Preparation

Since you only need a few tools to install your wood moulding, you should invest in quality tools. This will make your project easier and the finished product will look more professional. Following is a description of the tools and materials you will need:
- Miter Box and Saw or Electric Miter Saw
- Coping Saw
- Hammer
- Tape Measure
- Level
- Nail Set
- Fasteners
- Wood Putty
- Sand Paper
In many cases it may be more convenient to stain or paint moulding before installation.
After installation, simply touch up areas such as nail holes.
