The Carpenter's And Builder's Assistant, And Wood Worker's Guide,
BY LUCIUS D. GOULD. PREFACE. Several years have elapsed since I
first published the House Carpenters Assistant, which met with a
ready sale of some seventeen hundred copies, but in consequence of
the death of the pub lisher the work is now out of print. The
object of the althor is to revise the former work by omitting the
treaties on inathematical instruments, to make room for kdditional
matter that had been overlooked in the former work, in order to
furnish house carpeters and builders with L new and easy system of
lilies founded on geometrical principles for framing the most
dimcult roofs for cutting every description of joints and for
finding the sec. tions of angular pieces at any point from a
horizontal to a erpendicular, so that their sides shall be in the
plane the sides they are connected with for finding the form of the
raking mould. for a gable, to intersect with the horizontal mould
at any iingle diverging from a straight line the nitreing of
circular mouldings the relative sizes of timbers framed to support
s given weight to the rnitreing of planes oblique to the base at my
angle. Together with these rules, the altthor also presents tables
of the weight and cohesive strength of the differeut mterials uscd
in the constructiorr of buildings as well as the weight required to
crush said materils, vith a treatise on the adhesion of nails,
screws, iron pins and glue. Also an easy system of siir railing for
straight end platform stairs, which will enable carpeuters to
finish and complete a dwelling without the assistance of a
professional stair builder and to all this is added a practical and
mathematicaldemonstration of finding the circumference and squaring
the circle when the diameter is given. There can be but little
doubt that a work of this kind is needed by architects and
builders. and especially by carpenters and worlrmon who are
inexperienced in the different kinds of labor which they are called
upon to perform. Many a journeyman carpenter has found himself
suddenly thrown out of employment simply because he was ignorant of
the rules by which he could perform some required task. It is
rather for the benefit of such than for the experienced workmen,
that this volume is designed, and should it be the means of
promoting their interest or inciting them to a study of the noble
science and art of construction, the author will feel well
compensnted for his Iabor. It is but due to cknowledge that me have
consulted the valuable works of Thomas Tredgold, for the articles
on the strength and weight of matials, also to Mr. Honetus M.
Albee, a skillful and experienced stair-builder for the niethod of
finding the distnces to kerf the back string for circular stairs.
