BOOKS _for_ BOYS
Especially Helpful for the Use of Boys in their Home Shops
BEGINNING WOODWORK, At Home and in School.
_By Clinton S. VanDeusen._ A full and clear description in detail of the fundamental processes of elementary benchwork in wood. This description is given thru directions for making a few simple, useful articles, suitable either for school or home problems. The book contains more than one hundred sketches and ten working drawings. Price, $1.00.
MANUAL TRAINING TOYS, for the Boys’ Workshop.
_By Harris W. Moore._ This book contains a collection of working drawings illustrating forty-two projects, overflowing with “boy” interest. It is a popular boy’s book that is truly educational. The projects are all new in the manual training shop. The text gives instructions for making each project and treats of tools and tool processes. Price, $1.00.
_The_ CONSTRUCTION _and_ FLYING _of_ KITES.
_By Charles M. Miller._ A book of unusual interest to the boy. It contains seven full-page plates of drawings of kites and fifteen figures--over forty kites shown. Details of construction are given and a kite tournament is described. Full of interesting suggestions. Price, 20 cents.
ESSENTIALS _of_ WOODWORKING.
_By Ira S. Griffith._ A textbook written especially for the use of grammar and high school students. A clear and comprehensive treatment of woodworking tools, materials, and processes, to supplement, but not to take the place of the instruction given by the teacher. The book does not contain a course of models; it may be used with any course. It is illustrated with photographs and numerous pen drawings. Price, $1.00.
The “Problems Series” of Working Drawings, Good for Either Home or School Use
PROJECTS _for_ BEGINNING WOODWORK _and_ MECHANICAL DRAWING.
_By Ira S. Griffith._ A work book for the use of students in grammar grade classes. It consists of working drawings and working directions. The projects are such as have proven of exceptional service where woodworking and mechanical drawing are taught in a thoro, systematic manner in the seventh and eighth grades. The aim has been to provide successful rather than unique problems. The fifty projects in the book have been selected and organized with the constant aim of securing the highest educational results. The book is especially suited for use in connection with “Essentials of Woodworking” by the same author. Price, 75 cents.
PROBLEMS _in_ WOODWORKING.
_By M. W. Murray._ A convenient collection of good problems consisting of forty plates bound in board covers with brass fasteners. Each plate is a working drawing, or problem in benchwork that has been successfully worked out by boys in one of the grades from seven to nine inclusive. Price, 75 cents.
ADVANCED PROJECTS _in_ WOODWORK.
_By Ira S. Griffith._ This book is similar to “Projects for Beginning Woodwork and Mechanical Drawing,” but is suited to high school needs. It consists of fifty plates of problems and accompanying notes. It is essentially a collection of problems in furniture making selected or designed with reference to school use. On the plate with each working drawing is a good perspective sketch of the completed object. In draftsmanship and refinement of design these problems are of superior quality. It is in every respect an excellent collection. Price, $1.00.
PROBLEMS _in_ FURNITURE MAKING.
_By Fred D. Crawshaw._ This book, revised and enlarged, consists of 43 full-page plates of working drawings suitable for use in grammar and high schools and 36 pages of text, including chapters on design, construction and finishes, and notes on the problems. Each project is shown in its completed form by a perspective sketch. Loose leaf, bound in board covers with brass fasteners. Price, $1.00.
PROBLEMS _in_ WOOD-TURNING.
_By Fred D. Crawshaw._ In the first place this is a book of problems--25 plates covering spindle, face-plate, and chuck turning. In the second place it is a textbook on the science and art of wood-turning illustrated by fifty pen sketches. It gives the mathematical basis for the cuts used in turning. In the third place it is a helpful discussion of the principles of design as applied to objects turned in wood. It is a clear, practical and suggestive book on wood-turning. Price, 80 cents.
PROBLEMS _in_ MECHANICAL DRAWING.
_By Charles A. Bennett._ With drawings made by Fred D. Crawshaw. This book consists of 80 plates and a few explanatory notes, and is bound in board covers with brass fasteners. Its purpose is to furnish teachers of classes beginning mechanical drawing with a large number of simple, practical problems. These have been selected with reference to the formation of good habits in technique, the interest of the pupils, and the subjects generally included in a grammar and first-year high school course. Each problem given is unsolved and therefore in proper form to hand to the pupil for solution. Price, $1.00.
