3.0 out of 5 stars Very Promising but ......, December 22, 2007
By Rafa N. (Pachuca, Mexico) - See all my reviews
This book is just a series of badly explained home projects and nothing more.
I found only one useful. My overall score is 3 stars just because the book is cheap.
The author keeps reminding you that he is the most skilled woodworker in the world using phrases like "It only took me 4 hours to complete", when one clearly can see that is only possible if you own every gadget the market has to offer.
No real teaching, no approach to workbenches, just a bunch of specialized items that you can create for a single purpose (therefore not very useful).

Did I really buy this? If you are interested in building a workbench, then get these: Workbench Book by Scott Landis; Workbench by Lon Schleining. `Nuf said.
