Synopsis

Woodwork Joints contains a thorough explanation of a great number of carpentry joints. More than simply describing them however it goes into detail about the whens and whys of using the various connections and the pros and cons of each, as well as showing their place in history. Even better it describes them simply enough that anyone can understand even the most complicated of joints without being a professional woodworker, without sacrificing any accuracy.

William Fairham''s book is essential reading for any woodworker, especially those working by hand. With careful reading and practice it will leave you a master of this aspect of the craft. It even contains a section on puzzles which will provide great practice on the other techniques.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Joint, and theD ovetail Joint, the actual tool operations setting out, gauging, marking, sawing, chiselling, paring, etc. are fully explained; and the fact that nearly sixty illustrations are devoted to the subject of Dovetailing is but one indication cf the care which has been taken in making the directions clear and complete. As the methods of working are almost similar in the case of other joints, it has not of course been deemed necessary to repeat these detailed instructions in every chapter. In the preparation of the Volume the Publishers have secured the services of Mr. William Fairham, by whom most of the chapters have been written and illustrated. Although intended for the practical man, and not professing to be a graded course of educational woodwork, the Volume is one which Manual Training Instructors will find of the greatest value in conducting woodwork classes. No book hitherto published contains such a variety of illustrations of joints, almost all of which will form suitable exercises of practical educational importance in aM anual Training course. In conjunction with the other Volumes inT heW oodworker Series {D etails of Cabinet Construction, Staining and Polishing, etc.), this Volume, it is hoped, will leave the woodworker in possession of a store of information which, associated with his own practical knowledge and skilled experience, will enable him if he so pleases to reach to the highest and most advanced branches of his craft.
