First published in 1901, this book contains a comprehensive guide to making various things out of bamboo, including tables, chairs, cabinets, and more. âBamboo Workâ is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in woodwork and hand making furniture, and it would make for a great addition to DIY collections. Contents include: âBamboo: It's Sources and Usesâ, âHow to Work Bambooâ, âBamboo Tablesâ, âBamboo Chairs and Seatsâ, âBamboo Hall Racks and Standsâ, âBamboo Music Rackâ, âBamboo Cabinets and Bookcasesâ âBamboo Window Blindsâ, âMiscellaneous Articles of Bambooâ, etc. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 â 1916) was an Australian engineer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many books on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by this author include: âTreatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of Turningâ (1881), âThe Wrath-Jobber's Handy Bookâ (1887), and âScrew-Threads and Methods of Producing Themâ (1887). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
