A Must for Every Woodworker's Library, 4 Feb 2001
By Jack Taylor - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Joinery, Shaping and Milling (Essentials of Woodworking) (Paperback)
A must for every wookworker's library, this book is a well ordered collection of articles written by master craftsmen. Packed with pictures, it begins with how to straighten warped woods then details how to curve straight woods. Full of information on every type of wood joint and jigs to make them work right the first time using one's hand or power tools. I have found the secrets revealed in this book to be most helpful in my understanding how to get the most out of my nice tools. I particularly like the section on how to choose router bits and detect whether or not they are defective. I had an expensive one shatter on first use; no more. I'll use this as a reference many times. It is well worth the buck.

Simply Outstanding, 18 Jun 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Joinery, Shaping and Milling (Essentials of Woodworking) (Paperback)
I fully concur in the comments of the previous evaluator. As I near retirement, I am looking forward to using the great collection of woodworking tools I have amassed. This book has better explanations on the use of a jointer than the material that came with my recently purchased 6" Jet. The pictures, virtually all in color,are very illustrative and the text was just right - not too technical or boring but well written and to the point. The books treatment of straightening less-than-perfect material is outstanding.

JOINERY, SHAPING & MILLING: Techniques and Strategies for Making Furniture Parts from Fine Woodworking (Essentials of Woodworkin, 9 Sep 2011
By KIM the tool man - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Joinery, Shaping and Milling (Essentials of Woodworking) (Paperback)
Great resource for learning how to make specific joints and when to use them and why and how they work. A resource that you will return to again and again for years and years. A timeless source of practical knowledge and how to and why. I wish I had had this book 30 years ago.
