Many woodworkers look down on plastics, but they have their place in the shop and in many projects. From glazing to shelves to machine guards, plastics can improve tools, enhance projects, and protect woodworkers from harm. This book extends from the popular "Working Plastics in the Woodshop" seminars the author presents at the International Woodworking Fair. The only book of it's kind covering the use of plastics in the typical wood shop and very few woodworkers today have the author's extensive experience in this area. The book appeals to DIYers/Makers, amateur woodworks, and even professionals.
- You'll find the tools and common plastics to use
- Various cutting techniques are covered
- How to use router bits in plastics
- Forming with heat, edge polishing, glueing procedures and more.
