    • This book gave me the confidence to strike out.
This book was super helpful. It's practical, it's pragmatic, and it does a great job laying out the way things work, and most importantly, the _why_ certain problems should be approached in a specific manner. This book helped give me the confidence to strike out and work on much larger projects than I'd have initial thought I could pull off. I was able to produce pieces in my humble garage that rival the local "amish" furniture stores, and outshine them in finish quality. After having built a few projects from this book, I designed and built my kids bedroom furniture. Bunkable twin beds, chests of drawers, toy boxes, etc. It was super fulfilling, and the pieces look and work great. If you're fairly early into your furniture making forray -- this is a great book, and some of it's projects are outstanding. ... show more

    • Good for beginner and intermediate woodsmiths.
This book is great for those who are looking to expand their woodworking skills or get ideas for other projects. It gives a good bit of introductory material for those who are inexperienced to wood crafting with tools, techniques, and easy step by steps with pictures and illustrations. However, in order for a person to do most of these projects the way they instruct, you really can't be just a casual carpenter because they include some tools that I don't even own. So be prepared to compromise on a few of these projects or spend quite a bit of money or find a friend who is in a little deeper than you are and who has the specified tools. ... show more

    • Great and Practical
This is a great practical book. Covers the basics and moderately advanced projects and techniques. Doesn't just tell you to get the ABC Jig; it shows you how to build the ABC Jig. Maybe just a little simple for the really serious, advanced woodworker, but perfect for a small home shop weekend guy that doesn't want to spend a year on one project. ... show more

    • Basics plus some nice obscure items
Excellent projects and good basic skills. Each skill is taught as needed--when you need a router table for one of the projects, he shows you how to build a router table. Also so good insights to less beginnery items--sharpening and using a scraper, for example. My one star off is for the fact that measurements shown in the diagram for the first project (desk organizer) do not match the measurements given in the text! Very disconcerting for the beginner this book is aimed at. ... show more

    • Fair but geared to higher skill level
This book has some fine furniture ideas and outlines in it, but this book is probably not for you if you are a beginner or only a part-time hobbyist with limited tools in your workshop. I think it is geared more toward intermediate to high woodworking skill set, particularly people that have access to a higher end tool workshop. I do like some of the furniture concepts, but I think the book is too technical for the non-professional woodworker. Some of the technique diagrams, pictures, and written directions are confusing to follow if you have never done them before. None of the designs are day or weekend projects. I likewise felt that there were a lot of ways to achieve the furniture looks and concepts without having to use a lot of the skills and techniques the book recommends. A lot of the techniques require some specialty and high end tools that I most hobbyists won't have access to like biscuit joiners and high end dado jigs. In other words, a lot of these designs are over-engineered in my opinion. If you want to get into high end furniture making, then you might consider buying this book. Certainly the plans and ideas are professional grade furniture. I think if you are a beginner, this book is probably not that helpful to you. ... show more
