Mark, glad you're enjoying it.:o) Jeremy, that's awesome! There's so much great info in the book. I also forgot to mention that the much debated secret to the nib is finally revealed! (Just kidding, people. Sorry.that was mean.) Bob, you're right.
There are things about shop practices and apprentices' activities that I've never read elsewhere. Are you writing a review?
I'm enjoying reading everyone's take on the book. We all seem to be attracted to different aspects.
Dyami, Joel is a wealth of information for sure and I'd love to stop by to see him someday. He's only about 4 hours from me. Bob, my partner would have a big gigglefest over that. She can make anything woodworking-related seem naughty. Don't even try to talk to her about crotchwood. Jerm, I wish there were a program like they have in England (and other countires) to help preserve handcrafts. It's important for kids to learn to work with their hands.
And they still like it-I saw that first-hand at the WIA conference at Valley Forge. Wesley, that's a good question. We can do that on an individual basis, but there is an organization to help kids learn woodworking: You are correct about the phrase I carved into my tool cabinet.; ) I wrote about it in a February 14, 2008 blog post. John, your apprentice is a lucky girl! Rob, you have a good point!
Joel does mention some of the hardships in his write up-workers having to pay for materials if they botch a job, for instance. The story itself is written in a charming way.
Probably because they were trying to paint a nice picture for young people who might be considering a job in the woodworking trade. Auguste, excellent question. I subscribe to the motto: If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. So, had I not liked the book, I would not have written a review.
I saw the book mentioned in the subject line mentioned on a recent episode of Roy Underhill's Woodright's Shop. Following up on it, I noticed that Christopher Schwarz has written an updated version (including up to date terminology, cut lists, SketchUp drawings, etc.) which is being sold for $34. BTW, it was written as a fiction rather than non-fiction book. As the book is over 150 years old, I thought I'd be able to locate a copy of the original online somewhere-I didn't have any luck locating it though.
Anyone seen it around? Bill RicodJour 13/2/2011, 14:14 น. I also searched all around the Net, including Amazon, ABE and Alibris- No go. BUT one of my volunteer things is Friends of the Library in Tucson. Who have books listed for sale on line. Will check next time I am down there. Warning, since there are no other copies listed for sale on line, our group will list it for 99.00.
Believe it or not we sell a fair number of rare book for that price. Another thought- since it is a book out of Merry Old England, you might want to search On line book store in England.

RE: the updated version, here's a partial writeup. Note the first 8 words: 'Original copies of the book are extremely rare and Christopher Schwarz (editor of Popular Woodworking and Woodworking Magazine) and I decided to reprint the book with a lot of added detail.
We've reprinted 'The Joiner and Cabinet Maker,' unabridged and unaltered. I have added footnotes on the original text to try to put the book into historical context and explain a little about a joiner's life in 1839. Chris has built the three projects in the book and puts them into a modern context with complete construction drawings and cutting lists. Chris also discusses the hand-tool methods that have arisen since this book was originally published.' Sounds like a great book.
As the book is over 150 years old, I thought I'd be able to locate a copy of the original online somewhere-I didn't have any luck locating it though. Anyone seen it around? But it says that the original is intact inside the new version. (see above) - Remember, in an emergency, dial 1911.

Larry, I ordered Lew's book by Bingham, 'Boat Joinery and Cabinetmaking' yesterday, along with a face shield ($14 version): I'm going to hold off on the $350 model with a fan that you suggested for the time being as well as the 'deep-sea' model that was proposed.
I'll add 'The Joiner and the Cabinet Maker' to my, 'watch list'. BTW, if you want to really learn how to slow down your work, then you have to read Krenov's 'A Cabinet Maker's Notebook' (just finished that one). It will have you almost talking to the wood (and I'm not exaggerating too much.).: ) BTW, That is not a review. I picked up 'Cabinetmaking and Millwork' from the library yesterday. I always have some book going, usually a couple, even if I only read a few pages some days. It doesn't sound like much, but even over a month or two it adds up pretty fast.
Temperatures are improving. I'm looking forward to getting back to 'work'!: ) Bill Steve 13/2/2011, 22:04 น.

My review (as a book designer): Lots of good information in this book, but it's very difficult to read. The design and typography is poor. But it's a gem, compared to 'The Fine Art of Cabinetmaking.' Photo reproduction is wildly varied is both - some are clear and detailed, but there are too many unidentifiiable black blobs. Bill 13/2/2011, 22:45 น.

My review (as a book designer): Lots of good information in this bookbut it's very difficult to read. The main point of the book seems (to me) to really open up ones eyes in an artistic way to the details. And lest you think he might tell you just how to go about doing that-it's exactly the opposite. To paraphrase one sentence in the book: 'You've either got it or you don't (the ability)'.
The book does, however, invite the student to try. If you don't just chew on the cover, it may change the way you look at a piece of wood. Given a chance, it will surely slow you down (while you reflect)!; ) Krenov had customers willing to pay for quality.
Therein lies the rub for those trying to make a living as such a wood worker (today). The design and typography is poor. But it's a gem, compared to 'The Fine Art of Cabinetmaking.'

I'm not ashamed to say that I fondle wood.
It's meant to be touched and my favorite finish, Waterlox, is a hand-rubbed finish, so it works out well. Experience is a good teacher, but she send in terrific bills. Minna Thomas Antrim RonB 14/2/2011, 10:45 น.
