EDITORIAL FOREWORD

To be successful in woodwork construction the possession of two secrets is essential—to know the right joint
to use, and to know how to make that joint in the right way. The woodwork structure or the piece of
cabinet-work that endures is the one on which skilful hands have combined to carry out what the constructive
mind planned. And it is just here that the present Volume will help, not alone the beginner who wishes
preliminary instruction, but also the expert who desires guidance over ground hitherto unexplored by him.

In the preparation of this new edition the Publishers have secured the services of Mr. William Fairham, by
whom the chapters have been carefully revised and re-illustrated. Although intended for the practical man,
and not professing to be a graded course of "educational woodwork," the Volume is one which Handicraft
Instructors will find of the greatest value in conducting woodwork classes. No book hitherto published
contains such a variety of illustrations of joints, almost all of which will form suitable exercises of practical
educational importance in a woodworking course.
