Reviews

A rather esoteric woodworking technique, the ability to cut screw threads in wood allows advanced woodworkers to take their craft to the next level as well as to create a number of interesting all-wood projects. Holder shows several techniques for cutting threads using either an oversized tap-and-die set or a lathe. Practical applications include the creation of wooden nuts and bolts, threaded spindles that hold on tabletops, wooden boxes with screw tops, and joints for collapsible walking sticks. Holder's instructions, combined with colorful images, provide an excellent guide for experienced woodworkers. Not an essential purchase, it should nevertheless be considered by libraries serving patrons with extensive interest in woodworking.
