Häftad bok med mjuka pärmar, mycket rikt illustrerad med 300 tydliga teckningar i sv/v. Faksimil av en 1800-tals amerikansk guide för gör-det-självare, lantbrukare och historiskt intresserade som vill lära sig traditionella byggnadstekniker gällande stängsel, grindar och broar, oftast utan krav på avancerade verktyg eller dyra material. First published in 1887, this is a timeless, practical guide to building long-lasting fences, gates, and bridges. The book is a classic manual for those wanting to build their own structures using the methods and tools of previous generations. The farmer, woodworker and author, George A. Martin, knows his subject, not only fence building but the farm and its requirements. He knows the stock: the unconfinable pig, the dexterous cow. He knows his materials, especially wood. He knows the value of work well done, done to last, and he aims to give value himself, in authorship as in the building of simple necessary structures. CONTENTS: Prefatory I.
