  • Excelent
los libros de Taunton son muy buenos en general y de una calidad gráfica fuera de serie.En temas de woodworking aquí en España en libros estamos muy por debajo y una guía como esta es una ayuda extraordinaria. lo recomiendo y deseo que se publique una version en español para los que nos cuesta lidiar con el inglés. Muy bueno el envío aunque no tenemos las ventajas de los USA. Enhorabuena al distribuidor por el servicio. ... show more

  • Total Novice Gets Professional Results !!
I am familiar with woodworking, as I worked on the business side of it. I wanted to start making furniture and I can't afford Mr. Bird's highly recommended classes...so I bought this book. He shows exactly how to position the tools, secure your workpiece and get an amazing result first time out. Thank you, thank you, Lonnie Bird !! ... show more

  • Good book to round out the Set
I began woodworking about one year ago and started by taking some classes at the local woodworking store. I had the idea in my head to build a wooden chest and finding a good starting place was not easy. Most of the wood workers I encounter are all over the spectrum of skill. No one really had a comprehensive method for teaching woodworking or where to start with the tools of woodworking. I think that this book gives a great start when it comes to selection of necessary tools as well as some general knowledge of how to use them. Keep in mind that a book can not accurately describe the pressure and overall feel of how to use a Plane or any other tool for that matter. These kinds of skills must come from doing. I have all the other Taunton press books in the "Complete Illustrated" set and I think that together I have a great reference set to begin designing and working with wood. They also all match each other and this makes my bookshelf look good as well. I would recommend the hardcover over the soft cover because it can be more easily used in the shop this way. ... show more

  • Using Woodworking Tools
Good read, but most woodworkers consider this a "shelf" book.

  • Beautifull book, lack substance.
Overall this book is very well illustrated, it contains information on some tools and put an emphasis on hand tools. The book is basically a catalog of the different tools and the basic techniques to use them. I was expecting to at least have some discussions on how to set them up, and care for them. I was also hoping to find more detail discussion on how to chose a power tool (other than you can find some great bargain on used items). There is a small section on sharpening but I guess you need to buy the book dedicated to the subject to go anywhere. ... show more

  • Five Stars
Good instructions, clear and concise. Good illustrations. Every wood work should have one in their shop.
