Description

Learn the art of hand-crafted carpentry in this detailed guide to Japanese woodworking tools.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. Read more

    • 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. With no offense meant to the other reviewer, this book helped me tremendously back then as it kept everything very simple. 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
