Unlike the other reviewer I found this book to be exceptionally well detailed in comparison to many other similar books. There are a number of very crafty jigs and fixtures in this book. Well worth the price (especially used).

I am finding this to be one of the better jig books I own. When thinking about building a jig such as a band saw circle cutting jig or a cross-cut box for a table saw, I've looked around the internet, but have always come back to build the jigs in this book simply because they offer more versatility and features.

This book is written by the editors of Woodsmith and ShopNotes Magazines, and is very well written and very clearly drawn. Not all machine tools are built the same and there are notes in the plans of the dimensions you will need to change based on your machine. This book is very inexpensively priced on the used book market, and is well worth the money if your budget is tight.
