This is a classic guide to woodworking that focuses on making a variety
of cabinets and similar items of household furniture. Including
instructions for designing and practical step-by-step directions, this
timeless volume will be of utility to DIY enthusiasts and those with an
interest in woodwork in general. 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.
