| | | | | Increase Your Woodworking Skills with These Books | | The Anarchist's Design Book Book Review by J. Norman Reid The Anarchist's Design Book, the latest book by Chris Schwarz, once again breaks new ground in the field of woodworking literature. It is, as its title states, a design book. But Schwarz delivers far more than a selection of designs.
He introduces us in a structured way to vernacular furniture, the stuff common folks made and used daily, as an alternative to the more ornate and stylized pieces that populate museums and adorn the homes of the wealthy.
Along the way, he seizes many opportunities to teach alternative methods of building the designs he presents, bringing them within reach of woodworkers at practically all levels of experience.

Instructor Tom Calisto usually teaches saw-building at Roy Underhill's Woodwright's School, but he is at Highland next month! In 2 days Tom will guide you through crafting your own saw that will slice through wood as well as any on the market. Beginning with a rough tote, precision milled brass back, brass saw nuts and a blank spring steel saw plate you will transform these components into a high end saw.
