A Manual of Fret Cutting and Wood Carving

A manual of fret-cutting and wood-carving – is a guide, which was published in 1875 and written by Sir Thomas Seaton. Woodcarving and fret-cutting are types of arts and crafts (one of the types of artistic processing of wood along with sawing, turning, burning), as well as art in general, an old folk craft. The author wrote this book for boys, especially for those who have a taste for mechanics and would rather devote their leisure hours to something useful than to sit back with their hands in their pockets and whine: "I have nothing to do." This book has everything you need to get started with fret-cutting and wood-carving. The manual contains a list of all the necessary tools, as well as many illustrated examples and stencils.
