Through sharp photos and drawings, readers will see how to set up a small, basic forge and anvil suitable for making their own tools. They will learn how to forge, heat-treat, and finish common woodworking tools through detailed, highly illustrated exercises. Larsen leads readers step-by-step through the creation of a heavy mortising chisel, a delicate skew chisel, and a curved carving gouge. Along the way, readers will learn dozens of little secrets and time-saving shortcuts that make small-scale tool-making both possible and fun.
