    CABINETMAKING: THE PROFESSIONAL APPROACH 2nd ed $27.95

    Devoted to design principles, influences, appreciation, and application, this fully illustrated manual presents a thoroughly unique approach to becoming a professional furniture maker and designer. The major part of the book is devoted to design principles, influences, appreciation and application for the self-employed craftsman, working either alone or in a partnership, or for the student or woodworker who wishes to start his own business. This section is fully illustrated with examples of work suitable for both batch production and one-off commission work, and these two aspects are discussed in full in two separate chapters. Nine designs are drawn to scale with elevations and plans and detailed cutting lists. A brief introduction is given to the craft furniture movement (Craftsman Furniture), the Cotswold School and the creative craftsmen of the period, followed by an outline of the Froxfield workshops and the author’s own training under Edward Barnsley. It continues with all the aspects of setting up and/or improving the workshop along with the tools and machinery that may be required for a variety of working situations. Business efficiency methods are also explored, including the available professional help such as accountants and solicitors who may ease the paperwork side of running a business, in addition to the promotional aspects—exhibitions, press coverage, gallery display, and photography—that are so essential to growth. Training through trade apprenticeships as well as formal training in specialist schools and technical colleges are given particular attention. This handbook is indispensable to any self-employed craftsman, student, or woodworker looking to start a business.

  • TURNING WOOD WITH CARBIDE TOOLS: Techniques and Projects for Every Skill Level

    Turning Wood with Carbide Tools cover $21.95
    $13.17

    Everything a woodturner needs to know about using and implementing the exciting new technology of replaceable carbide cutting tips is included in this guide. Woodturning tools have taken a quantum leap since the recent introduction of these tips that have greatly simplified the task of turning in dry stock. Carbide-tipped woodturning tools are safer, faster, easier, and more efficient than traditional tools that require grinding the end of a piece of fluted steel to one of dozens of subjective profiles. The technology of the carbide cutters is fully explained, as are the various shafts and the function of the handle designs, providing insight into how and why these cutters act as they do, and why they are shaped as they are. Removing the intimidating aspects of turning, the guide explains the elimination of sharpening, addresses the issues of chatter and fatigue, and advises on maintenance, techniques, and usage. A number of projects are included—such as a candlestick, spinning tops, and a basic bowl—that can be completed right away by novice turners, rather than waiting for years to gain enough experience to do the same job with traditional tools.
