2nd Revised Edition
2nd Revised Edition
This is the third edition of this book.
By Christopher Schwarz
You don't have to be a highly skilled woodworker to make a chair. And you don't have to be insanely wealthy to own a nice one, either.
The truth is that everyday woodworkers – farmers, amateurs and people in other trades – made wonderful chairs using common woodworking tools and whatever wood was available:...
The Tool Chest of Benjamin Seaton
This important publication describes a unique set of over 200 tools from the late eighteenth century, giving an extraordinary insight into the trade practices of the time. The tools were bought by Joseph Seaton for his son Benjamin but were hardly used - instead they survive intact, with an original inventory recording the prices paid at Christopher Gabriel's London toolshop, and can be seen in...

Tormek Small Knife Holder
The Tormek Small Knife Holder SVM-00 opens up the possibility to sharpen those really small knife blades, which up until now have been difficult to sharpen.
Normally small knives have been sharpened free-hand but every time it was a challenge to get a consistent shape and almost impossible to control the edge angle.
The holder works together with the Tormek Knife Jig SVM-45.
You can sharpen...

Veritas Basic Grinding Set
The Grinding Jig works with any power or hand grinder that has a tool rest. The back plate is offset for short chisels, such as Japanese or western butt chisels. The brass clamping bolts have nylon washers to prevent galling; other parts are made from hard aluminum, further hardened by anodizing to prevent wear. High-friction pads ensure solid clamping without inadvertent misalignment. Fits most tool...
Veritas Bench Hold Down
The Veritas hold-down can clamp workpieces to a bench or anywhere a 3/4" hole can be drilled.
Exceptionally high clamping forces can be obtained with this hold-down for two reasons. First, with the arm free to pivot independently, all levered forces are exerted downward, without any losses due to horizontal slippage from the canting action of the hold-down post. Second, the fine barb-shaped grooves...
Veritas Combination Plane
Originally created to replace stacks of hollow and round wooden planes, combination planes are defined by their flexibility. The Veritas® Combination Plane is no exception; only this one is designed with better adjustment and feed mechanisms for easy and accurate blade setting, and incorporates features to prevent blade vibration, making it reliable in use. It will tackle fundamental joinery,...

The saw has a 275mm (11") long by 0.5mm thick high-carbon steel blade filed crosscut at 14tpi. The teeth have a rake angle of 15°, an included angle of 60° with alternate 15° bevels to efficienlty sever wood fibres rather than tear. The depth of cut is 60mm. The back of this saw is injection moulded under high pressure onto the blade and stainless-steel handle-mounting bolt. This forms a solid...
Veritas Dovetail Saw
When we first saw this saw (!) we were a bit dubious but it has quickly grown on us. It is very comfortable. it is very affordable, it cuts well and can be re-sharpened. Not for the purists maybe but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is what those clever chaps from Veritas say about this saw....
The Veritas dovetail saw is an innovative blend of tradition and technology. It incorporates...
Veritas Dual Marking Gauge
The Veritas Dual Marking Gauge has two independently adjustable rods, which will allow you to set two measurements at once, so you can quickly alternate between them when transferring or marking repetitive dimensions. Projection up to 5-3/4" is easy to set, since an internal O-ring keeps light but constant friction on each rod; a thumbscrew firmly locks rods in place.
Like other Veritas marking...
Veritas Edge-Trimming Planes
Edge-trimming planes are used for final trimming cuts on jointed boards to ensure smooth edges at exactly 90° to the face, and for working end grain. In many instances you will need only one model; the appropriate choice is often based on which of your hands is dominant.
However, neither model is exclusively for left or right handed users, as the planes are in fact complementary. Having both...
Veritas Fine Cut Dovetail Saw (20tpi)
The Veritas Fine Cut Dovetail Saw (20tpi) is best for stock of less than half an inch thick, this finer version of the standard Dovetail saw would complement your existing saw armoury.

Veritas Hardware Kits for Wooden Spokeshaves
Traditional wooden spokeshaves are still popular tools, despite modern alternatives that offer better control over depth of cut.
Typical spokeshave blades have tangs that wedge into holes in the tool body. Cut depth is adjusted by tapping the tang ends or the base of the blade. Many users find ways to refine this haphazard process, but most require a screwdriver or other tool, or the blade must...
Veritas Low Angle Spokeshave
The Veritas Spokeshave uses a basic traditional shape, not of the spokeshaves of the last century, but of the century before.
Until about 1900, the vast majority of spokeshaves were low-angle spokeshaves with wooden bodies. The blades were hand forged with upturned tangs that fitted into holes pierced in the body of the shave. Wedged in position, they were adjusted by tapping the ends of the...
Veritas Low-Angle Smoothing Plane + PM-V11 Blade
The Veritas low-angle smooth plane has three key uses. It is used to smooth large surfaces, preferably taking a diagonal cut, partly across and partly along the grain. Similarly, with its generous sides, it is ideal for shooting mitres. Finally, it is excellent for end-grain work. The low cutting angle of 37° minimizes fibre tearing. With a bed angle of 12°, this is a "bevel-up"...

