Woodwork Joints: How They Are Set Out, How Made and Where Used; With Four Hundred and Thirty Illustrations and a Complete Index of Eleven Hundred References (Classic Reprint)

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.
