The student's instructor in drawing and working : the five orders of architecture : fully explaining the best methods for striking regular and quirked mouldings, for diminishing and glueing of columns and capitals, for finding the true diameter of an order to any given height, for striking the ionic volute, circular or elliptical, with finished examples, on a large scale, of the orders, their planceers, etc. and some designs for door-cases . hip rafter, or of a pitch sky-light ; but, however, this exactness is not always attended to, as the deviation from thetruth is so small as to be disregarded: after your column is quite finished, it ought to bewell painted, to preserve it from being injured by the weather. Another method is, glue the column in two halves, and then glue these together; theblockings may be put in a considerable way by hand ; but if the column is too long, a rodof sufficient length may be used. Either of these methods have inconveniences whichcannot be avoided ; by the former method the last joints cannot be rubbed together be-cause of the tapering of the stave, but if it is glued quickly, it will be pretty soundby the latter method there is an uncertainty of the blockings being sound. Note.—The grain of the blocking pieces must be the same way as the grain of thecolumn, that if affected by weather, they may expand alike. For the method of glueing up bases, see Plate XXXVIII, and description. Plate TUSCAN 9.
