Book description
Originally published in 1890: The object of this little work is to
assist young beginners and others who, though in the trade many years,
have not had the opportunity of seeing so much of the higher branches of
practice as they might desire. I also trust it will not be thought
unworthy the notice of the more skilled mechanic. I have no hesitation
in saying the methods here employed in drawing and cutting arches , also
in mixing the materials and executing the different sorts of pointing,
are practically the best, and those generally adopted by the most
experienced workmen.....Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and
artwork.
