Product Description
Product Description
Nearly every operation in woodworking uses a piece of steel between the woodworker and the wood. This steel needs to be cared for and sharpened for the best results. "The Perfect Edge" is an up-to-date book on sharpening every woodworking tool, using the latest sharpening stones, tools and techniques. The author brings more than twenty-five years of experience, working with demanding customers and staying on top of the latest trends.

Since making his fi rst blades, he has spent 25 years learning about tool steel metallurgy, cutting edge geometry, hand woodworking tools and sharpening. His interest and expertise regarding sharp edges comes from a blade-maker's perspective; he has given countless lectures about steel, tools, and heat treatment.

Everything I needed to know about sharpening tools and a lot more besides. If I can't manage to keep my tools sharp after reading this, it's not the fault of the author!

Format:Hardcover
You often hear people say I couldn't put a novel down, I'd say the same about this book. Its exceptionally well written and you can literally open any page and read something interesting and useful. Its inspired me to try and sharpen all my old tools which haven't been well cared for over the years. I started on a couple of chisels and in minutes they are much improved, no more throwaway tools for me.
