Sophisticated new power tools come and go, but fundamental wood-working skill begins and ends with hand tools. No matter how clever you are with jigs for the radial-arm saw or router, you almost always come back to planes, chisels, and saws for some aspect of the job. This volume of 38 articles from Fine Woodworking magazine offers a wealth of information on all phases of hand-tool use, from basic sawing and chiseling to understanding the finer points of how a plane cuts and why it leaves a shimmery surface you can't get with sandpaper.
