Hybrid Woodworking: Blending Power & Hand Tools for Quick, Quality Furniture Description
A faster route to handcrafted results!
In the last few years, there's been a push to return to the roots of woodworking when every step was done with hand tools--from resawing lumber and planing it flat, to cutting joins and creating profiles. Working this way can produce beautiful results, but is it the best method for woodworking in the 21st century?
In Hybrid Woodworking, author and Internet woodworking star Marc Spagnuolo offers a more efficient approach that combines the strength of power-tool and hand-tool techniques. The end result: You save time and effort while producing furniture that still has that stunning handmade look.
The Hybrid System
Hybrid Woodworking will show you which machines and power tools are best for the grunt work of furniture making. It will explain which hand tools are essential for fine-tuning. And best of all, it will demonstrate techniques for working flawlessly and efficiently with every machine and tool in your shop.
Making beautiful furniture can be immensely gratifying. By adopting the hybrid woodworking system you can get to that satisfying end result with less effort while enjoying every step along the way.

I initially figured this book would be largely a rehash of what Marc's gone over in the various guild projects, but I bought it because I support his efforts and figured it would be a good reference. I was wrong - it was incredibly useful and packed much more information than what I've seen in the guild videos. The photos are very high quality and really reinforce the text (some techniques are very hard to describe in print, but seeing the pictures made them crystal clear). The writing is Marc's usual conversational style that is a pleasure to read. Whether you're a beginner or expert woodworker, you'll definitely get something out of this book - it even contains overviews of a few of the guild projects and how Marc incorporated the techniques described in the book. This is well worth your money.
And if you've never heard of Marc before, be sure to head over to www.woodwhisperer.com to check him out. Watch a few of the free videos. If the quality over there doesn't convince you to buy this book, nothing will.

The Wood Whisperer takes to print, and brings all the clarity and thoroughness shown in his on-line videos in a book format. A very thorough explanation of how the modern woodworker can combine power and hand tools to produce high quality woodworking projects. Lots of great pictures, along with Marc's clever writing, are the perfect starting point for anyone getting into woodworking or trying to further their skill set. Even an experienced woodworker will pick up useful knowledge from this well-written tome.
Marc provides a list of the "must-haves" for beginners (read the book to find out), but this book should be included on that list. Highly recommended for woodworkers and those looking to buy gifts for woodworkers.
