3.0 out of 5 stars A decent beginners project workbook., 9 Feb 1999

By A Customer

As books for the beginning knifemaker go "10 projects" is an excelent place to start. Tim McCreight has done a good job of selecting a variety of interesting projects of different skill levels for the novice. Each project is designed to bring a new aspect of knife making to light, and in doing so present a very rounded beginning. I have only two problems which I think the book fails to address. First, the depth of information concerning cutlery and its production could fill several volumes. I believe that Mr. McCreight would have been better served to concentrate on the stock removal method first, so that the finishing and grinding aspects of knife production could be understood in full. Then proceed to the forge and show the transition therefore giving a distinct break and an opportunity for the student to explore the skills involved. The second difficulty I have with this work is that some of the instuctions are difficult to follow and require alot of practice to pull off successfully. Other than that is is a well written and comprehensive work. and although not my first choice for a beginner it is a valuable tool for projects and tecniques.
