Working With Wood Books

If you prefer to use power tools over traditional hand methods, you’re sure to enjoy this book. Within its pages you’ll learn to make more than 100 different joints with common power tools. When you’re ready to put your table saw, bandsaw, router, hollow-chisel mortiser, drill press, or biscuit joiner to work to create precise, tight joints, then let this book be your guide.

This manual features plenty of full color photographs and illustrations to provide clear detail and instruction. In addition to the sections on joints, you’ll find several types of jigs you can make yourself for various power tool applications, a gallery of work, and a metric conversion table.

Chapters include preparation, assembly, and numerous joints: butt, tongue-and-groove, spline, biscuit, dowel, rabbet, dado, finger, lap, mortise-and-tenon, and dovetail joints. All feature several pages of instruction, techniques, and tips for the woodworker who is already familiar with use and operation of his power tools.
