Book excerpt: Why are most of us so woefully uninformed about our kitchen knives? We are intimidated by our knives when they are sharp, annoyed by them when they are dull, and quietly ashamed that we don't know how to use them with any competence. For a species that has been using knives for nearly as long as we have been walking upright, that's a serious problem. An Edge in the Kitchen is the solution, an intelligent and delightful debunking of the mysteries of kitchen knives once and for all. If you can stack blocks, you can cut restaurant-quality diced vegetables. If you can fold a paper airplane, you can sharpen your knives better than many professionals. Veteran cook Chad Ward provides an in-depth guide to the most important tool in the kitchen, including how to choose the best kitchen knives in your price range, practical tutorials on knife skills, a step-by-step section on sharpening, and more——all illustrated with beautiful photographs throughout. Along the way you will discover what a cow sword is, and why you might want one; why chefs are abandoning their heavy knives in droves; and why the Pinch and the Claw, strange as they may sound, are in fact the best way to make precision vegetable cuts with speed and style. An Edge in the Kitchen is the one and only guide to the most important tool in the kitchen.

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-

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first step into a new craft can be overwhelming: Where to start? What tools to buy? What projects to begin with? Thanks to author and internationally acclaimed woodcarver Chris Pye, this guide is filled with everything a beginning woodcarver needs to know. Chris Pye's Woodcarving Course & Reference Manual is akin to having a one-on-one course with a master carver. You'll learn what to look for in a workbench, the importance of commissioning your carving tools – there's more to it than just sharpening! – and how to make exacting cuts and execute a variety of techniques. Like any good instructor, Pye includes practice exercises to make you comfortable with the tools and techniques so you can build your skills and carve with confidence. Pye's conversational teaching style will encourage you as you follow the step-by-step instructions and work on a number of motifs, as well as projects for low, high, and pierced relief, and in-the-round. With the help of Chris Pye, you'll learn to carve: four types of molding, a beautiful koi project in three levels of relief carving, a realistic baseball cap in-the-round, and a charming wren in-the-round.
