Jewitt explains how to choose equipment and demystifies the spray-finishing process.Through this unique multimedia approach, which includes detailed step-by-step instructions, photos, and how-to video, readers learn where to safely spray finishes and how to troubleshoot and solve spray- finishing problems.

  • great book
I am new to spray finishing and found this book to be an excellent resource for getting started without a lot of frustration. The author is a professional and gives great advice, don't worry that this is an entry-level-only kind of book, it does not dumb things down too much, and is still easily understood. He covers every common question you would have and addresses troubleshooting at the end. Surprisingly, I actually found the video to be really useful. Usually videos with these kinds of things are marginally helpful at best, this one included some stuff you really want to see if you are trying to learn: clear footage that visibly shows a spray pattern as he adjusts the gun, good vs. bad spray movement technique etc. More than anything else, the video showed his demeanor and how casual he is about a lot of things I was overly worried about, and how he takes some stuff I hadn't thought of very seriously. I won't be so worried about cleaning certain parts of the gun, and will be more careful about how I hold it over the work, for example. Finally, this guy is a finishing guru in the woodworking community, yet he is spraying in a very simply arranged area in what is presumably his personal shop. You could set up his finishing area for literally a couple hundred bucks. No special lighting, no massive filtration systems. Just a swivel table, a decent fan and some tarps hung off the ceiling. When you see it you'll realize that you can do pro-grade work with a lot less than people would have you believe. ... show more

  • If your are new or an occasional sprayer - Put it on your BUY IT list.
This DVD and book rank way up on the list of my many books on finishing. Personally, I wouldn't consider it a reference for finishing. However, an excellent source for those who have simply never sprayed before or who like me, don't spray the same material day to day and need a quick refresher course from time to time. The book and the DVD go into just enough detail on gun types and spray systems(turbine/compressor), how to thin and spray, as well as the general N/N (needle/nozzle) setups for each of the 5 likely products a woodworker would run into; solvent, waterborne, dyes, stains and enamels (paint). The book goes into how to set up and construct a temporary spray booth for both solvent and waterborne. Clean up, safety and environmental concerns are not an over thought but shown in a responsible yet reasonable manner. The DVD is well thought out and scripted with decent sound, NOT too dull, matching the book in content and shows the basic techniques for spraying. I did think the author could have mentioned one problem that I had...matching your fluid delivery with the speed in which you spray. Though I guess Jeff demonstrates proper speed in the DVD by example. It should be noted that conventional spray guns and pots, as well as exploiting the benefits of different solvents are not covered. Both are advanced topics that the amateur probably doesn't run into anyhow. To be totally critical I do have an issue with the title. As most "made easy" books fall into two categories "Made easy if you have a ton of money/skill etc" or "Made easy if you really don't care your project looks like crap." This book doesn't fall into either category. Overall great buy, highly recommended. ... show more

  • Excellent reference and a MUST HAVE for spraying newbies.
I bought this book to better learn how to spray the wood finishes I use (zinsser sealcoat (dewaxed shellac), crystalac super premium and createx wicked colors). The book is very clearly written, in good order and with lots of helpful charts for the various finishes and things like needle/nozzle combinations. It also covers the basics for most finishes a typical woodworker would use. There are plent of clear, color photos to compliment the text. The dvd is equally excellent. It's worded to the point where complete novices will be able to walk away with a good understanding of where to spray, how to spray, what the different types of spray guns are which spraying system to use, etc. The video is masterfully shot and you can clearly see what's going on every second of the video and the sound is perfect. At the price it is, this book and dvd set is a total bargain and worth every penny. I've watched the dvd 10 times or more and will probably watch it another 20. There's just that much information in it. Also note that Jeff Jewitt sells a line of spray equipment (QualSpray) and the quality is excellent, and Jeff is a great guy to talk to as well. Just call him up with your needs and he'll steer you in the right direction. I bought a QS-125WB with an extra bigger cup and you can really tell the difference between the QualSpray and the cheap HF or other china guns. Buy with confidence! ... show more

  • Best way to make a how-to book!
This book/DVD package is GREAT! The DVD gives you a complete overview of all types of spraying, and then the book backs it up with simple, easy to understand explanations with LOTS of full color photos (generally 2-6 photos per page). If you are the type of person who learns a task better by having it shown to them rather than just a bunch of text (i.e. everyone I've ever met) this is SO much better than most books. The combination is what makes it so good - a video to get you up to speed, and then the book to have in the shop with you when you need to look up something - much better than just a book or just a DVD, and at a fantastic price. Highly recommended for anyone looking for clear, simple and effective instructions on spray finishing. If you are already an expert this may or may not help (how could I know, I'm no expert) but I doubt an expert is reading a book titled "made simple" anyway. ... show more
