Modern Carpentry
A PRACTICAL MANUAL
FOR CARPENTERS AND WOOD WORKERS GENERALLY
By Fred T. Hodgson, Architect, Editor of the National Builder, Practical Carpentry, Steel Square and Its Uses, etc., etc.
A new, complete guide, containing hundreds of quick methods for performing work in carpentry, joining and general wood-work. Like all of Mr. Hodgson’s works, it is written in a simple, every-day style, and does not bewilder the working-man with long mathematical formulas or abstract theories. The illustrations, of which there are many, are explanatory, so that any one who can read plain English will be able to understand them easily and to follow the work in hand without difficulty.
The book contains methods of laying roofs, rafters, stairs, floors, hoppers, bevels, joining mouldings, mitering, coping, plain hand-railing, circular work, splayed work, and many other things the carpenter wants to know to help him in his every day vocation. It is the most complete and very latest work published, being thorough, practical and reliable. One which no carpenter can afford to be without.
The work is printed from new, large type plates on a superior quality of cream wove paper, durably bound in English cloth.
