Everyone wants trouble-free doors and windows -- doors that swing smoothly without rubbing or slouching, windows that open easily and keep cold air out. Over the last 26 years Tom Law has installed thousands of doors and windows, developing the time-honored techniques that mark him as a master carpenter.
Whether you just want to add some light to a room or need to hang doors and windows on a job site, you'll find Law's methods and trade secrets invaluable. And Law doesn't ignore problems. In one part of the tape, he intentionally creates a door-hanger's nightmare, then shows you how to save the installation.
By watching Law you'll learn how to:
* square up and secure an opening window in minutes * set and seal an insulated glass unit in a custom-built frame * shim and plumb a prehung exterior door so it won't sag * size an interior door blank to fit within a site-built frame * make a simple template to align and rout hinge mortises
(about 60 minutes)

Video is geared toward new construction doors and windows. Tom Law seems to be an excellent experienced carpenter. I learned some useful tips and techniques that would be helpful in the future projects. It would have been helpful if the video could have included a little more on installations of new construction windows in an existing house that had older windows, and exterior vinyl siding with wrapped brick molding and jambs already in place. How to remove old construction and prepare the raw opening would have been useful.
