Fourth Canadian Edition
by Floyd Vogt, Michael Nauth, Luc Lapierre
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.
