With its clear instruction and wealth of color illustrations, this book is an easy-to-use, simple, commonsense guide to working with measuring tools. You'll learn what these tools are and what they do (a story pole, for example), how to use the tool properly (a mortise gauge, for example) and which tool to use for which procedure. You'll see how you can make many of the tools yourself. Measure Twice, Cut Once briefly covers the basic measuring concepts relating to human proportions necessary for building furniture and utility pieces. You'll then learn how to use classical or contemporary proportioning systems to ensure every piece you make looks right - and is usable and comfortable. A short, basic chapter on creating working drawings shows practical ways to draw everything from accurate sketches to full-scale plans in perspective. This book shows you how to skillfully develop cutting lists from plans, choose which saw will give you the best cut, use layout tools, lay out cuts and cut to the lines. In his twenty-plus years as a professional woodworker, author Jim Tolpin has discovered countless tricks of the trade, secrets for better results and better ways to work.
