE'S ANOTHER PATTERN,
THE CLASSICAL CRAFTSMAN,
AND THEN WE'VE GOT
A GREEK REVIVAL.
SO THERE'S 4 FROM 4
OF THE POPULAR PERIODS
OF AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE.
4 TO CHOOSE FROM.
EXCELLENT.
AND BOB RYLEY WAS HERE
EARLIER IN THE WEEK,
HAVING A LOT OF FUN
PUTTING ALL THESE
TOGETHER.
Ryley: OK, NOW,
WE'VE ALREADY APPLIED
OUR FIRST PIECE OF THIS
5-PIECE CROWN MOLDING.
FLAT AGAINST THE WALL,
SO THAT ENABLED US
TO PUT OUR NAILERS ON IT.
THEN WE PUT NAILERS
ONTO THE CEILING.
THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW US
TO PUT THE REMAINING
4 PIECES OF CROWN ON.
HOW'S THAT ONE?
OK, THAT'S GOOD
RIGHT THERE. GOT THAT?
Man: YES, I DO.
OK, NOW,
WITH THE SOFFIT ON,
WE'RE READY TO MEASURE
FOR THE THIRD PIECE,
WHICH IS THE FASCIA.
OK. ALL SET THERE?
YEAH.
147 3/8.
OK, THE RETURN
HAS TO BE 6 1/2.
OK. RIGHT THERE?
YUP.
OK, NOW WE CAN MEASURE
THE LENGTH OF THEM BOTH CUT.
146 1/4 STRONG.
OH, GOOD.
RIGHT THERE.
OK.
WAIT A MINUTE.
OK.
OK.
A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.
OH.
OK, SO NOW WE'RE READY
FOR THE TOP CROWN MOLDING,
AND WE WANT TO COPE THESE
FROM THE SIDE.
SO THE FIRST PIECE
WE'RE PUTTING UP
WILL BE ON
THE PANELED WALL HERE.
YOU ALWAYS WANT TO NAIL
A COUPLE OF FEET OFF
OF THAT CORNER
SO THAT YOU
CAN WORK THE CORNER
WHEN YOU COPE IT IN.
OK, NOW, MARK
THE BACKSIDE OF THIS 45,
AND THEN I'M GONNA
PUT A SLASH LINE.
THAT'S WHERE
THAT CROWN WANTS TO GO.
AND IT'S GONNA GO
INTO THE MITER BOX
UPSIDE DOWN.
THIS IS GONNA HELP US
FIND THAT CUT.
AND SO THE COMBINATION
OF THESE BEAUTIFUL MOLDINGS
TOGETHER
WITH THE PANELED WALL
REALLY, REALLY
DOES KIND OF CONNOTE
A COLONIAL INTERIOR.
WHERE DID YOU LEARN
ALL THIS STUFF?
WENT TO THE NORTH BENNET
STREET SCHOOL IN BOSTON.
GREAT.
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING
IN JUST A MINUTE.
WHEN WE COME BACK,
WE'LL VISIT A UNIQUE
BOSTON INSTITUTION--
THE NORTH BENNET
STREET SCHOOL.
WE'RE IN BOSTON'S HISTORIC
NORTH END NEIGHBORHOOD,
ONE OF THE MOST ROMANTIC,
EUROPEAN-STYLE NEIGHBORHOODS
YOU'LL FIND ANYWHERE
IN AMERICA.
KNOWN FOR ITS VARIETY
OF EXTRAORDINARY
ITALIAN RESTAURANTS.
IT'S ALSO LOADED
WITH HISTORY.
YOU'LL FIND NOT ONLY
PAUL REVERE'S HOUSE,
BUT THE HISTORIC
OLD NORTH CHURCH.
WE'RE IN THE NORTH END
TO BEGIN A SERIES OF VISITS
TO A UNIQUE INSTITUTION--
THE NORTH BENNET
STREET SCHOOL.
IN 1879,
IN AN EFFORT TO BETTER
THE LIVING CONDITIONS
OF THE WAVES
OF IRISH, ITALIAN,
AND EASTERN-EUROPEAN
IMMIGRANTS WHO FLOCKED HERE,
VOLUNTEERS
FROM A LOCAL CHARITY
SET UP A SMALL PROGRAM
HERE ON NORTH BENNET STREET
HOPING THAT BY TEACHING
WOMEN SKILLS LIKE SEWING
THEY'D BE PROVIDING,
AS WAS THEIR MOTTO,
"NOT ALMS BUT A FRIEND,
NOT GIFTS BUT EMPLOYMENT."
