Customer Reviews & Comments
I'm an industrial technology teacher and have been looking for a book for my woodworking class that was not only informative but also "fun" to read. This book explains everything you need to know to begin woodworking. I also learned lots of small tidbits that I haven't read from any other book. The author has been writing wood technology books for at least as long as I've been teaching but this is by far his best effort. I'm not sure how it worked but he combined his experience with the people from wood magazine and the result is a very visual book. Lots of good illustrations to make key points. It has seperate cahpters for each wood joint and well as the "key" components for constructing them. (The best descriptions I've seen)In conclusion, it's the best "1" book I've seen about woodworking and it's processes. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
