About
Kids and grownups alike can learn the tricks and skills needed to make wooden puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. Building projects with "tight tolerances" is one of the most difficult and useful tasks a hand-tool woodworker can master. You'll be amazed at the precision you can accomplish with hand tools. Learn to use:
- Measuring and marking tools.
- Japanese saw.
- Block planes.
- Chisels.
You'll be able to apply the skills you learn to any future projects that require accuracy.
