Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shop Work: Joinery, Cabinet-Making, Carpentry This book is the outgrowth of eighteen years of teaching in high schools and many more Spent in practical construction work, in wood and iron, before our affiliation with industrial school work: began. It consists of a compilation of such notes and lectures as we believe are important to the wood-worker. It is not intended in any way to sup plant any Of the work at the bench, but is designed to be used in connec tion with bench work to enable the student to approach his work more intelligently. The book is not designed as a self-instructor, but as a student's text to be used by the teacher, just as he would use a text in mathematics. To secure the best results in the use of any text, supple mentary work must be done, . And wood-working is no exception to the rule. The work presented in this text is so designed as to require two years, working two hours per day, in its completion, and is intended as a ready reference for the pupil and the teacher. It will be Observed that in this text cabinet-making follows joinery. It is not necessary that cabinet work Should be taken before carpentry. If the student so desires, he may take either cabinet - making or carpentry or both, after he has finished joinery. All joint exercises should be worked out by the teacher in class demonstrations.
