Good but flawed,

This review is from: Jigs & Fixtures for the Table Saw & Router (The Best of Woodworker's Journal series) (Paperback)
I am going to assume that the individual who wrote the only other review (so far) has not tried to build one of the fixtures or jigs depicted in the book. While most of the projects certainly look like great things to build for your home workshop I have found, as I build the Precision Crosscutting Jig, a bunch of inaccuracies. Measurements and dimensions given in the Technical Drawings don't match what is either pictured or what is explained in text elsewhere. In one instance "5/16" should actually read "5/8" which is quite a discrepancy. Another gives the thickness of one of the fences as 11/16" when, from the picture, it looks more like 1 1/2". One of the most blaring errors is the measurements of the placement of a hole that is WAAAAAY off. I don't even know where they came up with the numbers for that one. If I had actually drilled the hole where they told me to drill it the piece would have been ruined. Glad I double checked it.Here are some of my other observations/suggestions: -In the materials list it would be nice to know what material each item is. Hardwood? Plywood? Plastic? As it is now you have to search through the text of the article to figure it out. -A list of suppliers for some of the more specialized items would help as Home Depot doesn't carry a lot of what they want you to use. So, while the projects all look great and I'm looking forward to building quite a few of them I am going to have to double check and scrutinize the measurements of each item in the materials list as the inaccuracies have been so prevalent on the very first one I've tried, who knows what the rest hold? The publishers should really go through this book, fix the problems and re-publish. It's worth it.
