Announcing a New UNC Press Omnibus E-Book

The Woodwright’s Shop Classic Collection
including The Woodwright’s Shop, The Woodwright’s Companion, and The Woodwright’s Workbook

by Roy Underhill

For more than twenty-five years, Roy Underhill has taught the techniques of traditional hand-tool woodworking. In six books and on his popular, long-running PBS series, The Woodwright’s Shop, America’s leading authority on old-time woodcraft has inspired millions to take up chisel and plane.

This omnibus e-book brings together the first three books into a collection of Woodwright classics. Designed for both woodworking novices and for more seasoned woodworkers looking for enjoyable projects, these books feature step-by-step instructions, complete with easy-to-follow photographs and measured drawings.
