A New System of Hand-Railing: Cut Square to the Plank, Without the Aid of Falling Moulds; A New and Easy Method of Forming Hand-Rails (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book revolutionizes the art of hand-railing. It teaches the practical method for making wreaths for hand-rails, a method new in this country but widely used abroad. This book shows how to save considerable time and material while ensuring accuracy, as all wreaths whatever may be cut out square from the plank with square joints, and are so accurate that the rail may be cleaned up ready for polishing before it leaves the bench. It will enable carpenters and students to build rails over any kind of stair, no matter how many winders there may be or how they are arranged. The book starts with a comprehensive introduction to geometry, the science of quantities relating to space, which forms the basis of hand-railing. Seven complete examples are provided with ample illustrations and descriptive text. These examples will enable any carpenter or student to build a rail over any kind of stair, no matter how many winders there may be or how they are arranged.
