A completely revised, redesigned and updated edition of the definitive woodworker's bible. Starting with the basics - the nature of wood, the tools required, setting up a workshop - the book then examines in depth the principles of three-dimensional design, from inspiration to methods of construction.
These ideas are then put into practice with a comprehensive look at the various skills and techniques a woodworker requires. Step-by-step illustrations demonstrate how to make every type of joint, and all the major crafts are given detailed coverage. Add to this a chapter on using other materials, such as metal, glass and leather, in combination with wood, plus a chapter on fixings and fittings, and the book has everything you need to complete the job.
