Has a couple of decent plans. Glad it was cheap...
3 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have no idea where the author gets off calling this book the Essential anything... This is plain and simple a cheap book with a few very basic woodworking plans for a couple of interesting projects. I bought it specifically for the Franklin chair plan, and might consider maybe 2 of the other projects.... I sure am glad it was cheap....

Nice projects, sketchy on the details
11 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
I bought this book because of the projects in it. There are 12 different projects, ranging from a small spice cabinet, to an outdoor planter bench, and a blanket chest. The designs are very nice, with good photography of each piece. The authors also have nice descriptions of different species of pine, listing what each type of wood is most useful for.
With that said, this book isn't for beginners. It assumes you to be familiar with table saws, jig saws and routers, and techniques like biscuit joins and dovetail joints.
Most of the designs are very good, but a few are missing dimensions for important pieces, and I can't find the errata on the Internet. Unfortunately, those are the projects I really wanted to make!
