Book Reviews of Working W/Handplanes (New Best of Fine Woodworking)
Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading it, this book went right to the top of my list of favorites and will remain within easy reach for reference. This is a book that every woodworker should read, if for nothing more than to learn of alternative methods to the typical woodworking by machine of today.
Although I own several very good sanders, sophisticated breathing masks, shop dust removal and air filters, I've turned to hand planes to try to reduce or eliminate sanding and the problems that accompany the sanding process, especially the breathing of the dust. This book is probably the best I've read, when it comes to covering all of the alternatives that are available. Scrapers and planes are explained very well, how to set up, tune and use them. It even includes good pieces on how to make wooden scrapers and planes along with beading and molding tools.
I already own some good planes. This book will help me use them more efficiently and I intend to make several of the more esoteric planes and scrapers that are detailed in the book. The best part about this book is that it isn't aimed at pros. A novice user can derive significant benefit from this book, especially those that are on a tight budget. Making your own planes are challenging and rewarding. This book helps you do that comfortably.
Highly recommended.
Summary of Working W/Handplanes (New Best of Fine Woodworking)
Of all the hand tools used in the modern shop, planes exert a special fascination. Though quite simple, planes are enormously versatile and practical when skillfully used. The articles in this book, collected from Fine Woodworking, illustrate a host of topics, including basic plane operation, how to choose the right plane for the job, and specialty planes. Step-by-step instructions show how to build wooden planes - a popular project for hand tool fans - and how to correctly tune and sharpen, essential for proper plane operation.
