Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This title gives a complete course in woodworking, from lumber and tool analysis to making desks, bunkbeds, outdoor redwood furniture, even a classic coaster wagon with removable sides. The concise chapters and sub-sections should help those beginners who are dedicated and persistent master both traditional and recently developed techniques. The book is better suited to somewhat experienced workers, however, as the text tends to assume considerable knowledge of terms and procedures. Basic methods of cutting and joining (dado, dovetail, mortise and tenon), design and assembly procedures for cabinetry, door-hanging, and plain and fancy furniture components are among the subjects covered. Perhaps the most importantand fascinatingproject detailed here is the ideal workbench. January

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book. Easy to read with great illustrations., January 22, 2000
By Smaug "Jeremy" (Round Lake Beach, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This book goes over all of the basic woodworking techniques. It includes all the tools and how to use them, joining techniques, finishing, planning, and the basics of furniture making. These are the best illustrations I've seen so far. There are no plans in this book though. For plans, check out Sunsets "Woodworking Projects", and Reader's Digest's "Woodworking Room by Room". I couldn't think of a better way to spend .

5.0 out of 5 stars Great overview, July 18, 2000
By Kurt D. Fenstermacher (Westport, CT United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book gives a nice overview of woodworking. There's not a lot of detail, so you should plan on purchasing additional books if you want depth. The book does a nice job of covering many aspects of woodworking: from setting up a shop to using each hand and power tool to lumber selection and finishing.

At first, it's almost overwhelming because the illustrations (which are quite well done) and the text cover every square inch of every page. There's probably more information packed into this book than other books twice as long.

If you're just getting in to woodworking, this is a good book to start with because it gives you a good sense of what you can do, what tools you'll need and the skills you'll need. After you're done leafing through it, you can use it later on as a broad reference.
