More details on Saturday's Carpentry Clinic

Hello Finish Carpentry Friends!


Robby here and I'm really excited about this month's free carpentry clinic at Piedmont Lumber in Walnut Creek.

This month we feature one of my favorite projects, wainscot paneling. I'm going to show you three different construction and application techniques. First up is a simple and cost effective (cheap cheap) applied panelling which really gives you a great bang for your buck. Second is a shaker style which works great in a Craftsman Home, featuring the use of Kreg Pocket screw jointery, and third is the classic genuine waiscot panel with raised moulding. Don't miss it!

We start at 10:30am with a break for a BBQ lunch from 12:00pm - 1:00pm, finishing up at 2:30pm. Hope to see you there!

Door Clinic Saturday, July 11 at our Walnut Creek Store

Our third in a monthly series of free DIY clinics, this Saturday's seminar will be taught by Robby Myer of Piedmont Lumber & Craftsman Collective and will be all about doors - featuring specialty door tools.

Starting at 10:30 a.m., learn the basics of hanging a prehung interior door and how to build a door or window header. We will also cover the basics of interior door removal and replacement as well as some moulding ideas to dress up your doors. This section of the clinic will be aimed at beginners and semi-experienced DIYers who want to learn additional tips and tricks.

From noon until 1:00 p.m., we'll host a free BBQ lunch, after which we will offer a second clinic on the tricky techniques of machining new door slabs to fit into existing jambs, which should end at 2:30 p.m.
