Working with Wood

Build Your Toolkit, Learn the Skills and Create Stylish Objects for your Home

Tom Trimmins

Description

This wonderfully practical book is aimed at anyone looking to balance their busy lives by mastering core woodworking skills. Working with wood will challenge, stimulate, relax and reward – and you'll be proud to display the beautiful objects you've made with your own hands.

Here you'll find a range of practical and pleasing projects to make in and display around your home. Initially you'll need a small collection of readily available tools – as your skills develop and expand, so too will your tool collection. Every project has step-by-step instructions, and you'll learn about the properties of different woods, design techniques and how to fix up vintage tools. The book mainly uses hand tools as they're cleaner, take up less room, are quieter and offer less potential for accidents than power tools.
