One of the keys to creating a successful woodworking project is to have the right tools at your disposal. Sure, you could make a project with a hammer and a hacksaw, but you would have a very hard time achieving the precise cuts and fits that are possible with tools such as jointers, joiners and planers, not to mention the wide variety of specialty saws. Woodworking is a precision craft these days, and if you are going to successfully compete with the quality of work of other students or other artisans, you will need to know your way around a wood shop.

In this series of carpentry lesson videos, our expert wood craftsman will give you a tour of the tools in his show, along with a brief demonstration. You will learn what tools to use in what situations. What is a planer used for? What is a biscuit joiner used for? Should I use the table saw or the chop saw? Our expert gives you the answer to these and many more questions in this excellent series for future furniture makers and finish carpenters.