SOON THE PUBLIC KINDERGARTEN
WAS BEING PIONEERED HERE
BY PAULINE AGASSIZ SHAW,
DAUGHTER
OF A HARVARD PROFESSOR
AND THE FIRST PRESIDENT
OF RADCLIFFE COLLEGE.
HER THINKING WAS THAT
IF CHILDREN WERE TAUGHT
THE BASICS
OF PERSONAL HYGIENE,
CLEAN HABITS,
AND GOOD MANNERS,
THEN THEIR PARENTS
AND SIBLINGS WOULD FOLLOW SUIT.
MRS. SHAW SET ABOUT
RAISING FUNDS
TO GIVE LOCAL RESIDENTS
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
IN WOODWORKING,
CERAMICS, AND PRINTING,
WHICH DEVELOPED
MARKETABLE SKILLS
AND PREPARED STUDENTS
DIRECTLY FOR THE WORKPLACE
WHILE GIVING THEM
THE SATISFACTION
OF BEING ABLE
TO DO SOMETHING WELL.
THANKS TO MRS. SHAW,
ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
IN BOSTON
ADOPTED INDUSTRIAL ARTS
AND COOKING CLASSES
AND KINDERGARTEN PROGRAMS
BY 1891.
IN ADDITION
TO MANUAL TRAINING CLASSES,
THE SCHOOL SPONSORED
SUMMER OUTINGS AND CAMPS,
SOCIAL CLUBS,
ATHLETIC CONTESTS,
ALL DESIGNED
TO HELP IMMIGRANT GROUPS
EASE INTO LIFE
AS AMERICANS.
THE NORTH BENNET
STREET SCHOOL
HAS SURVIVED
FOR WELL OVER A CENTURY--
ALMOST A CENTURY
AND A QUARTER.
OF COURSE,
THE MISSION HAS CHANGED.
TODAY THEY'RE FOCUSED
ON TEACHING MEN AND WOMEN
THE CRAFTS THAT INVOLVE
FINE FURNITURE MAKING
AND OTHER ARTS.
TODAY, STUDENTS COME HERE
FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
AND THE WORLD
TO LEARN THE BASICS
AND THE FINER POINTS OF
JEWELRY MAKING AND REPAIR,
PIANO TECHNOLOGY,
VIOLIN MAKING
AND RESTORATION,
LOCKSMITHING,
CABINET
AND FURNITURE MAKING,
BOOKBINDING, CARPENTRY,
AND PRESERVATION
CARPENTRY--
THE ART OF MAINTAINING
AND RESTORING
HISTORIC BUILDINGS.
NOW, LET'S GET TOGETHER
WITH INSTRUCTOR ROBERT ADAM
AND TOUR THE PRESERVATION
CARPENTRY WORKSHOP
TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT STUDENTS LEARN
AT THE NORTH BENNET
STREET SCHOOL.
ROBERT, I THINK ONE
OF THE GREAT THINGS
ABOUT THE PRESERVATION
CARPENTRY PROGRAM HERE
IS THE FACT THAT
YOU'RE REALLY WORKING
WITH REAL HOUSES.
THESE ARE PIECES
FOR THE SHIRLEY EUSTIS
MANSION
HERE IN ROXBURY, RIGHT?
YES.
THIS IS THE BALUSTRADE
FROM THE CUPOLA.
SO, THIS WILL
ACTUALLY BE INSTALLED
AT THE HOUSE,
AND THESE BALUSTERS--
ARE THEY
AUTHENTIC COPIES
OF THE ORIGINAL ONES?
WELL, THEY ARE.
HERE'S ONE OF
THE ORIGINAL ONES.
THESE WERE ARCHIVED
IN THE ATTIC.
AND THEY'RE PRETTY CLOSE.
WE UNFORTUNATELY
WEREN'T ABLE TO REPLICATE
THE TENONS ON THEM.
BUT THESE WERE
FROM THE 1970s,
AND WE'RE REUSING THESE.
THEY'RE WESTERN RED CEDAR.
WE'RE REUSING THEM NOW
WITH THE REST OF THE BODY
IS WESTERN RED CEDAR.
