editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the
'do-it-yourself' book, producing many works 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 Watch-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.
