Furniture-Making Techniques

All the essentials of fine furniture-making and the intricacies of tool use-- these innovative techniques will set beginners on the right path, help the more experienced develop their skills, and challenge expert woodworkers to re-examine their methods. David Charlesworth, a master teacher and carpenter, has seen firsthand for over 20 years where students run into problems, and he shows how careful preparation, in combination with well-chosen and cared for tools, can get even newcomers professional results. Become proficient on machines, power tools, and hand tools; cut joints that fit perfectly every time, as well as plain, secret, and twisted dovetails; and fine-tune the bench plane for astounding improvements in performance, control, and finish. Use Japanese and European chisels, plane a true face and edge, rout sliding dovetails, make accurate tenons, dowel-joint carcasses, and show off your new proficiency on three projects.
