  • A Fascinating Overview
This is an excellent description of the Japanese approach to woodworking. I am thoroughly enjoying this introduction despite the fact that I will never achieve the status of a Japanese woodworker. However, I am engaged to advance my skills significantly.

Lots of information about Japanese pull saws. Not much on how exactly to use them correctly though.

  • Excellent Reference for anyone new to Japanese Tools or as a refresher.
I bought this book the first time about five years ago when I first became interested in Japanese woodworking.

In the ensuing years since, I have gone WAY past the slippery slope and am buried in the tools, joinery and culture. :o) My biggest issues now are finding books at a much higher level for both the tools and the joinery. However, even with that I still come back to Kip & Ron's book as a refresher and really enjoy it. ... show more

  • Overpriced
Two posts below this one the exact same book is on sale for 15 dollors unless this comes with chisel and saw I don't see how you have the nerve to sell for 68$
