For thirty years, Roy Underhill's PBS program, The Woodwright's Shop, has brought classic hand-tool craftsmanship to viewers across America. Now, in his seventh book, Roy shows how to engage the mysteries of the splitting wedge and the cutting edge to shape wood from forest to furniture.

Beginning with the standing tree, each chapter of The Woodwright's Guide explores one of nine trades of woodcraft: faller, countryman and cleaver, hewer, log-builder, sawyer, carpenter, joiner, turner, and cabinetmaker. Each trade brings new tools and techniques; each trade uses a different character of material; but all are united by the grain in the wood and the enduring mastery of muscle and steel.

Hundreds of detailed drawings by Eleanor Underhill (Roy's daughter) illustrate the hand tools and processes for shaping and joining wood. A special concluding section contains detailed plans for making your own foot-powered lathes, workbenches, shaving horses, and taps and dies for wooden screws.

The Woodwright's Guide is informed by a lifetime of experience and study. A former master craftsman at Colonial Williamsburg, Roy has inspired millions to just say no to power tools through his continuing work as a historian, craftsman, activist, and teacher. In The Woodwright's Guide, he takes readers on a personal journey through a legacy of off-the-grid, self-reliant craftsmanship. It's a toolbox filled with insight and technique as well as wisdom and confidence for the artisan in all of us.

Definitely worth it!!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
After completing one bottle, I have to say that I have noticed a difference in not just my short term memory, but overall, how I can focus throughout the day. I'm on my second bottle now.

I began Qunol Brain Health Memory Plus this year and am very pleased. I feel my memory is much better, although not perfect, I have more confidence while taking the product.

I was in a brain fog
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I've noticed I was in a brain fog for a few months so I decided to give this a try. On the very first day I noticed a difference of being a little less foggy. I took them around 8am & by about 10am I noticed a difference but it didn't last all day. By 8pm I was back to being foggy. Hopefully over time this will build up in my system & the unfogginess will last all day. Will update when the bottle is gone.

Don't Settle For Less
Format: Paperback
This book gave me the revelation and encouragement to get back what the enemy had stolen. Persistence is a key. This book increased my faith to receive God's promises for our lives. I learned to not be weary in well doing. My wife and I received much breakthrough. I sometimes revisit this book for a fresh reminder. This book is full of revelation and encouragement. It isn't just information but teaches you to put into practice a path to being an overcomer.
