I bought this for my brother who belongs to a wood working club. It was a great hit, and he and his mates love looking through the book for inspiration. He's made several of the basic things already, and I can guess what we'll be getting for Christmas this year. A lot of the projects require careful cutting out of templates, etc. so I guess these need something more specialised than a standard jigsaw. I think he'll find something to challenge him and help improve his skills each new project he undertakes.
