Bamboo Work

First published in 1901, this book contains a comprehensive guide to making various things out of bamboo, including tables, chairs, cabinets, and more. "e;Bamboo Work"e; is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in woodwork and hand making furniture, and it would make for a great addition to DIY collections. Contents include: "e;Bamboo: It's Sources and Uses"e;, "e;How to Work Bamboo"e;, "e;Bamboo Tables"e;, "e;Bamboo Chairs and Seats"e;, "e;Bamboo Hall Racks and Stands"e;, "e;Bamboo Music Rack"e;, "e;Bamboo Cabinets and Bookcases"e; "e;Bamboo Window Blinds"e;, "e;Miscellaneous Articles of Bamboo"e;, etc. 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.
