The “Problems Series” of Working Drawings,
Good for Either Home or School Use

PROJECTS _for_ BEGINNING WOODWORK _and_ MECHANICAL DRAWING.

_By Ira S. Griffith._
A work book for the use of students in grammar grade
classes. It consists of working drawings and working
directions. The projects are such as have proven of
exceptional service where woodworking and mechanical
drawing are taught in a thoro, systematic manner in the
seventh and eighth grades. The aim has been to provide
successful rather than unique problems. The fifty projects
in the book have been selected and organized with the
constant aim of securing the highest educational results.
The book is especially suited for use in connection with
“Essentials of Woodworking” by the same author. Price, 75
cents.

PROBLEMS _in_ WOODWORKING.

_By M. W. Murray._
A convenient collection of good problems consisting of
forty plates bound in board covers with brass fasteners.
Each plate is a working drawing, or problem in benchwork
that has been successfully worked out by boys in one of the
grades from seven to nine inclusive. Price, 75 cents.

ADVANCED PROJECTS _in_ WOODWORK.

_By Ira S. Griffith._
This book is similar to “Projects for Beginning
Woodwork and Mechanical Drawing,” but is suited to high
school needs. It consists of fifty plates of problems and
accompanying notes. It is essentially a collection of
problems in furniture making selected or designed with
reference to school use. On the plate with each working
drawing is a good perspective sketch of the completed
object. In draftsmanship and refinement of design these
problems are of superior quality. It is in every respect an
excellent collection. Price, $1.00.

PROBLEMS _in_ FURNITURE MAKING.

_By Fred D. Crawshaw._
This book, revised and enlarged, consists of 43
full-page plates of working drawings suitable for use in

In the first place this is a book of problems--25 plates
covering spindle, face-plate, and chuck turning. In the
second place it is a textbook on the science and art of
wood-turning illustrated by fifty pen sketches. It gives
the mathematical basis for the cuts used in turning. In the
third place it is a helpful discussion of the principles of
design as applied to objects turned in wood. It is a clear,
practical and suggestive book on wood-turning. Price, 80
cents.

PROBLEMS _in_ MECHANICAL DRAWING.

_By Charles A. Bennett._ With drawings made by Fred D. Crawshaw.
This book consists of 80 plates and a few explanatory
notes, and is bound in board covers with brass fasteners.
Its purpose is to furnish teachers of classes beginning
mechanical drawing with a large number of simple, practical
problems. These have been selected with reference to the
formation of good habits in technique, the interest of the
pupils, and the subjects generally included in a grammar
and first-year high school course. Each problem given is
unsolved and therefore in proper form to hand to the pupil
for solution. Price, $1.00.
