About this title

Synopsis

Hand and Power Tools Work Best Together In today's world of more-power-is-better, it's easy to overlook the value of hand tools. What most woodworker's don't realize is that combining both hand and power tool worlds is the best way to produce the highest quality woodworking. In Hand Tool Essentials you'll learn how to choose and use hand tools for chopping, cutting, paring, sawing, marking, drilling and more. Many of the tools are familiar, but others will surprise you with their usefulness. Though they've been around for hundreds (or thousands) of years, these tools have gotten lost in the rush of the industrial revolution. Rediscovering the value of these tools in your woodworking will also give you a better understanding of how your power tools work. But this book is more than about how to use hand tools. It's about using hand tools in balance with power tools to save you time, provide a more pleasant woodworking experience and ultimately give you a better woodworking project.

Synopsis

Hand tools (tools that are not powered, such as hammers and chisels) are currently the hot trend in woodworking purchases. "Hand Tool Essentials" is a book that will benefit all woodworkers, whether new to the hobby, or a seasoned woodworker. For the new woodworker, the book will provide a solid education on the use of hand tools and how they can be used with power tools to provide a balanced approach to woodworking. Many seasoned woodworkers have been taught only the power tool side of the hobby. By adding hand tool knowledge and use into their woodworking, they can improve the quality of their projects and also improve the safety and comfort of their hobby. "Hand Tool Essentials" (written by the experienced editors and authors of "Popular Woodworking" magazine) includes over forty no-nonsense articles on choosing and using common and not-so-common woodworking hand tools. Tools included are: mallets, chisels & gouges, wood and metal-bodied planes, wood and metal-bodied spokeshaves, measuring and marking tools, rasps, awls, Eastern and Western handsaws and other hand tool accessories.
