Whether you'd like to make period pieces or contemporary pieces it can help to learn some traditional handtool woodworking — no electricity, no noise, no expensive machinery, just the safe (and quiet!) ability to make the finest furniture possible, plus some extra techniques not possible with machines. A lot may not be obvious but with a little patience you'll have more fun! One word of caution: it's always possible to get hurt, so remember always cut AWAY from yourself and keep the workpiece firmly secured! www.blackburnbooks.com
