《木工完全分步指南》· Woodworking: The Complete Step-by-Step Manual · DK（Dorling Kindersley）编著 · DK Publishing 2024

这是 DK 那本以”每一步都拍下来”为卖点的大部头木工手册的 2024 年美国版。书里的导论把它的立场讲得很清楚：木材在人类历史上一直支撑着生存与发展——树给人氧气、食物、温暖、药物与住所，也是纸张、家具、乐器与艺术品的关键原料；即便在技术高度发达的今天，我们仍用木材盖房、做家具，因为它易加工、美观、实用、易得。手工做家具的手艺在某种程度上已被电动工具与机器取代，但手工工具的重要性怎么估计都不过分：工具在几百年里越来越精巧，木工的基本功却没有太大变化，这门古老手艺至今仍是所有家具制作的基础。

导论同时给出了全书的方法论：完全用机器做家具需要很大的车间和很多的钱，而手工技能让空间有限、预算有限的人也能做出家具，还能享受与木头密切打交道的乐趣。因此本书要提供的是一套”核心基本功”——手工工具与电动工具并用、按自己的空间和预算布置工坊、认识各种木材的加工特性，并给出可完成但又有挑战的项目。

结构上，全书分工具、技法、接合、木材、项目五大块，另有术语表与致谢等附录。工具块按手工工具、电动工具、机床与固定设备三级展开：手工工具从锯（齿、锯路、拨料与磨锯，西式推切与日式拉切的差别，板锯、背锯、拉花锯、镂锯）、手工刨、凿、测量与划线工具、敲击工具到夹具；电动工具讲电钻与起子、修边机、手持电动锯、砂磨机与打钉机；机床部分覆盖台锯、带锯、平刨与压刨、车床与车刀、榫眼机、市售连接系统、台钻，并延伸到紧固件、工坊布置、工作台与支撑、磨刀、上胶与夹装、刮刀与磨料、安全防护与急救。

接合块是全书分量最重的部分，先讲怎样按受力与外观”选一种接合”，再逐一示范 28 种做法：边对边接合，活舌与固定企口，十字半搭接、燕尾半搭接、角部半搭接、斜接（scarf），贯通槽接、带肩与不到头槽接、燕尾槽接，平斜接、半搭接斜接、活舌斜接、加键斜接，基本榫卯、带台榫、暗带台榫、加楔贯通榫、可拆装榫、错孔拔紧榫，T 形与角部夹榫，箱接（comb joint），贯通燕尾榫、半隐燕尾榫、活动榫，以及用饼干榫、圆棒榫、多米诺榫等市售连接件的做法；随后是夹具与模板、车旋技法、贴木皮、涂装技法与旧家具修复。

木材块是一份可查的树种辞典，分木料总说、软木、硬木与木皮四节，逐类给出木色、纹理、加工性与用途；项目块给出 28 件作品，从砧板、鸟屋、衣帽架、镜框、酒架、搁板、洗衣箱、盘架、屏风、书架，到早餐桌、吧凳、壁柜、庭院桌与长凳、工作台、走廊桌、首饰盒、咖啡桌、储物箱、床头柜、毯箱、五斗柜、床、玻璃门柜、折叠翻板桌（gateleg table）、餐边柜与椅子，难度与体量逐级上升，每件都标注尺寸、要用的接合与分步照片。

  圆棒榫、饼干榫、多米诺榫、斜孔螺丝与各类五金连接件的做法比较：快、准、免开榫，但外观与可拆性各不相同。
  Dowels, biscuits, dominos, pocket screws, and hardware connectors: fast and accurate, with different looks and dismantlability.
• 夹具与模板 · Jigs and templates
  夹具（jig）用于固定工件或引导刀具，模板（template）用于复制形状；两者配合机器可同时提高精度、速度与安全。

• 储物箱 · Storage box
  用软木做的燕尾箱，适合放工具或改装成儿童储物箱；底座线脚保护箱体边角又增加观感，是练习贯通燕尾榫的好机会。
  A softwood dovetailed chest for tools or toys, with a plinth that protects the edges; good practice in through dovetails.
• 床头柜 · Bedside table
  夏克风格樱桃木床头柜：传统柜体构造加燕尾榫抽屉，横档做得足够宽以容纳抽屉，腿部下端收分让落地更轻巧，桌面实木、上缘圆角。
  A Shaker-style cherry table with a dovetailed drawer, wide rails to house it, tapered legs, and a rounded solid top.
• 毯箱 · Blanket box
  兼作矮桌或座凳的多用途箱：方框嵌板结构，嵌板不施胶以允许胀缩，两侧凸出框架增加体量与观感；蜡或油饰最能保留木本色。
  A frame-and-panel box that doubles as a table or seat, with floating panels and a wax or oil finish.
• 五斗柜 · Chest of drawers
  抽屉面板做成曲面，既是装饰也是暗拉手；面板选料能显著影响成品效果。柜体分底座、柜身与顶板三段，段间留”阴影缝”，拉手是刮刀在假面板下缘刮出的凹口。
  Curved drawer fronts double as concealed handles; plinth, carcass, and top are separated by shadow gaps.
• 床 · Bed
  可完全拆开以便搬运存放的床架，尺寸按标准单人床垫给出；做双人床时需加长短档与床板条，并在中部加一根纵梁承重。
  A knock-down bed sized to a standard single mattress, extendable to double with longer rails and a central brace.
• 玻璃门柜 · Glass-fronted cabinet
  壁挂玻璃门柜，集中练习柜体构造的多种做法（燕尾槽接与多米诺榫，也可换用传统榫卯）；门铰在柜体外侧边、下垂低于底座，形成隐藏的拉手。
  A wall cabinet with dovetail housing and domino joints, whose doors hang below the base to form a hidden grip.
• 折叠翻板桌（Gateleg） · Gateleg table
  收起时是边几、展开翻板即成小餐桌：桌面靠合页式规则接缝（rule joint）开合，由绕黄铜轴转动的翻板腿支撑；本例用涂装油，也可用蜡或清漆。
  A side table that unfolds into a small dining table on a pivoting gateleg, its top opening on a rule joint.
• 餐边柜 · Buffet
  橡木餐边柜连上部搁架，是家用木工的大工程：用上传统榫卯与市售连接件等多种做法，是检验与拓宽技艺的理想题目；完工后必须用两只小托架与螺钉把柜体固定到墙上。
  An oak buffet and hutch using both traditional joints and modern connectors — a real test of range, and one that must be fixed to the wall.
• 椅子 · Chair
  对任何水平的木工都既满足又有挑战的题目：强度与耐久是椅子设计的根本，横档榫头要在不削弱木料的前提下尽量深、尽量宽，同时还要考虑坐着的舒适。
  Satisfying and demanding at every level: side-rail tenons as deep and wide as the stock allows, with comfort built in.
