A Manual Of Carpentry And Joinery PDF Download

Excerpt from A Manual of Carpentry and Joinery IN writing this book the needs of carpenters and joiners who are studying the scientific principles of their work have been borne in mind throughout. Students who are attending classes at Technical Institutes to prepare for the examinations of the City and Guilds of London Institute in Carpentry and Joinery will find that the following chapters have the same aims as their syllabus, inasmuch as they are intended to develop an appreciation of general principles rather than to encourage empirical methods of work. In fact, the educational ideal underlying the syllabus of the City and Guilds of London Institute has constantly guided the author. The simplest types of construction have been dealt with most fully, and the principles they embody have been emphasised continually. Without going into great detail, these rules have then been applied to more complicated examples; for a long experience has convinced the author that a student who has grasped the fundamental facts of a subject requires a minimum of guidance in more advanced work.
