Japanese tools are manufactured to perform at the high level top craftspeople demand, but they work differently from Western tools--saws cut on the pull, not the push--and need to be properly maintained to provide decades of useful service. Covering four major tool categories--plus sharpening stones--the authors guide the woodworker or hobbyist step by step, using detailed line drawings and concise how-to explanations.