THIS IS LIGHT
AS A FEATHER, THIS
ORIGINAL 18th CENTURY--
EASTERN WHITE PINE.
EASTERN WHITE PINE.
BUT PROBABLY VIRGIN
STANDS OF WHITE PINE
WHICH WERE
MUCH MORE DURABLE
THAN THE WHITE PINE
THAT'S AVAILABLE TODAY.
AND, ALSO, PROTECTIVE
OF LEAD PAINT.
AH, GOOD OLD LEAD PAINT.
NOT GOOD FOR THE KIDS,
BUT CERTAINLY GOOD
FOR PROTECTING THE WOOD.
WELL, GOOD
ON THE ROOF, ANYWAYS.
YEAH, GOOD ON THE ROOF,
INDEED.
WELL, THAT'S
GONNA BE VERY PRETTY.
AND WHAT'S GOING ON
HERE?
WELL, THIS IS
A STICKING BOARD SETUP
FOR A HAND PLANE.
JACKIE IS MAKING
A SASH DOOR FOR THE CUPOLA.
AND THE CONSTRUCTION
OF THIS PARTICULAR
PIECE OF SASH
THAT GOES IN THE DOOR
IS APPLIED MOLDINGS.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WE'VE DISCOVERED
IS THAT WE DIDN'T
HAVE A SHAPER CUTTER
OR ANYTHING TO DO IT,
SO DOING IT BY HAND
ENDED UP FOR US
BEING A REAL OPTION
FOR IT.
IT'S GOING TO BE DONE
IN MAHOGANY.
WE'RE JUST PRACTICING
SOME PIECES HERE
ON EASTERN WHITE PINE.
SO YOU'RE JUST
MAKING PRACTICE PIECES.
WE'RE JUST DOING
SOME MOCK-UPS HERE
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE
THE FILLET SIZE RIGHT
AND SO FORTH ON IT.
NOW, THERE ARE
A NUMBER OF WOMEN
IN THE PROGRAM, I NOTICED.
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
HOW MANY STUDENTS
TOTAL DO YOU HAVE?
IN 2 YEARS, WE CARRY
A MAXIMUM OF 12 PEOPLE.
IT'S 10-12 PEOPLE A YEAR.
IT'S GENERALLY
ABOUT A THIRD WOMEN.
MM-HMM. AND DO
THEY GENERALLY GO
INTO MANAGEMENT ROLES,
OR ARE THEY ALWAYS
DOING HANDS-ON--
NO, MOST PEOPLE
DO HANDS-ON STUFF,
ALTHOUGH PEOPLE ARE
OFTENTIMES CAREER CHANGES
AND WILL BE COUPLING
THE TRAINING THEY GET HERE
WITH PERHAPS ANOTHER CAREER
THEY HAD IN A PAST LIFE.
MM-HMM.
WE'VE HAD A LOT
OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED IN PUBLISHING
OR ENGINEERING
OR ARCHITECTURE OR--
AND THEY USE THIS
TO ENHANCE THOSE PROGRAMS.
AND MANY OF THE TOOLS
YOU'RE USING
ARE ACTUALLY ANTIQUES.
YES. A LOT OF THE TOOLS.
WE TRY TO USE
A LOT OF HAND TOOLS,
AND MOST OF THE TOOLS
THAT WE BUY ARE...
USER TOOLS, USED,
USER TOOLS.
SURE. NOW,
I NOTICE IN THE BACK
YOU'VE GOT A GIGANTIC
PAIR OF MAHOGANY DOORS.
ARE THEY ALSO FOR
THE SHIRLEY EUSTIS MANSION?
NO, THESE ARE
ACTUALLY GOING HERE
AT NORTH BENNET
STREET SCHOOL,
AND THEY'RE FOR OUR
NORTH BENNET STREET
SIDE ENTRANCE,
WHICH ORIGINALLY
WAS OUR MAIN ENTRANCE.
AND THEY'RE BEING
REPRODUCED IN MAHOGANY.
THEY WERE ORIGINALLY
DONE IN, AGAIN,
EASTERN WHITE PINE,
AND OVER THE YEARS
THE PANELS
WERE PUNCHED OUT.
AND SO WE'RE TRYING
TO BRING THEM BACK
TO THEIR ORIGINAL
GLORY, ANYWAYS.
