Improve Your Handtool Woodworking with Traditional Jigs!
When traditional woodworkers wanted to improve the speed, accuracy and
repeatability of their work, they developed clever jigs and fixtures
such as shooting boards, a flexible straight edge and a grasshopper
gauge. But the vast majority of those aids were user-made and
disappeared from sight when power tool woodworking took over in the 20th
century.
The result? Beginning hand-tool woodworkers today often experience
unnecessary frustration because they don't know that simple shop-made
aids can vastly improve their work.
Hand Tool Jigs & Fixtures changes all that. It reintroduces
traditional user-made devices, unveils others author Graham Blackburn
grew up with, and expands upon those with more recent adaptations and
even some manufactured items.
Most of the user-made jigs are simple to construct and use. And once
you've tried them in your shop you'll quickly see they will make all the
difference between frustration and success in your woodworking.
