EDITORIAL FOREWORD
To be successful in woodwork construction the possession of two secrets is essential—to knowthe 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 havecombined to carry out what the constructive mind planned. And it is just here that the presentVolume will help, not alone the beginner who wishes preliminary instruction, but also the expertwho desires guidance over ground hitherto unexplored by him.In the preparation of this new edition the Publishers have secured the services of Mr. WilliamFairham, by whom the chapters have been carefully revised and re-illustrated. Although intendedfor the practical man, and not professing to be a graded course of "educational woodwork," theVolume is one which Handicraft Instructors will find of the greatest value in conductingwoodwork 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 awoodworking course.J. C. S. B.
