Wearing was classically trained in England as a woodworker and embraced both power and hand tools in his shop and in his teaching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe begins with a table. As you read the chapter on building a table, Wearing connects the dots for the hand-tool user by showing how all the tools are used in concert to produce accurate work. It’s not just about sawing a tenon or planing an edge. Instead, it is about how to gather these skills and apply them to building furniture – tables, doors, carcases, dovetailed drawers, plinths, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is filled with more than 500 hand-drawn illustrations by Wearing that explain every operation in a hand-tool shop. His illustrations are properly drafted, drawn in perspective and masterfully clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Essential Woodworker\" is printed in a 6\" x 9\" format, hardbound with a cloth cover, and produced entirely in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Art Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45297900945711,"sku":"","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/4491\/1663\/files\/essential-woodworker-book.jpg?v=1743686434","url":"https:\/\/badaxetoolworks.mom\/products\/the-essential-woodworker-book","provider":"Bad Axe Tool Works LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
