This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to carpentry workshop practice, being a complete handbook designed for students, apprentices, mechanics, and others who could benefit from training in woodwork. It discusses chiefly the timbers in general use, fastening and tools used in ordinary practice, common operations and processes required for the manipulation of wood, types of the various joints, and more. Highly recommended for those with an interest in woodwork. Contents include: "Timber: Structure", "Pith", "Annual Rings", "Medullary Rays", "Bark", "Felling", "Conversion", "Seasoning", " Selection", "Shrinkage", "Decay", "Dry Rot", "Wet Rot", "Fastenings: Glue", "Wedges", "Keys", "Buttons", "Angle Blocks", "Dowels", "Trenails", "Nails", "Screws", "Bolts", et cetera.
