(Dutton)
By Nick Offerman
This friend is a proper woodworker’s book. If
you are deep into craft with many years of experience, you will appreciate the
subtext of the writing and some of the fine details. If you have just been
bitten by the woodworking bug and are still at the dreaming stage of setting up
your shop, this will fire you up with enthusiasm to get on with it without
delay.
What’s more, on days when
you just can’t get into the shop (does that actually ever happen?) this
book will fill the void with tales of daring do and sawdust from some of the
coolest woodworkers in America. Nick’s style of writing is easy going and straight to the
point with a satisfying seasoning of well-timed humour throughout.
After an initial and very readable
introduction to essential tools and workshop set-up, there is a really good
section on the properties of wood and how boards are cut. Doesn’t sound like much, but
if you are new to the ways of the saw; this is devilishly useful info when you
want to sound convincing at the lumber yard.
Undoubtedly this is a terrific
book with some great original projects to pick up, either to do or to dream
about making in your own fashion. But more than that, it sets out in print what
the modern world of woodworking or making with wood is about. It’s a kick back at
conformity and the mass produced in favour of creativity and rediscovery of
craft skills. Not just for those lucky enough to make their living from working
with wood, but for the millions of us who enjoy freedom of expression made real
by our own hands.
