Back to basics could move me ahead handle-y
I am a beginning handyool woodworking trying to absorb as much information as I can. I have assembled a basic set of tools and have started working on my first project (School Desks for my Kids). I know, probably not a good beginning project, but I’m making decent progress. But, I am finding that I am missing some vital techniques to get my joints to seat properly. I believe this book would help me solve some of my basic ignorance about how to properly prepare stock and create seamless joints with hand tools. Thank you for the offer. I look forward to reading it even if I don’t win it.
