There are few joys greater than successfully completing a woodworking project that will be enjoyed for generations to come. But the path to success is fraught with risk, and nothing spoils the pleasure of woodworking faster than making a mistake - cutting a frame member too short, putting a gouge in a tabletop, applying the finish too thick. Fortunately, help is on the way. In this book, veteran furniture maker and author Sandor Nagyszalanczy presents a comprehensive - and candid - collection of strategies for overcoming hundreds of woodshop blunders. The first seven chapters of the book focus on fixing mistakes. You will learn how to stretch parts accidentally cut too short and compensate for miscut parts by changing hardware or adding trim. You'll also find out how to improve the fit of poorly cut joints, repair dents and cracks, straighten warped doors and cope with finish failures. The last three chapters of the book focus on avoiding mistakes in the first place by following sound tactics and practices when you design, take measurements, cut and machine wood, and assemble and finish your project. |
