Produktbeschreibung

Rediscover the joy of hand tools and the quiet satisfaction of working unplugged. In a world dominated by power tools and fast results, this inspiring guide invites woodworkers to slow down and reconnect with the craft through traditional hand-tool techniques. With a focus on precision, patience, and artistry, The Unplugged Workshop offers a collection of beautiful, functional projects designed to be built entirely by hand. Author and craftsman Tom Fidgen shares his philosophy of woodworking as a meditative, skill-building practice, along with detailed plans for furniture and shop projects that emphasize joinery, proportion, and timeless design. Inside you'll find:

• Step-by-step instructions for building tables, cabinets, benches, and more
• Techniques for sawing, planing, chiseling, and joinery without machines
• Guidance on setting up a hand-tool-only workshop
• Full-color photos and measured drawings to support every project

Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or just beginning your journey, this book will help you build not only beautiful pieces-but also a deeper connection to your craft.
