Book Reviews of Hand Tool Essentials: Refine Your Power Tool Projects with Hand Tool Techniques (Popular Woodworking)

Book Review: nice blend of hand and power
Summary: 4 Stars

What is really good about this book is that many of the articles deal with the usefulness and expedience of hand tools in a power tool shop.

I reach for this often. Yeah, it's armchair stuff, but really good and quite inspiring. I think I will make the workbench at the end. Just as soon as I finish my tea...

One last thought. For sharpening; where it all begins (after the match and pig iron slag, of course), Ian Kirby's "Sharpening with Waterstones: A Perfect Edge in 60 Seconds", is really the best and most straightforward book on the subject of sharpening. The title is incomplete: he starts with a bench grinder.

Summary of Hand Tool Essentials: Refine Your Power Tool Projects with Hand Tool Techniques (Popular Woodworking)

Hand tools (tools that are not powered, such as hammers and chisels) are currently the hot trend in woodworking purchases.

Hand tools require specialized training. Without it, the experience will be disappointing.

Learning to use woodworking hand tools properly makes it easier to understand how power tools work, plus they offer a quieter, safer and more pleasant woodworking experience. This book shows the woodworker how hand tools can be used in tandem with their power tools to produce superior work, improving and enriching their woodworking experience. Readers will learn to use mallets, chisels & gouges, wood- and metal-bodied planes, wood- and metal-bodied spokeshaves, measuring and marking tools, rasps, awls, Eastern and Western handsaws and other hand tool accessories.
