Extract from back cover of book:
Shows you how to cut joints and make a fine tool tote using the hand tools you've made yourself!
Woodworkers love to use fine hand tools to make projects. The only thing more satisfying than that is working wood with hand tools the craftsperson has made for him- or herself.
This practical and comprehensive handbook presents detailed instructions for making 20 essential hand tools for joinery and general woodworking. All the tools can be made using common workshop tools and techniques. These tools include everything the craftsman needs to cut the frame and box joints that are at the heart of furniture and interior woodworking. Readers will learn how to cut mortise-and-tenon joints and dovetail joints using the tools they have made.
"A wealth of well-illustrated and practical information for everyone who wants more control and more options in their woodworking. " Graham Blackburn, publisher/editor, WOODWORKING...in action
