First published in 1901, this book contains a comprehensive guide to
making various things out of bamboo, including tables, chairs, cabinets,
and more. "Bamboo Work" is highly recommended for anyone with an
interest in woodwork and hand making furniture, and it would make for a
great addition to DIY collections. Contents include: "Bamboo: It's
Sources and Uses", "How to Work Bamboo", "Bamboo Tables", "Bamboo Chairs
and Seats", "Bamboo Hall Racks and Stands", "Bamboo Music Rack", "Bamboo
Cabinets and Bookcases" "Bamboo Window Blinds", "Miscellaneous Articles
of Bamboo", etc. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 - 1916) was an Australian
engineer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of
the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many books on subjects including
engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by
this author include: "Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of
Turning" (1881), "The Wrath-Jobber's Handy Book" (1887), and
"Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them" (1887). Many vintage books
such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in
mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern,
high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new
biography of the author.
