Practical Stone Masonry is the first major book in nearly seventy
years on the craft of the stonemason. Today the work of the
stonemason is almost exclusively confined to the repair of historic
buildings, requiring a full working knowledge of the detailed
traditional craft practices relating to repairs. This book
addresses that need. It covers the basic methods of working stone,
the making of specialized tools, and, for the first time, a full
analysis of the procedures for setting-out for repairs. A broad
description of the nature and problems of stone also includes
guidance on selection. In addition, the authors look at the causes
of decay in stone and outline methods for repair of both stone and
mortar. "Practical Stone Masonry" contains essential advice for
working masons and apprentices, and all those engaged in planning
and supervising such works. It includes: the basic methods of
working stone; how to make specialized tools; the procedures for
setting-out for repairs explained; and, the nature and problems of
stone plus a guide to selection.
