"Anton is a first class craftsman and his team is super detail oriented! When he first came into look at the mess we were dealing with he had no worries and had a plan for everything. We worked along side him and I was really amazed with his work arounds and attention to detail. He went above and beyond to keep the entire project under budget and even did more work because he did not like how some things looked. I wouldn’t even bother with anyone else. You’ll be sorry if you pass on Anton. He is a real diamond in the rough! I cannot say enough good things about Anton and European Craftman and Remodeling."

"Jose is a superb woodworker and delightful human being. His prices are reasonable, he listens carefully, communicates well, delivers on time, is responsible and reliable and is a very creative problem solver. The quality of the finished work is excellent. I had him build several custom pieces for my very small â  tiny houseâ  space with some tricky spacing problems to solve - two storage beds, another unique triangular â  broom closetâ  on wheels that fit under my stairs, and an additional side storage bench on wheels. I would highly recommend him as a woodworker and especially skilled at solving tricky built-in projects."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

Landscape timbers can last 10 to 20 years in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.
