I really do like this book but it is misnamed. This is not a book on woodworking itself although there is some good information at the beginning. Buuuuut, 90% of the book is project plans. Don't get me wrong, I am more than glad to cut to the chase and get to the sawdust part but the title is somewhat deceptive. This book is out of print so grab up a copy while you can. But keep in mind what it is and what it is not.
Projects and Instruction Intensive
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book by the guru of woodworking is basic and instructional for the beginner or intermediate woodworker. A few of the projects he gives instructions for, along with many, many illustrations, are a corner shelf unit, cottage stools, dining chair, Welsh dresser, nest of tables, country-style bookcase...everything from a corner shelf unit to a gazebo. I think you will appreciate and benefit from his informative instructions and diagrams in this book.
