Whether you are an expert woodworker or an enthusiastic beginner, this book is a COMPREHENSIVE and ACCESSIBLE GUIDE to achieving the desired finish, all in complete safety.
Woodworking in the home is an absorbing and rewarding hobby.
Pride in achievement is fostered by the very material that is used wood. This book sets out to inform the reader old, young, male or female about the tools, processes and materials involved in home wood working.
It is not just a book of 'handyman jobs'! It is written for reading, and for interest, and if in the process it creates enthusiasm, then the reader and his, or her, home will benefit.
The contents cover: wood as a material; hand tools and their design and use; the mechanics of framed woodwork and the basic geometry needed to get it right; the adhesives and finishes necessary; the use, selection and safety of electric hand tools; fixing methods, fastenings and fittings; and concludes with a number of suggestions for home woodworking projects.
The book is illustrated throughout with detailed line drawing and diagrams.
Conditionwise, this book is in overall EXCELLENT condition.
The tough laminated picture boards and spine show only light signs of bumping, rubbing, shelf and edgewear. They are otherwise unmarked, clean and are perfectly attached to each other and to the book itself.
Internally, the book is in SUPERB CONDITION. Apart from the authors signature (part of a neat manuscript inscription on the front free end paper), there are NO MARKINGS of any sort. All of the pages and illustrations are present and correct.
The book is VERY TIGHTLY BOUND and is a BRILLIANT SOURCEBOOK and a MINE of INFORMATION about this great subject.
