This English-language guide, spanning 128 pages, delves into the core principles of bricklaying, covering essential topics such as arch drawing, cutting, setting, pointing, and material mixing. It is designed to serve both young beginners entering the field and experienced bricklayers seeking to expand their knowledge into higher branches of the craft, offering insights into the foundational techniques of this trade.
The purpose of this manual is to provide comprehensive guidance on bricklaying practices. It serves as a detailed resource for understanding and executing various aspects of the trade, from fundamental principles to advanced techniques. By offering clear instructions and referencing original artwork, this guide aims to equip individuals with the necessary knowledge to perform bricklaying tasks effectively and with a high degree of proficiency, ensuring a thorough understanding of the subject matter.
Originally published in 1890: The object of this little work is to assist young beginners and others who, though in the trade many years, have not had the opportunity of seeing so much of the higher branches of practice as they might desire. I also trust it will not be thought unworthy the notice of the more skilled mechanic. I have no hesitation in saying the methods here employed in drawing and cutting arches , also in mixing the materials and executing the different sorts of pointing, are practically the best, and those generally adopted by the most experienced workmen.....Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
