For more than ten years, Roy Underhill has taught the techniques of
traditional woodcraft, or 'how to start with a tree and an axe and
make one thing after another until you have a house and everything
in it.' Through his popular PBS series, "The Woodwright's Shop, '"
and his previous books, Roy has inspired millions--from
professional craftspeople to armchair woodworkers--with his talent,
knowledge, and enthusiasm.
Roy returns now with his fourth book, "The Woodwright's Eclectic
Workshop." It features step-by-step instructions for many projects
featured on the television series in recent years, including such
popular projects as the Adirondack chair, tavern table, folding
ladder, rocking horse, lathe, and kayak. All projects are
illustrated with photographs and measured drawings.
The book also includes colorful descriptions of what it was like to
be a tradesperson who made a living by hand, working with the tools
and methods Roy describes on television and in his books:
carpenters, joiners, wheelwright, millwrights, chairmakers, and
blacksmiths. As Roy puts it, he wants to examine 'the old paths in
the way that they were originally taken: not as adventuresome
recreations but a profession that put food on the table and clothes
on the kids.'
