Description
Carpentry and Joinery Illustrated is a comprehensive guide to finish carpentry from a bygone era of architectural woodworking. First published in 1907, this book covers every aspect of joinery, with over 1,800 engravings and 12 spectacular plates to illustrate its topics.
Written for joiners, restorers, and architects, the book explores each subject in detail, from simple cases to fancier permutations. It provides practical information on timber, joints, floors, partitions, windows, doors, moldings, tools, and more. The level of clarity and utility of this book is remarkable, making it an invaluable resource for anyone working with wood.
A new introduction by master housewright Roy Underhill sets the book in its historical context, providing a unique perspective on its significance. A PDF of the original color plates is also available for download, allowing readers to appreciate the full range of illustrations.
