Woodworker's Handbook: A Complete Course for Craftsmen, Do-It-Yourselfers and Hobbyists (U)

The book covers every aspect of working with wood that anyone could reasonably expect to encounter, from how to knock in a nail without bending it, to cutting a secret haunched mortise and tenon. Dozens of carefully devised illustrated sequences reduce even difficult joint construction to a simple step-by-step approach. It offers a challenging set of woodworking projects, and a reference section classifies all the world's most useful woodworking timbers, with descriptions of their technical properties.