UNFORTUNATELY,
THIS ENTRANCE IS USED
AS A SERVICE ENTRANCE,
SO WE CHOSE MAHOGANY
BECAUSE IT WAS A LOT
MORE DENSE IN WOODWORK.
IT'LL HOLD UP WELL
IN THE WEATHER,
BUT IT DOES
TEND TO BANG UP
A LITTLE BIT.
WELL, IT WILL.
WE'RE HOPING THAT PEOPLE
WILL BE KIND TO IT.
GREAT.
THANKS, ROBERT.
OK. THANK YOU, BOB.
NEXT, A STUDENT FROM
THE NORTH BENNET STREET SCHOOL
WILL HAND PLANE MOLDINGS
AT OUR BUILDING SITE.
NEXT TIME ON...
WE'LL FOCUS
ON FINISH CARPENTRY
AT OUR CENTER-ENTRY
COLONIAL PROJECT.
BOB RYLEY JOINS US
TO PUT UP A COMPLICATED
4-PART CEILING CORNICE
IN THE DINING ROOM.
ALSO, WE'LL VISIT
THE NORTH BENNET STREET SCHOOL
IN THE HISTORIC
NORTH END OF BOSTON
TO LEARN ABOUT
PRESERVATION CARPENTRY.
AND A TEAM
FROM THE SCHOOL
WILL HELP US CREATE
A HAND-PLANED MOLDING
USING 3 DIFFERENT PLANES.
SO DON'T MISS IT.
THAT'S NEXT TIME
ON HOME AGAIN.
NEXT TIME ON...
IT'S HAND-PLANED MOLDINGS
FOR THE DINING ROOM
AND A VISIT TO
THE NORTH BENNET STREET SCHOOL.
DON'T MISS IT.
AND ROBERT
IS WITH US OUT HERE
AT OUR CONSTRUCTION SITE.
AND, ALSO,
STUDENT NICK BEASLEY.
HI, NICK.
HOW ARE YOU?
AND IT'S GREAT
THAT EVERYBODY MAKES
THEIR OWN WORKBOX.
THAT'S A BEAUTY.
YEAH, THAT IS A BEAUTY.
EVERYTHING
ON THE INSIDE SLIDES.
WHAT DID YOU USE,
MAHOGANY AND PINE?
THAT'S CHERRY
AND PINE.
VERY NICE.
AND THIS IS
FOR PLOWING, RIGHT?
CORRECT.
SO WE'VE GOT
ANTIQUE TOOLS
AS WELL
AS NEW TOOLS
THAT ARE GONNA
BE USED HERE
TO CREATE A MOLDING,
A BOLECTION MOLDING,
WHICH WILL SURROUND
THIS HEARTH OPENING.
AND BOLECTION MOLDINGS--
WE'VE GOT SEVERAL
SAMPLES HERE.
ANY MOLDING WHERE
THE CENTER PROFILE
OR A MIDDLE PROFILE
IS HIGHER THAN THE ENDS,
AND THIS IS
A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT.
BUT WE'RE MAKING ONE
THAT'S INSPIRED BY
A COLONIAL HOUSE
KNOWN AS
THE WINSLOW-CROCKER HOUSE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND WE BASICALLY
SAID TO YOU,
COPY THIS
USING HAND TOOLS.
YES.
SO HOW DO YOU
GO ABOUT DOING IT?
WELL, IN PRETTY MUCH
THE SAME WAY
AS IT WAS DONE
TRADITIONALLY.
WE'VE REPLACED
THE PLOW PLANE
WITH USING A TABLE SAW
AND A DADO HEAD
AND PLOWED THE GROOVES
THAT WAY.
BUT THIS IS SORT
OF HOW THE PIECE BEGINS
AS JUST
A RECTANGULAR SECTION.
AND THEN WE DRAW
THE PROFILE ON HERE,
AND THEN
IT GETS PLOWED...
IN DIFFERENT STAGES.
IN DIFFERENT STAGES.
IT GETS SOME GROOVES
PLOWED IN IT LIKE THAT.
AND THEN IT GETS
ALSO BEVELED OFF
TO REDUCE MOST
OF THE WASTE HERE.
WHICH IS
AT THIS POINT HERE.
AND THIS IS REALLY
WHERE WE START.
