For more than two decades, this unlikely pair - an attorney in Baltimore and a joiner at Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts - pieced together how this early furniture was constructed using a handful of written sources, the tool marks on surviving examples and endless experimentation in their workshops. ---The result of their labor is "Make a Joint Stool from a Tree: An Introduction to 17th-century Joinery." This book starts in the woodlot, wedging open a piece of green oak, and it ends in the shop with mixing your own paint using pigment and linseed oil. It's an almost-breathtaking journey because it covers aspects of the craft that most modern woodworkers would never consider. And yet Alexander and Follansbee cover every detail of construction with such clarity that even beginning woodworkers will have the confidence to build a joint stool, an iconic piece of furniture from the 17th century. ---Joint stools are a fascinating piece of British and early American furniture. Made from riven - not sawn - oak, their legs are typically turned and angled. The aprons and stretchers are joined to the legs using drawbored mortise-and-tenon joints, no glue. And the seat is pegged to the frame below. Because of these characteristics, the stools are an excellent introduction to the following skills. --- Selecting the right tools: Many of the tools of the 17th century are similar to modern hand tools - you just need fewer of them. "Make a Joint Stool from a Tree" introduces you to the very basic kit you need to begin. --- Processing green oak: Split an oak using simple tools, rive the bolts into usable stock and dry it to a workable moisture content. ---Joinery and mouldings: Learn to cut mortises and tenons by hand, including the tricks to ensure a tight fit at the shoulder of the joint. Make mouldings using shop-made scratch stocks - no moulding planes required. --- Turning: Though some joint stools were decorated with simple chamfers and chisel-cut details, many were turned. Learn the handful of tools and moves you need to turn period-appropriate details. --- Drawboring: Joint stools are surprisingly durable articles of furniture. Why? The drawbored mortise-and-tenon joint. This mechanical joint is rarely used in contemporary furniture. Alexander and Follansbee lift the veil on this technique and demonstrate the steps to ensure your joint stool will last 400 years or so. --- Finishing: Many joint stools were finished originally with paint. You can make your own using pigments and linseed oil. The right finish adds a translucent glow that no gallon of latex can ever provide. ---Make a Joint Stool from a Tree" is also the long-awaited follow-up to Alexander's 1978 book "Make a Chair from a Tree" (you can find the third edition here). "Make a Chair from a Tree" inspired generations of woodworkers to pick up hand tools and the skills required to use them, and it was one of the essential sparks that ignited the resurgence of handwork we are experiencing today."---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo.///NOT SIGNED/// ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE /// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)---- PLEASE NOTE: This book might have an ever so slight hint of nicotine/cigarettes--- Size: 9.25w x 12.25h Inches.
