Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Many woodworkers are discovering the pleasures of working with hand tools. Purists have always known that these tools are safer and quieter and that they produce an unparalleled level of finish. They are also generally harder to use than their electrified counterparts. Peters comes to the rescue with this outstanding guide to their care and use. Divided into broad sections by tool function ("Measuring & Marking," "Cutting," "Smoothing," "Shaping," "Assembly," "Clamping," and "Sharpening"), this title offers excellent instructions supplemented by a wealth of colorful photos and drawings. The sections on using clamps and measuring and marking tools should be required reading for all woodworkers, whether they use hand or power tools. This especially attractive book is an essential public library purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and valuable guide to hand tools, May 21, 2003
By Oavde "oavde" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent book.

I just popped on to Amazon to see what other books the author has because this one was so good - saw there were no reviews so thought I would just add my 2c
- detailed and comprehensive
- magnificent colour photos throughout
- every topic, every tool jam packed with gems of tips, it seemed that everything had something new to add
- tells you what, why, how for every tool imaginable

note this is for HAND tools that means hand powered, NOT electric tools held in your hand, we're talking chisels etc.. here, but also things such as vices, sharpening stones etc.. etc.. it covers all the traditional tools.

very good, well worth a look, even if you experienced it is a good read, and if you are a beginner, well it is excellent
