Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Columns featuring reader-submitted tips are one of the most popular sections of any do-it-yourself magazine. These titles feature hundreds of such tricks of the trade that originally appeared in Fine Woodworking magazine over the last 25 years. Nearly every aspect of woodworking is covered: shop-made fixtures, tool modifications, new uses of common materials, and means of solving seemingly insurmountable problems. These tips have stood the test of time and represent some of the best advice available if a tip wasn't that good, some wise guy would have submitted something better. These outstanding titles should be part of every public library collection; a slip-cased four-volume set is available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best Router Tips, December 3, 2001

This review is from: Router Methods of Work (Paperback)

This book is what I have grown to expect from Taunton Publishing, and the Editors at Fine Woodworking.

As a collection of the best tips on router use from Fine Woodworking Magazine, I assumed with out opening the cover that all of the tips would be well thought out and useful, and I wasn't wrong.

I keep my copy in my travel case for my routers, and refer to it frequently. Less so now than I did a year ago when I first bought it, only because I've learned a lot from it, and am starting to memorize it.

If you own a router, this book is a must own / read.

If you're looking for a book to learn how to use a router, this isn't it.

If you have some experiance using a router this is a great book. This book contains the best ideas that Fine Woodworking readers have come up with in the last 25 years. As future projects come along, I'll be checking this book often.
