Popular Post lewisc Posted September 28, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I found a new saw today and just as I was about to pay, I looked over to the book shelf and saw this. From what i've read so far, it focuses on Marc's personal experience with the tools. It'll be great to have a resource that focuses on the experience of using tools and hopefully speed up some of my processes. I'm looking forward to using both! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkrusen Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yes very good book. Really nice focus on hand tool essentials coming from a power tool based shop. Is that a Veritas saw? Looks like it, but the handle is much darker than I've usually seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisc Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 That's the aim at the moment. Moving towards using hand tools for a few projects combined with the machines. Yeah, it's a Veritas. It's not as dark as the photo shows. I've done a few test cuts and I'm extremely happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Sweet score ! Is that the fine dovetail saw? I have two veritas saws and am really happy with both. I have never heard of that book or author, maybe I'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it will be an allrounder for now depending on how much I start using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
