Host Christopher Schwarz starts off by asking the question, "Why use Hand Tools?" A fair question that he quickly answers by extolling the benefits of traditional woodworking tools — blended with some of the niceties of power tools. Those benefits include a healthier work environment, fewer jigs and test cuts, and accuracy to within .001". In Mastering Hand Tools, Chris introduces you to the basic hand tool skills to turn you into a woodworker equally comfortable in either the powered or hand tool world — and offer the best results from each world. Watch along as Chris offers advice on selecting hand tools, shares tips for set-up and puts the tools to work.
