For thirty years, Roy Underhill's PBS program, The Woodwright's Shop, has brought classic hand-tool craftsmanship to viewers across America. Now, in his seventh book, Roy shows how to engage the mysteries of the splitting wedge and the cutting edge to shape wood from forest to furniture.Beginning with the standing tree, each chapter of The Woodwright's Guide explores one of nine trades of woodcraft: faller, countryman and cleaver, hewer, log-builder, sawyer, carpenter, joiner, turner, and cabinetmaker. Each trade brings new tools and techniques; each trade uses a different character of material; but all are united by the grain in the wood and the enduring mastery of muscle and steel.Hundreds of detailed drawings by Eleanor Underhill (Roy's daughter) illustrate the hand tools and processes for shaping and joining wood. A special concluding section contains detailed plans for making your own foot-powered lathes, workbenches, shaving horses, and taps and dies for wooden screws.The Woodwright's Guide is informed by a lifetime of experience and study. A former master craftsman at Colonial Williamsburg, Roy has inspired millions to "just say no to power tools" through his continuing work as a historian, craftsman, activist, and teacher. In The Woodwright's Guide, he takes readers on a personal journey through a legacy of off-the-grid, self-reliant craftsmanship. It's a toolbox filled with insight and technique as well as wisdom and confidence for the artisan in all of us.

At this time of writing, The Mobi The Woodwright’s Guide: Working Wood with Wedge and Edge has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

From what I understand, this book is almost a compilation of some of Roy Underhill's other works. This is my first of his books so I cannot be offended if some of the info is rehash. I've slowly come to like, but not love, Roy's show the Woodwright's Shop, so I though that I would give the book a try.Woodworking with "wedge and edge." I suppose every woodworker realizes that when dealing with wood you are either cutting it's fibres or splitting them. I did, but the book actually brought that line of thinking/idea into true clarity to me for the first time. This really did change the way I saw, use a chisel, and even use power tools, so at that the book helped a great deal.Much of the book centers of the process of creating furniture from tree to finished product. It is less of a how-to book and uses a bit of storytelling to get the knowledge across, which worked for me though some may not enjoy it as much. Towards the end of the book there are plans for a workbench and a lathe that I thought could have been more clearly presented. The workbench in particular interested me, I just didn't care for the plans.Overall I liked the book though I'm not overly sure if I would purchase another book by Roy Underhill. Other reviewers on Amazon and other sites have stated that this book is quite similar to prior books of his. As I said, I thought it was enjoyable and I learned from it, but I wouldn't pay for it twice.
