To produce quality work in an efficient manner, Guidice contends that woodworkers need to be proficient in seven essential skills: joint making, measuring and marking, sawing to a line, sharpening, using hand planes, making mortise-and-tenon joints, and wood finishing. This philosophy may be hard to swallow for woodworkers with a shop full of power tools, but sometimes bitter medicine is most effective. Many of Guidice's methods are based on techniques that would be covered during a traditional European apprenticeship you must have a few quality tools and learn to use them very, very well. Guidice is an excellent teacher, but readers like apprentices everywhere must do their part and practice to be proficient. Required reading for every woodworker, this is an essential purchase.
