This review is from: Wood Sanding Bk (Paperback)
As someone who has been working with wood for over 20 years I thought there's not much about sanding that I didn't know. The credentials of the author, Mr. Nagyszalanczy, who was Senior Editor of "Fine Woodworking" magazine's was deciding factor in purchasing this book. And the book is a delight! It is exceptionally well written in easy-to-understand fashion, and not a bit supercilious. Moreover,instead of being merely a dry manual on sandpaper and abrasives the book gives an excellent overview of wood finishing; the woodworking tips alone are worth buying this book. The author is straight in his opinions; the emphasis is made on modern tools and techniques, as opposed to "traditional" methods. It can't be said better about traditional rubbing out as being arcane. The recommendations in the book are given from the practical perspective and always make good sense. Superb illustrations. Highly recommended!
