I’m kicking off 2018 with a giveaway of our first book of this year which is just now hitting bookshelves: Steve Branam’s “Hand Tool Basics.” This book is a great way to incorporate hand tools into your woodworking process. Step-by-step photos and explanations walk you through everything you need to know from sharpening tools to stock prep to joinery and more.

Simply post a comment below and I’ll choose one winner at random. Winner will be posted Monday 1/8/2018 (gotta get used to typing that new year).  Happy New Year everyone!
