Les Goring's book covers all the detailed knowledge required for
carrying out first fixing carpentry - such as modern and
traditional roofing and fitting and fixing modern and traditional
floor joists on new-build sites before plastering or drylining of
walls and ceilings takes place - and second fixing carpentry - such
as fitting staircases, hanging doors, skirting and architraves and
kitchen units after dry-lined plastering has taken place and the
shell of the building is watertight. In the opening chapters, this
work also covers reading-of-drawings' knowledge, tools and
fixing-devices. This new edition, with over 500 coloured drawings
supporting its step-by-step approach, has been updated throughout
to take into account current industry practices and changes in the
UK's Building Regulations. Two new chapters have also been added,
covering the formwork carpentry for casting in situ, reinforced
concrete stairs and landings, and making and fixing different shelf
arrangements to correct spans. The breadth of coverage and clear
'how-to-do-it' text makes this book an essential
in-and-after-college resource for the 2000 apprentices per year
taking NVQs and the 1500 students following Construction Awards
within the Wood Occupations from the City & Guilds'
Construction Skills. The in-depth technical detail and practical
focus makes this book an essential purchase for all aspiring
woodworkers, craft teachers and construction lecturers - to either
read now and/or use as a future reference manual. It should also be
of value to general builders and DIY enthusiasts, whose carpentry
knowledge might (understandably) be sketchy in certain areas.
