Stair-Building and the Steel Square

“Stair-Building and the Steel Square:A Manual of Practical Instruction in the Art of Stair-Building and Hand-Railing, and the Manifold Uses of the Steel Square” by Fred T. Hodgson
Considered by many craftsmen as a necessary part of one's education in woodworking and carpentry, Hodgson manages to captivate audiences decades after his work was first published. The skill and passion felt by Hodgson for his craft is palpable and has made this book not just a piece of learning material, but also a piece of entertainment for artisans young and old alike.
