Klein\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMany woodworking how-to books have a distinctly clinical feel to them, taking a formulaic approach (complete with exploded computer-drafted imagery) to describe a woodworking process from start to finish. This method works well for conveying precise measurements and details for replicating a specific piece of furniture, but falls short when it comes to capturing the whole point of working wood with hand tools in the first place – that is, enjoying the beauty of the process. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJoined: A Bench Guide to Furniture Joinery, \u003c\/em\u003eauthor Joshua A. Klein thoughtfully guides the reader through the most commonly used joinery found in furniture: dovetails, dadoes, mortise and tenons, and rabbets. But instead of employing precise dimensions, angles, and diagrams, Klein focuses on the skills and techniques that enable an artisan to adapt and cut joinery for almost any project. This is not a book of “DIY tricks” for making dovetails in half the time. Rather, it is a step-by-step guide to understanding, laying out, and efficiently executing joinery, based on the methods of period craftsmen as shown in the furniture they made. Klein shows where precision is important (“sacred” show surfaces, visible tenon shoulders) and where it doesn’t matter in the least (the inside of rails). More importantly, he helps the reader understand each step of the process, explaining \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewhy \u003c\/em\u003eas well as \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehow \u003c\/em\u003eto use the tools in a specific manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is an immensely practical book.
