"Many don't engage in woodworking because they falsely believe you need a large workshop and a full-blown collection of tools and equipment. This book is about eliminating this myth. All you need are a few essential tools, a little bit of space, and the desire to make something with your own two hands. Written by Vic Tesolin, aka the Minimalist Woodworker, a woodworker and woodworking instructor, a stress-free approach for the hobbyist that emphasizes the destination is actually the journey. How to make a small space productive and the most efficient tools for a woodworker. Each piece of equipment is explained and instructions on how to use are provided. Techniques for keeping them sharp and maintained are also explained. Once space and tools are covered, seven projects are presented: a saw bench and matching saw horse, a Nicholson-style workbench, a shooting board/bench hook, a shop mallet, and a small hanging cabinet. Each project not only develops woodworking skills, but also outfits your small shop. Vic Tesolin served in the Royal Canadian Army for 14 years in the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. Afterwards, he studied furniture design/making. Visit his website at minimalistwoodworker.com"--Provided by publisher.
