Copyrights 1923, 1939, 1951. One of the classic Audels Guides issued for carpenters, joiners, builders, and mechanics, this volume covers house and roof framing, laying out, foundations, and framing details, combining precise technical language with over a thousand diagrams, cross-sections, and 'right way / wrong way' schematics. Includes practical instructions on balloon-frame versus full-frame construction, concrete forms, and timber framing techniques, as well as a wealth of period advertisements for Audels' mechanical handbooks. A front epigraph from John Ruskin opens the book: 'When we build, let us think that we build forever' - encapsulating the series' ethos of craftsmanship and permanence. Condition: Very Good. Clean and tight with bright gilt lettering and ruled hammer-and-sun design to black cloth boards. Minor rubbing to spine ends, light toning to paper; binding strong and square.