AND ON EACH END
WE TAKE AND TRACE
THE ACTUAL PROFILE.
BUT THESE WAFERS
ARE WHAT WE USE
TO REPLICATE IT.
WE KEEP A SAMPLE OF
THESE IF WE EVER HAVE
TO MAKE ANOTHER PIECE.
SURE. NOW, WHICH PLANES
WILL YOU BE USING FOR THIS?
WELL, WE'RE GONNA
BE USING 3 PLANES.
AND THESE 2 PLANES
ARE MODIFIED
HOLLOWS AND ROUNDS.
AND HOLLOWS AND ROUNDS
ARE...
AS THE NAME IMPLIES...
THEY WILL CUT EITHER--
A HOLLOW PLANE
CUTS A ROUND SHAPE.
A ROUND PLANE WILL CUT
A HOLLOW SHAPE.
AND WHAT WE'VE DONE
IS WE'VE ADDED
SOME FENCES TO THESE
THAT GIVE US
A DEPTH STOP,
AND WE'LL STOP
ON WHAT WILL BE
OUR FILLETS
THAT WE'VE
PLOWED IN HERE.
THE FILLETS
ARE THE FLAT PARTS
AS OPPOSED
TO THE ROUNDED PARTS.
AND THIS ONE--
WHAT WILL THIS ONE DO?
AND THIS ONE
PUTS A LITTLE
THUMB NAIL MOLDING ON
THAT IS JUST ON
THE VERY EDGE.
RIGHT THERE.
AND THAT'S
THE SAME KIND OF MOLDING
THAT IS ON
THE FIELDED PANEL
WALL HERE AS WELL.
GENTLEMEN, PROCEED.
WE WANT TO WATCH.
Vila: SO, YOU WANT TO MAKE
ONE FULL PASS EACH TIME.
Adam: YES, THAT'S
USUALLY THE PROCEDURE,
ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT
NECESSARY TO DO THAT
ALL THE TIME
BECAUSE THESE PLANES
HAVE STOPS ON THEM--
FENCES AND STOPS.
Vila: ALL RIGHT,
SO NOW YOU HAVE TO
SWITCH PLANES, RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE'RE TAKING
THE THUMB-NAIL PLANE,
AND WE'RE REDUCING
THE OTHER SIDE
TO GET THAT
TO RUN ON THE BENCH.
AND THIS WILL THEN
REDUCE THE FILLET
SO THAT IT WILL GIVE US
AN ACCURATE CUT
WITH THIS PLANE
WHEN WE GO BACK TO IT.
THERE'LL BE, ACTUALLY,
SEVERAL PASSES
THAT WE'LL TAKE,
REDUCING IT EACH TIME
AND REFINING IT.
SOMETIMES THE GRAIN
CHANGES A LITTLE BIT,
AND THE FEWER CUTS
YOU TAKE--
THE LIGHTER THE CUTS
YOU TAKE,
THE BETTER
THE FINISH WILL BE.
WORK WITH THAT ONE.
WE'RE GONNA TURN
THE PIECE AROUND
SO THAT WE CAN WORK
OFF THE OTHER EDGE
WITH THIS FENCE--
WITH THIS PLANE THAT
ALSO HAS A FENCE ON IT.
THIS IS A SKEW-ANGLE PLANE
THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE
TO REDUCE THE FILLETS HERE
DOWN TO OUR LINES
SO THAT WE CAN
FINISH UP OUR MOLDING
SO THAT WE'LL COME
TO THE RIGHT PROFILE.
OK, AND ONCE
THE PENCIL MARKS ARE GONE,
I GUESS YOU'RE DONE,
RIGHT?
YES.
HALF THE PENCIL MARK.
HALF THE PENCIL MARK.
THANKS, GENTLEMEN.
WE'LL BE BACK IN A MOMENT
WITH A PREVIEW
OF OUR NEXT SHOW,
SO STICK AROUND.
AND THAT'S A WRAP.
COME HOME AGAIN NEXT TIME.
WE'LL BE BUILDING
A COLONIAL-STYLE GARDEN
OUT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE,
GETTING TOGETHER
WITH OUR LANDSCAPE DESIGNER,
AND TOURING
A GARDEN CENTER.
TILL THEN, I'M BOB VILA.
IT'S GOOD
TO HAVE YOU HOME AGAIN.
