This new text provides comprehensive coverage of geometrical drawing for apprentices of Carpentry & Joinery.
· Devised specifically for Phases 4 & 6 of FÁS apprenticeships in Carpentry & Joinery
· Written in a clear and accessible style
· Over 250 detailed drawings throughout
· Each chapter provides sample questions and solutions to aid learning
· Will also complement the practical element of apprenticeships, and is a useful reference book for those already qualified in the trade
· Accompanied by a website for lecturers, which provides additional geometrical drawings in colour
