Wearing was classically trained in England as a woodworker and embraced both power and hand tools in his shop and in his teaching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe begins with a table. As you read the chapter on building a table, Wearing connects the dots for the hand-tool user by showing how all the tools are used in concert to produce accurate work. It’s not just about sawing a tenon or planing an edge. Instead, it is about how to gather these skills and apply them to building furniture – tables, doors, carcases, dovetailed drawers, plinths, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is filled with more than 500 hand-drawn illustrations by Wearing that explain every operation in a hand-tool shop. His illustrations are properly drafted, drawn in perspective and masterfully clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Essential Woodworker\" is printed in a 6\" x 9\" format, hardbound with a cloth cover, and produced entirely in the United States. Like other books from Lost Art Press, this paper is acid-free, and the signatures are sewn and casebound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Art Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43926034251994,"sku":"300-947","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/4098\/7482\/files\/image_c899dbb0-ed4b-4660-971e-2a24c11b6824.jpg?v=1685489129","url":"https:\/\/www.woodenboatstore.sbs\/products\/the-essential-woodworker","provider":"The WoodenBoat Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
