The Practical Builder: The Classic 18th-Century Handbook (Dover Architecture)

This 1774 guidebookÂ for English carpenters wasÂ one of the earliestÂ "do-it-yourself" manuals ever published.Â Designed for those who could not afford an architect's services, the book functioned as a source of construction techniques and design details. Employing elementary arithmetic and geometry, the annotated and meticulously rendered engravings depict cross-sections of chimney-pieces, ceilings, cornices, and other architectural details.
