This is the first part of two books that every woodworker should own. It shows techniques that were taught 100 years ago, that are sadly not taught in trades anymore. These skills were needed a century ago, and were used on a daily basis by cabinetmakers.
Thanks to Lost Art Press, these two editions have been brought back, together they total 888 pages with over 2000 images and drawings.
Whether you are a novice, or experienced craftsman, this is the go-to reference book. Charles H. Hayward was a trained cabinetmaker, and excelled also as an illustrator, writer and editor.
