Title: old book Post by liversage on Feb 25th, 2009, 5:19pm hopefully someone can help me on this one . about 45 years ago when i was a young lad i gave my uncle a book , mainly because he did a lot of DIY , but his profession was painter and decorator . the book was about A5 in size 2 to 3 inches in depth and the colour of the cover was pink and it was mainly a book for carpenters . being the age i was i thought it would be more useful to him rather than me . the description i believe is right but you know how the memory is [smiley=confused.gif]waiting in anticipation ;) thank you |

Title: Re: old book Post by WOLF on Feb 27th, 2009, 12:41am it was possibly "Carpenters for beginners, " from the wood workers series of books, by "Evans Bros, of London"! they were all approx A5 size, or the Imperial equivalent back then.. |

Title: Re: old book Post by Joiner on Mar 2nd, 2009, 9:31pm From your description it could have been 'Modern Practical Joinery' by George Ellis. First published in 1902 it's still in print and available from Amazon. It's a classic and I still use his designs and a lot of his methods. It's A5, 'orangey' cover, and about 2" thick. Should be on every wood workers shelf! |
