Book Description
Learn to sharpen with waterstones -- a quick, simple, and straightforward skill. The introduction of waterstones has made it possible for woodworkers to achieve sharper edges, with less effort, than ever before -- a skill that anyone can learn. Readers will learn how to put a perfect edge on chisels, plane irons, and knives. The author advocates using Japanese waterstones in conjunction with the ordinary electric grinder as the best route to a sharp edge, yet he also shows how to get excellent results from traditional oil stones. Kirby includes the use of diamond hones to prepare new tools for sharpening, and to recondition old ones.

Book Description
Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is ever present, from the very first attempts of form-finding to the final stages of construction. The modern tools of geometric computing for efficient design, analysis, and manufacturing of complex shapes open up new perspectives for architecture. Architecture, in turn, poses new problems to geometry. It is precisely around these topics, at the common border of geometry processing and architectural design, where the new research area of architectural geometry is situated. Advances in Architectural Geometry is the premier venue for disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results at the interface of geometry processing and architectural design. AAG12 brings together researchers from all related areas and takes place in Paris in September 2012.
