Basic Woodworking All the Skills and Tools You Need to Get Started

The history of woodworking spans cultures and millennia, and each year more and more people take up this exciting and challenging craft. Illustrated with hundreds of full-colour photographs, this book helps beginners to learn the fundamentals of working with wood and avoid frustration and injury in the process. Following a complete introduction to both hand tools and woodworking machines, the book guides readers step-by-step, from start to finish, through several simple projects -- including a cutting board, peg shelf, and step stool -- and, along the way, builds a foundation of knowledge by teaching the essential skills that will serve them in future woodworking endeavours.Ebeling, Eric is the author of 'Basic Woodworking All the Skills and Tools You Need to Get Started', published 2004 under ISBN 9780811731133 and ISBN 0811731138.
