2.0 out of 5 stars
Not what I had hoped for.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Doors & Entryways: Projects, Plans & Procedures (Paperback)
There is too much fluff in this book. I was looking for a book with plans and ideas for building different
style doors. Instead what I go were chapters on setting up a woodworking shop, how lumber reacts to moisture and how I should select l
lumber, how to use a jointer and how to make different kinds of joints- all of which I am already familiar with. The final fifty pages or so
were plans for a few doors plus a gallery of photos of different doors. Too many woodworking books do this.

Good book for building a door from scrach. Not a good book for hanging, repairing or adjusting doors.

5.0 out of 5 stars
First-rate addition to my library,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Doors & Entryways: Projects, Plans & Procedures (Paperback)
Building Doors and Entryways taught me the basics of a challenging and at times mystifying trade. I came away from the book with a sense of confidence about building and installing doors, and with some ideas for creative door- and- entryway design as well. Worth reading for anyone fascinated and frustrated by doors and their construction. The author knows his subject.
