Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Cabinetwork: For Manual Training Classes The aim of this work is to make clear, through definite directions for making the articles illustrated, the general principles of furniture construction, so that the pupil may apply them in making other articles from designs found in trade journals and elsewhere. Although this book is the result of a teachers experience in manual-training schools, yet it will also be helpful for self-instruction in the home shop. Knowledge of the correct use of ordinary woodworking bench tools must be gained before any attempt is made in the construction of furniture. Such knowledge is imparted in the author's earlier volume, "Elementary Woodwork." Elementary Cabinetwork is not to be used merely as a reference book at the instructors desk, but is designed as an aid to study and is to be placed in the hands of each student. The instructor should see that the projects to be made by each pupil are of such a type as will demand a systematic study of the text. Though designing and cabinetmaking are different subjects, yet the peculiar arrangement of the text, the variety of designs presented, and the suggestions for new forms and combinations will be found to teach, in the most effective way, the elements of furniture designing.
