Published in conjunction with the world’s leading tool manufacturer, it provides comprehensive and expert guidance on equipment and key techniques, as well as projects for six pieces of furniture. A wealth of diagrams and color photos show how to use everything from saws, planes, chisels, and hammers to drills, braces, and vices. In-depth instructions cover measuring, cutting and fitting joints, assembling the pieces, gluing them up, and finishing. Choosing both hard and soft woods, creating a layout, and making a workbench, bookcase, child’s desk, and more: there’s enough here to turn a novice into a skilled craftsperson in no time!
