The most complete book about woodworking that I have read.
1 Dec 1997
Format:Hardcover
As a beginner to woodworking, I have tried to find a book that has the necessary information to take me to that "next level" of woodworking. I have failed many times, until I bought Nick Engler's Woodworking Wisdom. I would lie to you if I told you I read the whole book, because there is way to much information to do so. I rated it a 9 for one reason, it didn't tell me the thickness of boards after they have been kiln-dryed. Thats all the minuses of this book. It gave me every bit of info all other books offer and more in one book. If I didn't pay for those "other" woodworking books, I would throw them away. If you are new to woodworking, buy this book before you make another project. All you more advanced really could benifit from it too. I could go on for days about this book, but I would rather be trying all this knowlage I have gained on a new project. BUY IT. You need it.

What a nice review of woodworking!
25 Feb 1998
Format:Hardcover
Like all books of an encyclopedic nature this one has it's limitations. It sometimes leaves you wishing for more on a subject. With that in mind I must say this is a very good book. For a beginner it covers an enormous amount of material and for a more advanced woodworker there are pearls all thru it. I have an extensive library of woodworking books with many specialized books and yet I learned something from Mr. Engler's book. I would recommend it for beginners but intermediate woodworker will also benefit from it.

Fantastic!!
14 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
Whether for the beginning woodworker or the advanced Master Carpenter, this book is a must have. It is a wealth of knowledge in one place, from types of wood to types of finishes for your project. In between, the book is jam-packed with helpful tips and general woodworking knowledge. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about getting into woodworking and to the advanced woodworker as a reference.
