For thirty years, Roy Underhill's PBS program, The Woodwright's Shop, has brought classic hand-tool craftsmanship to viewers across America. Now, in his seventh book, Roy shows how to engage the mysteries of the splitting wedge and the cutting edge to shape wood from forest to furniture.Beginning with the standing tree, each chapter of The Woodwright's Guide explores one of nine trades of woodcraft: faller, countryman and cleaver, hewer, log-builder, sawyer, carpenter, joiner, turner, and cabinetmaker. Each trade brings new tools and techniques; each trade uses a different character of material; but all are united by the grain in the wood and the enduring mastery of muscle and steel.
Hundreds of detailed drawings by Eleanor Underhill (Roy's daughter) illustrate the hand tools and processes for shaping and joining wood. A special concluding section contains detailed plans for making your own foot-powered lathes, workbenches, shaving horses, and taps and dies for wooden screws.
The Woodwright's Guide is informed by a lifetime of experience and study. A former master craftsman at Colonial Williamsburg, Roy has inspired millions to just say no to power tools through his continuing work as a historian, craftsman, activist, and teacher. In The Woodwright's Guide, he takes readers on a personal journey through a legacy of off-the-grid, self-reliant craftsmanship. It's a toolbox filled with insight and technique as well as wisdom and confidence for the artisan in all of us.

Holy dreams Batman!
Flavor Name: Peppermint
This product is so good I had to come back to review it! I originally got this for my daughter since she has terrible insomnia, but she hated the minty taste...so I started taking them along with my husband and wow is all I have to say! It makes me tired and I’ve been having the craziest dreams (I usually never dream or remember them)! Definitely recommend and I actually really like the flavor.

Not fast dissolve. After 20 minutes, it still sits beneath my tongue.
Flavor Name: Peppermint
This is definitely not fast dissolving tablets. My B12 and biotin sublingual tablets dissolve in a couple of minutes but these pills last over 20 minutes.

Good supplement for uric acid support
My dad has been using this support supplement for uric acid for a while and I thought it was a good option. The ingredients feel of quality and are easy to take, as the capsules are of adequate size and do not cause stomach discomfort.
I like that it is also focused on kidney support and that it does not have a strong taste or noticeable side effects in my case. It is a convenient alternative to complement a balanced diet and healthy habits.
The value for money is good and the packaging performs a lot. In general, I am satisfied with the product and would buy it again.

Great gout relief!
Great ingredients, great price and very effective product. I have gout and had frequent very painful gout attacks, at least several times a year for the past 5 years. By taking the Uric Acid Support Formula in the past year and a half, 2 tablets per day as instructed on the bottle, when I feel an attack coming on, I’ve been able to stop a full attack several times, and have had less than 4 full blown attacks since I began using it. In all fairness, I do also increase my water intake, and often add a celery seed tincture, and simply my diet. Still, adding this Uric Acid formula in conjunction with the other regimes I mentioned has greatly decreased both the amount and severity of gout attacks.
