From the Back Cover

Improve the Speed and Accuracy of Your Handtools

When traditional woodworkers wanted to improve the speed,
accuracy, and repeatability of their work, they developed ingenious
jigs and fixtures such as shooting boards, a flexible straight edge, and
a grasshopper gauge. But the vast majority of those clever devices
eventually disappeared when powertool woodworking took over in
the 20th century.

The result? Anyone venturing into handtool woodworking
today can often experience unnecessary frustration because they are
unaware that simple shop-made aids can vastly improve their work.
Traditional Jigs & Fixtures for Handtools changes all that. It
re-introduces traditional user-made devices, expands upon those with
more recent adaptations, and even includes some manufactured items.
Most of the jigs and fixtures are simple to construct and use. And
once you've tried them in your shop, you'll quickly see they will make
all the difference between frustration and satisfying success in your
handtool woodworking.

Inside you'll discover:
- Over 150 original, handdrawn illustrations.
- Jigs and fixtures to improve holding, measuring, marking, sawing, planing, joinery, boring, assembly, and finishing.
- Detailed techniques for using each handmade device.
- A full bibliography and appendices, including an entire section on sharpening.
