Description

Woodworking Basics is the perfect introduction to the fundamentals of working with wood for those with little or no experience. The book covers all the principal skills necessary to ensure good results whether repairing an existing piece or creating something from scratch.

Successful woodworking is all about best practice, and this book demonstrates how it is possible to create various pieces with a very limited and inexpensive set of tools. It discusses each tool and its uses, as well as how to use each tool safely. Additionally, the book covers the fundamentals of using screws, nails, glue, and filler, as well as various joints such as butt joints, lap joints, and housing joints.

The book includes several projects, such as a table, shelf unit, bed, cabinet, and box, allowing readers to apply the techniques they've learned.

Author: Woodworker and journalist Alan Goodsell has written extensively on woodworking and tools for a range of magazines, including the highly acclaimed Woodturning magazine, The Router, and Furniture and Cabinetmaking (GMC). A significant move took Alan to the USA where he ran the Marketing Department for a top router bit and cutting tool manufacturer.
