4.0 out of 5 stars Good fot the beginer carpenter...., 19 Feb 2002

Francois Saint-Pierre - See all my reviews

This review is from: Measure Twice, Cut Once (Hardcover)

...but not for the furniture/wood worker. If you are looking to work on construction sites, buy this book. If you are looking for wood working tips to assemble furniture, cabinets and the like, consider something else.
