New to jointsGreGrea - read on,
By Perspicientia (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic Joints with Power Tools (Paperback)
Great book, well laid out with lots of sensible information.
I particually liked the "easy to replicate" jig section that persuaded me to actually make a few, which I did. Simply the best thing I did as it has now allowed me to make better use of my home workshop tools and produce better work. Good all round book which covers all methods of using a variety of power tools to make great joints with all types catered for.

Classic Joints with Power Tools,
By Peter G. Lynch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Joints with Power Tools (Paperback)
I know Yeung and have taken a number of classes with him. At first, I was surprised to hear that he was writing a book on power tools. He is the master of hand work skill and sensitivity. His philosophy of furnituremaking is one of respectfulness and thoughtfulness about the wood, the design of the peice and the process of creating it. This book on using power tools carries this philosophy through in the directness and clearity of his discritptions, explaination and instruction. His familiarity of the process of joinery is so complete that the information flows to the reader as if they are having a friendly converstaion with Yeung about the ins and outs of what to do and how to do it. I recommend this book fully.

Do it YOUR way, and get it RIGHT.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Joints with Power Tools (Paperback)
This is the book that 'The Complete Illustrated Guide to Joinery by Gary Rogowski ' should have been. Clear and concise photos, clear line drawings and a logical scheme of organisation. The book covers using table saws, routers, bandsaws, drills, morticers and plate joiners to make general and specialised joints. Interestingly it's edited by Andy Rae who also writes for Taunton Press. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful:

Classic Joints with Power Tools sets a new standard!,
By Designer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Joints with Power Tools (Paperback)
This book is logically organized so that it's easy to find the information you need. The clarity of the text is amazing - no extraneous stuff, just a simple, clear description of the how to make the joint and why you would use it. The drawings and photos are EXCELLENT and really help support the text info. Yeung Chan is an excellent teacher!
