Rediscover the joy of hand tools and the quiet satisfaction of working unplugged.
In a world dominated by power tools and fast results, this inspiring guide invites woodworkers to slow down and reconnect with the craft through traditional hand-tool techniques. With a focus on precision, patience, and artistry, The Unplugged Workshop offers a collection of beautiful, functional projects designed to be built entirely by hand.
Author and craftsman Tom Fidgen shares his philosophy of woodworking as a meditative, skill-building practice, along with detailed plans for furniture and shop projects that emphasize joinery, proportion, and timeless design.
Inside you'll find:

  • Step-by-step instructions for building tables, cabinets, benches, and more
  • Techniques for sawing, planing, chiseling, and joinery without machines
  • Guidance on setting up a hand-tool-only workshop
  • Full-color photos and measured drawings to support every project

  • Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or just beginning your journey, this book will help you build not only beautiful pieces—but also a deeper connection to your craft.
