Every woodworker NEEDS this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fixing and Avoiding Woodworking Mistakes (Paperback)
Let's face it. You wouldn't be reading this book if you weren't a woodworker, right? You probably already know what kind of mistakes you're capable of in the shop. This book gives you options to try and fix those mistakes. I had to laugh outloud while reading the book because half the mistakes in the book are things that I've done myself! Lots of design options to save your work from becoming scrapwood.

Woodworking 101,
By Dutchman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fixing and Avoiding Woodworking Mistakes (Paperback)
I found a plethora of information in the book! Some refreshed what I had forgotten and a lot of new tips and tricks for any serious woodworker. I consider myself a "well seasoned woodworker", I began when I was 10 years old working with my Grandfathers tools and guidance. I am now 64 years young and I found this a very informative, easy reading book with very good illustrations. I would recommend it to any serious woodworker.

Generally good, but don't trust the homemade putty recipe,
By wolewyck "wolewyck" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fixing and Avoiding Woodworking Mistakes (Paperback)
This book seems to have lots of great concepts in it for (as the title says) fixing and avoiding mistakes. However, I had a very bad experience with the homemade hide-glue/sawdust putty recipe on page 58. I spent an entire weekend trying to get the recipe to produce something useful, but it just doesn't work.
