Format:Paperback
A very helpful guide to getting it right first time. The book lists so many often overlooked (simple/obvious?!) mistakes that keep amateur carpenters/woodworkers like me, gnashing their teeth, when they realise they've just wasted another perfectly good piece of wood by measuring and consequently cutting, it in the wrong place, or at the wrong angle.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
