Well-sharpened planes and chisels may be the most important tools in the woodworking shop. They can be used to make a rough board flat and smooth, to cut slickly fitting joints or to shape a delicate edge, In this collection of 29 articles reprinted from Fine Woodworking magazine, expert craftsmen explain how they choose, sharpen and use every kind of plane and chisel. There's advice on tool maintenance, plus plans for making your own wooden-bodied planes, and a thorough discussion of sharpening.
