INCRA IJPT1 Projects and Techniques Book

by Incra

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Written by INCRA expert Perry McDaniel, "Projects & Techniques" features step-at-a-time plans more than a dozen original projects and 11 special techniques sections that will turn you into a real INCRA pro. This 148 page book contains detailed plans with over 400 illustrations and photos. This isn’t just a collection of project plans, it’s a gold mine of information for owners of any generation of Incra system. Some of the book’s greatest value is that it teaches you to take advantage of the accuracy and repeatability of the systems in ways that you might not expect, and then use those methods to improve the projects you’re already working on. About half of the projects are based on box joints and dovetails, and the rest are non-joinery projects that use a variety of router table and table saw techniques. As an added bonus, FREE templates are included for making the spectacular INCRA Double-Double Through Dovetail and INCRA Corner-post Eagletail. Includes clearly written instructions for each variation.

I was a bit worried about this being one long advertisement. Instead it has excellent tips that apply to any router or router table.The lining with leather technique is almost worth the price of the book and would work with any soft flexible material, e.g. cloth, plastic, rubber....

The projects can be done with any good router table and a micro adjustable fence. The Freud would be a good example. Some of the projects use a table saw but they can be done as well with a good band saw or in a pinch with a scroll saw, jig saw or Japanese stile hand saw. One sticky thing is the use of laminates decoratively; that really requires cutting thin strips and a band saw with a resaw blade is handy (although you can use a table saw or the festool with the guide rails and extension) as well as a thickness plainer (a good hand plane would work as well). The projects all look impressive without requiring any exotic tools. One project, the business card case, really cries out for a drill press, this is one place where the book falls down as it references a "Wood Hinge Manual" (which apparently doesn't exist) for instructions. There are suggestions for variations on the projects which are good as well.

Some of the projects are pretty fussy but they are pretty impressive by and large. The dovetail variants are interesting as well as flashy. IMHO most dovetail projects are done more for the "Look how good I am, I made dovetails!" than as a matter of practical joinery.

Having just purchased the Incra LS positioner system for my router table, I needed some initial small projects to practice on...this book is fabulous, easy to read and understand... gives detailed instructions making it easy to learn the techniques required to advance to more intricate projects. I would recommend it to anyone who has an Incra LS positioner system...or who is looking to purchase one. A great way to get started with a great tool..

I have the Incra router table and wonder fence system. I bought this to get familiar with the different types of joints and different boxes you can make. It is very nice, I'm impressed!!!! Incra is the best as far as I'm concerned.
