5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most complete introductions to real woodworking., October 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Working in Wood (Hardcover)
For the beginner or master woodworker, this is the only real wood working guide that I have found. This book is my right arm in my shop. If I want to know how to make a plain or fancy joint or project or figure out what kind of tool I need for a certain project, this is the book I go to. It is simple and very easy to read and understand. It needs to be brought back on the market. I highly recomend this book for beginners who are trying to figure out how to do quality wood working right from the begining. There are a lot of books on woodworking published, but none like this one. There are wannabees and there are masters and this was written by a master.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good in general but room for improvement, January 23, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Working in Wood: An Introduction (Paperback)
The book is targeted to newbies, which is the reason why I bought it, and found it really interesting and containing lots of elements I never thought about regarding woodworking.

It also contains plenty of illustrations with explanations, although they sometimes don't appear to be in sync.

It has a project section but, since it was not written by the author, it does not match very well with the content of the book.

Anyway, if you just want to have a general understanding of working with wood, this book will be of help.
