Back by popular demand, these classic woodworking titles from Fine Woodworking magazine are filled with first-rate information that is as timeless now as it was when first published.

There's no end to the things people make out of wood, even today when so many other easy-to-work materials abound. There is furniture, of course, and toys and sculpture and houses. But there's so much more as well, as this collection of 27 articles from Fine Woodworking magazine makes wonderfully clear. Experienced craftsmen tell you how they make everything from fishing rods and microscopes to barrels, picture frames and staircases.

Since it began publication in 1975, Fine Woodworking has written about practically every aspect of the craft. The ''''Fine Woodworking on...'' series organizes many of the articles from the magazine into individual volumes by subject. Each book in this series offers an in-depth look at a particular aspect of woodworking, from the perspective of skilled professional and dedicated amateur woodworkers.
