"Waste of $'s"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Absolute rubbish, what “presenting 48 joints” actually means is, nice photos of 48 joints in the middle of a long winded book on the history of Japanese joinery. Don't bother, absolute waste of money if you're looking for a book on actual Japanese joints.

Description

This introduction of Japanese joinery delves into the history and development of Japanese carpentry, and it also reveals many secrets of Japanese joinery. It presents 48 joints, selected from among the several hundred known and used today. With clear isometric projections complementing the photographs, any carpenter can duplicate these bequests from the traditional Japanese carpenter. They can be applied to projects as large as the buildings for which most of them were originally devised or as small as a sewing box.

Author Biography:
