Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in the late 19th century, is a valuable resource for carpenters and builders. It offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and using the steel square, a tool that was fundamental to carpentry in that era. The author, a carpenter himself, recognized the importance of mathematical knowledge in the craft and dedicated a significant portion of the book to explaining the geometry of carpentry. The text delves into the intricate details of roof framing, including the calculation of rafters, hips, and valleys, using diagrams and tables that make complex geometric concepts accessible to all. The book's practical approach extends to estimating material and labor costs, providing the reader with a system for calculating accurate bids and managing building projects efficiently. The insights offered in this book, both on the use of the steel square and on the economics of construction, served as invaluable tools for carpenters and contractors of the time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
