What tools are essential? How many planes, saws, and chisels do you need? What are the different types of wood and for what uses are they best suited? How to mark and measure accurately, how to fix together with nails, screws, and a variety of joints, and how to make the best of polishes and stains, waxes, and lacquers.
Working in Wood, the sixth title in the popular Basic Guide series published by Reader's Digest, sets out the fundamental principles and practices of good carpentry. Most household jobs - and practically everything you make from scratch - involve working with wood, and wood itself is a source of great personal satisfaction.
This Guide, based on The Reader's Digest Complete Do-it-yourself Manual, will help experts and novice alike.
