Inside this Book The Best Techniques...Woodworking Magazine teaches you the fundamental knowledge necessary for good craftsmanship. We feature the techniques, materials and tools that work best, so you can put them straight to use in your shop. Honest Tool Reviews...To guarantee that Woodworking Magazine is free of bias, you'll see no outside advertising in its pages. But you will find honest reviews of the tools you really need that other magazines ignore--like marking knives, rulers and combination squares. No-nonsense Shop Tricks...Woodworkers love practical shop tricks, so you'll find plenty of them in every issue. "Shortcuts" help you cut a few corners without cutting quality. They also make sure you get the best use of the tools you already have. Attractive and Practical Projects...We publish plans for classic projects that have stood the test of time, and we show you how to build them so they last forever. Detailed photos and in-depth instructions clearly show you each step--from making the first cut to choosing the best finish.
