Tage Frid Teches Wood
r
king
A
master wodworker explains his joinery in deail.
This new book is he fist of tree volmes from
he disinguished crtsman-teacher, Tage Frid.
This innovative book is a pictorial step-by-step
demonstration of essential joinery and tools by the
dean of American woodworking teachers. Frid
shows you how to use both hand and power tools
to prepare wood and make all the joints useful to
cabinetmakers-from the simple tongue-and­
groove to more complicated dovetails and multiple­
spline miters
In this first of three volumes detailing everything
he has found necessary and useul in his 50 years of
cabinetmaking, Frid begins where other books
usually leave of-at the bench, demonstrating how
and why to make a diverse array of practical joints,
and how to get the most out of the tools required.
Tage (pronounced Tay) Frid learned his wood­
working as an apprentice and cabinetmaker in
Denmark, a country well noted for its strong wood­
working traditions. After World War II, the
American Crafts Council asked Frid to transfer
some of this lore by establishing a woodworking
program at the School for American Craftsmen,
now part of Rochester Institute of Technology.
Frid taught at both RIT and later the Rhode Island
School of Design, and his former students now are
the principal teachers at many of the college-level
woodworking and furniture design programs
throughout the United States.
The Frid hallmark is to teach virtually all the
techniques and tools available to the woodworker.
Thus his students are able to tackle any woodwork­
ing assignment under any shop conditions.
Frid has accepted a wide range of woodworking
commissions-from 19th century restorations at
Mystic Seaport to 20th century designs for ofices,
churches and homes. Frid's work is also part of the
permanent collection at the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts. He has been a contributing editor to

Last night I was prodding through my Fi ne Wo odwo rking
library and ran upon a contribution from a subscriber giving
directions for resurfacing sharpening stones....Many years
ago when my son was about seven years old (my son is now
50), I was digging through the rubble of a demolished
building and picked up an antique Washita stone. It was
hollowed yet seemed to be of good quality. We carried the
stone home. That evening a half-dozen kids ranging from 5
to 10 years old were playing in the basement near my
workbench. An idea struck me. I am a retired printer, active
at that time. I tied heavy jute string around that stone
horizontally in the same way a printer ties up type. I had a
chunk of iron an inch thick and about the size of that stone. I
tied it to the bottom side of the stone, fo r weight, then with a
string some 3 ft. long, hung it behind a tricycle. Those kids
took turns riding the trike in a igure-eight dragging the
hollow surface across the basement floor. It took about 20
minutes to wear that stone down to a flat surface. I still have
the stone and use it regularly in sharpening woodcarving
tools. My father once fl attened a stone by holding it against
the side of a wet grindstone. That also was a success.

ate boards. I concealed the rod with a wood key glued and
pressed into the slot.
An advantage of this method is that mortises fo r lock and
hinges can be cut and the door can be planed to fit its frame
without metal interference. The construction requires only a
saw and chisel, a standard brace and bit, and the vise. The
splines I cut on a table saw.

Tage Frid's article on wooden doors was especially good read­
ing. I have made my son fo r his home a door similar to that
shown in figure 3 on p. 79 of the July '79 issue. However, I
had a diferent means of constraining the wood movement
and hiding the metal rods. I bent 4 in. at each end of the two

I feel impelled to comment on the design of Simon Watts'
library steps Ouly '79). The author comments on a minor
weakness in the back legs, while overlooking a weakness in
Elmer's

U
shape. Then I in­
serted this into two holes and a slot cut at each end of the
door with a backsaw and chisel when the door was still separ-

Carpenter's Wood Glue.
How the pros make it
look easy.
Grabs instantly.
Even do-it-yourselfers can do it like
pros with Elmer's'" Carpenter's Wo od Glue.
It's specially made to penetrate both
hard and soft woods, grabs instantly, yet
you can still realign the joint before it sets.
After dryin
g, it forms a heat and water
resistant bond thats stronger
than the
wood itself.
Elmer's Carpenter's )od Glue is
also sandable, paintable and resistant to

solvent-free,
non-toxic* formula quickly washes off
hands and wood with water.
Now what could be easier than that?
