Basic Carpentry Skills



Carpenters or home renovators need to have basic carpentry skills to complete home renovation, home building and other construction projects. They must be able to layout building sites; determine elevations of site excavations, concrete footings and other components; build concrete footing and wall forms; build stairs; and frame and sheath floors, walls, and roofs. Carpenters should also be able to build ladders, sawhorses, and scaffolds. The postings on this site provide that information and a way to incorporate the perfect rectangle, the Golden Section, into building projects. The site also contains information on how to build modular homes and cabinet joints. The topics are listed below.
