Description
The Collins Complete Woodworker's Manual is a comprehensive guide for woodworkers of all levels. This revised edition has been extensively rewritten and updated to include new products and techniques developed since the last edition, as well as updated information on tree conservation. The book provides a thorough understanding of the basics, including the nature of wood, tools required, and setting up a workshop. Step-by-step illustrations demonstrate how to make every type of joint and cover major crafts, including bending wood, veneering, marquetry, woodcarving, and finishing. The book also explores the principles of three-dimensional design and includes a chapter on using other materials, such as metal, glass, and leather, in combination with wood. A final chapter covers fixings and fittings, providing a complete resource for woodworkers.
