Finally back in print, Carpentry & Joinery, first published in
1907, is the bible of finish carpentry from a golden era of
architectural woodworking. Every aspect of joinery is covered in
this book, with more than 1800 engravings and twelve spectacular
plates to illustrate the topics. This incredibly comprehensive
volume contains chapters on timber; joints; floors; partitions;
windows; doors; moldings; tools and more. Each subject is explored,
illustrated, and examined first in the simple case and then in
fancier and fancier permutations. This is the best instruction ever
written that explains the details of both simple and fancy late
Victorian architectural woodworking. Whether you are a joiner,
restorer, or architect, you will be amazed at the level of
practical information, clarity of explanation, and continued
utility of this book. Certain subjects which are commonly ignored
such as the use of joiner s rods are covered in great detail along
with detailed instructions for layout all the various constructions
in the book. Because this is such an important book we wanted an
expert opinion to put the book in the context of its time. In a new
introduction master housewright Roy Underhill compares the
instruction in the book with a first hand account of an early 20th
century joiner. "We again have the voices of first rate masters at
our sides." - Roy Underhill, from his Introduction The original
book contained 12 color plates which, sadly, we could not afford to
reproduce in color. However we are making a PDF of the color plates
available for download http:

5/8" 567 pages plus 12 plates.
Superb guide to every aspect of the craft: necessary tools and appliances, esthetics of wood carving, comprehensive history of wood carving design, and of course, clear, precise instructions on every technique. Index.
