Joe Fusco taught me how to understand crown molding, especially how to install it on a cathedral ceiling. I’ll always remember him for that. And I’ll always remember the crown chart he prepared and allowed me to publish in my finish carpentry book.

The editors thought it wasn’t “necessary” to give Joe credit for that chart—by that time, those charts were appearing everywhere. But even though it’s posthumous—he passed away a few years ago—Joe Fusco deserves credit for developing the first one.
