Description

Woodworking Joinery by Hand is a ground-breaking woodworking book that introduces a new twist on the traditional hand-cut methods of joint making. With Sugita's unique method of guiding and controlling the saw blade using jigs and magnetic sheets, even a complete beginner can learn advanced joint-making techniques with hand tools alone. Making it easy to produce straight and square cuts, this pioneering technique is a game-changer for producing high-precision, beautifully made wooden joints.

Critical Reviews

"I tend to shy away from books that have step-by-step picture instructions. Why? Because often the pictures are poorly designed, and don't really tell the construction story as they should. But I was pleasantly surprised because this book did it right! ...Sugita seems to clearly understand how to explain the basics of Japanese joinery using a simple list of tools. He understands even more the importance of well-presented, informative photographs."--Working by Hand
