Format:Paperback
As an improver in the field of carpentry and self employed joiner I found the book to be an ideal reference source to correct carpentry methods involved in construction methods. There is a good chapter on basic tools and sharpening as well. This could definetely become a carpenters bible! Highly recommended.
