Including instructions for designing and practical step-by-step directions, this timeless volume will be of utility to DIY enthusiasts and those with an interest in woodwork in general. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 - 1916) was an Australian engineer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many books on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by this author include: "e;Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of Turning"e; (1881), "e;The Wrath-Jobber's Handy Book"e; (1887), and "e;Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them"e; (1887). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
