Book Synopsis How to Sharpen Carving Tools by : Richard Bütz
Download or read book How to Sharpen Carving Tools written by Richard Bütz and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 1997 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two tomes for almost every woodworking collection take solid approaches to their subjects. By executing the 15 projects the Bridgewaters propose, you can create 'instant antiques' that some finishing expertise could make indistinguishable from 'real' antiques. Most of the 15 require very few materials and could be done by the average weekend warrior in an afternoon. A couple, however, do require patience and skill and ought to be thoroughly checked out to avoid getting in over one's head. The book's discrete section of color photographs is welcome, although a single photo of each finished project in the chapter about it would have been more convenient. The Butzes' book might appeal more broadly if it covered sharpening saw blades and bits. But experienced woodworkers know that sharp tools are better and safer, and the techniques of sharpening the tools associated with woodcarving and lathe work are essential, so there is the audience--carvers and wood turners who want to know well how to sharpen their chisels and gouges. The many photographs of sharpening processes further help prevent average woodworkers from ruining their tools' edges--something worth several times the cost of the book. - Jon Kartman; 96p-

Book Synopsis Notes from the Garden by : Henry Homeyer
Download or read book Notes from the Garden written by Henry Homeyer and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2003 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hands-on gardener, Henry Homeyer gives practical advice on how to garden, whether building a hot box, transplanting peonies, defeating the deer, growing ladyslipper orchids and shiitake mushrooms, or keeping the birds out of the berry bushes. Each month covers a range of topics relevant to the season: starting seedlings, edging and mulching, gardening with children, getting rid of invasive plants, pruning , planting shrubs for attracting and feeding birds, putting the garden to bed, growing houseplants, . . . These are just a few of Homeyer's 69 short "reflections and observations" on matters of interest to amateur, dedicated, and armchair gardeners alike. Homeyer grew up in the 1950s learning about organic gardening from a grandfather who used manure tea and compost, not 10-10-10, herbicides, and DDT. For him, organic gardening is not a political position, but a common sense approach to having the best soil and the healthiest plants. Of special relevance to denizens of zones 3-5, the climatic belt which includes New England and runs across southern Canada and west to the Rockies, each of the twelve chapters (one for each month) contains several pieces combining technical information, practical tips, personal reflections, and more than a little humor. An unusual feature is Homeyer's interviews with other gardeners. Meet Joe Mooney, the aging wizard of turf at Fenway Park. Spend an afternoon in the garden with Jamaica Kincaid. Visit Jean and Wes Cate, growers of heirloom vegetables at Fox Run Farm. Learn more about the White House gardens from chief horticulturist Dale Haney. Or marvel at Marguerite Tewksbury, an 85-year-old organic gardener who single-handedly runs a farm stand, drives her 1950 Ford Ferguson tractor, and weeds her 6,000-square-foot vegetable patch with a full-sized rototiller. "She doesn't say that keeping active and eating organically keeps her healthy and vigorous, but I have a feeling that it does," writes Homeyer.
