Everything you need to use your handsaws! There is no woodworking tool that's more satisfying, quick, and precise to use as a handsaw.

Handsaw Basics contains everything you need to choose the right tool for your budget and projects, take it out of the box, sharpen it, and use it successfully. The chapters in this book have been compiled from more than 10 years of the author's writing on the subject of handsaws in magazines, trade journals, and blogs.
