Kelly Mehler is a master builder of fine, museum quality furniture. He has been working wood for 27 years, and his one-of-a-kind pieces are collectors items. As a teacher, he is remendously generous with his talents and his help to the amateur woodworker, and this book is a classic example of his style: no-frills, easy-to understand, and non-threatening. This book gives a sense that you can do the task, no matter how daunted you are by it. It is as thorough and well-produced as his two videos, which I am constantly reviewing for technique and procedural questions. I'm telling you, this is the book to buy if you want THE handbook on table saw use, and the videos will become your touchtones for reference and encouragement. Above all else, Mehler respects and loves wood and woodworking, and it comes through in his work, the pieces he builds, the classes he teaches, the videos, and this book. YOU CAN'T MISS WITH THIS ONE.

Great book for beginners (like me) to intermediates. Good detail, lots of pictures. American texts refer to european saws and their safety features regularly. Loads of techniques / ideas.

I was disappointed mainly because i was looking for HOW TO USE with tips, jigs etc. Yes it does have some of this but only about 35% - the rest is all about the different types; set up etc.
Even the how to use is not really comprehensive and i found myself simply experimenting to achieve the best way - maybe that was a good thing!
