I am about to embark on my first project of waiscotting and am interested in anyone that knows where I could find plans. Of particular interest to me is how to tie the door casings in so the top cap will not protrude past the casing. Any other tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Gerry,
I've never done any of that sort of work but two places to look are:
Construction of American Furniture Treasures
by Lester Margon (Dover Press) last chapter
Fine Woodworking issue #66

*I have a book published in 1990 entitled "Traditional Architectural Millwork Designs for Today's Home." It is full of ideas that may be of help to you. It was published by Cushman & Moore, Inc. for Colonial Woodworks P.O. Box 19965, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27619. Hope it helps.
*I put up wainscotting in a dining room about 2 years ago. It is the painted version not natural wood. I believe the plans came from (gulp) American Wooodworker and used extensive (double gulp) MDF! However, the final result is beautiful and I receive many compliments. Since it is painted the MDF is actually the best choice since it is cheap, easily worked, and very stable with changes in temp and humidity. If you are intersted, e-mail me and I will dig out the date of the article (about 2.5 years ago).
