This is a continuation of Mr. Hodgson's first volume on Modern Carpentry and is intended to carry the student to a higher plane than is reached by the first volume. The first volume of this series
may be considered as the alphabet of the science of carpentry and joinery, while the present volume leads the student into the intricacies of the art and shows how certain difficult problems may be solved with a minimum of labor. Every progressive workman—and especially those who have purchased the first volume of this series-cannot afford to be without this volume, as it contains so many things necessary the advanced workman should know, and that is likely to crop up at any time during his daily labors. The work is well illustrated with over 100 diagrams, sketches and scale drawings which are fully described and explained in the text. Many puzzling working problems are shown, described and solved. This is truly a valuable aid and assistant for the progressive workman.
