"Constructive Carpentry" will appeal to those with a practical interest in carpentry and construction, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. "Masonry Foundations", "Forms of Construction", "Mill Construction", The Carpenter's Steel Square, Carpenter's Geometry", "Roof Construction", "Boarding In", "Roof Coverings", "Plastering", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on wood working.
