"To be successful in woodwork construction the possession of two secrets is essential - to know the right joint to use, and to know how to make that joint in the right way."Woodwork Joints: How They Are Set Out, How Made And Where Used; With Four Hundred Illustrations And Index; Revised Edition, by William Fairham, 1920, The Woodworker Series, Evans Bros., London, Publishers.
Early in the 20th Century, Evans Bros., London, England, engaged William Fairham to author and edit The Woodworker Series, books derived from The Woodworker journal. A practical woodworker trained in the late 19th Century skills of carpentry and woodworking, William Fairham later taught these skills to students in technical schools.
After William Fairham passed, Evans Bros. brought in Charles Hayward to edit The Woodworker Series to suit more modern interests. The traditional craftsperson of today will find the Fairham editions of The Woodworker Series to be valuable for their adherence and accuracy to late 19th Century carpentry and woodworking techniques.
Covering both the major and minor woodworking joints, William Fairham provides clear, concise and well illustrated instructions on when to use and how to make joints in Carpentry, Joinery and Cabinet-Making.
"...written for the practical man...", Woodwork Joints is an essential text for beginners, intermediate and experienced woodworkers who want to learn and improve hand tool skills.
