Concrete Formwork, By Leonard Koel


It is entirely truthful to say that my every day reading can be an esoteric mixture. Here is an example of an easy to understand book, written for the student of construction technique. Leonard Koel has written a series of educational books used by the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America as school texts for their apprentices. There is enough information within the pages to make for entertaining reading for even the most advanced worker.
Have a husband, friend or sister interested in building a house foundation or concrete walls? Impress them with your intelligence and savvy by purchasing a book of this caliber! Koel is a master of detailed description and decipherable pictures. I recommend this book for all construction enthusiasts! It may have the effect of making all others drowsy, if you find this is the case, please avoid operating heavy equipment.

Vanishing,
Nice post and good information for carpenter to bes. However I still think using gender specific words such as brotherhood is wrong. It should be personhood.

BTW I am sure you will want a new widget like the one I found. Just click on the get one button.

You are more than welcome to take it up with the carpenter's union. It really doesn't bother me. :)
