Made by Hand: Furniture Projects from the Unplugged Woodshop [With DVD ROM]

Traditional woodworking using hand tools can offer a more satisfying relationship with the wood and the creative woodworking process. It's quieter, cleaner and maybe even a little spiritual. It's no surprise that many "plugged-in" wood workers are returning to the roots of this treasured skill. Where some hand-tool books focus solely on the use of hand tools, Made by Hand takes you right to the bench and shows you how to start building furniture using these tools.

By working through the six projects in this book, you'll learn the basics of hand-tool woodworking and how to use the tools effectively and efficiently, then add joinery skills and design complexity.
