Now Shipping: Saw Sharpening Book
& Roman Workbench Video

After a long dry spell (five months), we finally have two new products in our store that we have been working on for a long time (nine years on the saw sharpening book!).

"Set & File: A Practical Guide to Saw Sharpening" by Matt Cianci is in our warehouse and shipping. It is $32. If you buy it before July 1, you will receive a free pdf download of the book at checkout. This book shows you saw teeth like you've never seen them before: up close. Matt Cianci, a long-time saw doctor, has a practical way to teach saw sharpening that anyone can do (I watched teach this last weekend).

If you've ever been frustrated by old texts about saw sharpening, this book will set you straight (pun intended).

More About the Book

"Video: Build a Roman Workbench." This video shows you how to build the most portable, compact, inexpensive and easy-to-use workbenches available. Made from about $45 in dimensional lumber and scraps, these benches allow you to make cabinets, chairs and tables while sitting down.

These benches are ideal for apartment woodworkers – or anyone who has limited shop space (the bench can double as a coffee table). It's also ideal for woodworkers who travel, who like to work outside or have mobility issues.

The video is now $35 – a special introductory offer. After July 1, it will be $60. The video includes downloadable construction drawings and a packet of additional information on workholding.

More new books (and tools) coming soon.
