Practical, Scholarly, and Beautiful,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Circular Work in Carpentry and Joinery (Hardcover)
Such a cool book. Operating on the premise that Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture represent a high point in interior design and in carpentry in particular, the publishers have created a brilliant, annotated version of George Collins' book on circular carpentry work. The Collins book became a standard work, reprinted through the 19th and into the 20th century. But here we have a side-by-side format -- a facsimile of the original book accompanied by modern illustations and annotations. The result is somewhat interdisciplinary: a book about carpentry that has things to communicate about design, architecture and particularly the methods of communicating 3-D processes through a 2-D medium. Swoon.

Old school techniques for folks who want "old",
This review is from: Circular Work in Carpentry and Joinery (Paperback)
Anyone who does restoration or reproduction architectual woodworking needs to look at this book. It's a great reference for the old stuff seen with compound curves, curved and rounded doors, etc... A good shelf reference that will come in handy.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Circular Work in Carpentry and Joinery (Hardcover)
This book is a must for anyone doing circular and curved woodwork. It is a reperint of a text from the early 20th century. It is also the only book of it's type I've ever found.Went to this book a lot when I did Architectural Woodwork professionally.
