Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American House Carpenters' and Joiners' Assistant: Being a New and Easy System of Lines, Founded on Geometrical Principles, for Cutting Every Description of Joints, and for Framing the Most Difficult Roofs; To Which Is Added, a Complete Treatise on Mathematical Instruments The object of this work is to furnish House Carpenters with the practical directions necessary to find the lines for cutting every description of joint, as well as for framing the most dificult roofs, according to a new and easy system, founded on accurate geometrical principles. For more than twenty years, the author has applied the rules here laid down, to the framing and connecting of timbers; to the framing and constructing of roofs; to the miterin g of planes and irregular surfaces at any angle; to the mitering of circles, and to finding the joints in every variety of splayed work; also to the elevations of the frame work of roofs, and to ascertaining the relative sizes required to support a given weight. Together with these rules, the author also presents tables of the weight and cohesive strength of the different materials used in the construction of buildings, as well as the weight required to crush said materials. And to all this is added a complete treatise on mathematical instruments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
