Quiet Woodworking: In An Unquiet World

By Norman Pirollo

Discover how hand tools create a quiet, peaceful, dust free woodworking experience. Read about the dichotomy of hand tool woodworking in a modern world. Attain a more fulfilling, better quality of craftsmanship. Improve your hand to eye coordination and gain tactile feedback. I delve into how my furniture pieces are created using hand tools. After a mid-career furniture making education, I pivoted to using hand tools in my furniture making. I have developed a deep appreciation of how hand tools provide a vastly different woodworking experience, a more fulfilling one.

Speed and expediency were no longer criteria in my furniture making, replaced by quality, patience, attention to detail, and improved craftsmanship. My emphasis has shifted away from that of seeking the end result or prize through any means. Instead, I invest more time in the selection of woods and in the creation process. A quiet environment in which to perform my woodworking has been the greatest benefit to my furniture making. Find out why you should introduce hand tools to your woodworking. Embrace a quieter, more fulfilling form of woodworking through hand tools.
