5.0 out of 5 stars woodworking basics-is a very good book for a absolut beginne, August 28, 2000

I was very pleased, to find this book! i searched very long to find a book, where I could learn the basics of woodworking. I like the clear pictures which discribe exactly each part of machines you need. i just ate the book and I enjoyed that the editors marked the stuff which you really need and not much else! for me as a young woman without to much nowledge about wood it was just a very good book to have. it is very good made and I wished we would have such a book in german!
