If you think you will actually learn how to fabricate something, you will be disappointed. It is not a HOW-TO book at all. It's nothing more than a listing of monster garage projects describing things they built. Most is a self-aggrandizement description of how great they are and the wild big stuff they built. Some don't even have a picture of the project. A better title is " Some stuff we built on Monster Garage". There are no tricks of the trade, nothing new or enlightening, most stuff can't be built by the average tinkerer anyhow because of the enormous tool arsenal required. A total waste. Sorry

Does not tell how to do any thing. Just a list of projects they have done and bragging about them selves.

A list of basic hand tools near the front of book, but no specifics on specialty tools. There are no list of how to use tooling or how to fabricate any thing.

As with the other three books in the series there is useful information here, just not a whole lot of it. The attempt to cover so many bases at once causes it to fall short in all of them. Being a Monster Garage publication one might reasonably expect it focus on custom cars, but it frequently digresses with such projects as a tool caddy and bizarrely, a log splitter. Further, if there was less emphasis on the stars of the custom car industry and more on the "how to" this would be a much better buy. As it is, it doesn't even make the grade as a Monster Garage souvenir book as Monster Garage barely makes a mention.

I checked this book out from my local library with the hopes of gaining some useful info on metalwork techniques. I was VERY disappointed that there was the smallest smattering of anything useful for learning anything about fabricating. This book is a complete waste of time.

too many worthless pictures, large print,no content ,i will never buy a motorbooks book again!!!!!!!!!!!!,and beware of hp books also!!,unless you want worthless glossy pictures!!!!!

Book is amazing. It has full color pictures from the actual Monster Garage show plus other pictures. It goes into the peoples careers who are fabricating the parts. Overall good value for the price.
