Third 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, this book goes on to cover a wide range of first-fixing
operations prior to plastering and second-fixing operations after plastering. Each chapter covers the subject in great detail with step-by-step
illustrations and text.
Now in full colour, this edition has been updated throughout to take recent changes to the Building Regulations
into account. The book is fully up to date with current industry best practice and technological developments, and a new chapter has
been incorporated to address Sharpening Traditional Saws.
The breadth of coverage and easily accessible ?how-to' approach makes
this text an ideal resource for the 2000 apprentices per year taking NVQs and 1500 following Construction Awards within the Wood
Occupations (City & Guilds / Constructionskills). The technical detail and practical focus ensures that this book will be a vital
purchase for these students, and an essential reference for any experienced carpenter or joiner.
