Synopsis

Discover practical drawing skills that bridge classroom lessons and real workshop projects. This resource helps students gain hands-on confidence in reading, laying out, and producing working drawings that team with shop activities.

Structured for junior high through the first year of high school, it outlines a three-year course that can be used alongside or in place of other drawing or shop texts. The book covers instruments and their uses, plate layouts, and a progression from tracing and blueprints to isometric and cabinet drawings. It also includes project-based sections on wood turning, cabinet making, concrete work, and stenciling, with step-by-step plates, problems, and practice exercises. You’ll find practical guidance for preparing stock bills, planning cuts, and finishing projects with appropriate finishes. The material is designed to be used in combination courses or as a standalone drawing-focused text that supports hands-on woodworking and construction activities.

• Learn to read and prepare clear working drawings and blueprints


• Practice through plates, geometrical problems, isometric and cabinet drawings


• Explore hands-on projects in wood, metal, and concrete work

Ideal for students beginning shop work, as well as teachers seeking a practical, all-in-one guide to drawing and project planning.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Drawing is a langtiage the language in which art records the discoveries of science. It is not German, it is not French, it is not English it is universal common to all draughtsmen. The face of the student exhibits vivid flashes of intelligence as the picture reveals itself under his hand. Each line is a word, an angle completes the sentence; with a curve and a little delicate shading we have a paragraph. The picture begins to grow with thought. The students face flushes, his heart beats quick and his hand trembles. But he restrains himself, and adds more lines, more angles and curves, more shading, and the picture is complete. It stands out in bold relief, and looks like a real thing. If the student knows the story of the brazen statue of A lberlus Magnus he half expects his picture of a locomotive to move. He listens for the sound of the hissing steam, and a smile lights up his face as the illusion vanishes. Presently he will take his drawing to the shop, and at the bench, the lathe, the anvil, and I he forge, reproduce it in iron and steel, and actually vitalise il with steam: -C harles H.
