CARPENTRY MADE EASY; OR, THE SCIENCE AND ART OF FRAMING, was
written by William E. Bell of Ottawa, Illinois and published by
Howard Challen of Philadelphia in 1858. It remained in continuous
publication through 1904, evidence of the book's importance to the
architectural and building trades of the period. CARPENTRY MADE
EASY was the first 19th century architectural trade book to
popularize the transition from heavy timber frame to light balloon
frame construction. Although not the first book to introduce
balloon frame construction, CARPENTRY MADE EASY was the first
technical book to thoroughly describe the method in such a way as
to allow the skilled practical carpenter to readily apply this
affordable building method. Included in CARPENTRY MADE EASY were
the various major framing methods of the period for everything from
small house construction through to barns, mills, church steeples
and bridges. William E. Bell was a trained carpenter and joiner who
described himself as an "Architect and Practical Builder," a term
which at that time referred to someone who specialized in both
building design and on-site construction. It was his careful
selection of the 126 illustrations contained in 38 full page
engraved plates, accompanied by technically precise explanations
that any skilled carpenter could follow and learn from, that proved
to be the deciding factor in the popularity of CARPENTRY MADE EASY.
