In this book, Paul Sellers has put together the essential information about the tools that he considers to be essential to hand tool woodworking. He describes the tools in use, what to look for when picking them, how to sharpen them as well as tips and tricks for using them. Paul has been woodworking for over 50 years, and his admiration and affection for these tools shines through in the pages of the book. The book does not cover building any projects. This allows it to focus entirely on the tools. However, you cannot create great furniture without sharp, well-maintained tools. This is what this book covers so well.
