By PAUL D. OTTERУчебное пособие для студента и механик, охватывающее проектирование, дизайн, строительство и отделку мебели.
Практически статьи, решения используемые при изготовлении мебели, использование оборудования, инструменты технология отделки и обивки и прочие решения.IT is gratifying to realize that the period in which the series of articles under the heading: "Cabinet Work for the Carpenter" occupied frequent space in the columns of "The Building Age, " has been noticeably the period in which the taste of the public has been pressed back into the good old mould from which so much of our enduring art was cast. To this subject and homage to the old masters of furniture building, deference is paid in the opening chapter, where a short review is attempted of that portion of the history of furniture showing examples best designed to inspire us for the work to be considered.
Much additional matter has been added to the original articles and all arranged in the form of a handbook in order to meet more general requirements under the title "Furniture for the Craftsman." In addition to the carpenter and the manual training student there is the day-fagged business man as well as many others who are likely to find refreshment from commercial and professional pressure in the increasing skill of doing things and in the joy of their accomplishment.
The subject matter is comprised in sixteen well-arranged and carefully illustrated chapters, one of which considers the essential tools and equipment necessary for doing the work, while others describe various kinds of furniture as well as bath room accessories. The concluding chapters are given up to finishing and upholstery. Not the least interesting portion of the work is that which deals with the furnishings for the porch and the grounds about the house.
