Carpentry and Joinery |
"We again have the voices of first rate masters at our sides." - Roy Underhill
Finally back in print, first published in 1907, is the bible of finish carpentry from a golden era of architectural
woodworking. Every aspect of joinery is covered in this book, with more than 1800 engravings and twelve spectacular plates to illustrate the
topics.
This incredibly comprehensive volume contains chapters on timber; joints; floors; partitions; windows; doors; moldings; tools and more.
Each subject is explored, illustrated, and examined first in the simple case and then in fancier and fancier permutations. This is the
best instruction ever written that explains the details of both simple and fancy late Victorian architectural woodworking. Whether you are a
joiner, restorer, or architect, you will be amazed at the level of practical information, clarity of explanation, and continued utility of this
book. A new introduction by Roy Underhill has been added to put the book in historic perspective. .