Veritas Plane Screwdriver
A regular screwdriver just doesn't work well on cap iron screws. A narrow blade can mar the cap-screw slot, and there's always the risk that the screwdriver tip will slip out of the slot altogether. Veritas have designed this screwdriver to make it both safe and easy to remove, replace or adjust cap irons.
It has a turned brass collar surrounding the tip to capture the head of a cap iron screw...
Veritas PM-V11 Bench Chisels
Precision made in Veritas' own machine shop, these bench chisels are milled from PM-V11 steel (Rc61-63), an innovative proprietary alloy. This metal's micro-structure makes it extremely durable, so it can withstand the impact of heavy chopping cuts without chipping or deforming as readily as other tool steels, even at bevel angles as low as 20°. Highly wear resistant, the edge typically...

Available individually and as a set including 35mm, 60mm and 85mm squares – each a compact, lightweight tool that fits into a pocket, comes to hand nicely, and is easy to...
Veritas Set-Up Blocks - 9 Piece Metric Set
Setting up machines in the shop can be a frustrating and inaccurate undertaking. Tape measures and rulers are difficult to use when measuring gaps between curved bits and guide fences. Worse, machines often require two hands to adjust, leaving nothing to hold the measuring tool. The Veritas set-up blocks help solve this problem. Simply place the appropriate block or combination of blocks between the...
Veritas Shooting Board
The 24" long shooting track fits the Veritas shooting plane.
This is a shooting board that doesn’t limit you to one angle, the fence is adjustable to let you shoot up to 60° from square. A spring-loaded button registers in fixed detents at 0°, 18°, 22.5°, 25.7°, 30°, 36°, 45° and 60° to let you quickly set the fence for square angles as well as miter cuts to produce frames with ten,...
Veritas Shooting Plane + PM-V11 Blade
The mass of this Veritas Shooting Plane, its long base and low centre of gravity make it both stable and effective. Tipping the scales at just over 3.5kg and just under 400mm long, it is a substantial plane; you will appreciate the authority it provides when shooting.
The body is fully stress-relieved, ductile cast iron, with a sole and running surface machined flat and square to one another;...
Veritas Shop Marking Knife
The unique handle shape on this marking knife lets you use it comfortably with a pencil grip when fine control is needed, or a pistol grip that allows greater force to be applied for a more visible line.
The removable blade design lets you flip the blade for right-hand or left-hand use, or for flush registration on either side of a reference surface.
The blade, made of PM-V11 tool steel, is 3/32"...
Veritas Small Scraping Plane
The Veritas Small Scraping Plane is a great tool for the final smoothing of small, flat surfaces, even highly figured timber, or small areas of difficult grain within a larger surface.
The scraping plane comes into action after the surface has been prepared as well as possible using a finely tuned smoothing plane. What the scraping plane does is to replace the need for sanding prior to applying...
Veritas Special Bench Bolts
Most European benches use a bolt system to fasten leg sets to stretchers. The main advantage is that you can snug the bolts if anything loosens due to changes in humidity.
The solid brass nuts on our bench bolts slide into a pre-drilled hole in the stretcher, and distribute pressure to prevent breakout. A bench can be made very rigid (without complex joinery) by using a wide stretcher, since the...
Veritas Square Fence
A carpenter's square is frequently needed just because of its size. The key disadvantage of such a square (its lack of a supporting fence ledge) can now be eliminated using a Veritas square fence.
The 8" (200mm) long anodized aluminum extrusion can be readily attached to either the stock or blade of your square (depending upon intended use) with the two integral brass screws. The face of...
Veritas String Inlay Tool System
Used much like a marking gauge, this inlay tool lets you accurately cut narrow grooves in a workpiece as well as neatly slice fine strings from a sheet of veneer. Its interchangeable blade system lets you quickly swap blades to suit the activity.
The hook-shaped blade is designed to cut grooves. Used in a sweeping push-pull motion, it has outlining spurs on one side of the blade to score the groove...
Veritas Template Groove Cutter, Inlay Chisel and Pin Awl
With slender handles for pencil-like control, these Veritas tools are useful for freehand inlay work and following templates. They are also good complements to the Veritas inlay groove and slicing tool since the groove and chisel tools can be used to clean up, deepen or terminate grooves without widening them.
The Veritas template groove cutter is available in 0.025", 0.032" and 0.040"...

Veritas Wile Plane Hammer
Making fine adjustments to plane-blade position is easier with the right tool, and few can compare to the finely made plane hammers of Richard Wile, a hobbyist woodworker from Nova Scotia.
Based on Wile's design, this hammer is machined in our shop to have the same elegant proportions as the original, giving it a weight and balance that feel right in the hand. The small brass head, only 5/8"...
Veritas Wonder Dogs & Pups
Steel post and screw with black oxide finish, solid brass clamp head and handle.
These can pivot in any direction that clamping is required. An easy-adjusting handle provides ample clamping pressure in any position. The dog head has two screw holes, so any tip shape can be cut with a scroll saw and attached for specialized work.
The Wonder Dog post is 6½" and is drilled and tapped...
Veritas Wood Carver's Vice
A good carver's vice should be adjustable in all three axis. This one has full rotation in two axes and 3" of height adjustment in the third axis. But more important, it has controlled release; when you relieve the clamping pressure, a combination of internal springs and O-rings provides residual resistance so that your work does not suddenly fall or rotate. You can reposition the work and...

Woodpeckers Edge Rule 300mm
Woodpeckers Woodworking Edge Rule - Metric 300mm (Includes Edge Rule Stop)
Measuring the narrow edge of stock with typical rules is a little awkward. Getting the rule parallel to the stock and leaving yourself room to make a tick mark can become quite a juggling act. Working on the face of a piece is usually a little easier, but you can still struggle to jeep the rule parallel to your work. The...
