About this title

Synopsis

This book, the second in a four-volume series designed to give carpenters, builders, do-it-yourselfers, and students a solid knowledge of carpentry, not only concentrates on a number of basic areas but also considers some advanced building projects. A good portion of the book is devoted to mathematics needed by the carpenter, both the theoretical and the everyday math necessary for business computations. A section on surveying is as basic as we could make it, yet it included the techniques a surveyor must have and a consideration of the latest equipment. There is also information on reading plans and on specifications are prepared when a structure is being built. For the architect, capenter, and builder there is a study of the effects of stresses on various wood and steel members. It is one thing to build a building- it is another to ensure that it is standing. All in all, the volume should be useful both to the specialist and to those seeking basic information.
