For those who have dreamed about furniture-making but have been afraid to pick up a chisel or turn on a tablesaw, "Rough Cut Woodworking with Tommy Mac" is the answer. Famed woodworker Tommy MacDonald and with WGBH Boston have joined forces to produce a 12-episode television show by the same name.
This book features all 12 episodes, which include smaller projects like a Shaker Step Stool to larger undertakings like a Pilgrim Blanket Chest. All 12 traditional style pieces teach fundamental woodworking techniques in Tommy's encouraging and fun style and each features step-by-step instruction with photos, drawings, a materials list and skill-building techniques that focus on the fundamentals of woodworking.
