Lucius D. Gould Carpenter's and Builder's Assistant, and Wood Worker's Guide

Annotation

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. Together with these rules, the author also presents tables of the weight and cohesive strength of the different materials used in the construction of buildings as well as the weight required to crush said materials, with a treatise on the adhesion of nails, screws, iron pins and glue. Also an easy system of stair railing for straight and platform stairs, which will enable' carpenters to finish and complete a dwelling without the assistance of a professional stair builder. And to all this is added a practical and mathematical demonstra tion of finding the circumference and squaring the circle when the diameter is given.
