Woodworkers who have never worked with a really sharp tool are missing out on some of the pleasure that working with wood can be.
Ron Hock explains how (hand) tools get and stay sharp. Because sharp tools not only make work easier and more pleasant, but also safer.
After a thorough material knowledge of steel and the mode of action of abrasives, Hock describes the basic conditions under which tools can cut wood well. Basic sharpening tools and materials are explained and discussed.
The following chapters each deal with a group of tools: planes, chisels, scrapers, hand saws, carving tools, turning tools, axes, knives and drills. Each of these chapters shows solutions to the special requirements of the respective tool.
