Description
Manual of First and Second Fixing Carpentry by Les Goring provides comprehensive coverage of the detailed knowledge required for carrying out first fixing carpentry and second fixing carpentry on construction sites. The book covers essential topics such as modern and traditional roofing, floor joists, staircases, and kitchen units, as well as reading of drawings, tools, and fixing devices.
This updated edition features over 500 coloured drawings to support its step-by-step approach and has been revised to reflect current industry practices and changes in the UK's Building Regulations. Two new chapters have also been added, covering formwork carpentry for casting in situ, reinforced concrete stairs and landings, and making and fixing different shelf arrangements to correct spans.
With its in-depth technical detail and practical focus, this book is an essential resource for aspiring woodworkers, craft teachers, and construction lecturers, as well as general builders and DIY enthusiasts looking to improve their carpentry knowledge.
