The Foundations of
Better Woodworking
How to Use Your Body, Tools and Materials
to Do Your Best Work

29 Step-by-Step Projects to Beautify Your Home
Editors of Popular Woodworking
To learn the fundamentals of woodworking we need to use our five
senses to understand the wood, the tools and how our bodies work
with each to produce superior craftsmanship. For example, it’s not
usually the lack of information on how to cut dovetails that keeps most
woodworkers from being able to cut the joint successfully. It’s the lack
of basic sawing skills, the inability to cut to a line properly, or the failure
to wield a chisel effectively. These skills themselves are based on proper
body position and mechanics, a fundamental understanding of some
specific properties of wood, the knowledge of how the specific tools
actually work, and an understanding of just what it means to cut to
a line. In The Foundations of Better Woodworking, the author creates a
significant resource for woodworkers to use in improving their skills;
pulling together as much of the fundamental woodworking knowledge
as possible so it can be easily understood and applied in a wide variety
of woodworking situations.
