Handtools are rightfully making their way back into workshops everywhere. When considering that much of the best woodwork ever crafted – Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Federal, to name a few – was accomplished exclusively by hand and that the exploding maker movement thrives on the joy of hands-on crafting, this trend back to handtools is not at all surprising.

'With Traditional Woodworking Handtools', Graham Blackburn continues what he began with 'The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Handtools, Devices and Instruments' and delivers the definitive user's guide explaining the purpose and the method of operation for every essential handtool. Ideal for both the active woodworker seeking to augment a shop of power tools and the enthusiastic beginner just learning the craft, Traditional Woodworking Handtools is a manual of expert information and beautiful, iconic illustrations that can be read in any order as one experiments and discovers the accuracy and versatility of tried and true handtools. 'Traditional Woodworking Handtools' is not only a valuable addition to any crafter's technical knowledge, it offers fascinating historical insight and a greater appreciation of the ingenuity and beauty of handtools.
