Excerpt from Hints for Carpenters: A Collection of Useful Practical Hints, Ideas, Wrinkles and Suggestions, Giving Directions for Making Various Tools and Appliances That Will Lessen the Work of the Carpenter and Joiner
The object of this book is to bring together in a convenient form, for easy reference, some of the best practical hints and schemes of various practical men. Not a mere one-man or one-idea book, but a book really made by various practical men and one that will be very useful to the old experienced carpenter, as well as to the young beginner.
All of the matter in this book was published in The Practical Carpenter, and it was at the suggestion of the editor, Mr. Charles G. Peker, that the task of selecting, arranging and editing the suitable matter was undertaken by me.
The task, however, was a very pleasant one, with the knowledge that the information here given will make the work of the carpenter easier and better.
