About the Author
Fine Woodworking was launched in 1975 in response to the lack of quality information on the craft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cheap ideas that work, November 1, 2008

By	Dick Johnson (Oklahoma USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has more little slips of paper sticking out the top than any other book in my shop library. As you page through this book you'll find solutions to problems you didn't even know you had.

Make use of Amazon's "Look Inside" to view the table of contents. This puppy is loaded with practical tips that make use of easy to find materials and don't require a shop full of tools.

I own more than a dozen of the Fine Woodworking books and this one is by far the most helpful. It's cheap enough to pick up and you'll be rewarded with a useful book regardless of your skill level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and pretty clear, February 4, 2008

By	Brian Keefe (IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is a collection of tips garnered over the years. Enough of them are really good to make the purchase worthwhile. Most of them will require a certain amount of experience to understand how to implement them.

I thought the book was fun and I look forward to using some of the tips, especially for the drill press, router, and table saw.
