Anyone know of a good wainscoting "how to"?

[Nick2cd]

Does anyone have a good resource on how to make and install wainscoting?  I'm sure this seems like a stupid question to those of you who do this every day, but i need things laid out systematically.  thanks

When I was trying to lay out the wainscoting for my great room I was as lost as you.  I did some research and found a bunch of references on the Internet to an article in the March 2008 issue of Fine Homebuilding.  I found a copy on ebay for just a few bucks and it was very helpful.

This is actually the original video that sparked my interest in wainscoting. I subscribe to Jon's YouTube channel. He does beautiful trim work
