By William Noyes and Anonymous

Book Overview

Handwork In Wood is a comprehensive guidebook written by William Noyes and originally published in 1910. The book is aimed at woodworkers, both beginners and advanced, and covers a wide range of topics related to woodworking. The book begins with an introduction to the tools and materials used in woodworking, including hand tools such as saws, chisels, and planes, as well as power tools like lathes and routers. It then goes on to cover various techniques and skills, including sawing, planing, jointing, and carving. The latter half of the book is devoted to specific projects that readers can undertake, with detailed instructions and diagrams provided for each one. These projects range from simple items like bookends and picture frames to more complex pieces like tables and chairs. Throughout the book, Noyes emphasizes the importance of precision and attention to detail in woodworking, as well as the importance of safety when using tools and machinery. Handwork In Wood remains a valuable resource for woodworkers today, offering timeless advice and techniques that are still relevant over a century later.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
