The Stick Chair Book: Revised Edition

The truth is that everyday woodworkers – farmers, amateurs and people in other trades – made wonderful chairs using...

Alternatively using a cordless drill,...

Veritas Low Angle Spokeshave
The Veritas Spokeshave uses a basic traditional shape, not of the spokeshaves of the last century, but of the century before.
Until about 1900, the vast majority of spokeshaves were low-angle spokeshaves with wooden bodies. The blades were hand forged with upturned tangs that fitted into holes pierced in the body of the shave. Wedged in position, they were adjusted by tapping the ends of the...

Veritas Metric Bevel Setters
A sliding bevel is an excellent tool for transferring angles but not for reading them. This bevel setter allows you to set specific angles (from 0° to 60° in 1/2° increments) on a sliding bevel or a workpiece and to read angles already set. Both functions are useful for dovetailing, for machine set-up, for polygon work, or for accurately fitting a piece in a restricted location. Common dovetail...

Veritas Tabling Scribe
No matter how careful you are with layout and assembly, a legged project will almost always be wobbly. One way to ensure the project will sit properly without rocking is by tabling it; that is, placing the project on a fl at table (e.g., the top of a table saw), marking a consistent trimming line on each leg, and then cutting to this line. The Veritas Tabling Scribe simplifies this step, providing...

Sometimes when plugging holes, no matter how carefully drilled, the holes finish up slightly oversize for the plug, especially in soft woods. These Veritas cabinet maker's snug plug cutters overcome this by cutting a slightly tapered plug.
The first 3mm of the plug is the diameter stated whilst the remaining length is then flared out at an angle of 3°. Just tap the plug into place until you...
