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. There is also a MindTap available with this text.
