    • Great shop reference book! Poorly handled shipping.
Format: Paperback
Great little shop reference book! Poorly handled shipping. So much detailed, organized, easily accessed, timesaving, timeless information on practically every aspect of woodworking is in this sturdy little book that should last decades. Unfortunately, the first one I ordered was crushed in shipping and the replacement one was also bent at the corners due to the soft packaging used to ship these books. They both arrived in "good used" condition; not "new condition" that I paid for. ... show more

    • Like having your great grandfather by your side.
Format: Paperback
I accidentally bought this book because it was in the cart and I was planning on looking at reviews first but I accidentally incuded in a separate purchase. I have to say this book should’ve been in my shop a year ago. I’m new to woodworking and this book answers questions I wasn’t even asking! This book should come free when you buy your first table saw. So much stuff I wish I woulda known before. I’m gonna wear this thing out and it will now acquire a pocket in my apron. Don’t hesitate just buy it. especially if you exist like me in the YouTube Ether of contradiction and confusion that goes along with woodworking. ... show more
