This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ...necessary to build the beams in place. It is always better to put ceiling beams together in the shop, however, as much as possible. Fig. 285 shows how the column and entablature of one of the classic orders should be put together. An octagonal post is first made by mitring and gluing the necessary number of planks together in such a manner that the centre of the post is hollow. If the finish wood is very expensive the planks are made thin and glued to a backing of pine or ash, which is not quite as well seasoned as the show wood, so that the shrinkage of the backing tends to close the joints in the show wood more tightly. The angles of the backing, or of the solid planks if no backing is used, should be splined together, as shown in section B. After the shell is glued up it is turned and fluted as if a solid timber. This cut is taken by permission from an article by A. C. Nye, on "Interior Woodwork, ' published in the American Arckiltctol October 22, 1892. In fluting the shaft, the flutes should be arranged so that the glue joint will come a little to one side of the centre of the flutes and not on the arris. "Practice has shown that when the joint is on the arris the thin edges necessarily resulting are likely to warp and the joint open. With the joint as shown there is no feather edge and a firm butt-joint can be made with little possibility of its opening." The base is made of octagonal rings glued one on top of the other until the correct size is obtained, when it is turned into shape. The capital is so deeply carved in the example shown that thick pieces of wood are required at the outset, but the hollow space in the centre is retained. The shaft of the column should be rebated into cap and base. In the construction of the entablature a j...
