Amazon.com Review
The hallmark of nearly all fine woodworking projects is in the quality and accuracy of their joints. Explained in detail are the most commonly used joining techniques for tables, chairs, cabinets, and built-ins, which include dovetail joints, lap joints, halving joints, mitered joints, and mortise and tenon, angle, housing, longitudinal, and a number of other specialized joints. The step-by-step instructions will show a beginner how to produce accurate and solid joints and give a skilled professional some tips and shortcuts to help brush up on previous experience and knowledge. Nearly 100 full-color photographs and more than 200 line drawings help the reader see exactly how the various joints are made and how they work. This is a book you'll want to keep right in the workshop for handy and repeated reference. --Mark A. Hetts

This review is from: A Woodworker's Guide to Joints (Paperback)
A great craftsman lays out the basics with a terrific eye for the preservation of British cabinet making tradition and translating for the ears of the beginner. Don't miss the excellent companion videotapes.
