Hints for Carpenters

By Editor

"Hints for Carpenters." Compiled and edited by Albert Fair. Illustrated by 100 engravings. Price, 50 cents. Industrial Book Company, New York.
The worth of this book is not to be measured by its size, altho it has about 150 pages, with a copious index. Its object is to bring together in a convenient form for easy reference some of the best practical hints of practical men. It isn't a one-man book, nor a one-idea book; but a book made by various experienced men, so that it will be useful not only to the young beginner, but to the old and skilful carpenter as well.
What makes it of more worth, it has been published before in the periodical The Practical Carpenter, and the very best has been selected, arranged, and edited in the form in which it now appears. For instance, we have some fine suggestions and directions on the care of tools, rust removers, marking tools, protecting the steel square, filing saws, the hand-saw and its uses, directions how to make a saw filing vise, sharpening of plane irons, convenient chapiters, something about nails and screws, glue, fitting doors, hanging doors, etc., etc., etc. We are sure that young carpenters would find it exceedingly educational and old carpenters convenient and helpful.
