It stars Journeyman and his pizza-loving dog, Snidely, as they untangle the realm of points, segments, arcs and the three-dimensional world using nothing more than a compass, straightedge and pencil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter each new idea is introduced, you are shown how to perform the exercise yourself right in the workbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can perform all the exercises in an afternoon. And even though you have been steeped in geometry for years, we are certain you will experience several eye-opening moments while performing the exercises. This book connects geometry to furniture design in a way that no other book has. And the exercises ensure the lessons will make it from the page and into your fingers. Reading about it is one thing. Doing it is another (like woodworking).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso fun: authors George Walker and Jim Tolpin have given their work the look and feel of a middle-school workbook, complete with slightly corny jokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 192-page workbook is softcover with a sewn and glued binding for durability.

Jim is, above all else, a teacher, and the best kind, because he never believes he knows it all and never stops learning. He also believes in passing it on, while you still can. “There are a lot of people out there who want to know this stuff and that includes me,” he says. “I personally love being in the position of not knowing but maybe going to find out.” Visit Jim and George’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.byhandandeye.com\/\"\u003eBy Hand \u0026amp; Eye\u003c\/a\u003e’s online atelier (design studio) to help you unlock your potential as a builder or maker by honing your design skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRead more about Jim in our full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blog.lostartpress.live\/2017\/03\/18\/meet-the-author-jim-tolpin\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eprofile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/3197\/files\/bio-portrait-2_1_large.jpg?v=1493642339\" width=\"330\" height=\"440\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeorge Walker\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRaised in northeast Ohio, George Walker spent the first 20 years of his woodworking in design purgatory. Then, after stumbling onto the design language of the artisans, he can’t shut up about it. After five books and scores of magazine articles, he’s just getting started. No matter how ordinary the circumstances, George is regularly struck by the majesty and wonder of life – the way millions of colorful warblers gather at Magee Marsh before their migration across Lake Erie; the way a medieval drawing found in an old monastery can inform his work through the understanding of geometry; or the way he can now build a beautiful piece of furniture, without plans or a tape measure, using instead a stick, a piece of string and dividers.
