Product Description

In this book, author Lonnie Bird demonstrates how versatile and extremely productive the shaper can be. You'll see that the shaper, with its vast assortment of cutterheads, fences, and jigs, can handle a wide variety of woodworking applications. More than just a primer on shaper techniques, this book gives shop-proven examples of how the shaper can be put to use. With an emphasis on safety, this book is a step-by-step guide that will teach you all about the shaper: from basic setups to cutting curved molding profiles to designing shaper jigs that will expand your woodworking potential.

Re: The Shaper Book 15 Sep 2010

By G. Talaska - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Was a little disappointed with this one. I was hoping for "The" definitive Shaper book and what it is is an entry level primer. Almost everything in the book is from the author's experience, he has not searched other sources of information. Fortunately, he does have a good range of experience, so if you are starting out the book has a place....but a whole chapter on basic shaper profiles seems a bit of a waste

The Shaper Book 12 Oct 2008

By E. J. Geymont - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Excellent guide to the use of large shapers. Safety is stressed.
Obviously an old "Pro" because of all the tricks demonstrated to improve project outcome. Would recommend this book for the library of all serious woodworkers.

A great primer 22 Oct 2011

By BillP - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

A well written, well organized introduction to the successful use of a powerful (and potentially dangerous)shop tool. Bird takes the user from principles to setup to most frequent uses of the tool. This a more comprehensive introduction than the operations manuals provided by most manufacturers.
