First published in first published in 1899, this book contains a classic guide to making a variety of different types of staircases for the home. The information contained within it was sourced from columns in the weekly journal “Building World”, having been consolidated into this concise handbook by the author. “Practical Staircase Joinery” is perfect for DIY enthusiasts and novice joiners alike. Contents include: “Introduction: Explanation of Terms”, “Simple Form of Staircase—Housed String Stair Measuring, Planning and Setting Out”, “Two-Flight Staircase”, “Staircase with Winders at Bottom”, “Staircase over an Oblique Plan”, “Geometrical Staircases”, etc. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 – 1916) was an Australian writer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many works on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by this author include: “Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of Turning” (1881), “The Wrath-Jobber's Handy Book” (1887), and “Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them” (1887). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
