Euclid's Door - Geo. R. Walker and Jim Tolpin

Euclid's Door - Building the Tools of "By Hand & Eye". Authors, Geo. R. Walker and Jim Tolpin

Euclid's Door: Building the Tools of "By Hand & Eye" is an illustrated how-to journey through building the ancient tools that still help us to build, well, everything today. You will learn how to use basic, easy-to-follow artisan geometry to make eight indispensable wooden layout tools – tools found in every cabinetmaker’s tool chest – that you can then use to build furniture (or houses). Plus, you'll learn how to tune them up to an incredibly high level – techniques you can use in all your work.

You will discover the truths of geometry in three dimensions on your workbench – a much better way to grasp the secrets of our craft than words alone can convey. The process of making these tools results in much more than the tools themselves (which are in themselves quite amazing). The tools are teachers that take you on a journey into the secrets of artisan geometry. They develop skills important to the craft. These builds equip both the imagination and the hands.
