Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wood-Working for Beginners, Vol. 1: A Workshop for Amateurs
It is not an attempt to teach the arts of architecture, carpentry, cabinet-making, or boat-building. Although not intended primarily to impart skill in the use of tools (some thing which can only be acquired from experience and oh servation and cannot be taught by any book), still no one can go through the processes indicated without gaining at least some slight degree of manual skill as well as a fund of practical information and experience.
