In this one-of-a-kind treasury of carpentry wisdom, the New Yankee Workshop's Norm Abram celebrates the tradition of his craft and hands down the secrets he has learned in more than thirty years as a master carpenter.

Norm Abram's down-to-earth practicality and good sense have inspired millions 0f people - men and women, adults and children - to turn their own hands to home repair, renovation, and furniture making. Now, in this little handbook, Norm distils a lifetime of experience into seventy short, simple lessons. From what kind of pencil to use (a thick-leaded carpenter's pencil is best for framing) to drilling an exploratory hole without damaging plumbing or wiring (use a short length of coat-hanger wire rather than a drill bit), here is an indispensable compendium of brass- tacks advice and tried-and-true tricks 0f the trade. With his quiet authority and plainspoken charm, Norm shares his delight in the humble plumb bob and offers cautionary advice about the unexpected inaccuracies of tape measure

A.Orders can be collected from our family run DIY shop, but this is strictly by prior arrangement.
