"With 900 step-by-step photographs & 365 line drawings, Frid shares every ingenious method and hard-won skill that he's found useful in 50 years of making furniture with emphasis on both hand tools and common woodworking machines.

In the 2nd of his three books on woodworking, Frid turns his attention to the techniques of his craft. In the same distinctive style that characterized his first book and with the aid of over 700 detailed illustrations, he teaches the essentials of bending (everything from building a steambox to working complicated bends), turning (spindle and faceplate turning, stacking and bricklaying, turning green wood), and veneering. He even demonstrates the intricacies of carving, inlaying and finishing.

Distilled into over 200 pages of step-by-step instructions is everything this master craftsman has learned in a lifetime as a cabinetmaker. All the fundamentals a beginner needs to know are here, along with methods complicated enough to challenge the most skilled craftsman.

Here is the long-awaited conclusion to Tage Frid's best-selling series on woodworking.

There are 18 projects in all, everything from Frid's distinctive three-legged stool to a grandmother clock, all presented in Frid's inimitable style. Techniques that are taught in the earlier books are carefully referenced while especially difficult or interesting steps are carefully illustrated and fully explained.
