"The practical cabinetmaker",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: More Woodworkers' Essential: Facts, Formulas & Short-Cuts: Figure It Out, with or Without Math (Woodworker's Essentials & More) (Paperback)
This book is a must for "New Guys" to be on your shelf, and give you a quick reference. It is jamb packed with information! It is non-technical, practical and written by a technical guy. There are many things I have learned in "fixing things" and I come up with novel ways of doing it, but this guy is good! If you work with both hand tools and power tools, as I do, you may neglect a tool and find it rusty. Inside this book is alchemey magic for the small shop. Reversing the rusting process! Each page has something for us. It also tells me why, and if I want more, the facts behind it. Only one draw back, but it probably kept the cost of this book affordable. I'd like it to be on better paper, and have a few more pictures of what the project or technique looks like, so I can have a visual reference point.

I found a little more practical use from this than in his first volume. I doubt the average part-time woodworker would reach for this first if he had a question. It is packed with expert informaiton; it's just that most of us will never use it. Of course, I've been worng before.
5.0 out of 5 stars

I didn't believe a second book could actually contain more new information on wood working and tips on how to do stuff. But this book accomplished exactly that!
Be sure to get the first book too. a great way to learn about wood working.
