"Woodworking and carpentry deal with the activity of making or repairing things that are made from wood. People who work with wood are called carpenters. The work of carpentry involves different activities such as cutting, shaping, joining wood pieces and installing wood-based structures in buildings and other structures. Carpenters also make wooden components of roofs, walls, floors, frames, and various types of fixed and freestanding furniture. It is an important part of construction. Becoming a master carpenter is subject to factors such as practice, years of experiences, and the number of projects handled. However, for a person aspiring to become a professional carpenter, it is essential to gain the basic knowledge of wood work, framing different tools, and wood finishing and treatments. This guide includes a detailed coverage of all these topics. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book." -- Provided by publisher.
