Recenzii
This is the vade mecum I have been seeking for 30 years. Not just another book of pretty pictures, Scott Wynn focuses his architect’s drawing abilities on the why, how and wherefore of all the planes useful to modern woodworkers. Such simple and concise instruction only comes along occasionally and future generations will be the richer for it. A woodworking library would be incomplete without this textbook.
Scott Wynn has been designing and making furniture since 1975; you can see samples of his work here; none too shabby. He's also a licensed Contractor and an Architect. And, judging from the drawings that he's done for this book, he's quite the talented illustrator.
A quick initial thumb through the book got my saliva flowing. There are a lot of excellent photos of all manner of hand planes, but what really caught my eye were the illustrations. Over 300 of them pepper the book. The writing style is crisp and clean. And, at 317 pages, this is a hefty book that covers just about every aspect of hand planing, with a focus on the more commonly used planes.
There is a very interesting section on the differences between smoothing with sandpaper and hand planes, a section on the different types of steel use in plane blades, and an excellent and very detailed discourse on plane anatomy. Wynn then covers, in consummate detail, the nature of some of the most commonly used hand planes. After reading these sections you'll be in a much better position to go out and purchase your first set of planes. The book is rounded out with sections on fine tuning and sharpening planes, how to use planes for common planing tasks, how to make and use shooting boards, and how to make wood bodied planes.
If you're new to woodworking, and think that you might want to begin using hand planes at some point in time, then get this book. For the life of me, I can't see that you'd be disappointed with it. Ditto for anyone who has been working wood, but still feels uncomfortable using hand planes. There might even be some tidbits of information here that seasoned woodworkers can benefit from. - Carl DuGuay, ToolReviews.ca

Textul de pe ultima copertă
As the popularity and convenience of power tools relegate traditional hand tools to a distant shelf in the workshop, a well-tuned handplane will always have a place on the workbench of today's woodworker. No matter how big or how powerful one's shop machines are, they can't compare to the accessibility and versatility of the handplane. With a well-chosen and correctly maintained set of planes, a woodworker can handle any type of wood in every woodworking situation. Woodworker's Guide to Handplanes teaches woodworkers how to choose, maintain, and use this indispensable hand tool. This essential reference outlines the important differences among all the major styles and explains the many nuances of each, from the standard Stanley-Bailey-Record planes and traditional wood-bodied planes to the contemporary designs from Veritas, Lie-Nielsen, and Clifton. This book also details how any woodworker can make-and precisely tune-their own wood-bodied plane along with the fixtures needed to maximize its performance. With a thoroughness that reflects his passion for this time-honored hand tool, author and professional woodworker Scott Wynn evaluates and compares handplanes from all of the world's great woodworking traditions. He analyzes the six common elements and explains how these critical characteristics work together to create craftsmanship. Best of all, this intelligent book features more than 300 original drawings and 200 photos that are as technically rich as they are beautiful. BONUS: Includes plans and instructions for making shooting boards and a full set of Western and Japanese-style planes. Endorsement: "This is the handplane book I have been seeking for 30 years. A woodworking library would be incomplete without this textbook." Ernie Conover Master Woodworker, Conover Workshops
