The Woodwright's Eclectic Workshop

Roy Underhill,Rod Underhill
Underhill's wit and charming style is exemplified by this quote about his work: 'How to start with a tree and an axe and make one thing after another until you have a house and everything in it.'

In this, his fourth book, he continues with his tales of traditional craftsmen of the past, and then moves to projects featured on his popular PBS series. All projects have full instructions and photographs.
