"Austin responded quickly to our request for a quote and after we hired him he communicated daily during the project. The covering he built for our deck is great and we were very pleased with his work. We would definitely hire him for another project!!"

"I hired them to build a custom swing for my daughter. This was the second time we had tried to get a swing built. The first person I hired did a horrible job (they were not related in anyway to Lonely Mountain Craftsmen). Dylan listened to what we were looking for and addressed concerns that came up with the other person. He was very thorough and built a swing that was up to standards needed for a public swing. He was very aware of what we had experienced before and did his best to alleviate our concerns. Our daughter loves her swing and we believe it will last a really long time. I would definitely recommend."

"Austin was indeed the best Handyman we have ever encountered. Not even sure if that is the correct term to use for him. He replaced our back porch steps and mounted two televisions for us. His work is beyond remarkable. Highly recommend this young man for a job done right!"

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.
