CARPENTRY\n\nPART I  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe carpenter has always been a worker in wood and probablywill always be so,unless we are so foolish as to neglect the newerart of Forestry to such an extent that in the course of time we haveno wood wherein to work and with which to build and decorate ourhabitations.The building and the decoration of houses and otherstructures has always been the special contribution of the carpenterto the general welfare of the community,and this feature has dis-tinguished him from other woodworkers such as carriage builders,shipbuilders,coopers,and makers of various implements.Butwhereas the carpenter formerly did all the work connected with thebuilding or decoration of the structure,he now performs only a smallpart of it.At one time he was called upon to prepare the roughlumber for framing,erect the building,make the doors and windowstogether with their frames,and then make and put in place all theoutside and inside finish,even including the furniture.In thesedays,however,factories are doing a great deal of this work,such asthe manufacture of doors and window sash,interior finish,furniture,ete.,and the lumber which was formerly prepared by hand is nowsawed,cut,planed,molded,and even sandpapered by machinery,leaving for the carpenter the preparation of the framing of suchbuildings as are not large enough to be built of brick,stone,or steel,and the putting in place at the building of the exterior and interiorfinish which has previously been made ready so far as possible at thefactory.The old-time joiner has given way to the modern cabinetmaker or the factory woodworker,and his plane,saw,and chiselhave been replaced by electrically-driven machinery of the planingmill and the door factory.Nevertheless,the principles upon whichthe art of carpentry is based have not changed,and we still use the  \nCARPENTRY  \nformulas,and profit by the wisdom which has come down to us fromour fathers.  \nThe carpenter has always found at hand his material providedby Nature,needing only to be cut down and shaped to suit his pur-poses.It is easily worked,beautiful in texture,and capable of beingtreated with paints,oils,and varnishes in such a way as to preserveit and at the same time give it a pleasing appearance.So suitableis wood for purposes of interior decoration that now when othermaterials such as sheet metal are substituted for it on account oftheir greater durability or their superiority as fire resistants,greatpains are often taken to make these materials look like wood by theskillful use of paints and varnishes,and such good results have beenobtained along this line,and the grain of the various kinds of woodhas been so closely imitated,that one not accustomed to woodworkin a business way can hardly distinguish the real wood from theimitation.  \nA knowledge of the characteristics of this material which playsso important a part in our lives and which is so plentiful,especiallyin the more recently settled parts of the earth,is sure to prove ofadvantage to all,and such knowledge is an absolute necessity to thecarpenter,architect,or other user of wood.  \nUnlike many of the other materials used in building,wood haslife and has come into existence by a process known as growth,andthese two facts have a very important bearing on the use of woodin construction,as they affect both its physical characteristics andits action after it has been put in place in a building.In order,therefore,to be able to make use of wood intelligently,it is necessaryto know something about its mode of life,its method of growth,andthe way in which it will act after it has been cut away from the tree,killed,so far as ","cbCaif0kW9P9tb9R","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif0kW9P9tb9R","pdf",3159326,64,"English","#
