Carpentry for Boys' is a wonderful guide to woodworking for young boys,
including detailed chapters on drawing, laying out work, designing, and
architecture. Written in simple language and complete with over 250
original illustrations, this text was designed with the beginner in mind
and constitutes a great starting-point for those with little or no
previous experience in carpentry. The chapters of this book include:
'Tools and Their Uses', 'How to Grind and Sharpen Tools', 'How to Hold
and Handle Tools', 'How to Design Articles', 'How Work is Laid Out',
'The Uses of the Compass and the Square', 'How the Different Structural
Parts are Designed', 'Drawing and its Utility', et cetera. We are proud
to republish this antique text now complete with a new introduction on
woodworking.
