Publisher: "So famous it's simply known as "Joyce" (after it's author,
Ernest Joyce), this is the woodworker's essential reference book that craftsmen have
been turning to for most of the 20th century and the most important book you will
ever own on furniture making. It's a classic that should be in every workshop
and the ultimate authority on:
- The characteristices and working properities of solid wood, veneers, manufactured
boards, plastics, and metals, and the best adhesives and abrasives to use on them
- All the equipment the well-prepared woodworker and draftsman needs
- Techniques for making dado, dovetail, dowel, miter, scarf, and other joints
- Advice on constructing furniture components- including carcasses, doors, legs,
and frames- and on restoration, repairs, and wood finishing
- Guidance on veneering, marquetry, and inlaying
And every technique, practice, and concept you'll ever use."
