About this title

Synopsis:

A detailed and highly illustrated, practical guide to the techniques in first and second-fixing carpentry in domestic construction. Introductory chapters cover topics such as tools required, their care and proper use, and how to interpret detailed drawings. The book then deals with a wide range of first-fixing operations including fixing floor joists, flooring, door frames and linings, windows (uPVC and wooden), stairs and roofs. Chapters on second fixing include fixing skirting and architrave, balustrades, hanging doors, and fitting locks and door furniture. Each chapter covers the subject in great detail with step-by-step illustrations and text to provide the reader with a complete picture of the sequence of work required to carry out each task.

Review:

"... indispensable to students ... the book is laid out very neatly ... an excellent glossary of terms."
