Making Fine Furniture: Perfect Results with Power Tools | |
Visitors to my showroom often tell me they dabble in woodworking. My response is always: "why not do it properly?" | |
 | These opening sentences to Peter Anderson's book make clear his conviction that the easily-affordable power tools now available to amateur woodworkers offer a fast route to high standards of craftsmanship. His views stem from the ability of power tools to produce accurate cuts, straight edges, flat surfaces and precision joinery time after time, with a minimum of practice or physical effort. High-quality tools now require only a modest investment, and their advantages are invaluable to people who have not spent years developing hand skills. |
In the first half of his book, Peter Anderson explains every aspect of woodworking that a newcomer to the craft needs to know - from how to buy suitable lumber and how lumber reacts with its environment, to a thorough explanation of every power tool and hand tool the new craftsman will need to build furniture like the pieces shown on this website. In the second half of the book, Peter Anderson takes the reader step-by-step through the process of building three items of his furniture—a chest of drawers, his small bookcase, and the end/bedside table. | |
