Additional information

In Woodworking: Europe and Japan face to face, W. Graubner offers an in-depth study of the main joinery techniques used in woodworking, while also providing a particularly instructive comparative analysis between Western techniques and those from Japanese and Chinese traditions.

The book highlights the constructive logic specific to Asian assemblies, often complex but of great ingenuity, and allows the reader to understand their functioning thanks to abundant iconography: precise diagrams, detailed views and photographs.

Beyond theoretical comparison, the book invites practice: the explanations provided allow one to learn how to reproduce the different assemblies presented, both for understanding and for implementation in the workshop.

The topics covered are varied:
cabinetmaking assemblies,
joinery assemblies,
timber frame assemblies,
Presentation of Japanese woodworking tools
traditional European and Asian construction principles.

This book is aimed at both woodworking professionals and informed amateurs wishing to deepen their technical knowledge and practice of joinery.

Expertise

Gaignard Millon

Expertise forged through workshop experience: we compare, measure, and test each item on various types of wood. Selection guided by cut, ergonomics, and durability. A standard confirmed by professionals: École Boulle, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay. As enthusiasts, we select only the best tools.

Workshop check & sharpening ready to use

Every tool passes through our hands before shipping: visual inspection, geometry, flatness, and deburring. If necessary, we sharpen it on a Tormek system for a consistent angle, and a clean, durable edge. The result: a tool that cuts cleanly right out of the box, with no time wasted at the workbench. Tested on wood, wiped down, protected, you receive a tool ready to work.

1% for the Children of the Woods

Gaignard-Millon donates 1% of the VAT-inclusive price of each order to associations that introduce children to woodworking and support reintegration through manual trades (e.g., L’Outil en Main, apprenticeship workshops).
