Amateur Carpenter

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. OF all branches of manual training there is none more generally useful than carpentry. A knowl edge of how to use carpenter's tools properly and how to make simple articles from lumber will never come amiss, and there is scarcely a man, woman or boy who at one time or another has not had occasion to use some sort of carpenter's tool. It may seem a very simple matter to use a saw, hammer, screw-driver or other similar tool, but nine times out of ten the amateur does not use such tools properly.
