Hybrid Woodworking by Marc Spagnuolo

Hybrid Woodworking : Blending Power & Hand Tools For Quick, Quality Furniture. Author, Marc Spagnuolo

Hybrid Woodworking by Marc Spagnuolo (The Wood Whisperer) presents a fresh approach to woodworking and furniture making. Striving to show the most efficient ways to utilize both power tools and hand tools in the furniture building process, this woodworking guide recommends the right tools for every step along the way. Not only will you learn which tools are best for which tasks, but you will also find tips for how to use, maintain, and fine tune them. Whether you are a hand tool woodworking devotee or prefer to use power tools in your furniture making endeavors, you're sure to find validity in the merits and efficiency offered by the hybrid woodworking system.

Marc encourages you to enhance your current shop with hand tools, rather than replace existing power tools. The book also walks you through several projects to show you how to integrate hand tools and power tools when you start implementing the hybrid woodworking system!

In Hybrid Woodworking You Will Find:

• Plenty of woodworking techniques & tips for using hand tools to enhance existing power tools & thus make your furniture making experiences more efficient
• Overviews of 4 projects Marc has completed himself to illustrate how both power tools and hand tools fit into the furniture building process
• An overview of what Marc dubs the Hand-Tool Renaissance or a discussion of the current state of online woodworking
