Description
This is the complete guide to every kind of woodworking joint - from traditional hand-cut dovetails to modern knock-down fittings. Invaluable for the novice and the experienced woodworker alike.
A unique chart matches each joint to its function and the tools that can be used to cut it. It also indicates whether a joint is suitable for use with hardwoods, softwoods or man-made boards. Joint construction is described in detail for both hand and power tools, with hundreds of step-by-step drawings and photographs to illustrate the clear text.
