Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for Rangers Woodsmen (1) Object. - The object of this volume is to serve as a guide for inexperienced men in woods work. While in its preparation, the author had primarily in mind the problems which confront a forest ranger, in Government, State, or private employ, and especially rangers on National Forests, yet the suggestions offered may be of use to others whose work or recreation takes them into rough and unsettled regions. The book is not intended and should not be considered in any way as an official or even a semi-official publication the use of which is obligatory upon National Forest Rangers. It has been prepared, however, by permission of the Secretary of Agriculture, whose criticisms have been carefully considered and at whose request certain revisions have been made, and is strictly in the nature of a private publication prepared after eight years of experience in field work of the United States Forest Service. It is not placed before the public with any intention or desire on the part of the author to insist that opinions of inexperienced persons must coincide with the ones expressed here before satisfactory results may be obtained. On the contrary, the absolute necessity for exercising ingenuity and originality of thought, in so far as this is practicable, is thoroughly appreciated and is suggested as the most effective means of extrication from all difficulties encountered, especially those the solution of which cannot be touched upon here. (2) Brevity. - Recognition of the fact that volume after volume might still fail to cover in detail any one of the subjects discussed here makes it at once apparent that only the most essential points can be covered in a book of this size. Consequently only such problems as have been found to be especially difficult for the inexperienced woodsman are considered. (3) Technical Terms. - These have been avoided so far as such a course seemed practical, and all unusual trade or professional terms with which the beginner can not be expected to be familiar have been defined in the Glossary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual for Northern Woodsmen The reception accorded this book since it was first issued in 1909, particularly the appreciation expressed by numerous woodsmen, has been gratifying. Letters of commendation have been received from users in all parts of the country. It is significant that the first typographical error discovered (a wrong figure in a logarithmic table) was pointed out by a ranger on'the largest tract of unsurveyed timber land in the United States, in Idaho. The second correction Was sent in by a Canadian cruiser. The incidents just mentioned illustrate the wide distribution of the volume and explain the present extension of it. As originally written, the book did not aim at circulation west of the Lake states; but from the first a large part'of the demand for it came from Westerners, chiefly those employed in the United States Forest Service. Revisions have been guided largely by this fact, and that is true especially of the present and first considerable revision, for aside from bringing the work up to date as concerns appliances and methods which have come into use since the first edition was written, the new matter and tables which have been introduced are mainly intended for the benefit of western woodsmen. As a result, material additions have been made under the heads Topographic Maps and Timber Estimating. The book, however, is not materially increased bulk, nor has there been any change in its chief pur pose, which is to serve the men who are carrying the load of actual timber work in this country. To these men, in whatever section they are, and whatever may have been their training, the author extends greeting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thirty years, Roy Underhill's PBS program, The Woodwright's Shop, has brought classic hand-tool craftsmanship to viewers across America. Now, in his seventh book, Roy shows how to engage the mysteries of the splitting wedge and the cutting edge to shape wood from forest to furniture. Beginning with the standing tree, each chapter of The Woodwright's Guide explores one of nine trades of woodcraft: faller, countryman and cleaver, hewer, log-builder, sawyer, carpenter, joiner, turner, and cabinetmaker. Each trade brings new tools and techniques; each trade uses a different character of material; but all are united by the grain in the wood and the enduring mastery of muscle and steel. Hundreds of detailed drawings by Eleanor Underhill (Roy's daughter) illustrate the hand tools and processes for shaping and joining wood. A special concluding section contains detailed plans for making your own foot-powered lathes, workbenches, shaving horses, and taps and dies for wooden screws. The Woodwright's Guide is informed by a lifetime of experience and study. A former master craftsman at Colonial Williamsburg, Roy has inspired millions to "just say no to power tools" through his continuing work as a historian, craftsman, activist, and teacher. In The Woodwright's Guide, he takes readers on a personal journey through a legacy of off-the-grid, self-reliant craftsmanship. It's a toolbox filled with insight and technique as well as wisdom and confidence for the artisan in all of us.
