Paperback. Zustand: Good. "An important book, brimming with insight."?Nicholas Evans, author of The Horse Whisperer A master craftsperson explores the ways in which working with our hands reveals the essence of both our humanity and our relationship with the natural, material world.In our present age of computer-assisted design, mass production and machine precision, the traditional skills of the maker or craftsperson are hard to find. Yet the desire for well-made and beautiful objects from the hands (and mind) of a skilled artisan is just as present today as it ever has been. Whether the medium they work with is wood, metal, clay or something else, traditional makers are living links to the rich vein of knowledge and skills that defines our common human heritage. More than this, though, many of us harbor a deep and secret yearning to produce something ? to build or shape, to imagine and create our own objects that are imbued not only with beauty and functionality, but with a story and, in essence, a spirit drawn from us.Nick Kary understands this yearning. For nearly four decades he has worked on commission to make fine, distinctive furniture and cabinets from wood, most of it sourced near his home, in the counties of South West England. During this time, he has been both a teacher and a student; one who is fascinated with the philosophy and practice of craft work of all kinds.In Material, Kary takes readers along with him to visit some of the places where modern artisans are preserving, and in some cases passing on, the old craft skills. His vivid descriptions and eye for detail make this book a rich and delightful read, and the natural and cultural history he imparts along the way provides an important context for understanding our own past and the roots of our industrial society.Personal, engaging, and filled with memorable people, landscapes and scenes, Material is a rich celebration of what it means to imagine and create, which in the end is the essence of being human, and native to a place. As Kary puts it, ?Wood and words, trees and people, material and ethereal ? it is here I love increasingly to dwell.?Perfect for fans of The Hidden Life of Trees or Norwegian Wood, Material is a rich, inspiring read for woodworkers, potters, craftspeople, bibliophiles and anyone who enjoys working with their hands.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. As the popularity and convenience of power tools relegate traditional hand tools to a distant shelf in the workshop, a well-tuned handplane will always have a place on the workbench of today's woodworker. No matter how big or how powerful one's shop machines are, they can't compare to the accessibility and versatility of the handplane. With a well-chosen and correctly maintained set of planes, a woodworker can handle any type of wood in every woodworking situation. Woodworker's Guide to Handplanes teaches woodworkers how to choose, maintain, and use this indispensable hand tool. This essential reference outlines the important differences among all the major styles and explains the many nuances of each, from the standard Stanley-Bailey-Record planes and traditional wood-bodied planes to the contemporary designs from Veritas, Lie-Nielsen, and Clifton. This book also details how any woodworker can make-and precisely tune-their own wood-bodied plane along with the fixtures needed to maximize its performance. With a thoroughness that reflects his passion for this time-honored hand tool, author and professional woodworker Scott Wynn evaluates and compares handplanes from all of the world's great woodworking traditions. He analyzes the six common elements and explains how these critical characteristics work together to create craftsmanship. Best of all, this intelligent book features more than 300 original drawings and 200 photos that are as technically rich as they are beautiful. BONUS: Includes plans and instructions for making shooting boards and a full set of Western and Japanese-style planes. Endorsement: This is the handplane book I have been seeking for 30 years. A woodworking library would be incomplete without this textbook. Ernie Conover Master Woodworker, Conover Workshops.…
