| Practical Stone Masonry
is the first major book in nearly 70 years on the craft of
the stonemason. Today the work of the stonemason is almost
exclusively confined to the repair of historic buildings,
requiring a full working knowledge of the detailed traditional
craft practices relating to repairs. This book addresses that
need. It covers the basic methods of working stone, the making
of specialised tools, and for the first time, a full analysis
of the procedures for setting-out for repairs. A broad description
of the nature and problems of stone also includes guidance
on selection. In addition, the authors look at the causes
of decay in stone and outline methods for repair of both stone
and mortar. |
