It&#8217;s a book that is very difficult to get hold of and when you do the price is astronomical. In 2019 I paid just over $150 and I was pretty happy that I got a steal. Unfortunately, in my opinion the content doesn&#8217;t match the price tag. Sadly, like Handplane Essentials, the book is more a collection of good articles and does not hang together in a cohesive manner as a book. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, there is a lot of good content, but I&#8217;d expect a lot more from a book that commands such a premium. Join me on the show today as I explore this book a bit further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"[S2-20] Handsaw Essentials By Christopher Schwarz by Hand Tool Book Review\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1010430370&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=640&#038;maxheight=960&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book that I am most frequently asked about is the book Handsaw Essentials.
