Perfect for paring small details like dovetails, this will soon become one of your favorite tools.

Included in Projects from the Minimalist Woodworker are a variety of designs that will work equally well in either the home or the shop. They include: a keepsake box, album crate, six-board chest, perch stool, and a wall-hanging cabinet. Like his first book, each step of the projects will teach a new skill while building on the ones already learned resulting in a comfortable, efficient, and very successful elevation in woodworking skills. All you need to enjoy the engaged satisfaction of working with hand tools is to step alongside Vic at his workbench and take the next steps on your woodworking journey.
