The book is designed as a practical guide that encompasses various topics, including the use and care of tools, design principles, and the steps necessary to create a variety of woodworking projects. It aims to foster both practical skills and creative thinking, encouraging boys to develop their own designs rather than merely replicate existing works. The opening of the manual introduces the value of carpentry as a foundational skill that can benefit young learners in various trades and occupations. Zerbe emphasizes the significance of understanding tools and their proper usage while also discussing the necessity of systematic training in manual skills. He outlines that the knowledge of carpentry fosters both physical and mental development, setting a comprehensive educational framework that combines practical demonstrations with theoretical explanations. The introduction serves as a prelude to the more detailed chapters that follow, which promise to instruct young readers on everything from basic tool application to advanced design techniques.
