From the Introduction Like a lot of baby boomers, I grew up in a house with a workbench in the basement and a pegboard full of carpentry tools hanging behind it. My father had been raised on a farm during the Depression, and even though he became a successful surgeon, he would no more live in a house without tools than he would drive a car without a flashlight in the glove box. I also went to a public school that taught industrial arts. My mother still uses the walnut doorstop shaped like a Scottie dog that I made when I was 12. My early exposure to the satisfaction of building things led me to spend the first ten years of my professional life working as a carpenter. To this day, it's still how I define myself. Ask me what I do, and I'll say I'm an editor. But ask me who I am, and I'll say I'm a carpenter. Unfortunately there are fewer homes today with workbenches in the basement and fewer fathers who can teach their kids how to build things. That's where this book can help. Collected here are 37 articles from past issues of Fine Homebuilding magazine. Written by professional carpenters from all over the country, these articles represent an apprenticeship in the trade. Whether you're fixing up your own house on the weekends or earning a living building homes for other people, you'll find useful advice and hard-won tips in this book. Heck, you'll even learn how to build a set of shelves to put it on. - Kevin Ireton, editor, Fine Homebuilding Table of Contents Framing (Floors, Ceilings, Walls, Roofs). Finish Carpentry.
