"Euclid's Door: Building the Tools of 'By Hand & Eye'" is an illustrated how-to journey through building the ancient tools that still help us build almost everything today. Using basic artisan geometry, you make eight indispensable wooden layout tools found in every cabinetmaker's tool chest, which you can then use to build furniture or houses. You also learn to tune them to a very high level, with techniques useful in all your work.
At the workbench you discover the truths of geometry in three dimensions, a better way to grasp the secrets of the craft than words alone. The tools become teachers that lead you into artisan geometry and develop skills for both imagination and hands.
