About this book
Carpentry for Boys is by J. S. Zerbe, M.E. The title page describes it as written in simple language, with chapters on drawing, laying out work, designing and architecture, and 250 original illustrations. The first chapters are Tools and Their Uses and How to Grind and Sharpen Tools.
The list of illustrations names steps in making a table: laying out a table leg, scribing the mortise line, finishing the tenon and the drawer. It goes on to the bevel joint, miter joint, picture frame joint and dovetails. Another passage explains why a capital on a column must be taller than the base and smaller in diameter, and takes a plain cabinet as an example of applying moldings. A list of definitions includes perspective, pivot and pitch.
