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.
