DESCRIPTION:
"A must-have for hand woodworkers" according to Michael J. Edelman. There has lately been renewed interest in woodworking using hand tools, and there have been a number of good books on the topic, largely due to the efforts of Roy Underhill and of Chris Schwartz and his Lost Art Press. But nearly a century ago, when hand tools were still the norm, Bernard Jones wrote what were some of the best books ever written on hand woodworking. I became aware of them through the recommendation of Chris Schwartz, and they are as essential to my woodworking library as are the books Schwarz publishes.. Emily said as expected. Good shipment, no issues.
The Practical Woodworker, edited by Bernard E. It also includes some simple projects including plain tables, domestic woodenware, dog kennels, steps and ladders and more.. Jones, is a foundation set of books for the woodworker interested in early 20th-century woodworking techniques.Volume 1 covers the workshop and its equipment, including shop appliances such as a saw bench, as well as the tools and foundation techniques of the trade: measuring and marking tools, saws and sawing, hammer and mallets, chisels and gouges, planes and planing, gluing, nailing and screwing and more. Plus, you'll find techniques for making mouldings, cutting rabbets (rebates, actually--the books were first printed in England), making houses and lap joints, edge and angle joints, dovetails and more
