Carpentry

The fourth Canadian edition of  Vogt/Nauth’s Carpentry textbook is designed for college students  enrolled in both apprenticeship and diploma programs. Referring to the  National Building Code of Canada, this product will prepare students to  pass the Certificate of Qualification Exam (Red Seal Exam) and for a  career as a professionally certified carpenter. The core of the  carpentry trade as practised in Canada is covered in four comprehensive  sections: Tools and Materials, Building Construction, Exterior Finish,  and Interior Finish. Each of these sections features step-by-step  procedures for all stages of construction, important safety precautions,  tips of the trade, and a look at anticipated future trends in the  construction industry. The engaging design and layout throughout this  text are accompanied by a focus on necessary soft skills and features  that build critical thinking skills, including “What’s Wrong with This  Picture” and “Deconstruct This” activities.
