The Seven Essentials of Woodworking Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

There are seven essential skills of woodworking that you must know to succeed. What are these seven essentials? 1. Buy a quality handsaw. 2. Measure and mark wood carefully. 3. Crosscut and rip hardwood boards by hand. 4. Edge-joint and surface a three-foot plank by hand. 5. Keep your tools sharper. 6. Perfectly cut a mortise-and-tenon joint by hand. 7. Master a single finishing technique before trying others. The secret is a balance between your skills on particular tools and machines and your experience in improving your craftsmanship and design. You'll learn the seven essentials faster if you practice them with hand tools, and that's what you get here--a basic woodworking course that focuses on the true priorities and principles arising out of your love and mastery of wood.
