Cassell's Carpentry and Joinery' is a practical work on practical
handicrafts, and it was first published in the confident belief that it
was by far the most exhaustive book on these subjects hitherto produced.
This text is a comprehensive guide on carpentry, compromising notes on
materials, processes, principles and practice, and including about 1,800
engravings. A great book for carpenters of all levels, this book is not
to be missed by discerning woodworkers and constitutes a great addition
to collections of woodworking literature. The chapters of this book
include: 'Hand Tools and appliances', 'Timber', 'Joints', 'Floors',
'Timber Partitions', 'Timber Roofs', 'Framework of Dormer Windows',
'Half-Timber Constructions', 'Arch Canterings', 'Joiners' Rods', 'Door
and Door Frames', 'Window Sashes and Casements', 'Mouldings: Working and
Setting-Out', et cetera. We are proud to republish this text here
complete with a new introduction on woodworking.
