The Woodwright’s Apprentice

Roy Underhill

Reviewed by:

The fifth of Roy Underhill’s books includes twenty projects and a chapter on sharpening. There are also appendices on tool groups, mail order suppliers, and a compete list of all projects in the series. The latter is quite useful if you know what you want to make but can’t remember which book included it. Projects include a folding workbench, tool tote, bellows, and many more things you probably need around your house and shop but did not yet realize were missing. Where’s your gunpowder shovel? As always, Roy is the ultimate galoot and tells you how to make all you need without resorting to electricity.
