Mixed lot, 15 Sep 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: "Fine Woodworking" on Hand Tools (Paperback)
There is a very wide variety here. It shows how to make your own chisels and gouges (apparently not a don't-try-this-at-home project), your own knife and your own bow saw. I also cannot see myself making a wooden thread. However the "how to make your own axe-handle" was most interesting, I must certainly read the "how to take care of your scraper" again and the "how to use a knife safely" has already repaid me the cost of this book many times over.I can also see how the information on cleaving, the how to use an axe (a proper axe, not of the mass-production type), and how to use a spokeshave or drawknife may be invaluable.

Great gift for a home woodworker, 2 July 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: "Fine Woodworking" on Hand Tools (Paperback)
I bought this as a gift for my father, who has done his share of small projects around the house for decades but isn't one of those "I'll build a Windsor chair" types. It went over very well. I was concerned that Fine Woodworking, which is sort of like the Architectural Digest of woodworking, would be too advanced but it was apparently dead-on for a person who is serious about woodworking but hasn't had the time/experience.
