The Practical Woodworker

When the new edition of THE COMPLETE WOODWORKER was published in 1980, it became an immediate hit with people who loved to work with wood. THE PRACTICAL WOODWORKER is a companion book which gives detailed instruction on many advanced techniques not found in that book. There are also pages of plans and designs that can lead the woodworker through the old methods to construct tables, chairs, and even greenhouses. Special chapters deal with 'The Workshop' and 'Tools for Measuring & Marking', and others on cutting and planning. The last half of this book consists of chapters on individual items showing details of construction with diagrams and designs. THE PRACTICAL WOODWORKER and THE COMPLETE WOODWORKER combine to provide the essential work on woodworking in the early years of this century.
