LIPPINCOTT COMPANY ATTHEWASHINGTONSQUARE PRESS PHILADELPHIA, V.8.A. ^^-^^//7 *i e FOREWORD <2 oilTT^HE principal aim of this Volume is to provide the A woodworker with full information as to the uses, and clear practical directions as to the making, of every joint he may at any time be likely to encounter. Those of us whose occupation or recreation is wood- working are familiar with numerous joints which we make andusein ourownway. It ispossible, however, that there are many which we do not make well, not because we lack skill or care, but because we are unfamiliar with some simple rule which governs either the setting out or the method of using the tool whilst ; probably there are many others which might suit our purpose better, but which we neglect because their existence has never occurred to us. To be successful in woodwork construction the — possession of two secrets is essential to know the right joint to use, and to know how to make that joint in the right way. The woodwork structure or the piece of cabinet-work that endures is the one on which skilful hands have combined to carry out what the constructive mind planned. And it is just here that the present Volume will help, not alone the beginner who wishes preliminary instruction, but also the expert who desires guidance over ground hitherto unexplored by him. — The Table of Contents and more particularly the — exhaustive Index at the end of Volume will show that practically every joint in cabinet-work and ordinary joinery is dealt with. In the case of the Bridle Joint, the HalvedJoint, the Mortise and Tenon FOREWORD Joint, and the Dovetail Joint, the actual tool opera- — tions setting out—, gauging, marking, sawing, chisel- ling, paring, etc. are fully explained and the fact ; that nearly sixty illustrations are devoted to the subject of Dovetailing is but one indication cf the care which has been taken in making the directions clear and complete. As the methods of working are almost similar in the case of other joints, it has not of course been deemed necessary to repeat these detailed instructions in every chapter. In the preparation of the Volume the Publishers have secured the services of Mr. William Fairham, by whom most of the chapters have been written and illustrated. Although intended for the practical man, and not professing to be a graded course of " educational woodwork," the Volume is one which Manual Training Instructors will find of the greatest value in conducting woodwork classes. No book hitherto published contains such a variety of illustra- tions of joints, almost all of which will form suitable exercises of practical educational importance in a Manual Training course. In conjunction with the other Volumes in The Woodworker Series {" Details of Cabinet Construction," " Staining and Polishing," etc.), this Volume, it is hoped, will 'leave the woodworker in possession of a store of information which, associated with his own prac—tical knowledge an—d skilled experience, will enable him if he so pleases to reach to the highest and most advanced branches of his craft.
