How to Make Twelve Woodworking Tools (Workshop Equipment Manual, No 9)
How to Make Twelve Woodworking Tools - Workshop Equipment Manual, No 9 Author:Aaron Moore A good illustrated guide to the careful production of some useful carpentry tools, including a try square, bevel square, marking gauge, cutting gauge, mortise gauge, panel gauge, mallet, bow drill, bow saw, coping saw, fret saw and hack saw.
