Second Edition
By
Les Goring, Formerly Senior Lecturer in Wood Trades, Hastings College, UK
Description
Beginning with the fundamentals of carpentry work within a domestic construction setting (tools required, their care and proper use, interpretation
of technical drawings) the book goes on to cover a wide range of first-fixing operations (i.e. those tasks that are to be completed prior
to plastering work takes place on site). The various second fixing tasks are then also outlined in detail. Each chapter covers the
subject in great detail with step-by-step illustrations and text, to provide the reader with a complete picture of the sequence of work
required to carry out each job.
The second edition has been updated throughout to take into account recent changes to the Building Regulations,
with new material addressing Working at Height Regulations, Stairs, and Glass & Glazing (including the use of safety glass). New topics
are covered which ensure this book is fully up to date with current industry best practice and technological developments, and new chapters
have been incorporated to address Site Levelling & Setting Out, and Designing and Installing Fitted Kitchens.
The breadth of coverage
and easily accessible ?how-to' approach makes this text an ideal resource for apprentices following NVQs and Construction Awards within
the Wood Occupations (City & Guilds / CITB). The technical detail and practical focus ensures this book will be a vital purchase to
accompany these students into their professional lives, and will also prove an essential reference for any experienced carpenter or joiner.
Audience
Further education students: Construction Awards (Wood Occupations); Level 2 / 3 NVQs; GCSE, BTEC National and BTEC Higher National.
