WOODEN MACHINES? Is this guy CRAZY? See for yourself as he shows how to build an all-wood workbench with two vices, without metal screws or nails, using all-wood joinery - and two types of WOODTURNING LATHES, also from wood. A Native American from New England, he has worked with wood from a very young age, making tools and musical instruments (maker of Native American flutes since he was 13), both intricate and rudimentary, and both ancient and modern in design. Admitting he is no professional writer, he wrote this book from his heart. Written in plain language, Book One is a simple primer for the books of increasingly challenging projects to follow - the series covering a wide array of projects from making simple planes, clamps and other tools, to wooden machines with self lubricating wooden bearings. For all who wish to make something from wood, like tools, that in turn can make other things, this series is for those woodworking artists with a burning desire to create wonders. Over 150 photos and diagrams.
