Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Carpentry and Building: Giving Methods of Obtaining the Various Cuts in Carpentry
Fourteen years ago the modern carpenters' com panion and builders' guide was issued, and has since met with a sale of ten thousand copies; which, consider ing the fact that it has been advertised but very little indeed, shows that it met a want. Some complaint has been made that the illustrations did not always come opposite the descriptions, and many have expressed a de sire for a much larger number of floor plans of modern residences, accompanied, by elevations or perspectives to show the general style of exterior finish; others wanted complete framing plans and specifications.
