Working With Wood Books

The only thing more satisfying than finishing a fine project in your own workshop is knowing that you made that box, piece of furniture, cabinet or other project using tools that you yourself created. With this book, Tool Making Projects for Joinery & Woodworking, you will find step by step instructions to making 20 hand tools for working with wood. You’ll find cutting tools like the backsaw, bench plane and shoulder plane; holding tools like cam clamps, shooting boards and bench hooks; striking tools like the mallet; and you’ll also find a wealth of information on joints and gauges.

When you’ve finished making your own hand tools, author Steve Olesin also provides instructions on how to make your own tool tote, all provided with clear diagrams and a plethora of black and white photographs.
