Pattern Making (A Treatise On The Construction And Application Of Patterns, Including The Use Of Woodworking Tools, The Art Of Joinery, Wood Turning, And Various Methods Of Building Patterns And Core-Boxes Of Different Types)

In dealing with the general subject of pattern construction, the idea has been to explain very thoroughly the elements or fundamental features of this work. For instance, much attention has been paid to the exact procedure in the fitting or joining of different parts, and to the building up and formation of various shapes common to pattern construction, because it was considered more important to explain fully how parts are sawed, chiseled, planned, turned, and fastened together, than to fill the book with miscellaneous and unrelated examples of pattern work. From the author's preface. Pattern making for the wood worker.
