General Carpentry Tips For Utica
Are you a DIY type in the Mohawk Valley? We rounded up a few of the best tips that we could find on the internet to help you out.
Miters- Getting the perfect fit can be tough, here is a tip found on the Family Handyman
Practice on test pieces for the perfect miter

I think this tip comes with experience and is the reason why some people choose to call a professional after trying to complete a job themselves. This example is perfect in reference to decks and construction from Fine Home Building:
Parallel is more important than level or square
Some rules of carpentry change from framing to finish work. Instead of keeping track of plumb, level and square, you now must keep finish materials parallel to the walls and floors. The eye sees diverging lines more readily than it sees plumb and level.
The only exceptions are cabinets and doors, which must hang plumb to work properly. If the floor isn’t level, trim the door bottoms parallel to the floor rather than leave them level with a tapered gap.
