Excerpt from Carpentry for Boys Elementary Woodwork a Series of Lessons, Designed to Give Fundamental Instruction in Use of All the Principal Tools Needed, in Carpentry and Joinery
The title given to this book was chosen because of the purpose to present fundamental exercises in a simple form for the use of beginners. Effort has been made to detail operations minutely, hoping to be of service to novices, though well aware that no book can be a substitute for an efficient instructor. The arrangement is from the easy to the difficult by successive steps, and is designed to give boys of twelve years and upward primary command of the use of a set comprising the principal wood-working tools. The smaller planes and saws are chiefly used. Other tools are of standard size. Small pieces of wood are used, since elementary instruction can be better given thereby. The different kinds of naildriving, and the use of gauge and try-square, are first taught on boards prepared by machinery. The ability to use each tool should be mastered before undertaking the study of another.
The lessons described have been given to the ninth, or senior, grammar grade of the public schools at Springfield, Mass., since the organization of the manual training-school at that place in 1886, classes of twelve to nineteen receiving one lesson per week of one and one-half hours" duration, and commencing with September, 1892, the first half of them are now given to the eighth grade, classes receiving one lesson each fortnight.
