Joinery and Carpentry - A Practical and Authoritative Guide Dealing with All Branches of the Craft of Woodworking - Vol. I

The exact dividing line between joinery and carpentry is sometimes difficult to define, but generally carpentry is taken to mean 'the constructional woodwork' and joinery refers to the finishing process. This text contains a detailed discussion of these two disciplines, including information on tools, materials, and technique. A great handbook for anyone with an interest in woodworking, this comes complete with easy-to-follow instructions and handy illustrations, making it of value to both the amateur and those with previous experience. The chapters of this book include: 'The Selection and Use of Tools'; 'The Workshop and its Equipment'; 'Joints, Fastenings, and Fixings'; and 'Machine Woodworking'. We are proud to republish this text here complete with a new introduction on woodworking.
