Description
This article provides a guide to the care and use of Japanese woodworking tools. It covers saws, planes, chisels, marking gauges, and stones. The guide is written for the woodworker or hobbyist, and is detailed with line drawings and concise how-to explanations.
Japanese tools are manufactured to perform at the high level top craftspeople demand, but they work differently from Western tools-saws cut on the pull, not the push-and need to be properly maintained to provide decades of useful service. Covering four major tool categories-plus sharpening stones-the authors guide the woodworker or hobbyist step by step, using detailed line drawings and concise how-to explanations.
