"Great instructional book for building a traditional style fireplace surround..."
"...written clearly so that most anyone could understand the sequence to get a very professional job. This was money well spent."
"If you are fairly new to woodworking and need a mantle, this is the book for you... Save yourself $200-300 and buy this book and build it yourself!"
"... Since hiring contractors are both expensive and often unreliable, I decided to tackle much of the work myself. This included designing and building my fireplace mantel.
I searched for books on fireplace mantels and found this one. It has a complete detailed chapter on how to build a classic fireplace mantel, step-by-step, with detailed photos using materials I was able to easily purchase at Home Depot.
The results were phenominal! I have since had family and friends ask if I would build them a mantel. I almost hate to reveal how easy it was when they are willing to pay a nice sum of money for something that took me the weekend and little cash.
I highly recommend this book!"
"I am glad I ordered this book. I was doing something with my fireplace
and found a picture of what I wanted. Sometimes it's so hard to explain
something. I was able to show it to the worker I had doing it."
