Rough cut - Tommy MacDonald

Famed woodworker and Emmy Award-nominated talent Tommy "Mac" MacDonald takes readers by the hand to create all 13 projects from the second season of public television's smash hit, Rough Cut--Woodworking with Tommy Mac.

Woodworkers of all levels will love constructing both traditional and contemporary pieces such as a drop-leaf table, an Arts and Crafts-style chair, a splayed-leg console table, and a sand-shaded clock. Tommy's encouraging style will give readers the confidence they need to take his tips and techniques and put them into action. All 13 pieces come with a full plan with dimensions, materials list, step-by-step instructions, and even design options. "Road trip" sidebars allow fellow builders to visit workshops of both established and up-and-coming furniture makers, where even a pro like Tommy picked up interesting nuggets.
