Originally published in 1902, this is a reprint of the 1917 edition. At the time of publication it was described "A new and complete guide containing hundreds of quick methods for performing work in carpentry, joining and general woodwork, written in a simple, every-day style that does not bewilder the workingman, illustrated with hundreds of diagrams which are especially made so that anyone can follow them without difficulty." For anyone doing traditional carpentry, that description is equally valid today. Fred T. Hodgson was an architect, editor of the National Builder, and author of other books on construction techniques.
