Reseña del editor

My purpose in writing this book will be apparent from its great usefulness, which, I am quite sure, will be conceded by intelligent and thoughtful readers. For many years I have been employed in railroad and construction shops and have observed that the principles of pattern making were less understood than any other branch of wood work. I have frequently noticed, in railroad shops especially, that the workmen who could make a pattern commanded a better position and were in greater demand than those who could not. In large shops from one to a great many pattern makers are regularly employed, and work is systematically arranged; but in the smaller shops it is very important to have a workman in the cabinet or carpenter shop who is competent to make a correct pattern and who may be called upon at any time to perform this duty, thereby being instrumental in saving much money for his employers.
