Cassell's Carpentry and Joinery

N. Hasluck Paul

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. i Cassell's Carpentry and Joinery is a comprehensive collection of resources for those looking to develop their handicraft skills. Over almost six hundred pages the editor has used both his own and his writers' experience and study to provide concise assistance to the student or journeyman carpenter. <br><br>This book is accessible and has many lessons to teach both the serious student of capentry and the complete beginner. Cassell's Carpentry and Joinery is primarily focused on practical advice on tools, techniques, materials and treatments, but those who appreciate a theoretical backdrop will not be disappointed by the comments on the chemistry of creating a perfect artefact or the biological nature of the carpenter's materials. As a practicing carpenter, instructor or experienced amateur you will be excellently served by Paul Hasluck's work. <br><br>The encyclopaedic nature of the work is easily navigated using the extensive index which is split into sections on joints, tools, frames, screens and window casements among many other topics, ranging from construction to the manufacture of smaller features and decorations. The student can easily access tutorials on traditional carpentry methods, explained clearly and in detail to enable the completion of a wide range of projects. As in the original edition, almost two thousand detailed and clearly labelled illustrations are distributed at frequent intervals throughout the book. <br><br>Any library or personal collection that hopes to provide guidance on woodwork procedure, theory and practice would be incomplete without this work.
