Libro entretenido y recomendado para quien, como yo, está empezando en este mundillo. Está dividido en 3 secciones: Herramientas, técnicas y proyectos. La de herramientas no me ha aportado mucho a lo que ya sabía por vídeos de youtube, únicamente me ha servido la parte en que explica como afilar la cuchilla de ebanista. Por otro lado la segunda parte es la más instructiva. Varios autores van explicando técnicas y truquillos que son muy útiles. Finalmente la última sección está dedicada a explicar el modo de realizar varios proyectos. Para mí los más interesantes son el de la caja de herramientas japonesa y la de los artilugios para cepillar.
En definitiva, es un libro que no aporta gran cosa, pero que sí tiene trucos y consejos útiles que enriquecen tu conocimiento carpinteril.

This is a good start for anyone wanting to improve their hand tool game. Another good addition to my workshop bookshelf.

it's a decent book, very detailed, but when they said hand tools I thought it was about like, hammer and nails, a saw, etc.
