SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
There is no woodworking tool that's more satisfying, quick and precise to use as a handplane. Planes can process timber in its rough state, bring boards up to a glimmering smoothness, cut rabbets, dados, grooves and other joints, and trim wood with a precision that has yet to be matched by power tools. Yet many woodworkers- both beginners and professionals- are intimidated by choosing the right tool, sharpening its cutter and putting it to use. This work contains everything you need to choose the right tool for your budget and project, take it out of the box, sharpen it and use it successfully.
