Woodworkers
love to use fine hand tools to make projects. The only thing more
satisfying than that is working wood with hand tools the craftsperson
has made for himself or herself. This practical and comprehensive
handbook presents detailed instructions for making 20 essential
hand tools for joinery and general woodworking. All the tools can
be made using common workshop tools and techniques. These tools
include everything the craftsman needs to cut the frame and box
joints that are at the heart of furniture and interior woodworking.
Readers will learn how to cut mortise-and-tenon joints and dovetail
joints using the tools they have made.
