For more than twenty-five years, Roy Underhill has taught the
techniques of traditional hand-tool woodworking. In six books and
on his popular, long-running PBS series, The Woodwright's Shop,
America's leading authority on old-time woodcraft has inspired
millions to take up chisel and plane.
This Omnibus Ebook brings together the first three books into a
collection of Woodwright classics. Designed for both woodworking
novices and for more seasoned woodworkers looking for enjoyable
projects, these books feature step-by-step instructions, complete
with easy-to-follow photographs and measured drawings.
