A few specializations within this field are furniture building and cabinet making. Mastering the craft of carpentry requires training and practice. Carpenters can either enroll in country-specific competency tests and gain formal training or learn the craft through work experience. Carpenters that acquire formal training become apprentices, then journeymen, and finally master carpenters. A fully trained carpenter may venture into scaffolding, shop fitting, maintenance, bench journey, and system installation. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of carpentry. Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques of carpentry and their applications. This book is an essential guide for master carpenters, journeymen, and apprentices who wish to pursue this discipline further." -- Back cover
