The Blue Book of Woodworking

By Eddie Fitzgerald

Thousands of woodworking books exist. Most are how-to-texts of one form or another. Few, though, take a step back from the focus on "hows" and take a look at the "whys" of woodcraft. The Blue Book of Woodworking is a practical guide for navigating the issues confronting woodworkers of every skill level. Craftsman Eddie Fitzgerald provides answers to many of woodworking's most vexing questions in a witty, conversational style. Modern technology has no doubt changed some of the hows of woodworking, but the essence of the craft remains the same: the natural material wood. And it is a proper understanding of wood which will reveal the secrets of woodworking to the attentive student of the craft.Eddie Fitzgerald became a professional woodworker in 2000. From 2014-2019, he was the Director of Woodworking at the Sawtooth School in downtown Winston-Salem, NC. Eddie's furniture pieces can be found in many private and public spaces, including his Alma Mater George Mason University (Fairfax, VA), the Kenan Institute (Winston-Salem, NC), and Albright College (Reading, PA).
